Cannibal Holocaust

Maybe Pynchon and Deodato went to college together

Nope.

Pynchon probably saw Cannibal Holocaust, saw they'd quoted him either, intentionally or not, and decided to nod back. Two artists referring to one another is not a pynchonesque conspiracy. The idea behind the quote in Cannibal Holocaust isn't original to Pynchon and the way Pynchon worded it isn't especially novel so it could easily be a case of convergence.

Only once you understand this does Gravity's Rainbow start to make sense. You are on the right track is all I will say...

There are a buttload of literary references in Cannibal Holocaust.

The whole theme is based around Heart of Darkness. White people fucking shit up in the jungle and all that. Projecting their fears onto the natives and ultimately causing the violence itself and all that.

There are passing references to Catholics being cannibals in his books and he is from Long Island. Holocaust means destruction on a massive scale. Maybe something like they are destroying or being destroyed?

Watch the film.

That's a little more involved than referring.

It's just one real artist giving a shout-out back to a not-very-good artist.

I never figured Pinecone to be someone who watches a ton of movies, opting to read a ton of books about things few people, but he probably saw CH

His friends claim he used to spend a ton of time smoking dope and watching TV.

That's a shout out? That's like mailing someone you never met a tape of them saying your name.

great catch, if this is true. 10/10 post, never would have noticed something like that.

I saw it less as white people and more about "if you have the camera--the means of controlling the narrative--you have all the power" type deal.

I found it funny how the things themselves didn't matter, it was who had the film so they could prove they happened. It was an oddly thought provoking film for the other types of films that often come in that shock and gorno genre. Usually they are pure shit but CH was kinda legit.
