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!

[ficcion]

How do you know you're real?

How do you know that someone else didn't write you, paint you, dream you? How do you know you're not just a figment of someone else's imagination? A fictional thing.

And most importantly, would it matter to you? To be as such? Or to know that other is as such? Would it change the way you think of yourself or someone else? Can you truly be more than whatever someone else thought you up to be?

Are we really ever free?

[He is a grim sight - though he has always been slight and small compared to his fellow cultivators, Meng Yao is usually well-groomed and in one piece. His robes, however, are covered in blood and there is a stump where his arm used to be. Additionally his lips are tinged with blood, hinting that, recently, he had a wound elsewhere too. What an abysmal day.]

I do not know who I am addressing. [That aggravates him further. For a man who had his fingers in so many pies, not knowing what comes next or where he has traveled nags at him. He inclines his head nonetheless, looking put out.] I am...

Meng Yao. [The Jin sect will relinquish any ties to him. There can be no doubt about that.] As you can see, I require medical attention.

[Yet his life isn't in danger and that is the most shocking part of it all.]

I will heal; I know this wound looks grave, but I am not a normal man. [Wouldn't his life be easier if he was?] Please give me directions to the nearest healer.

[ right, okay. ]

Lets say you've been dating someone for a year. Well, nearly a year. It's coming up -- soon, next month as a matter of fact. And you want to do something special. I don't just mean a nice dinner because we can do that any time. We have, actually.

What would you do?
