Rather watch real cats on YouTube.
How gay is it?
Anything with Taylor Swift in it is to be avoided.
Sounds like a terrible idea for a movie. The cat costumes and makeup really only work (IMO) onstage where stylization is more accepted. Movies are more realistic and stage-bound stylization rarely works.
The ‘cats’ with short fur look like people with skin disorders.
‘Cats’ is one of the few musicals I never played. Kinda glad I didn’t.
I thought the theater costumes were awful...they looked more like shihtzus
My time machine is nearly ready. I am really torn between going back and assassinating Karl Marx, or T.S. Eliot.
I saw the stage play. The worst play I have ever seen in my entire life. Truly awful.
So Taylor’s a ‘furry’ now?
too much snark in this review....i couldn’t finish it
Taylor Swift will go down as the best actress since Madonna.
I am really torn between going back and assassinating Karl Marx, or T.S. Eliot.”
WTF?
What on earth are you talking about, throwing Eliot into the same brew as Marx?
In general, plays do not translate to film.
I agree; this might have worked as a cartoon, but not with live actors.
Haven’t seen CATS, so I have no idea if it is a good stage show or not (only one memorable song — very memorable — but is there more to it than that? Can’t say.)
Hahahahahaha...choices...choices...
oh, just to clarify....I didn’t like the REVIEW....I intend to see the movie, and am determined to love it.
But i love the show, and I’d have to say, anything that puts even Eliot’s not-so-serious words prominently out there is going to get my enthusiastic support.
With regards to the music in the show....in my opinion....yes, there is a LOT that goes on. The number of styles/genres probably reaches a dozen or so. This is of course what ALW has always done so well. The music follows the characters and develops them.
I think CATS is a remarkable collab....two geniuses at work....of course post-humously in Eliot’s case.
There’s so much more to be said about CATS. I think it’s amazing. I adore it, and Eliot is a major life figure for me (and many others). (Of course I adore Hamilton, also, and I get it that I’m in the bottom 1% at Free Republic in that regard.....lol).
I love the musical Cats, but this looks terrible.
