Eisenstein never behaved like this!
However, don't say we didn't warn you. The afternoon's big shoot, involving a budget of nearly fifteen quid, and a cast of, ummm nine, a crew of five, three cars, and a small boy on a unicycle went off reasonably without a hitch.
Well it didn't in fact; there were lots of hitches. Traffic was terrible so we were late, the leading lady's hair got wet and went all curly.
Our stunt driver, who shall not be named, forgot to look in the mirror before braking, nearly causing an accident.
Various inhabitants of the village looked a little bemused, but we basically got away with shooting a cast (mostly underage) on the Queen's Highway with no insurance, an unlicensed crew, and no permission.
Now Jon's T-Shirt begins to make sense. You all knew he was fat, but did you know that F.A.T stood for `Fortean Art Terrorist`?

I don't know whether Eisenstein made any films about cryptozoology, but he did make a film about hordes of Medieval German religious fanatics who wore strange things on their heads fighting another horde of Russians on a frozen lake. Not a bad film. Prokofiev wrote the score. Not a bad film.
ReplyDeleteIf only Eisenstein had thought of doing one on alien big cats...
Then it would be "Aleksandr Nevsky and the Big cats."
