Is seppuku an option? Because I'd rather do that than sit through this.

My least favorite musical by a mile.  I still like the trend of Broadway to film, but not this one.  Nope.

Yea Cats has some great design elements and a few terrific songs but the story is just so fucking meh and that's the musical....I'm quite sure this will suck worse.

Probably the worst three hours of my life was sitting thru Cats at the Wintergarden, and that includes the New Years Day I had the shits at the Miami-Texas Cotton Bowl.

I love fucking  the little fuckers that are cats, and this nails it.  People Men in cat suits are freaky, and not freaky in a good way.

Or it could expand it, if Cats makes it okay for people to openly be furries.   

Only a pussy would like this movie.

"The song from Us"? WTF?!?  That song was slapping 25 years before Us was dreamed up.

Did we really need to see Rebel in a cat outfit?  For fucks sake, Eartha Kitt would look better in it in her current condition than RW does.

She looked like a ham that had been rolled in sawdust

I'm not entirely sure why we have to see Rebel Wilson in any movie.

As to Cats...I'm having weird flashbacks to my childhood when my mom would put the Cats soundtrack on every Saturday morning while we cleaned house.  IIRC, my brothers and I may have gotten dragged to a showing of this play at the State Fair.

A Broadway musical at the fair? Classy

The State Fair has a music hall.

Quote

The Music Hall at Fair Park is a 3,420 seat performing arts facility in Dallas, Texas's Fair Park that opened on October 10, 1925. The building is of Spanish Baroque style with Moorish architectural influences, containing six stair towers capped with cast domes and arcade porches overlooking Fair Park

 

A lot of people hear “a magical feline journey told through song and dance” and immediately think of gays and middle age single women.  What this movie presupposes is “what if they didn’t?”

My parents went to college with Betty Buckley (cockroaches) who originally played the cat that sings Memories (more famous as Abby in Eight is Enough and more recently as the psychiatrist in Split).  So needless to say, the soundtrack got put on repeat in our house when I was 7 or so.  Our cats were named after the cats in the play, too.  Kill me now, now that this movie is coming out.

LOL.  I'm pretty sure I got Betty Buckley's autograph after the showing of Cats per my aforementioned visit to the State Fair.

I come from a family of musicals/plays.  Somehow this gene skipped over me.  My parents, brothers, nieces, and nephews are all musically inclined and can listen to musical soundtracks for days.  I can't stand them.  My mom, btw, was a stage manager at Dallas Summer Musicals for the past 15 or so years before retiring last year.

Not that version.  

It's still the same song unless you're talking about the slowed down part where she fights her doppleganger.

What in the name of acid trips is this fuckery???????    Everything doesn't need to be made

I don't get it...are they people playing real cats?  Or are they people playing people have sorta turned themsevles into cats?  

I decided that the desire to see this movie is a good barometer for me to exclude you from my life.

yeah, if they were gonna go CG they should have just made them real cats.    That shit looks creepy as fuck

 

Shit that shouldn’t be a movie for a thousand, Alex.

same, but Fort Worth.  State Fair was Les Mis

Among other horrible things in that trailer: Hudson’s voice doesn’t fit that song. Sounds like she’s shouting and angry.

The show has some good songs.   But not enough to make a movie.

In the latest twitter outrage, people are enraged that the Nazis who made this movie are whitewashing the black main actress.

https://www.insider.com/cats-movie-criticism-whitewashing-francesca-hayward-2019-7

They're saying that you can barely tell that she's black. The lead actress is Kenyan and in this movie she plays the character Victoria, a white cat.

First of all, can we take a moment to recognize the heroism of the people tweeting this. But I have a solution that should make everyone happy - CGI blackface.
