...universal judgment on Salvador Dali was that he had outlived himself. The Surrealist work he did from 1929 to 1939 was brilliant and durable. After that came decades of repetition and kitsch, the years of his collaborations with Walt Disney-- never completed--and his magazine ads for Elsa Schiaparelli lipstick. It didn't help that from early on he was art's state-of-the-art goofball, the guy who would show up in public in a deep-sea diving suit or a Rolls- Royce filled with cauliflowers. Then came the Spanish Civil War. When it was over Picasso refused...
...These specs of grime are perfect gathering places for the CO2 molecules. (Champagne, concedes Liger-Belair, is "a symbol full of contradictions.") He does, however, offer a science-based tip for tipplers: Don't eat peanuts or wear lipstick. The fat molecules in greasy snacks and lip glosses stretch and break the bubble walls, taking the fizz out of the entire experience. And while you may get no kick from knowing that champagne bubbles are caused by dirt in your flute, it's great trivia for pepping up dull party chitchat. Just don't tell your host...

...current U.S. art-house release or just out on DVD. In these fascinating acts of cinematic aggression, which either skirt hard-core or plunge right in, Breillat strips her heroines to the bleeding soul. Anatomy of Hell, Breillat's latest, is notorious for the objects--a rake, a lipstick case, a tampon--used as sexual implements. Across the Channel, Michael Winterbottom (Jude, Welcome to Sarajevo) tries to span the chasm separating serious cinema from hard-core with his new 9 Songs. Here the sex is explicit but tender, less a porn-film workout than a view of two people trying...
...women ever ask that question? Doesn't a melee at the lipstick counter on Sale Day suggest that they too can be madly competitive? Once in a while, isn't the fairer sex horribly unfair to its own? Nichols doesn't think so. "Women's competitiveness with one another was always exaggerated, from the days of Clare Boothe Luce on," he says, referring to her 1936 play (and the 1939 movie) "The Women," which proposed that Manhattan's most privileged females were rolling and roiling in bitchery, gossip and recriminations, all designed to bring other women down. "And when cheese...
