A Stoned Seth Rogen Decided to Live-Tweet Cats and You Can Guess How That Went

Cats is now available to watch on VOD, and given that timing, there is, of course, the lingering question: will people quarantining at home decide to watch it for themselves?

Well, a stoned Seth Rogen decided to finally watch it and, honestly, if you can’t bring yourself to watch the movie, reading his reactions might be the next best thing:

I’m pretty stoned and watching Cats. I’ve never seen the broadway show. It is truly trippy. Am I supposed to know what a Jellicle is? They’ve said it 200,000 times but I don’t know what’s happening haha.

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!

They made them go to cat school.

These cats are like 2 feet tall in this world. That’s a huge fucking cat.

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

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

Is magic cat a thing?

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

“Do it more like a cat!” – the director of cats. “You sure it’s not weird?” – actor in Cats. “Nah fam it’s fucking genius! People have loved this shit for decades! It’s perfect!”

Now they’re on the railroad tracks they seem way too small!!!

— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) March 18, 2020

Oh the cats of the railway train! Fucking finally!

Some cats get high heels which is funny to picture in real life.

Alright I’m turning this off and watching 90 day fiancé. Good night. Stay clean as fuck.

Also, if you’re wondering why #ReleaseTheButtholeCut has been trending on Twitter… er…

A VFX producer friend of a friend was hired in November to finish some of the 400 effects shots in @catsmovie. His entire job was to remove CGI buttholes that had been inserted a few months before. Which means that, somewhere out there, there exists a butthole cut of Cats
