What is the main focus of your site?
This blog is a place for us to delve into all facets of classic movie culture … our opinions, our raves, and our complaints. Every week, we take our readers through the ABC's of classic film, providing our recommendations and reviews of classic movie fare. We also provide reviews of some of the most recent DVD treatments and special editions that are released as we come across them. We will also occasionally offer reviews of newly-released biographies and documentaries on all things classic film.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
We love classic films and find ourselves constantly talking about, watching, and dissecting the movies we've seen each week. We also enjoy "meeting up" (virtually speaking) with other classic film fans. In short, the blog allows us to indulge our mutual obsession, hopefully to the education and the enjoyment (or, at the very least, the mild bemusement) of our readers.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
It's a combination of both. We love comments and discussions that may be generated from our posts, but we recognize that many of the people who stumble upon our blog may not be as ... enthusiastic about the topic of classic film as we are.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
We started the blog in December 2009 while we were both in graduate school, so posting has been limited to no more than twice/three times a week. Now that we have both finished grad school, posting will become much more regular.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Casablanca, Singin' in the Rain, Rear Window..

How did you hear about the LAMB?
It has been linked on several of the classic film blogs that we read on a regular basis.

Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that's not listed above.
None.
