Why was this up against Star Wars?!?!

I mean I’m glad it is. It feels like a weird refutation if how safe, boring, unimaginative it is. It feels like an almost deliberate antithesis to Star Wars and I’m glad it’s here to not just numb the disappointed bored one of Star Wars, but make me not even care. gently caress Star Wars, I wanna be loving Skimbleshanks and have a train and dance and see weird, sincere, even bad movies.

It was a counterprogramming move and to be honest if Cats werent so deliriously offputting it probably could have pulled in a decent opening weekend then counted on weirdos to keep watching it week after week

Edit: Watch the skimbleshanks youtube posted above its great

Corden does not work in this. Even Rebel Wilson’s bit is wide eyed terror and she does her best bless her heart, but the whole Bustopher Jones bit is impossibly bad even by this movies standards and I hate James Corden so it’s deeply unpleasant. It’s where Hooper is at his worst and I love how he’s a loving know nothing, absolute poo poo of a director, but he made this. He sure did.

But yeah the Corden segment is the only element of CATS I truly hate and wish was not in the film.

I’m sure you mentioning this, and the subsequent image of a fat sweating furry hitting pause on the dvd so he can jerk it to TayTay’s ‘delicious furry toe-beans’, is the opening of the seventh seal.

Most difficult part of the movie was close ups whenever Grizibella was around -- was difficult to watch. Like they'd just zoom in on cat Jennifer Hudson's face for a good 30 seconds without cutting. They did this 3 times throughout the movie. Each time I felt more like I was trapped and gave me legit anxiety

Favorite part was whatever ian mckellan said on the macavity boat after rebel Wilson clipped through the plank. Whole theater cracked up for a good 30 seconds -- this was a matinee showing with families and serious people which made it more beautiful -- I feel like Ian Mckellans acting was some perverted attempt at a sun downing cat because wtf else was that supposed to be

Still don’t get Tom Hooper’s obsession with using a single close-up shot for songs. Does he think that makes them more dramatic?

Valleyant posted:

What I don't get is that train cat's song was about how kickin' rad it is to be him, so why does he want to die/be reborn/go back to kansas

I like that half the cats’ songs are “hey, I’m so cool and I love life, therefore I should die” and the other half are “I’m miserable and old and that’s why I should die”

I was a bit high and tipsy toward the end, so I don't know if it was just me, but did the frame rate seem to get really weird during the "fight scene" on the boat? Like, things seemed to slow down, but not enough for it to have been an attempt at a stylish slow-mo combat.

Does anyone know what actually changed with the VFX patch? My guess, given the very quick turnaround, is that they only fixed some of the major botched shots like the clipping and fur-less human hands.

seeing that Tom Hooper has won multiple Major Awards, now is the time that I would like to tell him that: he can chuck all his medals and all his caps and all his pots and all his pans into the biggest loving dustbin he can find. Because he hasn’t won any of them FAIRLY.

The audio mix just wasn't very good; Memory is this big show stopper that just sounded so flat.

On top of that, I saw it in a kinda dumpy theater that has kinda muffled audio for most films.

Those factors, piled on with the fact that there's just so much weird made-up terminology, made the whole thing feel like a foreign language film, so the whole thing was a total mindfuck. I understood maybe one out of every ten words. Sounded like The Sims language.

I'm so, so glad I saw this hosed up movie.
