Too many movies...well maybe not

Yesterday was spent in front of the TV with Brian. I practiced in the morning, and didn't really feel lik doing any more, so I stopped. Ran into Carrie and went to Java's, then back to the aparment. Me and Brian decided to watch Lawrence of Arabia, which is almost 4 hours long. However, it is truly spectacular, completly gripping from start to finish. After seeing this movie, I wonder how Peter O'Toole never won an oscar...how could the star of Lawrence of Arabia, an all time classic, not have on oscar, after being nominated at least 5 times???? Hmm...However, the two most amazing things about LoA are the score (how could you forget that theme?) and the cinematography. Love the shot of hundreds of men and camels/horses charge into a city, as the camera pans past the entire city and opens on to the ocean at its side. Or the classic, two men on camel running past each other on the open desert with a huge blue sky in the background. Simply amazing. Took a walk with Sara, usual down East Ave, up Park Ave, then back to East. Went back to aparment and taled to Caitlin for a while, she is coming back on Sunday! Sat around for a while, then Alison came over and we watched Wild at Heart...also an amazing movie!! You should all go and see it!
