| | The Indiscreet Charms of Luis Buñuel (Luis Bunuel) |
 | | He gained attention, even notoriety, with his first film, An Andalusian Dog, a collaboration with fellow Spaniard Salvador Dalí (commemorated in many places in cyberspace and otherwise; one of my favorite sites in both locales is the museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, dedicated to his work and memory). |
 | | Buñuel, no matter what else he may be doing, is slicing through an empty image, and although he was a self-proclaimed atheist, he may be doing us, who consider ourselves believers, a favor by forcing us to re-think our cherished images. |
 | | My favorite commercial currently is for an insurance company encouraging us to use common sense, a bit of advice it illustrates by people not using common sense. |
