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

I love Phil Spector's well-trod zing: "“I respect Andrew Lloyd Webber’s work so much that someday I’d like to set it to music.”

I don't know why but I was under the impression that this was going to be an animated thing, like with actual cartoon cats rather than hellbeast cat/human hybrids. I guess because...that makes more sense? And might've actually been semi-appealing? I...I don't know how you spend so much time and money making something like this without at some point conceding that you're doing something unholy and should stop.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Friday, 19 July 2019 00:07 (four years ago) link
The whole 'people in shabby cat costumes' thing...I mean, I always just assumed that was for the sake of practicality and expedience in the context of a stage production, not an intentional aesthetic choice that you throw hundreds of millions of dollars behind.

what the hecking shit is the source of that fake Watchmen panel that ppl keep memeing? I never have any idea what point they’re trying to make w/ it

so one of my key findings from having cats for a year plus now after a lifetime of not having cats is that cats have very prominent assholes that you see like, all the time because they walk around with their tails in an 'up' position, and honestly that's the main thing i thought of while i was watching this trailer.

it’s a real short hop from that post to erotic fan-art

The costume design actually looks pretty good (or at least not shabby) - I assume the cat costumes IE the fur is 100% CGI.

Also, while Satan is surely pleased with what they've created, you figure they almost certainly made a blood offering to the dark lord, as well, to ensure the success of this pantomime of the damned. The question, really, is just how many dozens (hundreds?) of felines lost their lives over the course of birthing this cinematic abomination.

This is the cinematic equivalent of holing up alone inside your home for a year and then walking out into the world without ever glancing into a mirror beforehand. The producers of the film are currently standing in the street with a slice of pizza stuck to their shirt and their dick hanging out and going 'What? What?!' at the bystanders currently gawking in understandable disgust.

Something that's been cracking me up are people who missed out on the original phenomenon looking at the trailing and going "but what is it ABOUT?" and I can't wait for them to find out it's basically a musical revue with a tenuous narrative throughline
― brigadier pudding (DJP), Friday, 19 July 2019 12:38 (four years ago) link
That was one of the first things that occurred to me when I saw the trailer, that the 'oh, hey, it's Cats, the musical whose unique visual style is familiar to me because it was something of a cultural phenomenon within recent memory' window is kinda way way closed.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Friday, 19 July 2019 12:48 (four years ago) link
While we're at it, I'd argue that there's no time like 2019 for a reverent adaptation of Starlight Express.

Given the era, I assume that coke was largely responsible for the musical, but I'm not sure what the excuse for this movie is. Synthetic weed?
