I don't like musicals but my son was a producer on this film so I'll be watching it. I'll also be remembering who said bad things about it.

Cats the movie has some awesomely scathing reviews...

My favourite comment so far is
But the Mirror summary of "way too horny" and "bewildering" just made loads of people in my timeline say "I am definitely getting wasted and going to see this". Maybe this reflects the sort of people I follow.

It wouldn't be the first critically-panned movie to be a massive success, though this would be a particularly odd reason for it.

I do actually like musicals and think Stephen Sondheim is
It implies that the film is successful in representing cats, when the fur-tit-mutants in the film look nothing like cats. I think some of the reviews in the OP are much funnier.

This might be an opportune time to bring out the factoid about real cats having an almost entirely random number of nipples.

Yep American girlfriend of the time dragged me to see it in London ooooh over 30 years ago now. Total shit as far as I was concerned, too. Glad to hear it didn't get any better.

My wife dragged me to see it almost exactly five years ago. It was so boring I nicked the little opera glasses as an act of revenge.

Thing is cats the musical as utter shite, laughably so in fact. I had to watch it when I did a TV feature on a cats super fan. I was allowed to go whenever I wanted, in the best seats for free, as many times as I liked . I lasted about five minutes and asked for a video. A film version was never going to be good.
But some people loved the musical, and some people will love the film . . . Forever and ever on dvd, however shit it is.

I was just thinking how this must be a furries dream this morning. What's that 4 Chan thing about porn? It's almost certainly already available.

I was thinking more about how cat people would integrate, and I reckon I'd be cool with cat McEllen sitting opposite me on the train, and my brother dating cat Taylor Swift. It would be like a cute version of alien nation where the milk didn't have to go rancid. Shit, yes, that should have been the movie, not dancing theatre lovvies.

I read on Reddit that furries like an essentially cartoon like aesthetic. Big eyes, bright coloured fur, big plushy paws. So furries find these cats disturbing too.
Imagine making a sexy cat film that even furries don't like

there is a whole thread about it somewhere, but science proves that cats are born with a number of nipples that bears no relation to any genetic heritage, and can be an odd number, and this includes boy catsHas anyone been brave enough to count them? Risk of limb loss.

I’ve always thought it weird, its a concept that has both puzzled and terrified me since it came out at theatre. The film looks even more horrific. A big Y THO?

TBF it wasn't our first choice, I was working for a local newspaper group in Somerset, and part of my duties was bringing in new revenue via readership offers. I did a deal with a company to put on a coach to London to see Phantom of the Opera on New Year's Eve, 4-star hotel overnight, and sight seeing tour next morning before returning for just £99!
The ad went in the various papers on Thur & Fri, my ex & I discussed it over the weekend & decided we would go for it. I rang them first thing Monday & all 52 seats had sold out on Fri.
That was a bit of a record for these things, and £500 banked for the newspapers in just a day or so, so I suggested a second coach, which was arranged for another show, as there was no chance of more Phantom tickets, but the ex had seen that one.
My contact suggested we booked our own tickets to a different show, and he would do a deal on the coach & hotel only for just £50, I said 'each', and he said, 'no for both of you', so that was one hell of a bargain!
So, we ended-up with 'Cats', we enjoyed it, typical West End production, everything was spot on, the music, the make-up & customs, etc. were amazing, the looped 'catwalk' out into the audience, with 'cats' skating around it, right next to where we were seated, we were totally immersed into it.
Although, having a few drinks before & being seriously stoned, whilst knowing we had a night in a luxury hotel could have helped with our allover perception of what was going on, TBH.

There was a thread about counting cat nipples, IIRC by the urban expert in such things - Spymaster.

Spymaster was very insistent that I'd find may cat's nipples when I said I couldn't find any any. When I finally found them, I felt dirty and used. Groomed on Urban !Top class crawling.

I know someone who was a dancer on this. Likewise, not keen on musicals at all, apart from Jungle Book. Was kinda tempted to go watch it, but I don't think I will! I heard they changed directors* half way through and that wasn't seen as a good thing by some of the cast. Original director = good atmosphere on set, New director = tense atmosphere on set.
*Note: it might have been change of choreographer, rather than director... Not sure actually
Come to think of it, makes more sense it was a change of choreographer...Similar threads
