LAMBs in the Director's Chair
Event #5: Clint Eastwood
January 18 to 20, 2010

I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

It is that time when we must ask ourselves if we can handle the fifth installment of the LAMBs in the Director's Chair event. Can we? Yes, we can! We will be directing our aim (double pun intended) toward Clint Eastwood who has been involved in Hollywood filmmaking for a bazillion years. Okay, so it may be a slight over exaggeration to claim that he's been around for a bazillion years since we all know that Mickey Rooney has been around longer then Eastwood has been in the business. After all I doubt anyone will ever break Rooney's industry record for the best attendance at the Oscar's award ceremonies! Anyway, I should say that we will be concentrating on Eastwood's directorial contributions in Hollywood and not the films in which he is credited with just an acting role. Since he has produced numerous films in which he has been credited with an acting and directing role it would be safe to cover any one of those films in an article. If you are drawing a blank on his directorial credits then you might want to visit this link to help refresh your memory.

Here are a few general rules that will apply to the Director's Chair event:

You must be currently listed as an active member of the LAMBs site to participate.
The submitted articles for the event can be either a film review or an editorial about his career as a director.
Every participant is allowed to submit multiple reviews and/or articles for the event.
All submissions are to be sent by e-mail to mattehavoc@gmail.com with a direct link to each published article.
DEADLINE to participate in the event is January 17th at 10 PM local time.

These guidelines have been enacted as a way to avoid the possibility that your article or articles will be accidentally over looked. If I do not receive an e-mail with a direct link to the published articles by the deadline then there is a chance that your submission will not be included in the event. Do not risk the chance of being left behind. I will admit that I do not have the available time to peruse through all 400+ members of the LAMBs site to find any articles that are related to the event. So, it would very helpful for me if you would be able to e-mail me any and all articles that you may have for the event with a direct link. Feel free to ask any questions if you have one. In the mean time here are a few banners to post on your blog site to help promote the event.
