Rare Photos of Vladimir Nabokov
“Nabokov writes prose the only way it should be written,” John Updike once wrote. “That is, ecstatically.” In 1959, LIFE Magazine sent photographer Carl Mydans to Ithaca, New York to shoot the Russian-born author, whose magnum opus “Lolita” was breaking sales records across the country. Most of the photos from that series were never published — a handful appeared in LIFE’s international edition — but they offer an unique look into the private life of one of the titans of American literature. To mark the recent publication of Nabokov’s last, unfinished novel “The Original of Laura,” LIFE now presents the unpublished photos from that shoot.

Bottle Rocket (Short): The original 13 minute version of Wes Anderson’s Bottle Rocket, which was shown at Sundance way back when.  This is the one that introduced the world to The Brothers Wilson (or, Owen and Luke at least), the one that James L. Brooks famously saw, and quickly agreed to produce as a feature-length film:

“When I first saw the thirteen-minute video I was dazzled—the language and rhythms of the piece made it clear Wes and Owen were genuine voices. The possession of a real voice is always a marvel, an almost religious thing. When you have one, it not only means you see things from a slightly different perspective than the billions of other ants on the hill, but that you also necessarily possess such equally rare qualities as integrity and humility. It’s part of the package of being a real voice, ’cause when your voice is real, you can’t screw around. The voice must be served; all other exit doors, marked “expediency” or “solid career move,” are sealed over, and the only way out of your inner torment is genuine self-expression.”

So this is, quite literally, where it all began for Wes Anderson.

thedailywhat: Clever ad campaign, to promote Toshiba’s Regza SV LCD TV, London-based ad agency Grey London strapped a bunch of GPS devices and a helium balloon to a red armchair and sent the sucker soaring into the heavens. The brave little living room chair made it to 98,268 feet before falling safely back down to earth. More info can be found here
