A friend who saw Lions for Lambs says it runs 88 minutes, and is calling it “a Godard movie” in the most intriguing sense of that term. It’s almost all talk and that’s fine, he says, because it really rips into the Bushies and their mishandling of the Middle Eastern terrorist threat. The hottest promotional angle for the film is that it will likely piss off Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and all the other staunch neocon militarists to no end, and good for that because it’ll be a lot of fun to see them fuming with necks and faces turning beet red.
