Humbert Humbert

Photobucket

"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta."

TiVo destroyed Cabaret, so instead I'm watching Lolita (again). Besides the film's evocative undertones, style, and lead, Kubrik's rendition of Nabokov's dirty read wows me to no end. Looks like its time for me to breakdown and buy it on DVD.
