7. first time I've seen it....

it's amazing how hateful that image is.

8. I think that's the point ...

and the reason Luckovich chose to use it.

But without showing the picture, most people would not get the reference.

10. I think your right...

on both counts (I sure didn't get it), but lord what hateful image.

9. Yeah. I thought so too, at first. But, I wanted context for Luckovich and...

...I want to fight what it represents.



Here's the original from Allen Jones in 1969. The guy turned down Kubrick who wanted the look for the Korova Milkbar in "Clockwork Orange."

Didn't mean to be fucking inconsiderate.
