The contest is part of a wide promotional spend on the PopSugar Network that commits 20 million in run-of-site banner ad and editorial impressions. [PopSugar]

Soft spot for old school fantasy films? New hosted series Fantasy Movie Memories takes a look back at the nostalgia of “the best fantasy films of all time.” While the picks may be up for some debate, the first episode features a lengthy dive into Jim Henson’s first dark fantasy film, The Dark Crystal. This runs long and needs polish. But you can’t say they don’t know their subject matter. [Fantasy Movie Memories on blip.tv]
