They must have gotten so much dirt/blackmail to cast such big names in this steaming pile of cat shit.

They must have gotten so much dirt/blackmail to cast such big names in this steaming pile of cat shit. An Oscar Award winning director, making a large budget movie based on one of the longest running Broadway musicals of all time written by one of the biggest names in the genre. Doesn't seem like it'd be hard to get big names involved to some degree... especially people that would like to break into movies like Taylor Swift.

Especially since Hooper's version of Les Mis got a lot of critical praise, in spite of Russell Crowe's Javert being kinda shit.

That makes sense because I was thinking of Movie 43 which had a MASSIVE star cast and it turned out that most of them were forced into being in it. I'm nowhere familiar with Tom Hooper's work, but I just searched his movies and it seems so bizarre that somebody with very Oscar-ish movies made this scary CGI nightmare.

This sounds so amazingly terrible that I can't wait for it to hit Redbox. This is calling my name if I have a 1.25 coupon.

Yeah, I’m glad this was made. Every once in awhile, we need a new astoundingly awful Hollywood disaster to reference. In that wY, the movie is providing a service.

I can't imagine someone hearing the pitch of "Okay, you're going to be a CGI cat/human!" and going "Sign me up!".

One of the most famous stage musicals, working with the guy who did The King's Speech, on paper it's a no brainer for this to be the kind of thing someone like Taylor Swift would try to launch a theatrical career off of.

Yeah like I said earlier Hooper is an academy award winning director. Cats is one of the longest running shows on Broadway Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the kings of Broadway. It's got a large budget. Theres plenty of reason people would want to be in this

My brain keeps reading Tom Hooper as Tobe Hooper.
Which I suppose is appropriate, because in their own ways, they're both directors of horror movies.

It also definitely seems to be a case, much like Snakes on a Plane, where there's a big yawning gap between ironic "I must see this!" response and actual cold light of day going and putting money down for a ticket.
I reckon it'll do great on something like Netflix where people already have a subscription running. The curiosity will be high. But it's gonna be one of the bigger bombs of the year, and I really don't see the Oscars wanting to give it much spotlight.

My buddy saw Snakes on a Plane, and when I asked him how it was, he gave a great review. He said, "It's like...accidentally good." This just looks like it went all in trying to capture the stage play and then some, and failed on every level. And then some. *New Developments* Jason DeRulo is saying critics don't know what the hell they're talking about. Thus making him the Seth Rollins of CATS. Meanwhile, James Corden has said he hasn't seen the movie yet, but heard that it's terrible.

Yeah, I have a feeling a lot of the "I really need to see this monstrosity" are going to wait for it to be streaming rather than pay movie theater prices to see something awful.

James Corden's response reminds me of Michael Caine's Jaws the Revenge line "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

I saw it and I’m still trying to comprehend what I just watched.
There are some nice and emotive performances in this, but that visual production? Oof.
