Trailer Trash Tuesday: 07/10/2012

by The Vern · Jul 10, 2012 at 13:35 CEST · Trailer Trash · 6 Comments

It looks like everyone’s curiosity got the better of them because “The Amazing Spider-Man” opened up at number one with an impressive sixty two million dollars. I’m sure it is a great movie and may be even better than Raimi’s version, but it’s still too soon to have this version. Having a reboot this early is like giving a kid a cookie and then ten minutes later,he’s wants...

SYTYCR Round 1.4: The Jolly Holly-day VS. The Movie Mugwump (THE MIST)

by Nick Jobe · Jul 10, 2012 at 10:00 CEST · So You Think You Can Review · 8 Comments

(If you have no idea what this is, please click here and here.)
I was kind of surprised to see much fewer votes this time around, especially for a more well-known, classic film. But it was still a decent turnout. Your Accomplice in the Wood Chipper moves on to the next round. As for this next battle… there are some special circumstances. The Movie Mugwump, for health reasons, had to pull out of the competition. I was unable to...

SYTYCR Round 1.3: Your Accomplice… VS. Med School… (North By Northwest)

by Nick Jobe · Jul 8, 2012 at 10:00 CEST · So You Think You Can Review · 2 Comments

(If you have no idea what this is, please click here and here.) Wow! I did not see that coming! The last battle was surely an interesting one! It was a tight race early on, and then it seemed The Crazy 88 had a pretty strong lead for quite a while and was going to easily win the battle. But then in the last few hours, Macaulay Connor caught up from behind and took the lead. And with a whopping total 54(!) votes, the second battle was...

by Jason Soto · Jul 6, 2012 at 10:00 CEST · Ask The LAMB · 3 Comments

Are you ready for the first ever edition of Ask The LAMB? I hope so! In this edition, only two LAMB members sent in questions, so I took to the land of stupid questions, Yahoo! answers, and pulled some entertaining questions.

Today’s guest contributor is Steve Honeywell from 1001plus!

Question #1 by Pat from 100 Years of Movies:

My question is about older films. Why do you think there is a bias against...

Interview with a LAMBpyre: Lindsay of French Toast Sunday

by Bubbawheat · Jul 5, 2012 at 10:00 CEST · Interview With The Lambpyre · 5 Comments

Bubbawheat here with my own take on a feature run very well in the past by Andrew. I wanted to be able to showcase some of the members of the LAMB here with their own words and what better way than by asking them a few questions. I’ll be starting out by talking with some of this year’s Lammy winners, and in the future I plan on highlighting some forgotten LAMBs that are still active, but haven’t been around here in a while....

Hello and welcome to the first match-up of So You Think You Can Review?. I promise the rest of these won’t be so wordy, but I felt the need to do a bit of an introduction here. If this is your first time hearing of this tournament, please read this. Done? Good. All I’d like to add is that all contestants were randomly assigned spots on the list, and each match-up was assigned a movie at random (only checking to make sure they...

Return of the Invasion of the Lambs #2

by Bubbawheat · Jul 2, 2012 at 10:00 CEST · Invasion of the Lambs · 4 Comments

Bubbawheat back again with another game for you. Thanks for a fun first round of Lamb Chop-Ups, it will be back next Monday. The first Invasion of the Lambs game only saw a couple guesses so I hope I made this one a little bit easier for you.

If you have never played this before, it’s basically a screen capture game with a twist. All of the actors heads have been replaced with lambs. Your task is to guess which movie the...
