i agree, but that some of this stuff was so paint-by-the-numbers even with an uncommon premise is impressive.

I paid $27.99 for Spiderman on Amazon Prime. I want to get the latest one for my students as a reward.
For one class I frankly had to turn it off since one autistic kid with an assistant objected to it since they said their mom didn't let them watch Spider-Man because his hand would do this.
So no one got spiderman.

is going to the library while the rest of the class watches a thing your parents don't want you to watch no longer an option? that's what jehovah's witnesses got to do while i was in school.
it's weird and/or funny that the mom is objecting to the spidey salute but not the gimp suit.

The kid is so autistic he has an aide take him class to class and sit with him all day. Taking him to the library while the rest of the kids watch a movie is both discrimination and a change in routine that he would flip out about.
maybe the rest of the kids could go watch spiderman in the library while the kid and his aide stay in class.

I would be a permission slip at that point.
Arachnophobia 7.5/10, invasive spider horror comedy which would have given me nightmares as a kid. Coulda been 15 minutes shorter. Jealous of all the characters who got a spider bite and died in 1 minute.
Idiocracy, I finally worked it out, its not a comedy, its a horror film.

i know we shouldn't compare that movie to rl as the memes go, but it's getting harder not to when the expert (as much as the protag qualifies) is tossed into a battle arena to appease the mob. what's wild into two terms of trump is that president camacho can admit when someone knows more about a thing than he does, and listen to advisors. he would be an upgrade.

lol, lmao even.
lol, lmao even.
Lloyd Webber has vociferously criticised the film, saying Hooper did not consult those involved in the original West End show and saying “the whole thing was ridiculous”.
In 2021, he called it “off-the-scale all wrong” and said the experience left him so “emotionally damaged” he became a dog owner in an effort to recover.
lol, i'd forgotten about the butthole cut drama. easily the most entertaining part of that film was the humor found online.
people i know enjoyed cats '19. i've given my opinion when asked. you can be blind to the graphical mess, maybe there's a glimmer of hope. but i really don't get why you would put this on more than once when you have the '98 cats to watch instead.
dench puts it kindly. nobody set out to make a bad movie.

the creator of the cats musical being so traumatised by the film that he had to get an emotional support dog is just too funny, you couldn't even script it. high camp. brilliant.

Well I thought it was OK, still waiting to hear someone give a rational explanation of what was 'wrong' with it which isn't just opinion and bile.
Cats was first performed 45 years ago, do people doing remakes generally 'consult' people from that long ago?

the person who created the fucking musical hates it from the top down and you're still claiming its critics are irrational and full of bile? lmao. yeah man, i'm sure *checks notes* andrew lloyd-webber is irrationally biased against Cats.
and, yes, if you're making a remake or adaptation whose entire prospect is essentially a rollover of the success of the previous person's work, it's considered tactful and polite. authors of books are generally consulted on the movie or netflix adaptation - even if the producers do eventually fall out with them and get sick of humouring them on set.
judi dench is probably one of the most experienced and respected actors in the world working today. she said it was a stinker. wouldn't she know, having spent umpteen thousand hours of her life perusing scripts, being on set, doing press tours, etc.? i'm sure a person with over 60 feature films and 125+ acting credits on stage, radio, and tv has a pretty good sense of when a project went well and when it ... well, when it went Cats.

The material?
The direction?
The acting?
The pacing?
The choreography?
The characterisations?
There's literally nothing anyone can point to as actually being wrong about it.
