    Another LIONs for LAMBs Reminder

    You only have 11 days left to vote in the 4th Annual LIONs for LAMBs. So far there are only 20 voters. We have over 800 members. I suck at math, but even I know that percentage is way low.

    You don’t have to vote in every question (though I wish you would), but at least give your Top 10…please. Thanks to the 20 who have voted, of course. The rest of you follow this link to...

  • Our Acronym is Better Than Theirs – Picking the LAMB’s Top 10 9 Chick Flicks

    Our Acronym is Better Than Theirs – Picking the LAMB’s Top 10 9 Chick Flicks

    Do you even remember this one? It sorta got lost in the shuffle when Dylan stepped down and I took over back in October. Actually, it sorta got lost in the shuffle during voting, because we had a record low of 5 voters chime in. I was going to just skip over the results, but that wouldn’t be fair to the five LAMBs who took time to make their lists and vote.

    So here are the LAMB’s Top 10 9 Chick Flicks (1st...

    LAMB Leaderboard Updated for December

    In an impressive 10-space jump, Anomalous Material has dethroned Where Danger Lives after a three-month reign at the top of the leaderboard. Congrats!

    We had seven new/returning entrants to the board but we’re up to 35% of the leaderboard being populated with the generic LAMB Banner when we were down to only 10% in November.

    Speaking of LAMB Banners, a new one, from Wide Screen World, has been added to the...

    Poll Results; New Poll

    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.…

    LAMB Casting: Forrest Gump (VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!)
    Andrew (from Encore’s World & Film & TV) here with the latest in LAMB Casting. I sent out missives (not really) asking you to recast Forrest Gump, the 1994 megahit. It’s not really an actors’ flick – but there’s a quintet of roles that has all the melodrama for any interested thespian to sink their teeth into. Which of the following would make the best re-imagining?
