Years ago, we took a family trip to New York. Everybody else went to Broadway to see ‘Cats’. I went to Bleecker Street to see George Coleman.

Hence, the biggest mistake would be (yes, critics, I’m saying this) for Universal and Working Title to not make a movie version of Cats.

It’s sad to think that there are people who live in a
universe like that...

I will confess that when I was in High School I snuck into Disney's The Black Hole and did get my money back.

I’ve never understood the appeal. If you don’t like actual cats, you don’t have any interest in people dressed up as cats. And if you DO like cats, you like CATS, not... people dressed up as cats. I just don’t get it.

As for the headline, they really missed a “catastrophe” opportunity there.

‘Cats’ is one of the few musicals I never played. Probably a good thing.

The studio is actually rushing out
a copy with better special effects, downloads and hard copies.

I like the music from Cats. All of it.

I know it makes me a plebe but there is something about it that just works.

for me.

So basically Cats and Bombshell are the two worst films of the year.

Furries, all alone in the moonlight, with their suits all creative, and their Cats to look forward to, I remember when liking cartoons was just weird enough on its own, then these furries did come in....

Best review of it so far:
“Before I saw the movie Cats, I was not a cat person. After seeing the movie Cats, I’m not a movie person either.”
