Cats! The Movie!

YouTube video

Or otherwise known as the Movie where people in Furry Costumes will be Jerking off...SCARY AF THE MOVIE!

Back in the 80s, i watched the play several times growing up in NYC (great for a date; think South Park BJ episode).
The designs never seemed creepy to me.

If they looked more like costumes I wouldn't mind. This is some weird, uncanny valley shit imo, though.

Read an article where some are upset the lead character has white fur, because the person underneath is black, and you cant tell.

Also that person, a professional ballerina yes, but who has two acting credits (a short, and the Cats movie itself as per IMDB) is being billed as a newcomer (with an ‘and introducing’ credit), and thats...wrong?

Yeah. I thinjk the same thing. I bet this How they Made it Video will be Hilarious. Probably every one will be running around in Gimp Suits like Gollum.

^^^see, -thats- disturbing. boxed2

I just saw an ad for this on YouTube and it looks like the most awful thing I've ever seen. 😂 😂

It's like some kind of Jordan Peele horror movie.

That is the old first trailer. There is more:

Oh Idris Elba...oh no...you didn't....

Morgan Freeman voice: He did

The reviews for this are golden:

It's 1995, I'm 13 years old. My parents started breeding cats. Birmans. Seal point Birmans, to be precise. I would wake and be surrounded by cats and all the cat life entailed. Kitten cats, male cats, female cats. Cat cage, cat shows, cat breeding. Always the breeding, the eternal lifecycle of the cat burned into my retines. The yowling, the prowling, the ****ing.

It's 2010, I'm 28 years old. I hung out with some Furries in Hamilton. Charming folk. I really liked them. Loved Disney movies. Loved My Little Pony. They got turned on by putting on dog suits, cat suits, fox suits. Adults - All yowling, prowling and ****ing.

I'm 37 now, I've just seen Cats the movie. I've never seen the stage show, but I know the songs. I get the gist. Big songs, big numbers. This film is something else. I am 13 again, I am 25 again. I'm at parent's house, hearing cats ****. I'm watching a Furry put on a catsuit. I'm watching Idris Elba, nude, as a cat, his ass is sticking out. I am watching all the cats, legs constantly spread, gyrating, grinding, growling. Yowling, prowling, ****ing.

This is the worst i've ever seen. This is what death feels like. This is a ketamine trip. This is awful. This is not a film, this is chaos. This is the CGI from Scorpion King. I don't know if i'm five minutes in or five hours. Nothing matters anymore. This is the death of all things. **** it.

I have watched both trailers and so far I have no clue what the actual plot is. Just some vague stuff about a cat getting chosen to get a "new life". What does that even mean?

I have no clue what the plot is either and I've, unfortunately, seen the play.

Is it that the cat chosen gets to become human? Are these not *truly* humanoid cats in a cat world or what is going on? I've never seen the play, but the trailers don't even seem coherent. What is the "better life" the chosen cat gets?

They're supposed to just be cats. And they choose one to go to heaven or something... I dunno. It was shit.

Ray Winstone and Judi Dench, too. Damn. I guess paychecks are nice.

It's Taylor Swift, though. So it'll probably be shoved down our throats.

God it looks awful. I mean, I don't like musicals in general, but this is exponentially worse. 😘 puke
