You probably thought I would take time off my blog, didn’t you? Well, it’s not as if I’d be leading an interesting life where I do interesting things that tear me away from this computer screen. Ha! As if. I’ve been watching a lot of films for my film major final exam and I’m always happy to rediscover how good the classics are. The Apartment is absolutely a masterpiece. It’s amazing to me how good the dialogue is and how the jokes just keep coming. Wilder was so good at creating character out of dialogue that it astounds me. Anyone who says character is only created in reaction to conflict needs to watch this movie. Although dialogue is never pointless, Wilder surely loves to linger in conversations. Plus, any person whose heart doesn’t swell when Fran tells Baxter to shut up and deal just doesn’t have a heart.
I’ve also been applying to a lot of jobs via linkedin. Its the lazy man’s way, sure, but it’s the best I’ve got at the moment. I’m still fixing up the thesis to send to festivals, but that’s slow coming these days. Well, that’s my quick update for this week. Between tons of cooking and baking and watching the films, I haven’t had much time to do anything else. Besides, it’s been snowing outside for the past two days.
Stay Warm,
Austin
