For "Lolita" of the first part, Sue Lyon is the young temptress and James Mason is the mixed-up but highly libidinous middle-aged professor.
For "Lolita" of the second part, we have "Ex Machina" but, in that modern version, Lolita wasn't a young woman and was instead a robot.
On that basis, "Lolita" of the first part stalls at the gate.
The intrigue in "Lolita" is the guilt over incipient feelings of pedophilia but that won't fly all that far when there isn't a man on the planet who wouldn't bone Sue Lyon if he could get away with it.
That's where I clicked out as I figured the rest of the movie was waiting to see if she would take off her top. We didn't see much potential for pedophilic guilt so we left that for James Mason to explore.
Here's a somewhat more, erm, evolved image of Sue Lyon:
Much better to fall in love with a robot as in "Ex Machina" since that is so seriously twisted. It happens anyway and you know it will as the movie starts to build.
Holy shit, I'm getting kind of attracted to her ... I mean it ... I mean the fucking robot.
(Ed: robot guilt?)
The very same, mate. The endless torment of transistors ... how can I go on.
(Ed: so the only remaining question is whether Sue Lyon was hotter than the robot?)
God help me, it was the robot.
(Ed: but you don't know if Sue Lyon removed her top!)
Doesn't matter, mate. The robot didn't remove her top until close to the end of the movie and by that time it made no difference at all. She was a sultry temptress, I'm tellin' you.
(Ed: Sue Lyon?)
The fookin' robot, mate!
So ... how do you like robots so far ...
