There is a kind of person who doesn't engage much with culture/art, be it high or low brow, and so does not realise that much of our crafted words are quotes, appropriations and remixes of past-art words and phrases. Like aphantasia or lack of inner monologue, it blows my mind.

Oh right, the movie. The books are from the 30s. (I thought there was much too unironic Lovecraft in them to be that recent)
