When you watch the trailer for Cats, you think this musical looks beautiful. I cannot wait to see it this Christmas.
Then you remember that it was one of Manhattan’s biggest mysteries. People wondered why it was the longest-running musical on the Great White Way when almost everyone who saw it, hated it.
I grew up in NYC, so I went to plenty of Broadway shows growing up. Cats was the first one I hated and so did my parents. And we are cat people. Andrew Lloyd Webber has made some great shows and some awful ones. This falls in with the latter.
When it comes to Jennifer Hudson singing Memory, her singing is all power with no emotion. It is a showstopping number because it is the heart of the show. Not enough heart in her voice. The other problem is it cast a lot of A-listers, they are just celebrities that people find annoying. Not Judi Dench or Idris Elba, but you know who.
Before Judi Dench played several different Queens, she was the Katherine, Princess of France in An Age of Kings. How beautiful was 25-year-old in that 1960 performance?
Is it a Tom Cruise trailer if he is not running in it? I guess it is because he only walks in the Top Gun: Maverick trailer. However, he still feels the need, the need for speed in it.
He is just feeling it in a jet and on a motorcycle. Which is faster than running. I guess that is better?
When it comes to the trailer, it looks like it is going to be a total Dick Flick. Unlike the original film that also has romance in it. If it is going to be all speed, then I will not be going to see it on June 26th.
Women loved the original as much as men because it was an equal mix of Dick and Chick Flick. If they don’t do that again, it won’t be a classic like the original. It will just be another Tom Cruise film and haven’t we had enough of those? Same movie, different character name.
On a Cruise note, he will be on Conan tonight at 11p on TBS talking about this trailer.
On August 7th, Beverly Hills, 90210 is sort of back on Fox as BH90210. In honor of the premiere, you can celebrate the weekend earlier at the Peach Pit. You read that right! From August 1st until the 3rd if you are in LA, then you can go to the pop-up on Melrose to experience what the West Beverly gang experienced back in the day.
If you want to drink a milkshake, have a MegaBurger and enjoy some ’90s nostalgia, then click here to make a reservation. I am going to go there for lunch and the Good Burger one for dinner. I will be burgered and ’90s out by the end of the day, but it will be well worth it.
Did you know that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is airing its sixth season on Friday nights? Did you also know it was picked up for a seventh one that is going to air next summer? Nope? Then it won’t you surprise you that ABC announced today that show will not be back for an eighth season.
I guess with Avengers: End Game seeming like a natural end for crossovers and the Disney app coming soon, there is no reason to continue. I have heard it is good, but I am so over the comic book craze.
Funny how Marvel does better on the big screen than DC Comics that does better on the small screen.
