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.

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...
