    Pitch the LAMB: To Infinity and Beyond
    The first Pitch the LAMB of the year sparked a fair bit of interest but only one actual submission. Several people remarked that writing plots for Science Fiction films just was not their thing. Hopefully March’s Pitch the LAMB will spark the creative juices a little more. Anyways, on to the submission: Big Thoughts From A Small Mind offers up “Kopera“…...

    LAMB Casting: Doubt Pt. 2

    Andrew here, from Encore’s World of Film & TV. I’m very late with this, but I’ve had a hectic week – which is no excuse but (shrugs) it is what it is. As usual I’m not revealing who the competitors were, but this week the lineup was very interesting. Six of you decided to recast 2008’s Awards hit of sorts and I’d rather watch each of these films than the actual cast…and I liked...

    LAMB Casting: Doubt
    Hello, folks. This is Andrew from Encore’s World of Film & TV with another episode of LAMB Casting. I’m veering into recent times with this entry 2008’s Oscar nominated Doubt. I know you’re probably all queasy at the thought of recasting La Streep herself, but she’s probably busy prepping herself for this year’s ceremony so reading LAMB is probably low on her list of...

    LAMB Casting: A Streetcar Named Desire: The Results
    Morning, folks. Andrew from Encore’s World of Film & TV, I’m here to give you the results for the first episode of LAMB Casting – my new feature. The task was to cast A Streetcar Named Desire, classic film with Viven Leigh and Marlon Brando directed by the legendary Elia Kazan. Four imaginative LAMBs gave me their choices on who should play Stanley, Blanche, Mitch and Stella. I’d like to thank them all...

    LAMB Casting: A Streetcar Named Desire Ep. 1 Pt. 2
    Andrew here again from Encore’s World of Film & TV. Thanks to all the participants in the first run of LAMB Casting. We now move on to the second portion of the exercise; you LAMBs must now decide which of the casts is best. Because I’m neurotic like that I’m going to omit the names of the participants to make the voting that more fun. So here are the four options, do your voting.

    LAMB Casting: A Streetcar Named Desire
    The other day Fletch made a call for new contributors to LAMB, so here I am with a new feature for you fellow LAMBS. LAMB Casting. I’m Andrew from Encore’s World of Film & TV.        I know that it’s blasphemous and all, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who imagines re-casting movies, books, TV shows, classics. You can’t help but think, who’d be a good modern day Rhett Butler or Eleanor of...

    LAMB Leaderboard updated for April!

    …and we have a new B.L.O.C. (Big LAMB on Campus). Technically, The Lightning Bug’s Lair is atop the Leaderboard, but per the “no site shall own the B.L.O.C. spot for consecutive months, regardless of the stats” rule, Spaghetti Sauce and Sweet Peas gets their banner featured this month (by virtue of having a higher pages/visit over Sarahnomics, who also delivered 65 hits).

    Complicated, no?

    Poll results; new poll

    Yes, this post commemorating the results of the last poll is roughly a month old, considering it was about the Oscars. Better late than never, no?

    Nothing much to interpret with them, either, as I was gauging interest in the Oscars telecast. With an audience of (mostly, I would assume) film bloggers, a tally of 71% with at least marginal interest and 52% with religious interest seems par for the course.

    New poll is up. ...

    LAMB Leaderboard updated for February!

    You know, I was a little embarrassed after seeing the February total for Blog Cabins and almost manually altered the number to move myself down the leaderboard, but I remembered a few things:

    * First, the data is impartial; I go to Google Analytics, select the dates and report the numbers. If anything, the number for BC is lower than it should be, as I think I’ve blocked a few IPs from reporting to Analytics (just because I...
