Went to the movies tonight to see that new prequel to "Twilight" called...
..."Little Ashes" have you kids seen it yet?

Just kidding!
It's about Dali, and I told a guy that tonight and he said, "Oh, I love Dolly Parton."
It's also about Federico García Lorca and Luis Buñuel, as well.
It was the last night it was playing and I wanted to support the film, so I went as did several Robert Patterson Fan Club girls, who were bored out of their empty skulls until he got nude. Then they freaked when they found he got nude to have sex with a man.
I went through a deep Salvador Dali and Luis Buñuel phase a few years back seeing and reading everything I could about them. So that's why I went. I enjoyed the movie. I love that time period, old Madrid and stories of the avant-garde.
At the end of the film, in the closing credits it says, "No Animals were harmed in the Film" but they are forgetting the cow that gets it's eye sliced open in "Un Chien Andalou" which appears in the movie.
But I understand what they mean. I just thought it was funny.

Salvador Dali and Luis Buñuel didn't have this book when they made that film, but you can, and who knows what kind of revolution you will start once you read it!
