However it did bring back the even earlier childhood trauma of my crazed cat-loving grandpa who would beckon me aside, recite long chunks of Bustopher Jones / Skimbleshanks / The Naming of Cats and then say 'go and tell Daddy that', at which point I would run off and interrupt my dad mid-shave in order to recite whatever I could remember at him. If only I had known the songs first this would have been much easier.

The bottles look fantastic as I like the idea of trying to drink directly from one. I'd say they're about 8 or 10 pints. The French have it right with those litre mini barrels of Kronenberg that you stick the spout on to drink. They cost 8 francs aswell in OLD money.

Lousy musical makes lousy movie. Starting the trailer with the only big song is a very bad sign.

My wife started this last night and made it ... not far before turning it off and saying it was even worse than she expected. I asked her what she expected, and she said, I dunno, but I didn't expect it to be *that* bad. And I asked, what, the literally universal derision and it bombing hard with a vengeance wasn't hint enough?

a half dozen of us "celebrated" the beginning of covid lockdown by watching this movie together the night before last in a video chatroom
― sarahell, Wednesday, March 18, 2020 11:49 AM (three weeks ago) bookmarkflaglink
I did this roughly at the same time but most of the people left way before the film finished.
just a ghastly looking thing. absolutely awful. I don't know the musical but the musical is definitely part of the problem here, there's not many tunes (I can really only remember the refrain from the magical mr mistoffelees song and the chorus of memory) and the story and book is just sort of bizarre. Jason de rulo is fine but the most of the cast is awful special mentions to rebel Wilson, James Corden, Idris, and Taylor Swift doing "sexy"

I went to an Alamo rowdy screening which was mostly a fun crowd with one or two people who thought they were Tom Servo. Movie is fully insane nonsense and still like 30 minutes too long.
― The Mandymoorian (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 8 April 2020 19:01 (four years ago) link
I had little to no knowledge of the source material, but like 80% of the film is like "Let's introduce a cat so we have an excuse to sing a song about that particular cat.
That may be what the play is about too, I don't know for sure!
― The Mandymoorian (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 8 April 2020 19:03 (four years ago) link
“We paused it,” the source said. “We went to call our supervisor, and we’re like, ‘There’s a fucking asshole in there! There’s buttholes!’
"Butthole emails ..."
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 19:12 (four years ago) link
it does feel like most of the movie is made up of songs that introduce a new cat.
