Little kids are such natural trip-finders. It's funny.


Oh!!! Love love love that dusty zombie trip! I really wish I had a promote in my bag. Thank you for pointing me in the direction of it!

Our library had a children's book of Salvador Dali's work, and I really couldn't go past it. The little ones liked the pictures within pictures, and the droopy clocks in "Persistence of memory".

Anyway, not why I dropped by... you might like this:

Thanks, I replaced the videos in the playlist.

The audio on the sixth video in the playlist got yanked. It probably won't be long before it happens to the rest of them. You might as well change it before it goes completely dead.

Unnecessary Fun FACT for random internet learnings: "The Persistence of Memory" is the title of one of the most famous Dali paintings, aka Melting Clocks.

if you knew good job if you didn't you've gained some knowledge. carl sagan might teach you somethin too.

BlueGW, I think you're overlooking the fact that the same mind with the same views and mindset created this film. It's surrealist film, and if you actually study the paintings, you'll recognize a lot of imagery, symbolism, and ideas... the ants, for example, appear in a lot of his work, including two of the most famous paintings, Persistence of Memory and Metamorphosis of Narcissus. These paintings were initially received with the same knee-jerk reaction you're giving here. Further, if you look at Persistence of Memory, you'll find that central to the piece is a "psycho mutilation" of a face.

I saw this on DVD for the first time a few days ago (right after watching Mulholland Drive - yikes) and I'll admit it blew my mind (which, admittedly, was blown already by the previous film.) That said, even in our overwhelmed state, two of my friends quickly commented "my dreams are like this. well, not with the dead horse pianos, but with the completely random nonsensical happenings that seem to make perfect sense."

As for the ants, I think they typically symbolize decay. And the eyeball, I believe they used a cow eye for that shot. I cringe remembering it.
