There's a really cool play about how (the retelling of) an episode of The Simpsons becomes a mythic text after the apocalypse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Burns,_a_Post-Electric_Play Anyway, since the apocalypse is probably on the horizon, I think it would be kinda cool if we manage to recover CATS for the next generation of humans or octopus people or whatever comes after the deluge.

Friends Are Evil posted:It’s amazing to see the journey people in the thread have taken to unironically liking Cats, it’s beautiful gently caress yes but only if they keep CB in the thing, because I don't want to see any Starlight Express unless there's an adorable little sweetheart caboose who turns out to be a gleeful murderer. What's even the point of the versions without him.

Well, it's a combinations of the four things goons love the most: catchy tunes, high chances of injury, bad ideas that are inexplicably popular, and trains.

Just noticed that our Skimbleshanks is placed at the very bottom of the pile in the 1998 CATS orgy scene, forming a platform for the others

Having watched this again, the Skimbleshanks sequence seems like it comes from a different director or something. Horrifying and unintentionally funny moments aside, a huge amount of Cats is just dull, with Hooper's clumsy direction stifling the whole damned thing. Oh wow another close up, oh wow another weirdly framed shot hiding something that should be the focus, oh another close up, oh hey a weird mid-action edit, this poo poo is so bo- SKIM BLE SHANKS THE RAIL WAY CAT Hits you like a motherfuckin' slap to the face. The entire sequence is so vibrant and energetic compared to the rest of the movie, and has actual choreography and almost decent cinematography and it's so refreshing it's honestly the only thing that got me through Catswatch 2.0. Like, weird scale issues aside, the part where he's leading them in a dance across the railway lines has an actual joy to it, whereas the rest of the film seems so perfunctory, y'know? It's like Baz Luhrmann got into the editing suite for five minutes or something. Anyway. Yeah.

it's my birthday next week and i'm insisting that i watch cats to my friends, and they are grudgingly agreeing because it's my Special Day. unfortunately it looks like all of the theaters have already stopped showing cats.

I saw it a second time this weekend a bit mad that they step on the end of SKIM BLE SHANKS THE RAIL WAY CAT by rolling immediately into his disappearance. there was no paws for the applause that performance deserves!
