Of course the world always seems a bit empty after you've just been double penetrated.

Plagiarized Ligotti

Well, DP has an authenticity to it...

lel there's a difference between plagiarism and being influenced. I bet the guy who made the show would readily admit to reading ligotti, chambers, castaneda, etc. for inspiration

Found the feminist... What's trending this week? Green pubes or orange upper lip hair...

Nah.
Ripping off someone else's work nearly word-for-word and not giving him credit (not even saying something like "according to Ligotti") is plagiarism. Remember Zizek's plagiarism scandal? That's because he didn't give the guy credit.

Don't give credit? Plagiarism

In the first scene in his apartment there's a whole pile of books that the camera lingers in for a good se ond or two. They are mostly books on criminal psychology, providing you with a MAJOR HINT that Rust is a bit of a fucking dilettante.

As to the charges of plagiarism in this thread: The above might also clue you in as to what is possibly going on with Rust in his monologues.

In any case, Pizzaman has stated publicly and repeatedly that Ligotti and others were huge influences on TD. In the same way that Eliot half-expected his readers to recognize the lines he was lifting directly from Works and Days, you are half-expected to recognize Pizza's own source material.

There are no footnotes in television, you fucking retards.

Any other books on anthropology and symbols?

>>6917866
Metapatterns - Volk

Has nothing to do with anthropology though

Am I the only one impressed by how quick he pounded out that pussy?

>>6916670
Did no one listen to the Radiolab episode about the show being heavily influenced by Eugene Thacker's book "In the Dust of This Planet"?

Anyone have rec for Books like True Detective? i know the Red Dragon of Thomas Harris. I need more.

What books did he read /a/?

>>6917985
He literally tells you what books he reads.

>>6918059
Not all of them.

>>6916637
Was that ellipsis necessary at all?

Haha, see what I did? Can I hang out with the cool guys now?

The show is false advertising. I want cheap lowbrow schlock with no pontification.

>>6916154
Murder manuals.

Lots of Schopenhauer.

Rust: "You're pretty dumb, Marty."
Mart: "YEAH WELL AT LEAST IM NOT BEATIN OFF TO THEM MURDER MANUALS YOU GOT LIVIN ALONE IN THAT EMPTY.. THAT EMPTY APARTMENT YOU GOT RUST."
Rust: "..."
Marty: "ANSWER ME RUST"

>>6919472
Schopenhauer isn't quite edgy enough, actually.
Rust is far more influenced by obscure "real pessimist/nihilist" philosophers.
