    Now imagine the scene from Team America where the guy who hates actors reveals he was gang-raped by the male cast of Cats.

    I admit I am intrigued to see Taylor Swift as a sultry anthropomorphic cat.

    Ditto. She looks like my first girlfriend.

    It turns out actual cats are less than impressed by the trailer. Dogs seem to like it, though.

    I can't ever see Cats in the same light since I watched that Animaniacs episode years ago that spoofed Andrew Lloyd Weber

    This was the only thing I could find on Youtube. Interestingly, it's also one of the most bizarre videos I've come across...

    I am keenly aware of the dangers of the interwebs, and am very selective in what I watch. :dendroica:

    As the internet has already repeatedly pointed out, this is unrealistic because the cats aren't constantly sticking their brown starfish in your face, and in fact lack an anus.

    I remember that from the winter garden theater when the cast ran around in the audience and gave everyone the cat ass. Or wait, maybe that was a strip club on furry night?

    Cats is going to be the Showgirls of the twenty-teens. A horrifying train wreck of a movie that you just can't look away from.

    Who is the actress in the purple catsuit/whatever from about 7-9 seconds in? I seem to recognise her but can't place her, and I don't think she's listed in the cast. It's not Taylor Swift, is it?

    1. She's not purple, she's white with purple light reflecting off her.
    2. She's Francesca Hayward. She's famous in the ballet world, but not Hollywood famous.

    I predict this movie will crash hard.

    The only people who will see it are furries and folks who are high.

    I do feel for the people who put hard work into trying to figure out how to strike the right amount of "feline" in the makeup

    And then making it happen in practice

    And then all the people wearing that stuff and trying to move around and perform for a whole movie, knowing as they do that they're taking a risk in doing something unusually silly by contemporary standards

    And then everyone tells them "congrats, you pretty well nailed the uncanny valley between the eyes there"

    If I were into the musical I honestly might be willing to give it a shot on Netflix or redbox, maybe I could ignore the makeup oddities and just concentrate on the performances

    Maybe the soundtrack will be good?

    I can't say the words "musical theater" without feeling the need to put on leather chaps.

    Yeah, basically. With the exception of Superstar, Andrew Lloyd Webber is musical theater for middle-aged suburban housewives on their third vodka and cranberry.
