Lawrence of Arabia? OK, you know what? I don't get it.
This movie should have been an hour and a half. Jeez, I mean, that long shot of Omar Sharif coming across the desert was like, what, 20 minutes?
I think this is about the most over-rated film of all time.
Ronin's really good, though.

I also think "Lawrence of Arabia" was a great film. As for the long panoramic shots, heck, it was an Epic. We don't get much of those from Hollywood anymore. People's attention spans are, what, 30 seconds nowadays? What was I saying? Oh, and, almost anything by the Coen brothers.
