"Movie Gorged" by Cinekin

When I was probably to young and too sheltered to understand it, a friend of mine introduced me to the Kubrick masterpiece and cult jewel, ‘A Clockwork Orange’
. As those of you who have seen it and/or read the novel of the same name upon which it was based might guess, it had – shall we say – an impact. I became rather obsessed with the work in all its incarnations. Some years later, I came upon the American version of the book and read it. I then saw the stage adaptation at Steppenwolf Theatre. I dressed up as Alex for Halloween during my senior year of high school (I attended a Catholic all-boys school, mind you). In my first year of college, I found the British version of the novel with the final chapter that was cut from the American publication. I have written philosophy papers using the events of the novel to illustrate my points on the issue of free will. And now, I adapted one of the film’s most haunting images as a cutsied illustration for our Facebook App. My most sincere ‘appypolylogies’ to Mr. Kubrick and Mr. Burgess for what may be deemed a (poor?) parody of their triumphant works.
