7 Things I Have To Say About The "Cats" Trailer

In This Article:

The trailer for the adaption of Andrew Loyld Webber's famous musical,"Cats" hit our screens this week and it was horrifying. Here's a list of things I have to say about the contents of that nightmare.

The ending shot

The ending shot of the trailer looks postively awful.It just sums up those whole movie in one shot. The shadows don't match with the cats and they all look the same from the back and sides. Because they were all face swapped in, you can't tell whose who unless you're right up on them, making that ending shot look like a bunch of faceless cats are coming to kill you.

Fat Humor

This is probably the least humorous part of this listicle. Why does the trailer want me to laugh at Rebel Wilson and James Corden, but not Idiris Elba and the slimmer members of the cast? Hah, hah, laugh at the fat people fall down and be in pain, but the skinny people are serious! What sort of weird body shaming is this?

Tone, what tone??

Ties into the last one. Between the comedy and the drama, it's like the trailer can't decide what it wants to be. The fact that there are so many youtube music videos with horror movie music over the trailers...And they work. The tone is so jumbled that I have no idea how to feel between the fat people humor and Jennifer Hudson's heart wrenching rendition of "Memory" .

Human noses???

I just. I don't understand why they don't have cat noses. The stage production gives them whiskers and what not. WHY

DO THEY HAVE HUMAN NOISES

The Furries Don't Even Like It

I'm serious. AV Club interviewed Furries and oh boy, they were not happy with this uncanny valley either.

Why Do They Move Like That?

I know what they're going for. It's supposed to be feline or catlike or whatever. But I want to put "The Sims" burglar music over Idiris Elba and Francesa Hayward looks like she's moving in slow motion

How Much Did They Pay These People?

Seriously. Jennifer Hudson. Taylor Swift. Judi Dench. Jason Deluro. Idris Elba. Rebel Wilson. James Corden. Francesa Hayward who went on sabbatical from the Royal Ballet to do this movie. How much did they pay all of you?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
