    Updated LAMB Scroll Box Code

    File this under: things I should have thought of long ago.

    At the bottom of the LAMB Scroll Box, I tell you to “email the LAMB” if you want an updated version of the code. I get requests periodically, but for the most part, people’s boxes on their sites are wildly out of date (even the one on BC gets that way sometimes).

    Such is the trouble of not having something that can update dynamically. I’ve been...

    For Your Consideration: Valley Dreamin’

    Hey you! Send me an FYC image and I will put it up! I don’t care if I get one from 50 sites, I’ll find a way to get them all up, and as soon as possible (the nomination voting period only lasts until May 4th!). When you’re ready to vote, do it here: http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/430540

    PRESS RELEASE: Three Monkeys
    Hi,

    Since you write a film blog, we thought you’d like to know that The Auteurs, an online cinematheque and social networking site for cinema, and Zeitgeist Films are celebrating Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan this month by showing his two newest films on The Auteurs for free.

    Ceylan’s newest film, Three Monkeys, which garnered him the Best Director award at the 2008 Cannes...

    LAMMY Nomination Voting Progress

    As a passive form of virtual pestering, I’ll be periodically posting this, a progress thermometer tracking the number of LAMMY voters to date. We’re currently at 8, versus a goal of 141, which is 50% of the eligible sites. For reference, last year, we had 35/78 (45%) voter turnout.

    Horror bloggers – get on the ball soon or I’m coming for you. In general, you’re notoriously bad LAMB participants...

    For Your Consideration: Spaghetti Sauce and Sweet Peas

    There was mention of this in the comments section of the 2009 LAMMYs announcement post, but just in case you didn’t see that, this is your official invitation: send me an FYC image and I will put it up. I don’t care if I get one from 50 sites, I’ll find a way to get them all up, and as soon as possible (the nomination voting period only lasts until May 4th!).

    Get to know your Fletch!

    I mentioned last week that I was asked to be a part of MovieBlips Box Office Prediction feature that they were running. Well, I didn’t want to spoil it at the time, but they also asked to interview me as a part of their Blogger Profile series; humbled, I agreed (I think I’m the first one in the series). Heck, I even sent them a doofy picture of myself for all the world to see.

    You can read it all here (just in time for the...

    You are cordially invited to attend the 2009 LAMMY Awards

    Can you feel the excitement? One year and over 200 additional LAMBs later, it’s time for the 2nd Annual LAMMYs.

It’s a pretty self-explanatory event, and can be summed up in a nutshell like so:

    Judge your peers! Brag about your standing within the...
