LAMMY 2011 Self-Promotion Post 4

Woo!  Now that we are into May, the days are ticking down quickly for those of us LAMBs who are struggling up the side of the movie blogging hill to get to the top of it - or at least on one of the higher tiers.

May 9th is coming up and once the nominees are known, you LAMMY ballot voter people will have a chance to check off or click off on those you think are the most worthy of one of these coveted sheep trophies.  Nice looking awards too, they are.

Believe me, I would love more than anything to be nominated for a LAMMY, winning one would even better, but you know what - I'm going out fighting, no matter what, so there you go.

Now, let me tell you why you should think about me for a nom when it comes to:

BEST MOVIE REVIEWER

There's such a thing as taking movies too seriously, I guess, but I love these little pieces of celluloid and, can honestly say that I at least have a good combination of tastes when it comes to what I have reviewed.  Let's face it: I have seen some wild stuff - Grizzly II (which isn't really technically a movie even, just a work print), The Day The Clown Cried (which isn't really a movie but a script for a movie that is very tightly locked away in one of Jerry Lewis' private vaults he leaves his hair oil in) and even a cartoon about the sinking of the RMS Titanic.  While not normal things to review by any stretch, I guess anyone could do it.

Why should you think about ME for an award for all of these reviews, though?  Well, what can I tell you; I think when you read a review for anything - movies, TV shows, books, anything - it should be something that has enough detail in it and be entertaining enough that while yes, I may even hate the thing, I at least get enough across that you want to seek out the topic and find it yourself to make your own decision.

So why should you listen to a man who's crazy enough to watch Night of Horror?  Because I care about you, little ones.  I care about what you want to watch on TV or your PC or whatever.  I want to give you the option that while that IS a foreign ripoff of Star Wars in your hand, you should have enough knowledge of what you are abut to get into before you pop it into your DVD player.

I think I know enough about my movies to get the point across to you.  Pretty sure I do.

Besides which, who wants to read something boring?  You might as well crack open that textbook about Euclidian Geometry and say good-bye to your brain cells.  Humor is the best way to keep people awake when they're reading something - ANYTHING - and I try to put in as much of that in everything I do.  I like to be entertained by what I read.  Don't you?

So there you go.  I think that's about as good a series of reasons to nominate me up.

Remember, you have up to May 9th to nominate.  So start nominatin'...and don't forget who sent ya over!

Dope out.
