Oh, I knew you were addressing Mr. Edward. It looks as if it's I, not you, who failed to make himself understood.

I was making a horrendously bad joke by substituting Nosferatu for tu in "et tu, Brute?" As in, you, too, [enjoy performances by that] brute [who played] Nosferatu? I realize that's obscure, but I'm often up all night working when I pause to post here.

I, too, am a fan of Klaus Kinski. That's all I really meant.

The reference to thread disjunction was written in the same giggling mood. No censure or smugness intended.
