Like an act of divine intervention, Tom Hooper's big-budget bomb `Cats` was made available for digital rental on Tuesday while the world is home alone and self-isolated, and thankfully, Seth Rogen took to Twitter to entertain us all by live-tweeting his surreal and `trippy` experience watching it.
`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,` Rogen said to kick off his 27-tweet thread. `How many times they say the word 'cat' in a this?`
Rogen was astonished that filmmaker Tom Hooper managed to get his actors to train so diligently on how to act and move like a cat, even pointing out that the actors actually went to `cat school` to learn.
`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,` Rogen said. `CG cat people dancing is odd. Is it impressive? I don't know!`
But it was the more specific observations that stood out, like that Judi Dench is wearing a fur coat, or that Ian McKellen legitimately has human fingers, or that Jason Derulo's feet don't seem to touch the ground when he dances. He did however refrain from criticism of Idris Elba, and for good reason.
