Kurbrick always re-worked his source material. It's interesting that this bothered populist Stephen King more than elitist Vladimir Nabokov

It's insanely easy to see why. Kubrick legally had to do it for Lolita and kept it's themes. In The Shining it removed King's themes

Maybe b/c Kubrick & Nabokov have somewhat siimilar sensibility -- cerebral, perversely ironic, keeping emotional distance from the material

Exactly. Both chess players as well. By contrast, King though Kubrick too cold. "It's a warm book but a cold movie" was his complaint.
