This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

It was a very popular stage play and as far as I've seen the film seems accurate.

Just don't watch it, maybe, I know I won't, and I saw it live on the 80's.

No matter if you like Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals or not, Cats is a weird one even for him because it's basically a poetic dance revue with some musical-esque bits in it. It also has basically no plot and definitely no classic narrative, it's more about the themes and cats dancing to them.

How the hell they are gonna make a 2 hour Hollywood movie out of that with their CGI abominations I'm clueless about, but I sure as poo poo am looking forward to the trainwreck.

Yeah, the whole play is about which cat gets the permission to go to Cat Heaven. The vast majority of the runtime is them all introducing themselves to plead their cases.

I didn't realize Cats even had a plot. I thought it was like Anything Goes, just the thinnest of plots to showcase some musical numbers?

Oh, and on behalf of the psychedelics community, there isn't an amount of drugs that makes this enjoyable. It's a difference of kind, not quantity.

its more than a little vague, but iirc it's pretty heavily implied they serially reincarnate until they make the Jellicle Choice and ascend to the Heaviside Layer (though they're born into a new life there? idk)


its a really weird production

You are exactly right, it has barely any plot. It's all more poetic and thematic and poo poo. That's why seeing it adapted as some big Hollywood production likely shoehorning in some plot is hilarious to me.

It's one where you absolutely have to be in the right mindset for it because it's very esoteric. If you generally like musicals, you'll probably enjoy it. If you generally dislike musicals, you'll probably experience a murderous rage. Personally I like it enough but I wouldn't say it's the best musical ever, and it's certainly not the most accessible work ever produced.

Musicals just seem corny and contrived, ime. I mean they get some following and charge stupid money on broadway but I’ve never got it. I wonder what the Tony ratings are. I think that where they hand statues to each other for them.
