    LAMB Leaderboard Updated for April

    For the fourth month in a row MiNG Movie Reviews continues to rule the leaderboard. Congrats again! I feel like a broken record.

    We have five new/returning entrants to the board and still at 25% of the leaderboard being populated with the generic LAMB Banner. Send me your personalized LAMB Banners to get that percentage lower.

    Speaking of LAMB Banners, four new ones have been added to the Gallery/random banner widget. Want yours...

    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...

    Well it’s good to know that people didn’t participate in the LION Awards or LAMB Devours the Oscars due to forgetting. The majority of poll participants say they did participate in LIONs and Devours. A tie for second place were the new LAMBs who weren’t around during the features and the folks who didn’t see enough films to participate. It’s good to know that only four LAMBs claimed no interest at all.

    As for the...

    LAMB Casting: Magnolia (VOTING TIME)
    This time you had a bit hard, you had to recast the huge ensemble of P. T. Anderson’s Magnolia and more than a few participants and spectators commented on the difficulty of it (especially a certain role created by Julianne Moore. I received four interesting casting ideas, each with more than a bit of merits. Here they are.           CAST A Susan Sarandon (Narrator); Christian Bale (Frank T. J. Mackey);...

    Well with 45% of the vote, we easily pre-crowned The King’s Speech as Best Picture before the Academy. Sucks to be The Fighter without a single supporter. Of course in hindsight, I realize I should’ve included a sister poll which would’ve asked which film you thought should win also. I’ll remedy that mistake next year. Now for new polls…plural. Participation was way down in this...
