In October of 2010, Dylan (founder of this lovely community) asked a shocking question on Facebook: Would anybody be willing to take over running the LAMB? What?! It was like Santa was asking one of the elves if they wanted to run the North Pole, which could only result in total chaos.
After emailing Dylan to verify that he must be joking, I found out that he indeed was completely serious. Real life had gotten in the way, and he no...
LAMB Devours the Oscars is almost here! If you weren’t a member last year, here’s a little summary of what goes on: I will take up to 33 volunteers to write posts that will be featured daily on the LAMB from the time the nominees are announced (Jan. 24th) up to the day before the actually ceremony (Feb. 26th). You can do a review of the films, general discussion of the nominees, backstory/history on the category itself, give your...

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...
