Why are the cats in a Suicide cult?
Why are the cats all nuzzling each other the entire time?
Why do the cats have human hands?
Why does that one cat tap dance?
Why do the cats fluctuate between cat and human sized in relation to the background?
Why is there an obsession with the word ineffable?
Why does the film end by just flipping my favourite Blackadder the Third joke?
Why do some cats wear clothes and others don’t?
Why does Rebel Wilcat tear her skin off?
Why did someone think it would be a good idea to make Ray Winstcat sing?
Why is Ian McCatllen the only one acting like an actual cat? Is he wrong or everyone else in the film?
Why is Idris Elbcat a wizard Harry?
Why hasn’t he used these magical power to subjugate the entire world?
Why does Taylor Swicat describe Idris as ginger, tall, and thin when he’s clearly not?
Why are people talking about her song for an Oscar? Are there only 4 other original songs?
Why should we care about Jennifer Hudcat in the film when no one has anything resembling a character arc in the film?
Why during Memories do they keep cutting to the most horrifying sight in the history of the world, Judi Denchat?
And how the hell did they manage to make a film that was nearly two hours and yet NOTHING happened? No story, no character development. Nothing. Not one thing.
Also Tim Hooper began this decade winning the Best Picture Oscar with The King’s Speech, and now he’s producing one of the worst films I’ve seen all year. How is that even possible?
But I guess there was some good dancing, which will save it from being a 1 out of 10.
2/10
-I think it’s more paganism.
-Trying to mimic cat behaviour?
-Didn’t notice, sorry.
-(It’s a tap dance number.)
-I agree- the sizing point.
-“Ineffable” comes from “ineffabilis,” which joins the prefix in-, meaning “not,” with the adjective effabilis, meaning “capable of being expressed.” “Effabilis” comes from “effari” (“to speak out”), which in turn comes from ex- and fari (“to speak”)(merriamwebster.com)
But – is it a beautiful word?
It’s the beginning of the original poem? ‘the ineffable, effable, eff and in-effable.’ naming of cats is a difficult matter. I think growing up I heard Michael Horden? recite the poem. He sort of revels in the word- swills it around his mouth like a fine wine.
(I had a thought, about the poem – that there is one cat, who is then described, doing different things, exaggerated for comic effect, into a separate identity.)
(But you were saying)
(and not directly to me.)
-I don’t immediately know this joke from Blackadder.(n.b. Dame Elizabeth Blackadder, not particularly villainous! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Blackadder)
-Why do some cats wear clothes? Yes. I don’t know. The Mr. Jason Derulo take off my coat joke wore a bit thin maybe.
-Does she? I thought her bit painful, not excruciating.
-Didn’t notice- maybe was out buying mulled wine. NB. I do tend to think, that movies mimic theatre’s structure, so taking a break at around halfway, two thirds, is advised.
-Could relax, listening to Sir Ian M’s bit.
-why do we need villains, yeah.
-So. In Harry Potter, magic means intelligence, right. Aptitude. Skill.
In X Men, being a mutant too. Either way, not normal!
So you take issue here? That it isn’t clear, that magic isn’t just being used, to bypass rules.
And then, Mr Mistopheles , nascent magician, wizard… willpower…
-yup, ok, probably, far as I know.
-City of Stars La La Land won an Oscar. Maybe, Oscars is not a litmus test.
(Tune I think it might sound like, is Highschool Lover by Air.)
-She’s suffered, huh. Frightened ball of fur.
-I am glad , that looking at Dame Judy Dench dressed in a cat costume is the worst thing that’s happened to you.
-It’s been known?

I went with my brother, which helps.
Did I have an open mind? No. I knew that it was being hounded! ho ho
and so thought, I will support the director.
I don’t want my time back.
Winter holidays, then.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was agony, with the anti-German message. Long.
The Wind in the Willows killed my spirit partially. Long.
Cats, actually – Short? Simple? Hell, writhing torment; Heaven, hot air balloon?
I had a cat weekend. ‘Cats’ Saturday, ‘Kedi’ Sunday.
One of the things about musicals could be,
that you have to ready a person that you are going to sing at them.
Here, music from the word go- didn’t have that prob.
Interesting question- if, this one slipped through my fingers, and it was like I’d recommended it, what sort of person would bring me to bear on the matter.
