    Speaking of LAMB Banners, five new ones have been added to the Gallery/random...

    Poll Results; New Poll

    Not surprisingly, the majority wasn’t terribly impressed with film in 2010, but in the end a few selections made you happy. Why don’t you tell me which of those films you loved by going to Mister Poll and voting in the 4th Annual LIONs for LAMBs? Vote here, or the pestering will get worse.

    The new poll is as simple as they come: which film is going to take home Best Picture at the Oscars on Feb. 27th? The poll will be open...

    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...

    It’s Blusterin’ Time!

    And remember: Blustering should be a two-way street; if you’ve asked to be blustered, you better be a blusterer.

    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...
