Episode 30 of Revolutionary Girl Utena came out in October 1997. It's unlikely one of these inspired the other. No. It's worse. This is the strength of a shared language of boundary violation.

I was going to respond, but I took a look at the comments. nothing but grown men praising it. I, too, loved The Professional, until I watched it when I was in my early 20s and I caught the Lolita references. gross.

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is arguably the greatest piece of dissident literature from the communist bloc. The movie is bad. "Reading Lolita in Teheran" is the best Iranian dissident novel. The movie is mediocre.

neutral · AI labelView post →Judging from the level of literacy we're seeing in his emails, I have trouble believing Epstein read Lolita at all--like, even three chapters. I'm guessing he saw the Peter Sellers movie and read a few quotes and convinced himself that he'd basically read the book that way.

neutral · AI labelView post →Blue Velvet, Bound, and Angel Guts would be bad film without sex. Cities of the Interior, Hell House, and Lolita would be bad literature without sex. It's that simple. Bad writers and bad filmmakers are to blame. Sex is human. It is as unavoidable and animal as art.

The makers of THE CRUSH (1993) were accused of exploiting the real-life Amy Fisher case, who was on trial for shooting her lover's wife at the same time the movie was being shot (the press dubbed her 'The Long Island Lolita'). The film got into legal hot water, too.
