it's odd that even though it's still a comic about dustin being lazy the bar is so low that i can reasonably think it's a vaguely okay joke because it's not hostile to him in some insanely passive-aggressive way

The plot of Cats is very straight-forward and easy to explain. The cats are competing in a talent contest, but the evil cat is cheating by kidnapping the other contestants. There's a lot about it that's weird and hard to explain, but the plot is easy.

When the trailer for the movie came out and everyone crowed about it I was nonplussed. Like, have you ever seen a production of Cats? It looks pretty much exactly like that. I've not seen the movie but as far as the plot goes, well, it's stitched up from a bunch of Eliot poems by Andrew Lloyd Webber:

Of course it doesn't make much sense. Have you ever seen Jesus Christ, Superstar? If you didn't already know the story you'd have no idea what was going on.

Anyhow.

Because this is phrased like a defense but you're not actually making it sound any better.

No, not really trying to defend it. I was more that I thought everyone already knew that ALW's stuff (and Cats in particular) tended to the freaking weird, so some of the reaction I saw to the movie surprised me. Just a bad assumption on my part.

That said, if you have the ability to see a decent production of Cats (I saw the Broadway tour quite recently), it's worth watching for the utterly barmy spectacle of the thing.

I haven't seen any version of Cats but my impression is that a good movie adaption of it would just lean into how weird it all is. You can't normalize it! They're horny cats singing to earn the right to die! Just roll with it!

I liked Cats. I'm not saying it's a good movie, but it won me over. I enjoyed my time at the movie theater. And as was mentioned earlier, it's a weird play. The movie was always going to be weird. Trying to make Cats a normal movie for a normal afternoon out was never going to work. They had to go balls to the wall bonkers, and I'm glad they did.




"Hey, Gunt, how you doing? How's Bets? I saw you guys goofing around on Insta, you seem to have a lot of fun together. You look super close. Is it getting serious?"

OH NO SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!!!!

And yeah, none of that straight out asks, "You guys having sex," but depending on how he's been answering the previous questions, you could pivot into it from there.
