It looks like most of us will be first in line for the final chapter of Harry Potter this summer. No real surprise there. I’m more surprised at the second place winner Super 8, since I haven’t personally heard much anticipation for. Is this our way of telling Hollywood we’re sick of comic book adaptations?
Next I’m getting back to the LAMMYs. Tell me what you think of the For Your Consideration ads...
The results are in for the latest polls, in which I wanted to know what current LAMMY categories need to go and which ones of years past need to be brought back. With 31% of the votes, Best Random LAMB Banner has been ousted, which makes me a little sad because it is one of the easiest categories to vote in since all the banners can viewed on one page. Coming in second with 22% of the votes was Best Overall Post, which had it not been voted...
As for the...
Not surprisingly, the majority wasn’t terribly impressed with film in 2010, but in the end a few selections made you happy. Why don’t you tell me which of those films you loved by going to Mister Poll and voting in the 4th Annual LIONs for LAMBs? Vote here, or the pestering will get worse.
The new poll is as simple as they come: which film is going to take home Best Picture at the Oscars on Feb. 27th? The poll will be open...
Well, it looks like there was more Bruce Willis than George C. Scott (or whoever stars in your favorite version of A Christmas Carol) being watched by the LAMBs this week. Hopefully it was after all the kids went to bed.
Since 2010 is drawing to a close, what did you think of this year’s films in general. LIONs for LAMBs will be coming up soon, probably the end of January, so this is just a teaser poll.…
...So now for the obligatory holiday film...
In the last poll, Dylan asked if members would be interested in a blog mentoring program geared toward new LAMB members who’ve just started their sites and need a little extra support and advice in the beginning. More details can be found in the last poll post. There was a fair amount of interest for both the mentor role and the rookie role, so if anyone would like to head up this program, please email me here. Since this would be a new...
With every September comes a new NFL season, and with it, hordes of people that obsess over it, and probably just as many that wish it would just go away, as it becomes a part of life that’s difficult to evade (if you were trying to). The intersection of movies and sports isn’t one that I find a ton of people crossing, and on top of that, the LAMB is, of course, an international organization while the NFL is undeniably American,...
Yes, this post commemorating the results of the last poll is roughly a month old, considering it was about the Oscars. Better late than never, no?
Nothing much to interpret with them, either, as I was gauging interest in the Oscars telecast. With an audience of (mostly, I would assume) film bloggers, a tally of 71% with at least marginal interest and 52% with religious interest seems par for the course.
New poll is up. ...
I was more than pleased with the results of the last poll; more than 90% of the respondents showed at least some interest in our current Devours event; judging by the entries so far, I’d say that the enthusiasm was matched. I hope that all you new LAMBs and/or ones that didn’t get in this time will be all over it next year. In fact, with only 24 categories, we might have to come up with a new format. We shall...
Apparently, the distribution company behind Synecdoche, New York has failed miserable. Nearly half the LAMBs that voted in our last poll were even given the chance to see the film. Either LAMBs instinctively live in super-rural areas (fitting, I ‘spose) or the film never made it into more than 50 theaters at a time. Whatever the case, most who had heard of it, and seen it, loved it. It ought to be an interesting case for the...
