THE LATE LATE SHOWS
George Lucas
Years of Lag Time 22 (between 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope and 1999's Episode
I—The Phantom Menace)
Was It Worth the Wait? In a word, no. Need we bring up Jar Jar Binks?
Terrence Malick
Years of Lag Time 20 (between 1978's Days of Heaven and 1998's The Thin Red Line)
Was It Worth the Wait? Yes. Despite the star-studded epic's meandering plot, the visuals are
stunning.
Stanley Kubrick
Years of Lag Time 12 (between 1987's Full Metal Jacket and 1999's Eyes Wide Shut)
Was It Worth the Wait? Not exactly. The director's posthumously released film was
disappointingly opaque.
