Bustopher Jones (James Corden) | Cats (2019) | TUNE

[@Ferrindel]

Making this song first person is definitely high on the list of this movie’s biggest sins.

[@slytherinson8302]

The 1998 is superior to this. This wast of a movie

[@Ferrindel]

@@slytherinson8302 I LOVE the 1998 version. Especially the fight scene. I actually felt for Munkustrap.

[@sibionic]

Another being the hiring of James Corden.

[@duncandownham4726]

​@@sibionici was going to say that too

[@CeltycSparrow]

AGREED. I know the other version has Jennyanydots singing parts of this song, and this version of her is positively PAINFUL to watch, but still. They took one of the most elegant and respected characters in the clan and made him into a fat joke. He IS NOT ashamed of his size...he's PROUD of it. They TOTALLY violated and misunderstood his character. He doesn't gorge himself with food, he goes to the best clubs and eats well and the other cats actually RESPECT HIM for being so fat because as a colony of strays, some are not so lucky. The only song that came close to impressing me in this one is Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat and MAYBE Memory. Not as good as the other version, of course, but not as painful as some of the other songs in this version. It felt like they were trying and it wasn't just sloshed together at the last minute.

[@PrinceFlynnRider]

If you had gone to this movie expecting to be scared shitless nonstop for an hour and forty minutes, and I mean nonstop, you would have thought it was the greatest, most genius piece of filmmaking ever produced.

[@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155]

Bustopher Jones and Jennyanydots in cats: respected elders. No fat jokes Bustopher Jones and Jennyanydots in this monstrosity: haha fat cats

[@CeltycSparrow]

I agree. They totally misinterpreted these characters. And the fact that they made Bustopher Jones HISS and be ASHAMED of his size is just insulting. In fact, the WHOLE SONG takes on a different meaning when HE sings it, compared to the ladies singing it. When the ladies sang it, it was an homage to his grandness. When he sings it, he sounds like a pompous pig.

[@Schuyler2614]

Bustopher Jones: You know that I'm sensitive about my size! Also Bustopher Jones: *Sings a whole song boasting about how fat he is and how he does nothing but eat at various clubs all day.*

[@kingsnorthlobotomy]

thats because in the musical most of the song was other people sing about Bustopher Jones, not him singing about himself.

[@Dim4323]

In the musical he was a chapterness.

[@foxteen8721]

I think a little proof reading of the script is in order.

[@regii420]

The musical is definitely preferred. The CGI isn’t bad, although some parts looked weird, but what did make the movie bad was the new plot and change in character personalities.

[@scoutart1508]

technically Bustpher had still the elegant personality and Corden does a solid musical performance (particularly/specifically his musical voice) fit in the role, although for the most part his portrayal is rather mixed due to most likely the ridiculous/cringy stuff he makes in here, and the story is still overall faithful to its source material yet at the same time it has a consistent narrative compared to the stage version, no?

[@chaupin5]

Cats is definitely the worst film of All-Time! Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood is way better than this film!

5:09 Behind Bustopher Jones there is a cat that missed putting on the cat's face and has the actor's acraa is on the right and then on the left side there is hardly anything but there is a drop where his face is Move

[@ProcInc]

I just don't understand how the lyrics of the song are about this is a cat from St James admired for his high-class eating spots and he's eating garbage It's a movie so they could have actually done hard cuts at the different restaurants and dishes..or just made it make sense some other way

[@marcd73]

That's actually a good point. I never thought of that but you are right.

[@ProcInc]

@Rotten On The Vine: Dark Fiction You'd be right to think that. In the original poem and the musical it's clear that he is admired for being g a cat that dines well. But the Hollywood treatment is such that the mention of the fact he is 'remarkably fat' is enough to give him the role of gluttonous buffoon instead

[@RedMadMichael]

I don't think you're quite right, lyrics like 'which is famous for it's winkles and shrimps' that were present in both the book and the musical were probably meant as in that they were thrown out remains behind the restaurant. He is high-class and all that but he's also a glutton

[@mdlkpprophecy6341]

​@@RedMadMichael yup a garbage near restaurants where employee dump the leftovers are fine dining for stray cats for sure, but this is not it.

[@pseudonymous9153]

He's supposed to be eating scraps from the clubs. He's a cat. Cats don't expect table service. Getting a clubs leftover scraps is the feline version of dining as a guest so it's still high class to them.

[@Stoneth]

All the weird pauses, the creative liberties and genuinely subpar singing from the celebrity actors makes this feel like I'm watching a grade school recital. But instead of feeling sorry for those involved after every misstep, I feel legitimate embarrassment that this is the best a production with a movie budget could muster.

If the Penguin was a cat

[@tomious4257]

[@jackquinn9599]

[@WhiteVioletButterfly]

They missed the entire point of this song. Bustopher Jones is the kind of social cat that gets fed, as in high quality food put out specifically for him on a plate, by every shop and restaurant on the street. He doesn’t dig through the garbage for scraps.

[@thefilmwatcher1216]

Why are these cats proud to be nodded or bowed to by this disgusting behemoth? He's the Cat-About-Town, not the Dumpster-Diving Cat. Also, why does he say he's sensitive about his size? The lyrics specify that he's proud of his weight. I think James Corden was an okay choice, because he actually has a good voice, they just needed to tell him to tone down the bad improv. He also sounds legitimately embarassed when he says the word cats.

[@dommitchell4319]

I just i why not why is it bad but why is the first part before he enters the house good why is the choreo wasted like this up until that point it's actually good. I like how into the choreo Munkustrap, mistoffolees, and all the chorus are. James even gives it a pretty decent go. It's just Tom Hooper has no fucking clue what he's doing, and honestly I could have told you that back when Les Mis came out. Like, the decision to make this sung by Bustopher is a stupid one, but at least James sings it well. Like, that 45 second section of song + literally the entirely of Skimbleshanks makes me so sad, because this movie could have been somewhat good, not because Tom Hooper is a good director, but because the choreographer and some of the cast actually *cared*

I really don't see why everyone hates on this movie, aside from the motion capture which was a little weird. Emphasis on 'a little'

[@heathersmith4042]

the choice to make the cats be humans CGIed into acts was an atrocious one. it made a post-production post that should've taken so much longer and cost so much more than it did, resulting in characters that are genuinely uncomfortable to watch. i normally don't even notice visuals that are 'off', but even i'm made uncomfortable by what's going on on screen, and the abundance of CGI needed means most of the dancing is also off. they also hired big names for the sake of hiring big names instead of hiring stage actors, so the singing is just almost always terrible. just compare rebel wilson's song to the original. the difference is night and day, and it's blatantly because rebel wilson isn't a singer. and she's not the only one. if you do a musical, and the "costumes" (CGI) are bad, the dancing is bad, and the singing is bad... what are you even left with?

[@flowtribe]

Obviously there is a ton of love for the musical which I respect. It wouldn’t be my cup of tea, but everybody picks their own flavor. That being said this is a horrifying abomination that is the visual equivalent to that feeling of having to vomit but resisting foolishly for like a min. Multiply that by however long this movie is .

Ya know. I want to like this movie but it just seems.....I can't get over the people as cats thing. This needed to be an animated situation. It would've made more sense. This is like Broadway as a CGI movie. It's just crossing lines that aren't even fun to see. I love the performers tho and they're definitely giving their all into it, but it's the makeup and costume to me that's ruining all this to me. All these performers are world class. Whoever this director was that thought they should be human cats in a live action moment should be fucking fired. Period. I feel like he had a vision no one else really wanted to see and not he hired world class performers? Man this is just giving this director doesn't understand Hollywood, but yes has a vision, and congrats on the vision, but not congrats on the making it work with Hollywood. I dunno. I can draw on my notebook and make anything. I feel like the director did that and got real true talent to sign up. Im just confused by how they didn't see it? I dunno. I'm done. Carry on. I dont have the career y'all have, but I do know this was not the best moment of any of your careers and I love you and can't wait to see your next project and I'm working on my next project too and yep. Okay Bye. And yes I'm embarrassing myself commenting on this travesty of a production. Shame on, well, all of you.
