I came across this, which I'm nominating for tweet of the day (in this subject area):
IT Chapter Two: I'm the scariest trailer you'll see all day!
Cats: Hold my milk
Fire bad. Tree pretty.
Buffy ,'Chosen'
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
She always sounds like that to me.

I mean, is there anyone in the world who doesn't have an opinion about Cats? Anyone in the entertainment business who doesn't have a VERY STRONG INFORMED opinion about Cats? I think they knew exactly what they were getting into!

To be generous, they may not have realized what they'd look like after the CGI people got through with them. (Also - Idris Elba? he may have lost his sexiest man rating for this.)

Oh, come on, Judi Dench said to herself "CGI cats maybe wearing clothes and a forced plot? Sign me up!"

The plot is the same as the musical from what I can tell, with slightly more exposition (if those lines weren't added just for the trailer).

The production I saw had no plot whatsoever. That I noticed, anyway.
