Very surrealistic.

Posted by: John Goes on May 16, 2007 5:34 AMWow. Popular TV really has dumbed down so much over the decades.
Posted by: Smithy on May 16, 2007 6:53 AMI have read that Dali was an interesting character in his prime, but that he became a self-caricature in his later years.
This clip shows a somewhat agile Dali. Is he feigning the limits of his English for entertainment purposes?
Dali chose to speak English in a tortured and hystrionic way. A hold over from his days as a Dada-ist. In French or Spanish his manner was more natural.
There is an excellent dvd biography of Dali that really captures his extreme bizarreness from his 'agile' youth to his 'self-caricature' in later years. Lots of primary footage. It's just called "Dali" (1986). You can netflix it.

Posted by: JMW on May 16, 2007 12:55 PMThat he inspired a school of economic thought deserves to be better known.
