Still looking for a couple of rolls to finish off this chase sequence!

And as always, drop that cause of death or kill flavor if you dropped a body this round

[Youtube Video Essayist Clip]

"There is a scene in TABBY OF THE NIGHT that I cannot stop thinking about. It starts like this: its a dark and stormy night, and even though our villain protagonist, the cat, is a killing machine, it is still... a cat. So we see this weird little mutant cowering under a car in a heavy downpour in the rain. The cat actor looks genuinely distressed and dreached and it's this moment of sudden extreme sympathy for this thing that, up to this point, we had only ever seen as a monster. Apparently, when the storms come, it's just a little kitty, scared and looking for warmth.

And then there is a pan to the sky and the rain coming down, and we see a much younger and smaller kitten, also hiding from a storm. Now, before I show you this clip, again, this is an extremely low budget production all shot in the director's neighborhood with whoever was available. So you can't laugh, okay? You can't laugh when you see this scene. Because it's sad, okay?! Hear me out."

[The screen shows a sopping wet stuffed kitten that probably came from a quarter gum ball machine. There is a small plastic dinosaur tail hot glued to it.]

"Stop laughing! This isn't funny! It's sad! It's so sad! Like, the pathos of it! God!

So, we see this shadow cross over our protagonist, and there is a moment of relief, like maybe this will be a moment of kindness and warmth for this wretched little thing. But we also know: if someone ever had saved it, they didn't Stop this. Maybe they Couldn't stop this. Maybe this was inevitable.

And that seems to be confirmed. When the figure offers a hand and cooing, only to stop, and shout something about the evil that is here. We see the props, the cards in his hands. A fortuneteller. This man has seen what we have seen to this point. Maybe he's even seen the ending that we have yet to see.

This man knows that something is very, very wrong with this cat. And as he screams, we zoom in. (Shut up about the doll, it's fine, its art. It's art.) And we see this sad looking animal, so sopping wet and scared and now someone is yelling at it, and your heart just fills with this pity. It's just a little guy!

And we understand when this tiny little thing bites the guy's steel toed shoes and he just falls over dead that something changed here, it's like he set the fates he saw into action.

Now, there's some who say that the cat is poisonous? venomous? I have no idea... but I think it doesn't really matter. I think we know the cat killed him like that because... that's what the cat does. It just kills things. It was never given another option. And we can either root against it, or root for it, but no matter what, the cat is just going to keep destroying, even when it doesn't make sense.

It's a pretty obvious parallel to late stage capitali--
