WHAT SHOULD THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT YOU?  
I'm a wee Scottish expat living in Finland with my Darlin Husband. We've been together for over 12 years and he's my best friend, and sometimes editor of my blog posts. I write an entertainment blog on all things entertainment which includes films and TV and remembrance posts to blogathons.

I love this entertainment niche as I've met lots of lovely people so far be they fellow bloggers or those who work in the entertainment field.  I do try actively to tag those acting talents I write about in my entertainment reviews. I like to think of it as my wee thank you to their performance in the film or TV Show I'm writing about. So I usually get superexcited if an actress or actor retweets, likes a post or follows me. 

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BLOG? 
My blog kind of evolved in both posts and pages and I was lucky to find a theme that showcased these both perfectly. I usually write about entertainment from the 1960s onwards but am easily swayed if it's an actor or actress or a film I adore.

I really love finding more obscure later work from their careers though and I usually find my review content on those video sharing platforms. I am a huge fan of the original Dallas series and I do usually mention it in my reviews especially if someone has starred in the show. 

WHO OR WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE REALWEEGIEMIDGET REVIEWS? 
My Darlin Husband suggested that I write and I first wrote a review on the movie Love and Mercy. This was when he was away on a work trip and I couldn't talk to him as he was in a different time zone. So I wrote as if I was telling him about it. 

Love and Mercy is both a biopic and a film about mental health and therefore the perfect film to inspire me. I love to read biographies and autobiographies on the stars. And I am very passionate about mental health issues having worked in this field for over 15 years.  After this post it kinda snowballed into an entertainment blog of all sorts...

WHO ARE 5 OF YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE STARS? 
Jack Nicholson, Lee Grant, Michael Caine, Kathleen Turner and Ruth Gordon. I love all these five in everything that I've seen from their filmographies so far. Three out of five of them, that is Jack Nicholson, Lee Grant and Michael Caine, have figured in my blogathons so far and the other two will probably make an appearance in a blogathon from me one day.

I have really enjoyed learning more about their TV and movies and their films are probably the most prolific in my reviews. So any recommendations on their work, please send it my way...

IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME FOR ONE DAY, WHEN WOULD YOU GO & WHY? 
I would probably like to go back in time to see my dad, and my uncle and my grandparents again. I really envied Kathleen Turner's character in Peggy Sue Got Married when she got to go back in time, and she got to do this. 

Now I am older I can appreciate this part of the film so much more now. The trouble is I would just like to extend this one day for a wee bit longer as one day with these people just wouldn't be enough.

tales from the freakboy zone...

...is an eclectic blog full of short stories, so-called poetry and miscellaneously random ramblings from the bent mind of John L. Harmon.  He began telling these tales in May of 2013, but feared he would have to permanently end this blog in December of 2016 when he lost a chunk of his vision.  John slowly found his way back to these tales during the summer of 2017 and now continues full freaky steam ahead.

  The Collective Eye is on...  WHAT SHOULD THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT YOU?  Although I have had my struggles in life, I don't give up. For example, i've a learning disability but I don't let it define me or bring me down. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BOOKS & ART?  I want the world to be a happier place. I am a very creative person & I want people to smile when they see my art & when they read my books. WHO/WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BEGIN WRITING & CREATING ART?   The art, clearly visiting museums when I was younger.     Being taken to art museums in my youth has impacted me enormously. As for my writing. I am very much inspired by the classics, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Elliot, the Brontë sisters, etc. WHAT ARE 5 OF YOUR FAVORITE ART STYLES?   I am obsessed with the art of the 19th century and early 20th century.
