I don’t see what’s wrong with her expressing her opinion. I applaud her brutal honesty; I don’t think she does it to be deliberately mean. I guess you could say she’s kind of like the female equivalent of Simon Cowell (who I usually applaud for his brutal honesty, as he often puts some wit into his remarks).

Though if Don Rickles was still alive, I wonder what he would’ve had to say about this movie.

Oh, I’m sure he could do a roast on the film that’s as long as its runtime.

While Hugh Jackman was promoting Bad Education a few weeks ago, he revealed that Tom Hooper had actually talked to him about a couple of different roles in Cats, but wasn’t available at the time.

If he actually did like it, I would have been shocked.

Especially given how happy he appeared to have been with the 2004 film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera (which to be fair, he was very involved with as the sole producer).

Let’s be honest: CATS is an iconic bad movie. In 10-20 years people will view it as a camp classic. An utterly terrible piece of trash that’s fun to rag on. Kind of like “Batman & Robin”. I NEED a tell-all book about the behind the scenes shenanigans. There had to be at least one person who knew this film was a disaster waiting to happen.

I’m not entirely sure about that just because the visuals make people feel so uncomfortable.

Sideways just did an hour-long video on how poorly the music was handled in Cats. It’s the take we didn’t know we needed.
