"Cats" Scratch Fever

[crowschmo]

Or maybe a fever dream? Okay, that's a horrible name for a thread title, but this looks like a horrible (X infinity) movie. I'm talking about Cats, of course. Has anyone seen the nightmare fuel that is the trailer? What sh*t are these people smoking? What would possess anyone to make or BE IN this movie? *shudder*

The play is immersive, with the actors stalking up and down the aisles, the over-sized sets and such. It's definitely something to be experienced live. It WILL NOT translate well into a movie. There's no dialogue in the play, it's just one little story-telling song after another. There seems to be dialogue in the movie - which will further ruin it. It looks like it's going to be some heavy-handed schlock about fitting in or belonging or being inclusive or something. Blech.

And there's nothing wrong with the costumes and make-up of the play. This CGI crud just looks absolutely jarring and creepy and all sorts of wrong.

I'm even ashamed of starting a whole thread dedicated to this nightmare. But I just had to say it - JUST SAY NO TO THIS MOVIE!!!

I hope we, as a species, will just all forgo this awful, awful, horribly rotten fur ball puke fest (even out of disgusted curiosity - you know what curiosity does to cats?). Just stay away from theaters running this movie.

I must shower now. Sorry for bringing it up.

If there's a big budget stinker that Joel would be tempted to take on on MST, I think this may possibly be it, because this looks like a textbook MST3K movie.

I'm sure Rifftrax might tackle it.

Well, I haven't seen this, and don't plan to, unless it's on a channel I get free. I'm not shelling actual money out for this stink burger. But I've watched a couple of reaction channels on YouTube and the people reviewing it couldn't even get through the commentary without cracking up, it was so god-awful. Gave me a good laugh to watch OTHER people's reaction to it, though.

I did see it. More memorable than Star Wars.
