Cats

Quite why anyone would take a short collection of comic poems and turn them into a musical let alone a film is beyond me.

It has made rather a lot of money, so I guess some people might like it. I'm not sure that intelligence is necessarily an indication of artistic appreciation.

I was not sure if this would be good enough for Monday Links. So here goes: -

“The most incredible cinematic experience of my life.”

“The most terrifying experience of my life. I swear to God my soul escaped me.”

“Cried both times. Planning on going two more times.”

“Vomited four times but ultimately understood the film on a deep level.”

Saw the stage show back in the 90's with Elaine Page - some good songs, rubbish show. Won't be watching the film.

Have seen pretty much all the big shows and they have all lived up to expectations except Cats. Each to their own - art is subjective, but in this case, it's not for me.

The book is quite good though.
