there's a whole crowd of people embracing this because star power has this incredible force. like people who never attend musicals are being swayed to this, it baffles me. i can't stop it. not to mention the animal aspect. it's just no fun to me because it spoils the trash culture aspect and if anything enhances the idea of the mainstream as the lamestream

Tom Hooper goes full cringewave -- hell yeah!
It will be absurd, and that's already more than you can say for King's Speech or Les Mis.

Am I weird for thinking "I wish there was a movie with that"?

I mean, I really do. People are freaking out over Cats, and I'm here thinking about Horses.

Do they just not show their exposed cat buttholes to keep the trailer G-rated or are there actually no exposed cat buttholes in this film???

THAT SHOT OF THEM GOING DOWN THE STAIRS

Are these cats mouse-sized? If I saw one scurrying across the kitchen floor, I would absolutely stomp on it.

to me it looks immensely better than Star Wars. just, way superior. but i'm also uncertain how this will land for me, if when and how i'll end up seeing it. could be a cool day at the theater but i don't know if that'll happen for me

I saw the trailer on the big screen recently, and it literally almost drove me into the lobby to avoid the cringe.   And I can't wrap my head around spending $300M (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/21/film-trailer-cats-ts-eliot) on this...

Well, this might just change everything for me!

Quote
In a behind-the-scenes video, director Tom Hooper said the team behind the film used "digital fur technology to create the most perfect covering of fur."  "These are people, but they're cats," Corden helpfully and accurately explains in that video.

EDIT: (This made me LOL even more:)

Quote...Bong Joon-Ho may have a point regarding movie costumes. The "Parasite" writer-director recently revealed why he could never direct a Marvel movie: "I can't stand people wearing tightfitting clothes," he told Variety.

"I'll never wear something like that, and just seeing someone in tight clothes is mentally difficult. I don't know where to look, and I feel suffocated," he said.

That Bong quote is amazing. I think I feel the same way.

I don't think I'll enjoy it per se, but at the very least it will be a weird experience. How often do we see a big-budget studio film that feels like a bizarre, baffling fever dream? I'm here for it.

Universal Notifies Theaters 'Cats' Is Being Updated With "Improved Visual Effects"
The move is unheard of for a finished film already in release.

Quote
On Friday — the movie's opening day — Universal notified thousands of theaters they will be receiving an updated version of Tom Hooper's troubled film with "some improved visual effects," according to a copy of the memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

The move is unheard of for a finished title already in release, according to cinema operators and Hollywood studio executives. Insiders say it is being done at Hooper's request.

QuoteHooper has been upfront about the fact that he barely finished the CGI-heavy Cats in time for the Dec. 16 world premiere in New York City, and subsequently wanted to make more tweaks to certain effects, according to sources.

it was too ruined by observers for me to see it yet, but by far all my favorite reactions have been positive reactions. and i do think there is some outside sense that, oh, perhaps we were too hard on what is just a movie
