I'm becoming convinced this is close to reality.

it's both sad and incredible that we've reached a point where one of the world's top popular musicians is almost literally the property of her rich music-industry parents, and most of the contenders for her spot are deliberate attempts to replicate her existence in different aesthetics

Damnit, I knew I was missing something! XD

I'll have to settle with a Kevin MacLeod ambient track and Victoria's theme, both slowed down by a considerable amount.

You really have to admire the psychotic frothing ambition Hooper has to keep making bad musicals based on bizarre wrong ideas and never once falter in his terrible vision.

Edit: There’s no way anything in this movie could be as weird or as bad as letting Russell Crowe ain’t Stars while standing around like an anxious penguin.

Try Judi Dench Cat breaking the fourth wall and singing to you in a nearly seven-minute long extreme closeup

If it weren’t for the studio, half these songs would just be an unbroken shot of a cat’s face

Honesty, I forgot train cat disintegrates into dust

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I have a PSA for you folks about whether or not CATS is the movie for you. Take a second to read the following poem:

quote:

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey—
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter—
But all of them sensible everyday names,
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,
A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum—
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.

If reading that poem has made you laugh hysterically, you may enjoy watching Cats in an ironic way. If, however, reading this poem about the naming of cats has made you want to see Bombalurina, Munkustrap and Coricopat all start writhing and dancing eventually leading to a giant cat orgy, congratulations, you are the exact person who should be going to see this movie, hopefully alone or with a consenting partner.

Seriously i saw exactly the three minutes where this poem was recited and you get the feeling that they were going for some sort of deep spiritual moment but landed exactly where "erotic" and "has no clue how sex actually works" meet.

her and her brother were basically groomed from birth to be pop stars, they're almost comically transparent about it, and it's immensely disturbing to me

i think the only other time in my memory (lol) that something like this has happened is when that dog movie for children accidentally told kids that being groped is something you should just buckle down and ignore, but that was terrible content, this is just like, a Life of Pablo-esque movie update being sent to theaters because the effects weren't actually done when they needed to be (which, to clarify, is not the fault of the visual effects people who should be paid some sort of bonus for hardships endured for having to craft these monsters)

I believe the rumor going around is that Hooper didn’t view and approve the final cut of the film until just last Tuesday, so that email makes sense.
