Look, when somebody thinks you're pranking them by talking about the classic Jacques Tourneur and Val Lewton team-up film of Cat People then we have a problem here and all of you seriously need an education in classic film-making.

Next thing you know, you'll tell me you don't know what King Kong or stop motion is!

So this week I will have a seminar in lieu of my regular motivational speaking engagements to educate all imPorts on film history and why you should watch the classics.

Be there or remain completely naive and oblivious to a world of wonderment, joy and terror!

Is this really the best use of your time?

It very much is so.

A life without entertainment is a lonely one.

[He's speaking from personal experience. It was his only escape as a child, so he's passionate about it now.]

You need to appreciate all of it and not neglect the classics.

[dauntless_son]

This is under the assumption that people don't know how to entertain themselves? Or can't decide for themselves what they like and what they don't?

While I'm well aware of what an education in the classics provide, it's not for everyone.

[So...]

I don't know know what King Kong or stop motion is, actually.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[Heavy sighs.]

Then come to my talk.

[notyuvan]

[She slept for 2,000-ish years, give her a break.]

Is it really that bad?

[ Hello, you've pinged one of Knock Out's interests. ]

Is your talk going to be recorded?

[mysterioisthetruth]

Can you not make it to the actual event?

[redcosmedic]

Unless you're holding it outside in January, your venue probably can't accommodate.

A movie called Cat People exists?

[Knowing Anders, he's picturing something quite different than what the movie is actually about.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Yes, of course. At least two, actually, a remake as well as a sequel. However, I am going to focus on the 1942 original.

I haven't watched many movies since I got here. I may have to attend, if you're going to talk about such a movie.

[bifroster]

Oh, thank god someone is.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You know what Cat People is, don't you?

[bifroster]

I saw a poster and I want to unsee it.

[She groans.]

The commercials showing the Broadway production was bad enough.

I like the dark. It's friendly.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Finally! Somebody with some taste in films.

[catlady]

I have great taste in films, thank you very much. Problem here is you're talking about a movie from 1942 that, frankly, I'm surprised exists in more than one earth. Makes it a little more difficult to find the kind of film nerds you're seeking.

haven't seen it

definitely won't watch it if it bugs you that much

[mysterioisthetruth]

You should never let stubbornness keep you from the classics.

[threeisapattern]

it's really just spite

what's so great about it anyway

[sassydadfriend]

That is one way to spend your time, I suppose.

[mysterioisthetruth]

This is important.

[storyseeker]

Have you looked into this world's version of film history? Some of those movies might not exist here.

[mysterioisthetruth]

That's irrelevant. I can still talk about the importance of them, even if they only exist in my own world.
