A Stoned Seth Rogen Live-Tweeting ‘Cats’ Is the Distraction We All Need
Tom Hooper’s Razzie Award-collecting, feline facepalm-inducing film Cats hit digital rental platforms yesterday and, in an act of true self-sacrifice, a stoned Seth Rogen decided to tune-in and live-stream his viewing experience. As you might expect, the results are gold.
Rogen is clearly like all of us right now, diving deep into his personal vault of ‘how to stay sane in self-isolation,’ and already he has emerged with results that I hope all movie critics will take on board. And, once you read his Twitter monologue — which jumps from admiring the cats’ kicks to observations on how low-key fucked it is that Judi Dench is wearing a cat fur coat in a world full of them à la Buffalo Bill — I’m sure you’ll feel the same.
Watch the deeply disturbing Cats trailer below and keep scrolling for Rogen’s amazing review.
Also the scale is bizarre. The behind the scenes features, which are amazing, said the set is 2.5 times scale but that would mean cats are like 60 pounds in real life!

Judi Dench is in a cat fur coat which I can only assume is socially APPALLING in this world.

I have a hard time getting actors to rehearse for like 20 mins. They got these people to train to lick their hands and rub them in their hair for weeks!!!

CG cat people dancing is odd. Is it impressive? I don’t know!

Like why even make these actors show up on set? They’re playing cats.
