The Draw Play
A football comic by Dave Rappoccio
Your normally scheduled comic will appear tomorrow, so check back then.
I have a lot I need to process.
I heard there was a showing that allows people to take their dogs and I also heard people high or on lsd really enjoyed it. That said I will never see it high or….
That looks like a movie that you should ONLY see after at least half a dozen drinks.
I started reading the comic and could swear it had something to do with the reports about the Giants requesting permission to interview the Clapper.
I think I’ve gotten more entertainment out of seeing people scarred by Cats than anyone got out of seeing Cats.
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I’m a Browns fan.
Life is a waking nightmare.
Dave, I would think this would be one of those times where you have to break out that time-honored comic tag of yours.
You know, the one that says ‘what the hell is this shit Dave’.
I bet he wanted to ask that in the theater
Dave, why would you DO that to yourself?!? Even I don’t hate myself enough to see that!
Im a Panthers fan bro. Help me. We get carried every week by CMC
What do you think of the Joe Judge hire? Did you watch the press conference? I was uncertain of him until I watched, now I hope he succeeds and has a long Coughlin-like tenure with the Giants.
Hands up if you thought this was going to be about the Bills game/Bills fans.
Honestly I expected Joe Buck. Thank god I was wrong.
Could have been worse. Could have been the Robert Kraft video.
Don’t you dare put that thought out in the universe. *shudder*
Or worse yet Joe Buck narrating the Robert Kraft video.
Now that’s what you call a genuine disgusting act.
AND THE BLAST IS………………………………………………………..CAUGHT……………….IN THE FACE FOR A SPOOGEDOWN.
Cats’ insanity comes in short moments and in fits and starts. I actually thought it would be much more consistently weird going in to the theater, but you spend much of the time waiting for song after song to finish before moving to the next truly weird moment.
But those truly weird moments, when they happen… they more than meet your wildest expectations.
I legitimately thought this was going to be a Joe Buck body horror comic.
Oh god Dave why…. let me guess, the SO wanted to see it?
Cats was already hella weird as a musical and if anyone else had writen the score it would probably have bombed spectacularly instead of becoming one of the musical evergreens….
On the bright side, judging by the promo stills ive seen they used a portion of the CGI budget on….. uhhhh…. “enhancing” Taylor Swifts character in certain areas…. which makes the furry vibes even worse…. but hey, its 2020, you do you, I aint judging you filthy furry perverts^^
Nah, it was my idea, got some friends together for a hate-watch
I have a film degree, I’m pretty interested in complete disasters that still make it through the system somehow
How do you think it compares to other horror shows like The Room? I’ve seen dedicated fans of terrible movies testify that they could not stomach Cats.
I don’t think it is a fair comparison to put it with the room. It is a different kind of failure. The room was an incompetent nutjob who funded an indie movie with simple story intentions without knowing what he was doing. Cats is a big budget film made by competent people who somehow ended up working on an idea that was fundamentally broken from the beginning.
Imho adapting musicals into films is generaly a terrible idea. Those 2 media just dont seem to mix, essentialy you could just film a musical performance on Broadway and you would have the same result as in a dedicated musical movie (assuming you stay somewhat true to the original story)
But since “My fair Lady” every 5 to 10is years the studio execs seem to think that they could land yet another blockbuster sucess by making yet another musical to film adaption. Most of them are just boring and unremarkable and the production is kinda iffy: film stars usualy cant sing well enough to carry the singing parts and the studios wont bankroll the film if you give the main roles to the original musical cast (or other trained singers) so you get the movie stars named credit but often the singing is dubed over. And as i wrote in my original comment, Cats is already waaay down the uncanny valley for a musical with all the fur suits and cat dances and whatnot.
But since i havent seen the movie yet, i gota ask Dave. Did they butcher the story? The singing? Or is it just the CGI being hella weird? Or a combination of all of the above? And what do you mean by the idea being fundamentaly broken, like adapting Cats at all or?
CATS is a show that doesn’t have a plot. It’s just a bunch of cats singing about themselves and a lot of silly dancing. It’s the kind of nonsense that works for theater but horribly for a movie.
The CGI being weird and poor directional choices (too many close ups, bizarre editing during the dance numbers, inconsistent size dimensions) just compounded the fact that CATS was a poor adaptation choice to start with. Musicals are fine for movies, they were the hollywood staple for decades, this just was the absolute wrong choice.
Fie On Andrew Lloyd Weber! Fie I say! Autocorrect keeps suggesting die instead, can’t say I disagree with .it
Blech, I got dragged to see Cats as a theater production and I asked at intermission, “Is there actually a plot to this crap, or am I missing something?”
I thought this was about the Giants hiring Joe Judge lol
