Surrealism - the last refuge of an inept artist

Many surrealists are simply people who could not make it in other fields. Be it paintings or movies - same difference.

For instance, when the shackles were taken off the Soviet art in the late eighties, everyone and his brother in law started doing "surrealist" paintings. They were far easier to paint and much easier to sell.

So any time I hear that word I cringe and run for cover. In 9,78 cases out of 10 it is just the cover for trash.

And Lynch? Bleah! Hardly a good recommendation.

Russian surrealism run amok. I don't watch Russian crap everyday because it isn't available. Plus, I won't be ordering the disk. It was a one-time fling with Aiya and Mirra.

- "Mr Boyar, you liked "Hard To Be A God"" Hmmmmm... where did you get THAT? - Victor Khomenko 10:48:32 11/01/16 (0)
  I think you simply MUST order the disk, and not just one, but at least two, send one to Patrick, he is still recovering from the pepper vodka I brought him. :)
