About to see CATS.

I don’t often see movies because they’re supposed to be terrible...but when I do, I make it a movie that’s supposed to be EPICALLY terrible.
I just hope I won’t traumatize myself like I did the time I saw the last Alien movie TWICE because I’d promised I’d see it with Steve...and I’d already seen it without him.

CATS is so bad. It broke me.

I literally had tears streaming down my face. I was still laughing like a lunatic in the bathroom stall afterward.

Me in the third act trying not to laugh so I wouldn't "ruin" the movie for someone near me who might be enjoying it
I'd seen it on stage. I liked the music. But translating it from stage to film...so many things went wrong.

I feel so bad for the actors. Dame Judi Dench deserves an Oscar nom just for her ability to shine through her makeup and tell me with her eyes "It'll be all right child"
CATS is so bad that it’s a spectacle.
I get it if you’re wary. BUT a true spectacle is best viewed on the big screen...so if you can get in the right head space...maaannnnnn.

I wouldn’t see it again. But it was everything I was hoping for. And more. So much more.
CATS is a dog.

But it's also an instant camp classic.
I was still chuckling over CATS as I tried to get to sleep. I felt that laughter in my chest.

I just wonder if during the shoot someone like Cockroach #2 was thinking "maybe this is really bad"
