Clickbait Title: 10 Reasons To Go See CATS Before It Vanishes Forever
CATS is poised to be one of the biggest box office bombs in terms of both % gross and absolute dollars lost. I'm not sure if it'll take the throne, but it's definitely up there, having made a scant $6.2m against its $95m budget. It averaged less than 200 tickets per cinema over its entire weekend. At this point anyone and everyone who wants to see it purely to gawk could do so five times each and it would still be an utter financial disaster.

This was a great video, and while I did listen carefully to all of it, my recognition of the Scotiabank Theatre Chinook at the start got me trying to identify the bits of Calgary in the background throughout. With the worm's-eye view of downtown, I knew we were downtown but couldn't pin down where until we passed Bow Valley Square on the right, which I thought I recognized, and confirmed when I saw the parkade across the street from the southwest tower. (I used to work in BVS and parked in that parkade every day during a transit strike, so it was a solid landmark.) So we were travelling west along 6th Avenue. I had trouble recognizing many other buildings from there, although a few did stand out. I think you turned south maybe at 10th Street? Then I wasn't paying close attention and almost missed the fade transition when passing under a +15, and was jarred into going back to find the transition when I realized we were now passing the Calgary Parking Authority building on the left, meaning we were now headed east on 9th Avenue. From there, I recognized more buildings, some of which I can even name (Bankers Hall and the Calgary Tower were both trivial to identify, of course.) I had gotten the impression from some previous videos that you might have lived in Calgary, but I couldn't put my finger on any specific reason why. I think the outdoor scenes in the Bakshi video seemed familiar, but that's about it. Great video, and thanks for not making me watch any footage from Cats (2019). 10/10

I almost fell out of my seat laughing when Idris Elba yelled, "MEEYOW!" as he disappeared into a puff of smoke the first time. When Rebel Wilson unzipped herself the SECOND TIME, I had an out of body experience. I was profoundly uncomfortable as Mungo Jerry and Rumpleteazer seemed to be sibling-lovers trying to seduce Victoria into a threesome. It recalled awkward hot tub moments with couples I didn't find very attractive asking me about my bisexuality. Though I must admit, Victoria seemed like she might have been into it. When the Dame Judi Dench raised her leg, my reality shattered. I want to see this film 10 more times in theaters. And I'm going to come up with callbacks with my friends. This is an instantaneous cult classic. And I love it more than anything else I've seen this decade.

But also, against all odds, I genuinely teared up at several musical numbers. These actors managed to elicit full pathos from me, despite the plot being indecipherable and the whole aesthetic being so uncanny. Not a single one of these incredible performers looked embarrassed to be there. They were acting SO HARD, you guys. I felt genuine emotions which would come collapsing down upon themselves as soon as I remembered where I was and what I was looking at. I've never seen a woman frown with such herculean might as Jennifer Hudson singing memory. Sir Ian McKellen was absolutely captivating. Judi Dench was as Judi Dench as she ever was, perhaps moreso.

Because he doesn't. He's talking about a movie that doesn't have much to say and chooses awkward and cringe-inducing ways to say it, with the mild horror coming from normal people putting together something this uncomfortable as a big-budget production. It doesn't have a lot in common with Lovecraft. Your joke doesn't land, except it's RU-vid comments, so "Great Old Ones tearing apart reality" (laughter turns into applause turns into standing ovation)
@Blayzeing
@Blayzeing 4 года назад
Except, @@MegaZeta, I think that you're wildly off the mark with that summation. At the heart of Lovecraftian horror is the fear of the unknown (and, of course, some baked-in xenophobia) and how the human psyche responds to that, in particular with references to the attempted human perception of unknowable or unpercievable sights. I would say that a film the plot and motivations of which are opaque, presented in a media in which we, as people, see things that literally never would have existed in the natural world and that plays with existential concepts such as reincarnation and death is undeniably lovecraftian in nature. Sure, a lot of what makes a topic lovecraftian is in presentation (just see, for example, all of the cute cathulu toys and cartoons that all but in name are completely separate from the genre), and sure, perhaps the joke could be refined, much in the way that many off-hand comments on RU-vid could be. But when it comes down to it, your comment comes across as you lashing out over some kind of fear of 'normal people' co-opting a genre that you obviously have a passionate interest in. But hey, I guess that's just my opinion. I personally think the idea of cats coming off as somehow lovecraftian is quite funny in it's own right, and hey, the jokes keep getting voted up, so I guess at least some other people do too.

I was half-expecting him to go into a full-on Dr. Manhattan inner monologue about his relationship to this film and cats in general. Something like this: It is December 23rd, 2019, XX:XX and I have just walked out of a screening of Cats. I saw the whole movie. Wasn't pretty, but I did it for the job I've got. It is July 18th, 2019, XX:XX and I have just seen the first trailer. I laugh, knowing that this film is clearly a mistake, but one that probably will be a flash in the pan no one will want to see. After all, the new Star Wars sequel is coming out around that time also. It is like committing cinematic suicide. It is December 23rd, 2019, XX:XX, I am getting into my car to see the Cats movie everyone is talking about. It can't be that bad. After all, Taylor Swift is in that mess and Universal gave it the green light. Someone had to tell someone else there that something was wrong with this picture before it could get that bad. They have test screenings, after all. It is September 5th, 2004, 10: 00 A.M. and I am at my parents house. They have a cat with a rather typical name. Something a kid could come up with. Whiskers? Boots? It doesn't matter. All that does is that I am in serious pain because of it. This cat, Whiskers, Boots, or whatever scratched me in the face. Not in the eye, but I feel pain up there. I'm worried that I won't be able to see after that sudden visual strike of terror. It is December 23rd, 2019, XX:XX and I am half-way through Cats. I am in a pain familiar to something I've lived before, but there's something different about this. There's something mental about this. It is like as if my eyes went shut and I was shunted off to a hellish wonderland. It is like as if Lewis Carroll had asked a chronic psychedellic to finish his work: even more so than the original text we've got. This is terror. This is insanity put to film. I see this and I'm back in July laughing at the botched roll-out. I'm back at my parents house back in September of '04 reeling and retching from the pain in face. I'm back in my car earlier this day heading here without a clue of what I'm getting in... But that's just the vibe I was getting when this started.

So like you had almost gotten use to living this hell and then all of a sudden, for a mere passing moment, you feel some attraction towards this cat.

And then, quick as a blink, you return to yourself, you feel repulsion towards this travesty return, but in your memories are those split seconds of the grave sin committed in your mind. No one knows your transgressions but you, and you can seek no comfort from others as to do so would mean revealing your weakness. The guilt eats at you, as you lose any sense of what it meant to be happy. You are now a husk, a cardboard cutout pretending the rain is fells pleasant. And you are alone, for you know deep in your soul you deserve no companionship. But worst of all? You know no companionship would suffice now that you yearn for Macavity's rock hard abs. Yummy.

Before going in to see Cats, I ordered a gin and tonic. The bartender asked me what I was going to watch, and then immediately offered me a double. By the halfway point, all the gin was gone, and so were 8 audience members out of a starting number of maybe 25. At the supposed emotional climax of the film, when Judy Dench chooses her death candidate, someone on the front row started to giggle, and the rest of the theatre descended into hysterical laughter (emphasis on the hysteria). But perhaps the strangest moment when right at the beginning, when the film classification popped up. I don't see the green U logo often, because I don't see children's films very often. I know that the BBFC runs on very strict rules, and I guess Cats didn't break any of them - no swearing, no violence, no nudity. But I'm also not sure how they sat through this entire film and came to the conclusion that despite the uncanny valley-ness, the way actors keep rubbing up on each other, and jokes about Jason Derulo's balls, children of any age will not be the slightest bit disturbed by this.

The show has always been "sexually inappropriate", but it was the first "mega musical" that was constantly attended by families with small children, so I imagine changing the rating for the adaptation - a movie that doesn't really add to, or worsen, the inappropriateness that was already there - felt like a needless roadblock that would probably get some parents pretty upset (it's much more affordable to take your kid to see the CATS movie than to see CATS on stage), they just gave it a "U"/"G"/"(Insert-rating-from-your-country's-MPAA-equivalent-here)". Which is hilarious cos the way a lot of these rating systems are set up are friggin jokes anyway, but I guess they like to think they've built up a reasonable amount of respect and would rather not piss off one too many audience members or studios...

It provides a contrast that makes the problem sharper. If you are sitting in the dark, then your eyes adjust. But if you have a light there, then your eyes focus for that light, and everything is gears for taht light, even if it is a shitty light. Thus, everything else is darker.

What makes it even better (worse?) is that the twin breakdancing cats who are wearing those shoes... aren't. Those shoes are CGI. In the trailer, they aren't wearing shoes, and if you look closely at their shoes in the movie, they bend in ways that clearly show they're CGI.

I remain baffled as to why they couldn’t have done a Cats film with mostly practical effects and theatrical costuming. I suspect the producers would say that the theatrical costumes “looked silly,” but *Cats is already silly*. Better to go for a representational look that emphasizes the physical reality of the singing and dancing than to incept in your audience the realization that God is not real and we’re all going to die and existence is meaningless and *that lady just unzipped her skin what the fuck*.

The problem with that is the musical has spectacle made from the ballet and the intense singing bits of it that make up for the lack of a concise plotline and make it an entertaining enough experience for even the most confused non-theatre fan watchers. I haven't seen the movie yet but apparently (according to most reviewers) the CGI they worked SO hard on has completely failed to take the place of impressive choreography and talented vocals where they should have filled the gap of the plot.

honestly, as a fan of musical theater the one time I watched Cats live on stage left me sorely disappointed precisely because of the lack of any plot.

@angelic252
@angelic252 4 года назад
@@simoneholenstein6977 I don't think there is no plot to it, the plot is just quite simple and only there to frame the spectacle that the choreography, acting and singing create. The whole thing is an annual ball at which each cat that wishes to ascend presents itself and it's achievements in front of the leader, then the villain shows up to muck stuff up, the magical dude saves the day, and the ball is back on track. For a musical, as long as you pay attention to the lyrics, the efforts the actors make to fill up every second on stage with movement and cat shenanigans, and if the production is well made, it's enough. As a movie, however, had they wanted to present this to anyone over 10 years old they might've wanted to invest in a tone shift and some more attention to plot. I personally only like the 1998 film version of it, it's like a close up of the best version of the stage production you'll get, except the actors have obviously taken multiple takes to get every second of it just right. I have been to live plays of the musical but it's not as impressive when you're older, or, maybe I just haven't been to GOOD live plays of it.

5:44 I think part of the reason that Elba looks so naked even compared to the other cats is also due to the fact that he’s the only leading cat who’s fur doesn’t have any catlike patterns on it. It’s just a solid colour that is not far off his own skin tone so in the wide shots where it’s harder to see the fur texture he just looks like he’s naked

This film is like watching a star collapse into a blackhole. Its last heaving gasp of life before it withers into death. As a fan of the Broadway production nothing in my wildest dreams, none of my friends literally begging me not to watch it, my mother sitting in dull horror as she realized I spent 20$ on a ticket ride to feeling my soul leave my body... could prepare me for how incredible this film was in terms of its failure. It is a complete failure. I am unable to think of a single movie that I personally consider a bigger failure than this film. Cats (2019) is one of the most soul crushing defeats in cinema that I have ever seen, and I genuinely don't know how they could top it in my lifetime. To say it was written by apes would do the apes a truly abhorrent cruelty. Of course, I own the Blu-ray and inflict it on myself when I need to punish myself for my sins. Legitimately, hyperbole aside, I have watched this movie 47 times. Once in theaters and the other 46 times at home. It is fascinating to watch to me not because its bad (it's a detriment to the salvation of mankind) but because it not only doesn't work, but there is nothing in the film that works. At all. Everyone says Jason DeRulo was okay in it and I frankly forget he exists... All I can see is Rebel Wilson and James Corden act in a film that should not only have ended their career but see them launched into space, trapped in the Phantom Zone. Judi Dench and Ian McKellen are also cartoonishly bad. Genuinely it is a physical pain for me to say the words Bad and Ian McKellen in the same sentence, but he chews the scene when he's on and he's not in it very much... that I can recall... I CAN REMEMBER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE SEEN IT AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED IN IT. Think about that.

But at least if they'd done it *on purpose,* we could (shudder but still) politely applaud that they at least achieved their goal. That didn't seem to actually be the goal, though. Yet this was just like a nightmare that was made viewable, pensieve-projector style, to an unsuspecting and undeserving-of-such-punishment audience. Who paid to be there, sure, but they paid to waste their time on a flashy, showy spectacle -- not to be horrified and discomforted by some lovecraftian tribute, Alice in Wonderland-meets-Cats-meets... idk, a D-level horror-survival movie?... mishmash.

More proof that Hollywood can be quite clueless when it comes to their insatiable need to adapt everything to film. As the guy states in the video, the entire point of the Cats musical is to experience the choreography firsthand; seeing it on film eliminates the whole reason for Cats to even exist! The fact that Cats has little to no plot is irrelevant when you're seeing it on stage. It should be remembered that the entire basis of Cats is a book of poems by T. S. Eliot. Since it was based on a book of random-ass poetry, it's no wonder that it has very little discernible plot. Tom Hooper's adaptation of the musical Les Misérables to film was passable, but only because it had an actual story to follow. Even then, it paled in comparison to the non-musical 90's movie with Liam Neeson and Geoffrey Rush. And why? Because Hollywood doesn't need to pillage Broadway to get it's ideas!
