Watching this much maligned film on Sky Cinema, just to see if it is as bad as the critics say. Well the verdict is that it is. Actors dressed as cats doesn't work on a film, where it may work in the theatre where people expect the limitations. Its such a shame to see decent actors like Judi Dench, Ian Mckellern and Ray Winstone embarass themselves in this rubbish, however from James Corden and Rebel Wilson I expect no better.

Interesting Robbie; I was thinking of doing the same; now I won't bother!

I lasted about twenty minutes and could bear no more.

Some years ago my mother, one memorable Christmas lunch, solemnly announced to the table (which numbered my then new girlfriend), as she produced a plate of "pigs in blankets" and Cats the musical was being discussed: "*Wyot* was a right tom cat when he was younger you know; but he's calmed down now, I think".

I do think the necessity for and timing of her disclosure could have benefitted from more consideration...

So you were like a bitch in heat that week.

I want to know why they think that Cats would on film - you wouldn't put Jason and the Argonauts on West End.

Rambo on the West End would be interesting?

I don't understand why anyone would settle for a musical, when so many wonderful operas are available? But apparantly I can be a tad "elitist" about such things.

Anyway would stay and argue the point, but I just have a few more pages of Ulysses to finish (again...)

I was looking at bookshelf and I was looking at the books I read when I was in my teens my favourite's were Biggles Billy Bunter and Three Investigators - which all three series might equal Ulysses in pagination.

Despite being slightly dated I did enjoy reading Three Investigators during lockdown.

How old are you, Green Man? Even I was too young for Biggles and Bunter.
