James Womack Writes: Peter Jackson (most recently the director of Lord of the Rings) made early on in his career a tongue-in-cheek horror film called Braindead, set in New Zealand in 1957. Late on in this film, as a character (nameless, he is a guest at a party) is being pinned to a sofa by a flesh-eating zombie, he yelps in fear, "I'm sorry I called Nabokov a pedophile!" A little later, when it looks as if the humans are finally getting the upper hand over the zombies, the same guest stands up, brushes himself off, and says, "Hah! some of my best friends are pedophiles!" He is then promptly munched. Justice of a kind, I suppose.
