Honorable Mention: "Looks like that Proactiv stuff really work for ya." (Courtesy of Rachel [f.g.i.])

As much as pains me to say it, Castor was right.

And the winner is... Kai!!!

Part of me hopes Dylan starts a feud with Kai over this. I always wanted to be the instigator of a war. (Not actually true!)

They want to make sequels and prequel's to Blade Runner????!!!!???? The catalyst for the 2012 apocalypse has been found. Now, we have to destroy it! Join with me, brothers! Let us fight! Let us drink to the power! Drink to the sound! Thunder and metal are shaking the ground! Drink to your brothers who are never to fall! We are brothers of metal here in the hall!

They'll be our harbingers!

I swear to you. This thing about Manowar is completely healthy.

Anyway, here are some things upon which you can click, which will take you to new things, upon which you can read.

In a not so subtle stroking of my own ego, here's my conversation with Hatter on Say Anything. I know I already put this up yesterday, but, screw you! Any publicity is good publicity!

Darren of the m0vie blog give us some of his excellent Non-Review Reviews. See him blast through Armageddon and Piranha 3D.

Our friendly neighborhood Kaiderman lists off his favorite alien movies in honor of Battle: Los Angeles opening today.

Tom reviews one of the best movies of last year, 127 Hours. I wish I could say it was as EXTREME as mine, but that would be lying.

Finally, LAMB Movie of the Month is being brought back. For the kick-off, we have a real winner, Black Dynamite. All are welcome to participate.

FOR FREEDOM!!! BEAUTY!!! TRUTH!!! AND LOVE!!!!

Other Sides to the Conversation: Week of February 18th

So, I started a Twitter for the site. Wanna keep up with what's going on, what movie I'm seeing, and whatnot? Hit that ol' follow button.

Anyway. Here are some things upon which you can click, which will take you to new things, upon which you can read.

Peter makes his Oscar Predictions. When discussing Best Supporting Actress, I'm with him on his Melissa Leo prediction, but I'm still pulling for Hailee Steinfeld upset.

Nick is soldiering on with his 60/60 crusade. This week, he looks at a film I really should get around to seeing one of these days, Annie Hall.

Kai lists off the Top 10 Leading Men Working Right Now. It's a strong as hell list, and one that inspired me to finally hunt down and check out Gangs of New York (review coming next week).

Last, but not least, the LIONs have started. The LAMB has voted, and these are the results. Here are the LAMB's choices for the best posters of the year.

9 more days bitches!!! I hope you're ready!!

Other Sides to the Conversation: Week of February 4th

Uhhh... yeah. JoGo's in The Dark Knight Rises. That's all the news that's fit to print this week.

What are you looking at?

Anyway. Here are some things upon which you can click, which will take you to other things, upon which you can read.

Film Intel gives their opinion on a personal guilty pleasure, Black Dynamite. He and I couldn't have more differing opinions on the matter.

In another installment of his ongoing, IS IT JUST ME, series, Kai voices the question that's been plaguing a lot of people, whether or not Toy Story 3 should be nominated for Best Picture.

The m0vie blog looks at another casting rumor tied to The Dark Knight Rises. This one is interesting, to say the least.

And finally, Fletch, Hatter, and I have all made the decision that Disqus, while a fun experiment, failed to deliver the goods, and, as such, we have switched back to Blogger's regular comment system.

These are trying times we live in. Keep your head on a swivel. Travel in packs. And always carry your sword. You'll be ok!

Other Sides of the Conversation: Week of January 21

All sorts of madness going down right about now. Golden Globes, and my esteemed lack of interest. Term starts up in a few days, so the amount of posts may go down, but I hope not. Oh, you may notice the new comment thing. That's Disqus, and it's awesome. Get it if you don't have it! The new year is full swing and people are, more or less, back on their usual routines.

Anyway...

Here are some things upon which you click, which will take you to new things, upon which you can read. Enjoy.

Vancetastic takes a look at why a badass like Samuel L. Jackson never gets laid on screen.

Kai lists off the reasons why he is Marvel.

Univarn's Life gets a bit crazy and existential.

Andrew looks at how Oscar is blown out of proportion.

And another thing...

You may have noticed a new tab below the "Best Of What's Around" one, titled "Blogs About Other Things, Written By Other Friends, Which You Should All Totally Go To Because I Say So". Bit of a mouthful, but I like it! Those links are to blogs that friends of mine on the outside of the filmic universe keep. They are really good, and some of them are just starting out, and would appreciate some love. Just a thought...

LAMBcast #33: Top 5 Reasons I Should Never Host

Be prepared as I thoroughly embarrass myself hosting this latest episode of the LAMBcast. For this episode, Nick, Jason, James, Kai, and I all came up with a Top 5 list to share with everyone. It went on forever, and we had a total blast. It's followed up, as always, by some Last Lamb Standing and Trailer Talk. Enjoy!

Note: This is the last one I'm gonna be doing for awhile! You know, college. So, if you enjoyed hearing me shoo the shit with these guys, you'll have to wait a little bit for the next installment. You never know. Maybe I'll work some stuff out and start my own podcast. We'll just have to wait and see.
