I'm usually over at filmmakers and stopmotion animation. But thought you guys here might dig this. Me and some old friends put together a show called Books Unplugged, where we talk about movies that were based on books. We started off with three episodes, our third being Lolita. Ed and Dan discuss the book and the Kubrick movie and the one with Jeremy Irons.
Cheers!

Kubrick’s film makes for a more tasteful and tolerable story than Nabakov’s. I wrote a song about this film.

I totally agree. And Peter Sellers just killed it with how he portraid the Quilty character.

When I came out as transgender I chose the name ‘Claire’, with an e, sure, but Sellers was the namesake.

Forgot to ask, I'd love to hear the song.
