    The trailer makes me legitimately uncomfortable enough that I honestly am not sure I could sit through the movie. I can’t handle these cats in their two second cuts from the trailer, how could I sit through an extended 5 minute scene of unbroken movement and singing?

    This movie is our punishment for the creeping fascism that becomes more explicit each day in the US.

    At least that's the only way I can explain it.

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Cats the Musical the Movie. The way in which it crafts its storytelling is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of feline hierarchy, most of the themes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rum Tug Tugger's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization - his personal philosophy draws heavily from T.S. Elliot’s literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; and they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they're not just catchy - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence, people who dislike Cats the Musical the Movie truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rum Tug Tugger's existential catchphrase "Meowth, that’s right!" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tom Hooper's genius unfolds itself on their movie screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Cats the Musical the Movie tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

    Never underestimate how moronic and out of touch studio executives are. Never.

    Well, let's all be thankful this isn't how the faces look in the new Lion King.

    How is Nic Cage not in this? Image him just popping up out of nowhere and giving a meow and then hissing at the other cats. We have failed as a society.

    Brian Blessed is such a gift and the movie should just be that picture of him as a cat holding a cat broadcast for two hours.

    I saw the trailer for this before the Lion King and I can honestly say it creeped me out.

    grateful all the fucking time Supporter

    I've watched this trailer so many times since it dropped.

    This whole project is so audacious & misguided & sure of itself & uniquely bonkers & poorly rendered. It's not bad in the tedious, predictable, movie-by-committee way that Sonic was. I can't make sense of how or why it exists, & for that reason alone, I am thankful for it.

    Will probably wait for Redbox, but nonetheless, will 100% watch this eventually.

    I saw Cats live last month and had no idea what to expect and it was fucking insane and I left halfway through and I loved every minute
     
  25. I'm concerned because I'm not as creeped out by this as I know I should be...

    I actually really love the set design and colors in it.
