I've heard everybody else except Judi Dench and Idris Elba and... I have doubts (esp given that Dench apparently was in the original cast and had to drop out because of injury???

Judi Dench was the original West End Sally Bowles, although Sally wasn’t necessarily supposed to be a great singer.

They should adapt this into a feature:

why does James Corden's character look like The Penguin

I want to file that under "questions that answer themselves" but it doesn't quite work

the only good and correct take:

I broke down the Cats trailer shot-for-shot. Let's dive into the hot takes that matter: who does Tom Hooper ship, reckless speculation on why Victoria is now in every song, and Old Dencheronomy. CATS. This is it.https://t.co/9L87dAC776

this movie is my Star War

Here's my Cats hot take: they should've done the people dressed as animals thing for the new Lion King and the hyper-realistic animation for the Cats musical

Actually all of the bad meme films should just cross over, I joke one year before they announce they will do this

shhh / let peaceful like things (wins), Friday, 19 July 2019 21:04 (four years ago) link

They tried that—it was called the DCEU

The fun thing about our cinematic is that yours was a layup setup with several punchlines

if the taylor swift musical cgi cat movie is somehow better reviewed than the beyonce musical cgi cat movie then this will truly be the 10th anniversary of the 2009 VMAs

I just don't understand why the cats are not furry? They look like lizards with cat ears and occasionally big sideburns.

Am I the only one when I see this thread title I pretty much always think of Stockard Channing in Six Degrees of Separation?

I always suspect that any movies that get 1 star P Bradshaw maulings must be actually good because he is irredeemably bad.

calzino, Thursday, 19 December 2019 10:51 (four years ago) link

xp Bradshaw wrote his review in verse, which was... not a good idea

really wanna see this even tho the show has like one good song, but it sounds like the tribute that Lloyd Webber - the Coke Years deserves

plus if this does decent business just imagine Starlight Express with a bunch of stars CGI'd into singing trains

Had zero interest in this until all the extreme negative reviews started pouring in

incidentally is it just me or is the left-hand margin borked on this thread?

Has anybody applied a snapchat cat filter to an entire film yet? They should. I'd love to see The Irishman as all cats.

The whole thread has some weird font imposed upon it when viewed in IE.

Lotta reviewers really champing at the bit to use some variant on 'turns out this Cats movie is a real dog!'

Children Devouring Their Cronuts (Old Lunch), Thursday, 19 December 2019 13:11 (four years ago) link

If this is truly some kind of eldritch horror orgy film, I'm sure I'll enjoy it

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 19 December 2019 13:12 (four years ago) link

rogue font and borked margin both caused in may 2002 by N. (aka Alba) posting some now-vanished picture related to the history of beercans

I have two words for the people responsible for Cats: go fish.

I couldn't bear to watch another thirty seconds of this grizzly cinematic massacre. No thanks, Cats!

A humpback whale of a bad time. Blow it out your hole, Cats!

This is IMO a pretty good guide in life, but I'm not sure about this one - I've already arranged to go see Star Wars drunk.

By getting drunk?

Given my workplace's fanaticism for bleeding age tech, I just thank my lucky stars we aren't still using Netscape.

Bleeding edge, bleeding age, it's all the same to me.
