I didn't see every movie with the word Lays in it.

Because i'm curious about Kubrick's thinking as he was preparing
Lolita and his thinking about EWS and A I., Sex Kittens, in the
Monarch, butterfly collecting sense. Because Hollywood moguls taking
innocent youth/girls and turning them into box office gold and
screwing up their heads and lives. And because I had a Kubrick Eureka
moment after seeing Sex Kittens go to College for the first time and
Lolita for the 80th or so time the other night, after reading one to
many Kubrick wrong theories. Because I think Kubrick was the
greatest filmmaker and I like to understand his art. Because it's
fun? Because it's better to have eyes wide open about reality even
when the mundane world was always of little importance. Because of
creative impulse.
And because of coincidences in my own life pertaining to the 60's,
when I was a teen and early 20's various themes and growing up in
Hollywood, Laurel Canyon, The Valley and Beverly Hills. Because of my
first ex wife who's best friend as a kid was Porty Mason when Lolita
was in Production. Because of witnessing really really rich dumb
people from the old country. When uneducated peasants are multi
millionaires and own Banks and Drug Stores and city blocks in BH it
makes you wonder where the money came from When you keep finding a
"controlled area" in the hills on lookout mountain. It makes the eyes
start to open about the deviated preverts. Because my sisters were
molested by 2nd tier singing cowboy, who had far more money then he
should have. Because John Wayne. Because I saw Hitchcock every day
at lunch time and I never told him he was my hero. I dunno. When
people are raving they were molested and no one believes them and
assumes they are just insane or lying. Because Sharon Tate picked me
up when I was hitch hiking up Benedict Canyon. Because, my friends
dscovered the body of Hinman. Because a Buddhist friend's father (a
producer and his daughter) had introduced Kubrick to a Buddhist sect I
was part of. The same sect Clarke mentions regarding the monolith.
Because I finally realized that really strange chic on PCH that took
me to her grand parents under ground parking structure was a notorious
Manson girl. When you realize were you were when first were handed a
glass vial with a blue liquid and later find out were it really came
from.
And for going through these things and rubbing shoulders with lunatics
and never being sucked in and being karmically immune to it. Always
being at the right place at the right time and being oblivious about
how I was cosmically protected, even when naive and stupid and
blundering.
It's like when you find out most everyone is reallly dumber and more
corrupt then you ever wanted to believe. And art is the thing. When
you do penance in the backwards of hell and emerge renewed.

And being a Sexpot, Starlett. And surviving her mother and her
programming since age 9.

If she imploded maybe, considering the pressure.

Pure and chaste from afar. She would have been arrested i was 15.
Natalie Wood was my first love. Then Jean Simmons. Then Jane
Fonda. Tuesday Weld, Ann Margeret, All of them shoud have been
arrested for exciting barely pubescent minors.
