Oh gods. American Beauty is also on the Internet Archive. Now there's a prize candidate for self-harm theater. Shallow, sick, manipulative—when it won a pile of Oscars I couldn't fucking believe it.
By the way, one of my SDSU Classics professors watched Stanley Kubrick's Lolita with a few of his students, including myself of course, back when I was in school. I earnestly hope that Prof. Genovese wasn't secretly confessing something about himself to us.
