Cinema movies come in reels, usually 4 of them, with two projectors cinema houses switch between reels without the viewers even noticing it, usually the reels over lap and a queue is given to the projectionist to switch reels.
Usually the first two reels include most of the plot and the build up, while the last reel include the closure and most of the action, with the third reel stuck in between it offers nothing but a time filler usually including all the plot tie ins which serve nothing but make the plot more believable. In viewers terms, usually the third reel is when most people start feeling bored and sneak out for cigarettes, usually it has more dialog than action. Robert Rodriguez intentionally removed the third reel from his ground house master piece Planet Terror thus shortening the movie and increasing the actions scenes per dialog scenes ration.
Currently I feel like we are stuck in an incredibly long, director cut style third reel of this revolution, where all the plot tie ins happen, lots of dialog no action and instead of moving forward along the plot, time is spent explaining how things turned out to be the way they did...Most of the revolutionary -and even some of the ex regime's- forces sneaked out for that cigarette, Hamdeen has been on omra for over 15 days now, Elbaradei is jetting all over the globe, Shafeek is on omra as well in Dubai where Omar Suliman has spent the last month or two. With an incredibly hot summer around the corner and Ramadan coinciding with it I don't think we are going to get out of this third reel anytime soon.
