Dali was odd, but in such a wonderful way -- his Wonderland stuff was amazing...

I think that Ralph and Salvador probably shared the same drug dealer, of the mind.

A collaboration of the two, directed by Terry Gilliam. I'd buy that for a dollar.

And if you like a surrealist take on Alice in Wonderland, you might also like Jan Svankmejer's Alice. It's terrifying.

arrg! I used to have steadman's through the looking glass, but can't find it anymore. This drives me crazy, because it was gorgeous.

Is this where I come to casually mention, as if it wasn't a big deal at all, that I've met Ralph Steadman, chatted to him about poetry and watched home movies of him goofing around with Richard E Grant? If not, please direct me to that thread, because I am very, very proud of myself and have no shame.

Dangit, him, I was trying to nonchalantly pop in and mention how I've touched/held/looked through a signed copy of Dali's Wonderland. It's been one of the highlights of my life so far, especially as I considered running away to Mexico with it. But noo-o-o-o-o, you just had to have the Steadman story.

Alice, as reappropriated/repurposed by Pogo aka Nick Bertke (mp3 here).

were they dressed? Yes. were there ladies present? No. See how these anecdotes get gradually less interesting the more you investigate them? That's a theme in my anecdotage.

The site also has a great 3-part cinematic history of Alice: The first pornographic version, Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy, was released in 1976...
