So, in my multiple year long quest to make it through the AFI Top 100, Gene and I are sitting here watching Lawrence of Arabia. I think the fact that I am writing this post tells you just how much attention I am paying to the movie.<\/p>\n
Seriously…I thought it was almost over and then Gene hits some button on the xBox controller and I realize that we are 90 minutes INTO the movie…and 140 minutes until the end of the movie. “But the good news is that 5 or 10 minutes of it is probably intermission!” Gene says helpfully.<\/p>\n
“That is the best worst news I have ever heard, babe.”<\/p>\n
(Note: I love old movies…but hate LONG movies)<\/p>\n
Anyway, Gene also told me that this is basically an Omar Sharif-Peter O’Toole bromance. Perhaps it will be remade soon with two of the guys from The State, or perhaps Jack Black and the Indian guy from the Harold and Kumar movies.<\/p>\n
(Hey, speaking of which…did you hear that there’s going to be a third Harold and Kumar movie in 2010?? yes!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
