    People don't want to see the original print of Star Wars, that thing must look awful by now. They want someone to restore it like they did with Lawrence of Arabia. Not *fuck with it*, preserve it. Restore it to its original glory. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

    That's longer than Ben-Hur or Lawrence of Arabia and those movies have intermissions. You need to EARN the right to make a movie that long and Marvel has not earned that.

    He judged a movie based on what it was trying to do, not whether it was Lawrence of Arabia. His review of Booty Call has always stuck with me, and was a perfect example of why he was great. “I’m astonished at some of the things I laugh at. But laugh I do.” www.rogerebert.com/reviews/boot...

    It’s Maurice Jarre’s birthday. He had an illustrious career as a film composer (Lawrence of Arabia) but I first came across him when I saw Witness. His score is exquisite but this scene, in particular, is just beautiful, with the synthesiser played by Clark Spangler: youtu.be/BL_X7GelX5Q?...

    LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962): Too epic to summarise in a bleat, so I will say two things: 1) The film is a weird time capsule of a time when American audiences could be expected to identify with Arab nationalism and even a romantic view of Islam. That period was brief but very interesting in retrospect

    This is a trivial example but the widespread and persistent inability to identify obviously fake information online (the film is 11 months away, doesn’t have a final edit yet, is probably still in the reshoot stage, and won’t be as long as Lawrence of Arabia) is a bigger problem

    Latest read, Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1926) by TE Lawrence; no wonder the movie Lawrence of Arabia is great--to capture even a fraction of this remarkable book would produce those results. Brutally matter-of-fact & hauntingly lyric, Lawrence's intelligence, will, & sensitivity lives on every page.

    It will never cease to astound me that Preston wasn't nominated for an Oscar for it. (The film got nominated for Best Picture, losing to Lawrence of Arabia) A fun tidbit: "Great honk!" replaces the archaic regional minced oath "Jeely Kly!" from the stage show.

    The 1960s was a point where they still had vestiges of studio craftsmanship but budgets were ballooning while film topics were diversifying and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA was made right in that sweet spot. Earlier and it would have been neutered. Later and it would have been grungier.
