Thanks! I didn't, and honestly though I've only read it once, I didn't like The Waste Land -- I found it, hehe, impenetrable. But with your note, I'll probably give it that second chance I meant to give it five years from now, maybe with an exegesis on the side. As for the film, this really only depicts the imagined aftermath, so most of the images (sangria and the last two stanzas, I think, are the only images I directly copypasted, aside from the general plot) are invented, so yeah.
And as for tallow: really? Well, I don't use it, but I was thinking that scene in The Holy Mountain where the thief eats a tallow (I think -- maybe wax, but to me that's kinda more disgusting) copy of his face -- well, not really thinking, but quasi-remembering, since the image in the poem is sort of an amalgam of that scene and a dream I just had at the time of writing where I lost my penis and only my penis but everyone kept thinking I was a woman --- and now I think I'm being indulgent. That is to say, does it matter? But again, thanks!
