Cats was the last movie my friend and I saw in theatres before the pandemic hit. To this day she will insist the release of Cats ushered in lockdowns and the End Times™️.

For a lot of people, the last movie they saw with their friends pre-pandemic was either Cats or Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic wasn't bad, at least not Cats-level bad, but for a last outing with your friends, leaves a little to be desired. Or in the case of Cats, quite a bit to be desired.

Somewhere, it exists. Someone is keeping it in hiding. It haunts that person every day. Or perhaps they are strategically holding it for future proprietary release.

I'll bet it's in the same vault as the movie where Jerry Lewis plays a clown in Auschwitz.

time stamp not working for me but go to 8 minutes 50 seconds.

And at 26:08 Jerry Lewis clearly states why he wouldn't release the film but then near his death he signed the film ownership rights over to the Library of Congress so it might be available for public viewing as early as the year 2025.

You know what, Andrew Lloyd Weber has earned his right to lie about needing an emotional support dog.

He's the one person allowed.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 33 points 8 months ago

The entire point of the post is that it's not a lie.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 13 points 8 months ago

I can see how a complete drama queen would pretend that.

That's why ALW is allowed it.

Not you. Make Broadway your bitch and we can talk.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I don't think this is English

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe -2 points 8 months ago

Try asking your dog to translate for you.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Or you could write coherently

James Corden is the worst part of everything.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

I honestly liked him in Doctor Who. That was the first thing I ever saw him in, and both his episodes were honestly really good.

But holy ever living fuck did he nose dive from there.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 8 months ago

Yeah, he was great as the fat idiot loser with zero rizz.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 8 months ago

He was somewhat famous before then at least in the UK.

He got famous from a TV show called Gavin and Stacy

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

He was in the Reasonably Priced Car on an old episode of Top Gear and was insufferable. Slow, too.

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

What do people have against James Corden?

I only know him from a handful of appearances on panelshows and he seems OK. Yet, everywhere he shows up I read comments about how much people hate him.

What's up with that?

[-] senkora@lemmy.zip 36 points 8 months ago

He seems to be one of those people who’s incredibly rude to service workers. He was banned from a restaurant in NYC and the owner went off on his behavior there:

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 8 months ago

He's unfunny, cringe in how disingenuous his attempts to be so mass appeal are, he's a dickhead to people he deems to be beneath him like service staff in restaurants, and he ruined The Late Late Show after Craig Ferguson retired.

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 13 points 8 months ago

Put simply he is a massive asshole off screen, and is often not much better on screen

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

First, it's trendy. Second, he is kind of an asshole, even on TV.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Because he was in one show in the UK that was popular and it went to his massive head. A lot of UK actors realize that if they want to do well in hollywood there is this particular level of behavior that is expected of them because they're British (Of course that's a stereotype, but that's Hollywood). But he's too dim to realize that.

People actually liked Alan Rickman which is why he was in everything.

No talent ass clowns tend to draw ire. /shrug

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 36 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm still waiting for the butthole cut. Apparently an earlier version was made and all the cats had buttholes and you can see them when they bend over and stuff

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 months ago

I NEED THE BUTTHOLE CUT

RELEASE THE BUTTHOLE CUT

DO IT YOU HOLLYWOOD COWARDS

[-] 20hzservers@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I mean cmon internet where is the buthole edit? I mean I don't have the skill/time to do it either so I'm just as much to blame I guess.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 8 months ago

Literally everyone who saw the trailer all said the same thing "oh god this looks like complete....oh look Taylor Swift.....shit."

[-] Thrashy@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

And for those that actually went to see it... "shit, shit, shit, shit, HOOOOLY SHIT Jennifer Hudson just absolutely blew the doors off of 'Memory....' shit, shit, how is Idris Elba so aggressively naked right now even though there's not a single visible bit of skin below his neck!?... shit... Wow, they managed to make Dame Judy Dench bad at acting, what the hell -- aaaand credits, thank God it's over."

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

Skimbleshanks was also done well.

[-] nadiaraven@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

I really enjoyed this video by Sideways about how the music in the movie is worse than you thought.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 8 months ago

This is totally jellicle.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

What's wrong with having a dog...?

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 8 months ago

Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote and produced the Broadway musical Cats in the 1980s. The movie adaptation that was released in 2019 was beyond abysmal. Truly cringe cinema. The humor in this anecdote is based on the fact that CATS was so bad the creator bought a DOG.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Yes, I got that from the exact same thing being written out in the image. The title implies buying a dog is worse than James Cordon.

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

The op was just making a dig at cordon. It's not really relevant to anything other than him being in the movie.

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

OPs title references the fact that Webber needed to get a therapy dog from the PTSD he developed from how badly they butchered his musical.

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago

Nothing. It's an attempt at irony as humor: author of cats buys dog.

Also I'm sure it's playing off the myth that cats and dogs don't mix.

[-] NevermindNoMind@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I read this entirely in the voice of Paul F. Tompkins, my dear Scottrick
