Hey Gil, I saw Twilight three days ago, and was, unfortunately, not smitten.

However, I look forward to this film.  Dali has often been portrayed as a caricature of himself.   Perhaps this film, with Bunuel and Lorca, will show a different side. 

You weren't mesmerized by Edward's intense smoldering stares?!   :laugh:
What about that scene in Science class where he is so overwhelmed by Bella's scent that he has to run out of class or else throw up, lol!  It's so romantic!  :laugh:

Why do the Cullens even go to school anyway?  They certainly don't look 17 so they could easily get away with holding down jobs (or not) instead of going through highschool over and over again.  I also don't like that this species of vampire isn't harmed by the sun's rays.  The only reason they avoid the sun is because it reveals their ridiculous glittering complexions.  :P  I know, I know, don't THINK!  It's a liability in this case..

I have a feeling we could go way off-topic.  Maybe you could start a Twilight discussion in your blog?  Or here?  Is there one already?

'Course not. 



Once smitten, twice shy.

Anyone knows why this title: Little Ashes?

From Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ashes

Title
The movie title is taken from Salvador Dalí's 1927-28 painting Cenicitas (Little Ashes). It was originally called The Birth of Venus, before being changed to Sterile Efforts and then finally Cenicitas. It was first displayed on 20 March 1929 in a Madrid exhibition. It was again displayed in his first solo exhibition in Paris in June 1931. The painting is currently in the Dalí collection of the Queen Sofia Art Centre in Madrid.

that Dali mustache on Pattison looks terrible.

And I don't think he looks like Dali at all.
