  • I was a fan of the musical long before the movie, and the movie was meh. The celebrity performances ranged from yuck to average, and the attempts at added humor were way off.

    But I can’t see how it could be translated into a movie much better (I missed Growltiger’s last stand, and felt Beautiful Ghosts detracted from Memory as the emotional peak). Dancers in tights would look ridiculous (and we have the 1998 “movie” for that), and any more realistic cats would remove what little remains of the physicality on film.

    So no issues with the maligned CGI, would watch again, no match for the adorably ridiculous stage show.




  • Got excited enthusing about watches I thought are cool. Very long and deraily for the original topic. But in summary I think there’s a factor to the dance of advanced mechanics, so to say, and the deliberate absence of contemporary smart functions. A “soul”, if you will. Someone showing you their watch can be like them telling you their favourite Linux distro, it says a lot about a person, and just having one suggests they may be “my people”. 😅

    Though Rolexes are imho fugly often gaudy pieces that do have in-house movements but it clearly isn’t their main selling point. Please don’t use them as an example. I don’t know what the Linux equivalent would be, ChromeOS?
