Thoughts: The Diamond Arm



We had to watch this movie in my Russian class this week. It's a comedy from the sixties I believe. I thought it was really funny. The director is pretty much just making fun of Stalinist Russian ideals. I've seen a lot of Russian movies so I'm kind of used to them but for someone who isn't familiar with Soviet history or cinema some of the jokes may be hard to get. It definitely helped having my Russian Professor there to explain some of the more obscure humor. I'm not sure how many people have seen this or have access to it, or are even interested in seeing it, but if you are, it's funny and enjoyable.

About This Thing

This blog is about film and life in the wonderful world of LA. I'm a filmmaker just getting started; I'm navigating my way through the industry, trying to find work, and sometimes even managing to make a living.

I've worked across the country on projects big and small. Everything from an indie in PA shot during the dead of winter to one of the bigger reality shows involving Models and the things they do.

I also just love doing things*. I'm a writer, aspiring director, wannabe photographer and cook. I waste too much time on the internet and sometimes all I want to do is hang out with my dog.

Stick around and chances are you'll catch me writing about it all.

*I use the word "thing" a lot. An inappropriate amount. I can't help it. There are just so many different things to talk about. And I just kind of like it.
