    LAMB Casting: All About Eve (VOTING BEGINS)

    Andrew here. I’ve received your entries for LAMB Casting this month, recasting the 1950 classic All About Eve – and they sure are inspired. Now it’s time for all you LAMB members (and non-members) to start voting. Sure, you’re probably tired from voting for the LAMMY’s and what not (bombard Rachel if you want your results, ha) but this is simple. Just one click. You’ve got some great options...

    Karen is there wondering when you’re going to send in your ideas for recasting All About Eve. That’s the feature movie this month on LAMB Casting. We’re recasting the principal players and you have until next Thursday to send in your ideas.

    Poll Results; New Poll

    Well, it seems the For Your Consideration banners decorating the LAMB during the LAMMY nominations voting were very helpful, or at least entertaining, to most. We had a record-breaking 81 banners this year, up 16 from the 2010 LAMMYs. Thanks to all who sent them in and all the voters who actually took them under consideration.

    And now for something new. There have been a few bloggers whom I regularly read discussing their DVD/Blu-Ray...

    LAMB Casting: All About Eve

    Andrew here, with another episode of LAMB Casting. We took a relatively new film the last time with P. T. Anderson’s Magnolia but this month we return to our classic roots and are recasting Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s 1950 Best Picture winner All About Eve. It’s a notorious ensemble (featuring one Oscar winning and four Oscar nominated performances) and it’s appeared time and time again on list of ...

    Interview with a LAMBpire: Robert of His Eyes Were Watching Movies
    Andrew here with another episode of Interview with a LAMBpire where the winners of LAMB Casting get interviewed by moi. Robert of His Eyes Were Watching Movies is this month’s winner. Andrew: How important you think casting is in film? Does the actor make the role or vice versa?                  Robert: I don’t know if casting is the most important aspect of a film –...

    Poll Results; New Poll

    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...

    LAMB Casting: Magnolia (RESULTS)
    Andrew here: I’ll admit, when CS suggested the idea of recasting Magnolia I was intrigued for the very same reason it seems like a strange idea. It’s a recent flick, the cast is huge and Anderson’s films always seem so meticulously casted. So, I was interested in seeing what you’d come up with. Even those of you who didn’t participate had some great ideas, and by great I mean hilarious (like Jose’s suggestion of...

    Poll Results; New Poll

    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...
