I’m OK with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar, and I really do like his Phantom of the Opera—and that’s about it for me with Lord Webber. So my pleasure in Cats (1998) is what you’d call limited. This isn’t so much a film in its own right as a reasonably intelligent filming of the stage show by David Mallet, who specializes in doing that sort of thing. He’s very good at it, too, assuming it’s the sort of thing you like. My own take is that these make nice souvenirs for fans of the shows, but they’re neither the show itself, nor are they film adaptations.
The good to be gotten out of this incarnation of Cats will depend entirely on your fondness for the stage show. As noted, my own take on the material—not to mention the Kiss-concert look of the cats (more creepy than not)—precludes unconfined joy from this corner. However, if you do like the show, this is probably the best way to see it, seeing as how it’s no longer being performed on Broadway.

Mr. Hanke, I’m debating whether to tell you about yiffing, but I’ll probably leave you with what little remains of your innocence….
Can you even explain it on these boards?
Don’t say I didn’t warn you, you crusty voyeur.

In my youth, I’m pretty sure this kind of…this would have landed your name in an F.B.I. file cabinet.
I don’t care how liberal we are. Marriage is between a human and a human!

Oh, I knew what furries were, I just didn’t know there was a specific term for their conjugal frolics.

As I’ve said for years, I’m not bothered much by gender, but I do insist on remaining within my species.

Man, you’re further gone than I ever would have imagined. Is there a significant Anthro community in the Carolinas?

So now you know. And knowing is half the battle!
Is there a significant Anthro community in the Carolinas?
Now, that I don’t know, though there’s one person of whom I am extremely suspicious. But seeing as how I don’t believe this person could get a date in Portsmouth on a pay night, I don’t envision much in the way of a community.
This all brings new meanings to names such as “Rum Tum Tugger.”

OK, that’s plain disturbing…but I bet you can get a website going on that concept.

Is this going to be one of those things where you go searching and I end up with a link?

Ken…do you really need experimental validation of Rule Thirty-Four? Seriously?
Just to erode your cognitive processes a little further, I present…oatmeal, as you have never seen it before!

OK, that’s disturbing. Glad it wasn’t Cream of Wheat.
