Shame the 4K was cancelled.

OneWayFilms · 02-09-2020, 02:56 AM

I HIGHLY recommend if anyone wants to see the REAL Cats which is AMAZING, forget this bad film and go straight for the Broadway version...

AFFanAttic · 02-09-2020, 03:04 AM

Can't wait to unzip my skin and sit back with a popcorn tub full of cockroaches as I give this perfectly sane film another view.

bigdaddyhorse · 02-09-2020, 03:10 AM

I for one, cannot wait......

.....to never see this in my life.

I do imagine it might be playing hell when I'm dead though.

No knock on any fans of this, there have to be some somewhere.

If you care to know my reasoning, check out this previous post which brought it to my mind. That was from the Child's Play remake thread since someone called that the worst film of the year.

Cats 2019 is one of the greatest films ever made.

I'm one of the few who actually quite liked this one. I'll be sure to pick it up.

ImBlu_DaBaDee · 02-10-2020, 09:35 PM

Can’t wait to pick this up! It should make a great double feature with Roar! Can you say me-ouch?

Was holding out for Criterion, but oh well

MavisGary610 · 02-11-2020, 10:53 AM

This stinks, but I enjoyed every second of this freak show. Will be purchasing.

AFFanAttic · 02-11-2020, 01:11 PM

I honestly did enjoy watching this as well. It's such a bizarre roller coaster of a misfire. For a movie that's apparently awful, James Corden was still the least tolerable thing about it.

Second worst thing was the use of catnip in the movie. It's like they finally pushed the camp an inch too far. I wanted to yell out to everyone in the theater like Kathy Bates in Misery, "Catnip doesn't make cats fall asleep! Catnip doesn't do that!!"

And Ian McKellan gives an actually really good performance in his small bittersweet melancholy role. Somehow his legit good performance surrounded by this madness made it even funnier to me.

I still don't know if I'll want to view this a second time. Maybe I will by the end of this year and it can be found for very cheap.

I love weird movies. This movie is super weird. Day one!

I liked everything except for the sequence with Rebel Wilson. Horrible.

Dubstar · 03-18-2020, 04:49 PM

is the commentary Hooper apologizing for this charade

LOL still buying this though.

meremortal · 03-18-2020, 04:51 PM

Are 'easter egg' extras still a thing for blu like in the earlier 2000s on some dvds? If so, it'd be kind of amusing if there were 'hidden' bonus features like a rifftrax or similar thing.

Nothing about the super ambitious and complex VFX?

imsounoriginal · 03-18-2020, 04:55 PM

VFX might be in that Little Magic featurette. And I'm sure Hooper will talk about it plenty in the commentary.

But if Universal somehow thinks talking about Digital Fur Technology is embarrassing because of how poorly it was received, I guess that makes sense.
