This is truly bizzare. I just don't think of Dali as being of the era of TV...though of course he was.

This is a remarkably posh TV show. The sort of thing one expects of the BBC of the era, not the US. Germaine as a spoken word? Wow.
Serious?  :huh:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Great. I've lost all Sunday afternoon watching that show on YouTube.

I loved the German counterpart on TV which ran from the 1950s till 1985.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I liked Sean Connery the most.  That voice.

Jesus.  Peter Ustinov and Noel Coward.  Holy shit.  The amount of talent is incredible.

Aye, Captain.  I have two shots of Calvados ready for impending action.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Dalí certainly was in the age of television and he used it pretty well, he was fascinated by technical progress anyway. There's hours of clips from him doing whatever boutade he came up with on the Spanish TV (who pandered him since he was the only world-renowned Spanish artist that wasn't anti-Franco).

Reagan was hilarious.

I don't know who those people are.

Eddie, can you link to the reagan one?

I bet John Wayne could never be on that show. His voice would give him away. And actually, even before he spoke I think the women panelists would be able to sense his remarkable masculinity.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

When I watched Children of Men the other day, I let it play through the credits because I liked the song, and I noticed that Picasso's Guernica is still under copyright, which struck me as asinine until I realized, "Well, of course it is.  It was made in like 1939."  We're not that far removed from them.

It's more than asinine, it's obscene.

They should bring this show back.
