There’s a scene in The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay where K&C are attending a rather swank & artsy party in New York and Salvador Dali is wearing a full deep sea diving suit, complete with bronze bell helmet and diesel powered generator to run the air pump.
There was a lot of discussion at the party about what he was trying to say with his display.
There’s no doubt in my mind what he was expressing.
my love for you grows a lil bit each day.
COMMENT:
it’s just too bad he almost dies because of it.
meh. so i’ve got a thing for knives. so does angelina. nobody gives her a hard time.
not while she’s holding the knives, no…
My favourite prof ever told me about his Master’s thesis… the class of graduates had to stand at the front of a huge hall and do a 2 hour lecture about a specific school of literary and/or artistic thought; and show how they reflected societal change.
My prof, always being the rebel (he’s a young guy, too… he went for his Master’s in ’96), didn’t plan anything at all. Instead, he got drunk an hour before he was up, put on scuba gear, and proceeded to give a muffled lecture about Dali and the existentialists… the result was that no one could understand him, obviously… and yet he made an impact on the class.
Carl Grindley is the shizzazz. He got an A-.
er, lost at the knives.
I no longer understand this discussion.
…kinda like an infomercial.
“Call now and receive free knives with your purchase!”
Something about rubber suits… metaphors… The knives were a late bonus addition.
and “football phone” is a metaphor for…?
I have always preferred the football phone to the knives.
its all about the heterosexual male further exerting his dominance over the home. By getting a football phone, the man is invading the sacred shrine of telephoneness.
Or the metaphor is just completely lost, and someone is having too much fun with infomercials ;)
I think the phone looks NEAT!
;)
Neat? NEAT?! You’re so gay. Go make me a sammich, bitch. Ahm try’na watch duh game!
Sorry!
