    This confirms what I've suspected for years, which is that the reason Tom Hooper hasn't made a movie since Cats is not for lack of trying: it's because actors don't trust him anymore.

    Not to spoil a now 32 year old movie but toward the end, Sterling's boyfriend (a dancer in Cats) dies from AIDS complications and Jeffrey shows up to talk to him in the hospital and the... I dunno, man. What Stewart put into playing Sterling in those scenes has stuck with me forever.

    breaking my silence about Judi Dench's recent comments on Cats the movie musical: of course no one was trying to make a bad film! that's what makes the whole experience feel 100x more bizarre. you cannot try on purpose to engineer inanity this pure, you can only come by it honestly

    Now, did Strange New Worlds do a good job? …kind of no? M’ress looks like a subpar M’ress fursuit. She looks too cartoony for a live action show. And just…wrong. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but she should have looked more like the characters from the “Cats” movie. Still, it’s a start!
