Flawrence of Arabia

May 02, 2007 00:34

I've now seen Lawrence of Arabia as it was meant to be seen: in 70mm, on a HUGE screen, and with my glasses. It's both more beautiful and more flawed than ever. Flawed, in the sense that now I can see it should be subtitled: THE EYELINER EDITION. Seriously, boys, it's cute, but how much makeup did you take to the desert ( Read more... )

Erm, not the highest quality pic, but:

Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Seriously, kids? Seriously?

This might count as a spree for Alec Guinness tinyholidays May 2 2007, 13:40:35 UTC

I totally forgot about that movie! I saw it years ago, because Art Malik has a tiny part in it.

Oh hey, The Far Pavilions with Amy Irving as an Indian princess:

Lol, that guy sort of looks like Jimmy Fallon.

I really need to see this again.

I like the movie, but it really changes a lot of the psychological elements of the book, so I always feel a little miffed whenever I see it.

Oh, I know! And that one's not just miscasting, but offensive as well! (I don't think the Arabs in LoA are portrayed offensively; just laziness on the part of the casting folks who were probably really proud of finding Omar Sharif and went home after that.)

The Yunioshi thing is almost so offensive as to endanger the rest of the movie, really.

Yeah. I've never been a big fan; I don't know how much of that is that particular aspect, but I don't ever go back and watch it.

Wow. I didn't even think to go there. Though, on the other hand, aren't they supposed to be fake in the movie?

I think your response is supposed to be: "OMG U R BRILLIANT! LOLOLLERSKATEZ!"
