    We just got to the hotel, and my oh my, Humbert Humbert can be so weird sometimes. I don’t even know where to start talking about today! When he first came to pick me up at Camp Q, he seemed, oh I don’t know, different. He was bigger, more powerful, and much much cuter than the little Hummy I remembered. He looked like he had stepped right out of the poster above my bed, with those big hairy arms, his icy blue eyes, and that smile that made my heart flutter. He had seemed to turn into a real life

    Despite being highly experimental, filmmaker David Lynch has had a far-reaching impact on not only films and television, but other forms of art as well, such as music and video games. One of the most well-known directors often cited as being influenced by Lynch is Quentin Tarantino. The most commonly used examples are Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart and this isn't surprising as they portray violent criminals having trivial conversations.

Traces of curiosity and
