A breeze is stirring across the land … am dedicating this one to Mandy for her selfless contribution to Rob’s fandom.

Rob’s performance as Salvador Dali is honestly mesmerising from start to finish. It takes rare talent to deliver this kind of character development on screen in such a short amount of time. *beams*

Aah Little Ashes … a truly magical experience, so potent; this heart wrenching tale leaves me breathless with a warmed soul every time. I realised that trying to screen cap this beauty does not really capture the way I see or feel it. Each scene and moment is like a story unto itself. So full of life in it’s delivery, the music, the performance, the cinematography – I momentarily felt caps were not good enough.  Thankfully though, Rob’s expressions manage to remedy that. So am hoping you enjoy this montage as much as I loved breaking it down from 700 and something.  That was a bit of a heartbreaking in itself.  Ok alot!

Oh Salvador Dali, with your olive coloured voice.

No order to this thing, just like there is no limit.

p.s.  No wonder Salvador didn’t want to wear the blue.

And there are so so many of those in this beautiful film.  No words I could use are strong enough to describe the feelings & emotions I experience when I watch these moments – they truly take my breath away. I will leave my commentary there & let you all enjoy the brilliance that is Rob as Salvador Dali.

Well I was inspired by our Golden Years theme to provide these “up close” pics of Rob as Dali – I figured they are more “Dalicious” than “cropalicious”  – don’t you agree?  Thanks to our lovely friend Paul Brennan for giving us the original HQs  of these pics.

For those who haven’t had the opportunity to see Little Ashes, you might not want to watch this, since it is definitely a spoiler.  I have to admit that this week’s Golden Years has been the toughest so far for me to pick a favourite scene.  If I’m being honest my real choice is from the moments the introductory credits start rolling to the beginning of the end credits.   However, since Michelle and Vertigo wouldn’t let me breach copyright by putting the entire movie on the site (you know I’m capable hahaha) I had to choose the scene that, for me, is the most powerful.  THIS choice is that for me.  I know we all love Rob’s performance as Tyler, but when I see Tyler I still see Rob, when I see Dali I see Dali – if  that makes sense.  I am heartbroken whenever I watch it – and believe me I’ve seen it plenty and although I know what’s coming, the performance, the music, did I say the performance, just leaves me speechless and blubbering (ok I don’t usually admit that in public) every single time.  Rob’s performance is spectacular – to the haters out there who only see him as the “Twilight guy” and refuse to acknowledge this performance I have two words –  “Tall Poppy Syndrome*.  Rob your performance as Toby had me hooked, but it is your performance as Dali that confirmed for me that you truly have an amazing career ahead of you.  As I have said countless times and in the words of Dali “bravo bravo superb superb” – viva la revolution!

I am very excited to say that in August, Little Ashes is going to be screened on the FOXTEL/AUSTAR Channel Showcase (403).  The film will debut on the channel on Monday 9th August at 3.30 pm & then be screened on the 13th, 17th, 21st, 29th & 30th of the month.  The film will also be screening on Showcase two (404), so make sure you check your guides for all the times.  I just absolutely adore Rob as Dali & this beautiful film & I know you all feel the same.  So great to see it is being screened on our TV’s here in Australia.  I will definitely be watching.   Thanks so much to Linda for the tip.

What better way to brighten our afternoon than with some gorgeous random faves.  I know I especially need to see them after the long day I’ve had today.  Vertigo, these are also especially for you.
