Yes! The Cats just keep on comin' and I finally get to do a write-up fur it! Now please understand, I'm not actually excited to be writing about a movie I haven't seen or have any desire to see (despite being a true-hearted Swiftie). I'm really just excited to go cat pun crazy! Also, it's pretty hilarious that Universal, the studio that gifted us with this cat turd, is now releasing a brand new version of the movie with "improved visual effects" just TWO DAYS after the flick hit theaters! Are they f-ing kitty-ing me?!
I know that CATS cost over $100 million to make, opened to $2.6 million on Friday and received a C+ CinemaScore from moviegoers, but will new special effects really solve everything? Unless Universal is litter-aly superimposing a brand new movie with actual cats that don't look like rejects from the Island of Dr. Moreau, I don't forsee increased success. Of course, something like this has never happened in the history of cinema, which leads me to bellieve that the real reason behind Universal's nefurious move is an attempt to cat-pitalize on the morbid hullabaloo CATS has generated. Our own Mr. Chris Brumbay gave a somewhat positive review to this feline fiasco, so perhaps there is room fur it to achieve cult status? But that takes time (at least nine lives)!
The updated and possibly better CATS will be available for theaters to download Sunday via a satellite server, while those who don't have access to the server will receive a hard drive by Tuesday. Universal is asking (begging?) that theaters replace the current kitty print as soon as possible.
Did any of you paw-take in a viewing of CATS yet? Are you more enticed to see what this "new" version entails? Do you know the names of all three of Taylor Swift's cats? Kindly post your claw-ments below right now! I mean MEOW! Right Meow! Ah, shit!
