Here is Hopper investigating a lizard in our backyard. I wonder what this looks like from the lizard's point of view? I figure a cat must seem about ten times the size that an elephant looks to us.
And every once in a while these cat-things pick you up ever so delicately in their teeth and then toss you around. But you always survive. The monsters seem to have no interest in killing you. Very odd.
Why damage the murder simulator props?
....and Hilbert lying calmly in the background is sadly reminiscent of the Kitty Genovese story
Reminds me of a Godzilla movie, only in reverse.
I suspect the appropriate analogy is less "ten times the size of an elephant" and more "living on a volcano, or a seismic zone, or near an avalanche".
Sometimes cosmic forces randomly hit you, sometimes you survive, sometimes you don't...
