Thursday's Things to Click On (2/18/10)

It's been nearly two and a half years since the last time I did one of these posts, but it's high time I brought it back. Though I still do a fair bit of movie blog reading, I've found that being the so-called shepherd of the LAMB has taken some of the fun of discovering new sites and great posts away from me - it's much harder to discover things when they're always brought to you first, and I have less and less time to read (and write) posts these days. Those aren't complaints, but mere facts mixed with a smidge of nostalgia, I suppose.

This re-introductionary post (sure, 'cause that's a word) is somewhat ironic in that I'm not exactly going outside the box. All are from friends and LAMB members (though that's likely to be increasingly harder to avoid, not that I mind), and they're also even readers of this site, but a) it's a good place to start and b) I enjoyed all of these posts greatly:

* First, how often is it that you have the chance to have a truly great time at the theater (quality of the film you're seeing notwithstanding). Here, Plus Trailers' Tom Clift regales us with the "greatest cinema experience of his life."

* Rachel of Rachel's Reel Reviews says "I Love You" a lot on Valentine's Day.

* Travis over at The Movie Encyclopedia is also a Survivor fan. Here, he steps outside his movie-reviews-only realm to interview the first Survivor: H vs. V castoff.

* Finally, a total cheat, as this one is directly from the LAMB. I probably shouldn't specifically call anybody out, as I don't want to offend anyone else, but Jason's writeup on District 9 illustrated why he's one of the funnier movie writers I get a chance to read, even if most of the time he's writing about movies I don't care about. Maybe you could start up an "A Movies" website, Jason? C'mon, we know you've got the time.


And for those that care, have no fear: the Survivor live blog is still coming in a few hours.
