NEWS & THOUGHTS: hipster poster art
Date
Body
In the wake of the Lolita doll and lamp, I bring you the movie poster, as
sold by the ultra-hip shop, urban outfitters.

I'm not sure why they redesigned it, especially since Lolita looks older
than a nymphet would be.
The thing that puzzled me the most is the fact that an abridged version of
Lolita exists. Who deemed this necessary and why? Lolita isn't that long,
and I can't figure out what one would want to edit out.

An overcivilized people grow complacent and careless and leave the door open
for a tribe of fanatical savages, through a mixture of luck, treachery, and
the foulest inhumanity, to usurp their place for a few years.
-Richard Adams, "Shardik", 1974
