Did you knew that? / Have you watched the first movie?
(If so) How are you doing after a month?
I have returned from the dead cinema. For those who missed the news, I went to see Nosferatu with my mum. Which is discouraged unless your mum is a funny one.
Without further ado, I present the popularly requested What my mum said about Nosferatu:
"There isn't enough of Nosferatu. The director must have run out of money."
"I don't like the crunchy noise he makes when he bites people. It isn't elegant, and he's supposed to be a nobleman." (Cue us joking that it's the sound of Orlok's teeth falling out. Chaotic humour is a family trait, I'm afraid.)
"Does the professor die?" Me: "Noooo, unless Thomas threw him out the window right after the end." Her: "Thomas, lock him in the chapel."
"It's a shame Ellen's friend dies. She has such nice clothes."
*Sailor hammering open Orlok's crate.* "C'mon, he's not at home!"
"Did Thomas get the bag of gold, at least?"
(More Cat Orlok drawings here and here!)
I have two pieces of big news. One good and one I'm having a mild crisis over.
The good, I'm watching Nosferatu at a cinema tomorrow. At last, it's available where I am!
The crisis: my mum wants to watch it with me.
Serves me right for yapping at her about how ✨️artistic✨️ and ✨️unconventional ✨️ the film is. Weeeeeeelp.
i had a dream last night that i was being serenaded by count orlok as a small fluffy cat and i woke up both confused and really amused
then i realized why i had such a dream: YOU (/positive)
In dreams they came!!
Aahh that's adorable, thank you for telling me this, it made me smile!!
All Phantom of the Opera cats here and Nosferatu stuff here!!
Always delightful when my friends throw me under the bus for inspiring unhinged ideas.
Look at him, he's Goth and cool and Eldritch, unlike my silly goober
