That’s (apparently) LAMB-speak for “congratulations.” The final LAMMY tallies are in, and Mark from Where Danger Lives handily secured the award for Best Classic Movie Blog! Ivan, the den master of Thrilling Days of Yesteryear, snagged the runner-up spot. Kudos, guys, for the extremely well-deserved recognition of your respective blogging talents!

Well, failed attempts at emulating Styx aside, there’s really no more appropriate way to express my gratitude … Thank you, Best for Film, for choosing my Psycho ‘ku as a runner-up. Check out all of the fabulous entries chosen as winners and runners-up for the “Hollywood Haiku” competition! And because I couldn’t resist—
Let me preface this post by saying that this movie—1959’s North by Northwest, one of my very favorite films from the erstwhile Master of Suspense—has been on my mind ever since Caroline over at Garbo Laughs announced her Queer Blogathon (which, incidentally, is next month—and if you haven’t already signed up to participate, you definitely should!).…
