I don't see any of this as Alec being an ass. I think all of these little stories are very funny!

I don't think anyone here thinks he was being an ass? I think the stories are funny, too, but I rarely see any stories where he has something positive to say about SW or SW fans.

(from Wikipedia)

Upon his first viewing of the film, Guinness wrote in his diary:

"It's a pretty staggering film as spectacle and technically brilliant. Exciting, very noisy and warm-hearted. The battle scenes at the end go on for five minutes too long, I feel, and some of the dialogue is excruciating and much of it is lost in noise, but it remains a vivid experience."

I don't get it. Which lines in the dialogue are excruciating to him, in particular?
