I misread "Tom Hooper" as "Tobe Hooper" and was puzzled by him directing despite having died a couple of years ago. Though it definitely looks like a horror movie, so in some ways it fit.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Did we learn nothing from Sonic the Hedgehog?

The Cats trailer just makes me sad. I know Cats is a punchline, but I saw it in the original Broadway run (and the revival a couple years ago) and it's an amazing piece of theater. Taking away the costumes, makeup, and dancing (yeah yeah, Andy Blankenbuehler, but most of the cast are not dancers) and you have...not theater. Digital fur WTF.

Our wings are not tired.
We saw the original Broadway run as well, back over 30 years ago. I'll keep those happy memories.

I saw it in the theater. I spotted something in the paper this morning - seemingly it's using a new technology to, um, "enhance" the furriness ... and a lot of people are finding it creepy. Including Taylor Swift is kind of a no-brainer, but Judy Dench and Ian McKellan leave me scratching my head.

Judi Dench originated the role of Grizabella in the 1981 London cast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just don't understand why Jennifer Hudson's voice sounds so strained. She's singing in a studio! She doesn't need to work that hard!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe she's Acting? I didn't love her rendition either, stylistically.

That's hilarious, Toddson!
Just making a movie of Cats is a bad idea, I guess making really terrible choices about how to make that movie kind of...fits? I don't know. I'm not outraged but I am repelled. Kinda curious what they told the cast they were getting into because I can't imagine it was this.
