GEN MURRAY: Your Bedouin army, or whatever it's called, is a side-show of a side-show.
DRYDEN: Big things have small beginnings, sir.
M: Does the 🇬🇧Arab Bureau want a 'big thing' in Arabia?
[LATER]
LAWRENCE: Oh, thanks, Dryden. This is going to be fun.
DRYDEN: Lawrence, only two kinds of creature get fun of the desert: Bedouins and #gods, and you're neither. Take it from me; for ordinary men, it's a burning, fiery furnace.

Colonel Edward Thomas Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia died this day: May 19, 1935, He was 46.
“[Winston] Churchill’s eulogy was rather more loquacious: “I deem him one of the greatest beings alive in our time. I do not see his like elsewhere. I fear whatever our need we shall never see his like again.”

I usually follow back, & really appreciate boosts. Thanks.

Lawrence of Arabia was released exactly 60 years ago in 1962. (Click on hashtag below to see some commemorative posts.)
To celebrate the anniversary of his favourite film, here is Morris of Arabia in traditional Arab head dress. But don't tell him you can see it is really a tea towel.
David Lean's epic #LawrenceOfArabia hit theatres 60 years ago today. Where did this iconic look at T.E. Lawrence land on our list of greatest biopics? Find out now: https://thatshelf.com/the-25-best-biopics-of-all-time-ranked/
60 years ago today #LawrenceOfArabia premiered in London. I've made a life's work of studying that #movie. Like other #DavidLean #films, it gets richer the more you dig into it.
I began a scene-by-scene analysis #podcast "Nothing Is Written" to get down some of my thoughts. Then podfade.
And you need the images to do a proper analysis. My plan in 2023 is a Watch Along aimed at the obsessive film geek. It won't have broad appeal but we dedicated maniacs will love it.

@LostinVHS I watched it yesterday.
Yes it's thought provoking - mostly because nothing happens in the film. Unless you count the various domestic appliances and meat preparation (schnitzel and meatloaf).
There's even a scene where nothing happens, which I thought the whole film must have been building up to - but then after that something happened.
Sorry for the spoilers.
I'll stick with #LawrenceOfArabia and #2001ASpaceOdyssey thank you

#LawrenceOfArabia is one of my fave movies of all time… just found out it was issued in 4K UHD over the summer and is already out of print and selling for over $100?! Granted, it was a limited edition, but sheesh. I am most displeased. #Film
