LLOYD IS IN LEGO FORTNITE AAAA HE LOOKS SO COOL I LOVE HIM SM

[itskateak]

(Preface: this is a really long post as I typed it as I was watching the movie so this is unedited, pure thoughts as I was watching this movie.)

I just started watching the new Cats movie and I’m already having issues with what’s going on

Why did Munk spider man his way down a wall

What’s wrong with Misto

Why don’t they just crawl on their knees Jesus Christ if they weren’t on their toes it would be better

“Are you mean like a minx” that’s not in pitch

ThatS NOT HOW JUMPING WORKS

The choreography is going good though- I knew it would. I’ve worked with that choreographer before.

WHY IS THIS NOW A POP REMIX

I have so many questions

Music is too fast. Tempos are everywhere.

Singing isn’t too bad. I can understand the words better.

Munk is a little too feminine for my taste at the moment but I like his design.

ROMANTICAL CATS (heart hands) IS THE MOST ON BRAND MISTO THING YET

Macavity speaking and singing his own song is disgusting

WHY DO THEY HAVE HUMAN TOES AND FINGERS

Why is everyone bullying Misto

AND HUMAN NOSES

Munk there’s a rhythm to the Naming of Cats. You can’t go off it whole everyone else is on it.

You guys can’t keep a tempo can you

HIS name. HIS.

Munk that’s a little sexual. NO YOU ARE WITH DEMETER STOP

stop cutting the scene up. Just let them dance.

AH REFERENCE TO ORIGINAL CHOREO. I SAW THAT

Misto is on brand except he’s not Misto yet storytellers

Also I’m liking the idea that Victoria is new to everything and the plot is they’re introducing her to the wild and the whole heaviside layer thing

THATS NOT THE MELODY MUNK STOP

they have human eyebrows too what

Munk that note is too high for you

Is Jenny twerking excuse me

JennY IS SUPPOSED TO BE MOTHERLY STOP THAT

that’s also not the melody

The human mice are going to cause nightmares

Wait is Jenny lusting after Munk

Why does he actually look interested

Munk do you have an English accent or American. Please decide.

Jenny that’s not the right notes

HUMAN ROACHES NO

WHY DO THEH HAVE HUMAN FACES

The skiN UNZIPPED OH NO

no one needed that undershot of cockroach crotches

Mm meow

huh what Tugger what was that

Okay Derulo is not bad at all

I’m missing the Tugoffolees banter though

This Tugger is a little gayer than the original

THE NEUTER JOKE OH MY GOD

Tugger is reminding me of Dr. Frank N Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show

Why does he have an English accent though

VictoriaaaaAAAAA? (The TOES)

Jenny’s humor is eh. Don’t see the reason of putting that in.

The ending is pure Tugger though

Not a bad rendition

Grizz isn’t as rough as I imagined her looking

Oh her VOICE

HER VOICE HITS HARD

Who is this cat singing about Grizz (the first) her voice was nice

NO. WHY THE SHORTNESS ON “that”

Munk why did you grab that queen’s head

Edward Hyde is that you?

Jenny stop trying to be the comedy relief you’re too awful at it

Bustopher please STOP singing your own song

PLEASE KIDNAP HER IDRIS ELBA

THANK YOU

I wish they spent more time dancing since that’s really the point of the show and the draw to it.

Bustopher wearing heels? I’m for it. Gay legend.

“Thanks Tugger” stop this whole sequence please

Bustopher is supposed to be a very prim and proper cat. What happened to him

Still can’t get over Idris Elba being in this

THATS NOT THE MELODY OF MUNGOJERRIE AND RUMPLETEAZER

What have thEY DONE TO THE MELODY GOOD GOD

AND THE RHYTHM THEY DESTROYED THE SONG

Oh. Hey that’s pretty neat choreo though

“I bought that for her myself” “hey” “what?”

My brain is rebelling because it’s not right at all in anything I remember

Did Misto just pull a whole femur from his hat

STOP THAT. MISTO LOOKS LIKE A CLOSETED TWINK STUCK IN A STRAIGHT RELATIONSHIP

is he wearing eyeliner

GROWLTIGER IS BACK

I don’t actually know his song so this is new to me

Jenny and Bustopher being comedic relief hurts because they’re not funny

Munk “where have you been?!” Is there a love triangle happening. What happened to Demeter

Also his voice in Deuteronomy is actually really nice

“Sits in the suuun” that was beautiful oh god

Deut looks more like how I imagined Grizz would look

IS THAT DAME JUDI DENCH

I bet she regrets ever saying yes after this.

What cat is randomly wearing a crow skull around their neck. Is that a witch’s cat

JUDI DENCH CAN’T YOU ACTUALLY SING? WHY ARE YOU STRUGGLING

Why are you singing Munk’s line

Oh the Jellicle ball is next let’s go Andy show me that awesome choreo

Asparagus are you okay

Tempo doesn’t exist in this movie does it

Neither does rhythm or time keeping

IS THAT MY BOY SKIMBLESHANKS

Twirly boy Munk

Munk really just wants to be topped doesn’t he

WhAT WAS THAT TWITCHING AND THE PANTING

Andy I love you man but the traditional and classic choreo would’ve worked just as fine

Skimble and Munk being gay

what happened to Plato and why is there something going on with Misto

TUGGER YOU HAD A MOMENT YOU COULD HAVE INTERRUPTED

Ah okay I understand why that happened. No mating dance or slumber party

Cats wearing shoes disgusts me more than the toes

POINTE WITHOUT POINTE SHOESSSS GROSS

honestly? Jellicle ball is disappointing. They just cut the ten minutes of amazing dancing down to like four.

I don’t like the heavy breathing. That’s not something that was ever necessary.

Okay, the end worked okay with the big synchronized dances.

I’m ready for this Memory rendition. Already getting chills.

Those are very human hands

Oh keep with the rhythm I beg of you

Ooh altered verse

Wait that’s jennifer Hudson???

Oh we just removed a whole verse, bridge, and chorus didn’t we.

Sweet moment? See I like Vic reaching for Grizz

Vic gets a song??? Ooh intrigued

I like her voice

I’m going to cry this song is sad and I’m glad she gets a story

Though it’s kind of “you think your life is hard? Mine’s worse” feeling after Memory

Awww I’m gonna cry what a sweetheart what a lovely dear protect her

Ugh meaning of happiness. I hate this song no matter who sings it.

Wait what happened to Rumpus Cat song :( the battle of the pekes and the pollicles

What do you mean you’re about to make the choice

We still have Gus’s song, Misto’s song, and Skimble’s song.

They got Ian McKellen to do this?? How much was he paid

“Cross paws” no stop

Why is Gus singing his own song please don’t

Munk’s face bugs me for some reason

His song always makes me cry for some reason but this is kind of goofy and cute and I love it

Misto in the background is just strange for me

Is he forgetting the words sometimes and mumbling to fill in because goodness

Misto’s so eager to please what a bottom

“Macavityyy” I hate it

Munk starting Skimble’s song has the same energy as Tugger doing Misto’s songs

I’m glad they’ve kept this song the same as it was

Skimble is SO gay oh my god what a classic twink

Oooh I like this addition of the train getting started via tap

I’m actually really liking this rendition and the tap dancing on the the rails

Though the tap continuing when no one is tapping or the rhythm being wrong is uh not good

Such an iconic song and I love the changes in scene

Oh skimble that note was not good

WAIT OKAY THAT WAS MACAVITY’S DOING WITH THE LEVITATION

Oh hi Taylor Swift

Use more breath. Stop doing the pop voice thing. Stop it.

Is Bombi a drug dealer

MISTO BEING TWEAKED ON DRUGS IS THE FUNNIEST GODDAMN THING IVE EVER SEEN IN THIS LIFE

I can say though that what they’ve done to the song is exactly the vibes it needed. Sultry and pushing the boundaries.

Sad there’s not a Demeter.

SORRY MUNK WHAT WAS THAT

I actually rewinded to see what happened there with the martini glass

OKAY MAN NEEDS TO BE TOPPED OH MY GOD

“Green house glass is broken” was changed and that makes me sad

This was a good song for Taylor to show off her vocal prowess but she just didn’t

Why is Macavity naked

Why is he singing his own damn song

PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON

Munk you’re still tweaking out a little

Oh here’s the sleeping orgy

What’s with this drama now with the choice thing

We don’t have Munk’s fight with Macavity. Robbed

VICTORIA YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE TO GET MISTO OUT THERE. IT HAS TO BE TUGGER

If there are no 23 spins, I’ll throw my phone

Munk that’s gay and I’m here for it. Encourage your twink Misto

“Please don’t make me do this” has phantom vibes

Munk that was a lusty look

Where’s the “ooh ahs”

This is weird without Tugger singing it and being an ego for Misto

Tugger come on. Please save this number.

Victoria I swear to god I will beat you

Why do they have one person on the melody in this. And Derulo going through the stratosphere

WHERE IS THE DANCING >:(

That trombone is playing absolutely nothing in the music at all

DON’T YOU DARE KISS HER

oh here’s the fight music

WHY DID WE UNZIP SKIN AGAIN

oh they used the fight music for the escaping of cats

How much longer is there

Oh there’s the daylight reprise thing

I want to die

To the sun, Vic. To the sun.

Munk, Tugger, be respectful. That’s your mother.

Wait that doesn’t work in this universe because Deut is female.

Oh they gave the Asian cat patterns that resemble tiger stripes hmmmm

Why couldn’t they have just filmed an actual stage version and turned that out

Oh that “smile at the old days” was god awful

How much longer oh god

I’m tired man. I wasted 6 bucks on this

Victoria just stealing Jemima’s parts

“Like a flowER as the dawn is breaking”

Okay here it is

OH COME THROUGH QUEEN. WHOLE FILM IS WORTH THIS CLIMAX

Okay so there are some cats wearing clothes and others not. What are the rules for this universe. Are they naked or are they not.

I have not shed a single tear. Usually I have by now from this show. Not a single tear.

Deut X Grizz is still my favorite ship

Is that the intro to Til I Hear You Sing that I hear. Those F to Gm chords Lloyd Webber loves.

Judi Dench stop trying to sing for the love of god.

Ah yes show off that beautiful ballet dancer that plays Vic

Aww Munk bowing to Grizz

Oh so it’s a chandelier this time and not a tire

Where’d Macavity and Bombi go

Oh there he is. What a child. Hate that.

BUSTOPHER CONFIRMED A GAY ICON

Deut being a proud mother to Munk is cute with the hands on the shoulder

Why are we reprising the first song

Also Air balloon.

WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME JUDI DENCH

why are they all staring so intently at her too wait

Munk looks like someone is touching him inappropriately this whole scene.

Munk and Misto looking at each other

MUNK STOPPPP JESUS CHRIST DO YOU NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE SITUATION

The choreography doesn’t even match the beat of the song. Huh???

Misto you’re gay stop

Munk and Misto looking at each other and the shy glances away

So Grizz gets hot air balloned to death is that what I’m seeing

Oh it’s over okay

I want to cry.

It’s not as bad as I heard. Once you got used to the way things looked and just let things happen and say it might as well happen, it became a bit more enjoyable.

It’s still god awful though and let’s pray the furries never get ahold of it.

#making new friends.

Hi Ariel,

 Hope your new year went well. Lately I've been catching up with the Modern family series up to season 4 so far.  When I was checking out news about the actors a few of the newest headlines about you attending UCLA came up and interviews and such. You've done a great job which is kind of a unique thing to be chatting with a 19-20 year old I know only of as a 14-15yo. The Hollywood Reporter interview contained some things I found unique and I've had the experience of commenting into hollywood about certain stars. The one that comes to mind is the original Anakin Skywalker, Jake Lloyd.  Personally I feel he has an identity difficulty in credit only as a child star that hollywood might not let him breakout of in another role, his own role.. matured, for his own sake. Lloyds run in with the laws and high speed chases cause me concern that deep down inside he might crave the identity given to another actor for the other two prequels.  

 How this relates to you is the matter of the politics of typecasting and how it affected you. Its great you want to help abused and emotionally strained kids, it is. Its my purpose to contact you as a successful whole and intelligent person willing to get closure on her biological childhood. One day you might choose to start your own family. Its my suggestion that at this time you don't have to be a charity case with your time to specialize in changing what already happened for childhood offset. Maybe in twenty years you'll feel that the character Alex is more a mockery of how good a student you were or weren't (under circumstances) trying to reason a sense of norm with your kids.

The red carpet will probably always invite you. What hype is made of it by paparazzi is for hyping sex trophies and not females.

 I see a similarity between your 'unveiling' the early twenties Ariel and the way Hannah Montana's star felt obliged to twist their image almost to a bipolar limit with new cleavage decisions and probably unlicensed candid video of twerking. So there's that and then there's your comments that you didn't really want to network in college. It was all about learning and being coldly bolted to books. Its my concern you envy the Alex character and even she wanted to have her "Raven" friends and perhabs be the center of her social circle. Apparently the interview said you were taught to distrust girls and see them as enemies and competition; I'm saying the unhealthy pushing people away might still be a factor. If your mom made you the jealous obsession of her dreams fulfilled, of course she'd treat your age peers like distractions and 'problems'.

 The most important thing I felt to effort was to feel healthy about what career you go into and take a path that revives a sense of normalcy. Generations of women have taken to being caregivers and nurturers. It can burn people out. Maybe for now the caring for damaged kids isn't best for you; remaining the canary in the coalmine lobby. What you feel must be an outlet of the matter will naturally be (at least one of your) microphones. As there are other people like your mom and worse, you don't have to spend your time being her/their janitors. There's going to be a graduation from your child star. People don't like facing their own age and they take it out on celebrities; as if you really offered a shoulder to complain to. Its infact many of your haters that need a counselor to really find out who they are and why they're such knobs.

 Some might think taunting your nerd character might somehow be attacking that archetype in society to make girls "easier" at that age. Plenty of celeb porn is up there pasting child stars faces on adult stars bodies. I'm not sure how that’s different from making Hyland , a 20 year old, play an underage teen. If guys pick up on her being 'legal' then it somewhat drafts your character into being sexualized with arbitrary age perceptions. My background is gender anthropology and exercise sciences.  A very juvenile 42 years old btw. Maybe you have a few critical concerns of the industry as well that might make you a powerful policy maker and addressing washington DC.

 Best of luck in studies and your college experience. Friends come in good and bad packages. Some girls really are assholes. Maybe you are a child star but you don't necessarily know everything about what college should be for you. Make as many new roads as you want. Frustration will shake everyone eventually. It won't just be your early childhood stresses and trauma. The worst case scenario is one of your parents die during your degree program and then it'll well up a bunch of old things you didn't need to deal with. The brand new car (closure process) that drives off screen,.. into the future….  *crash, and springs and gears bounce back into the scene. There's a physiological reaction to all that but dwelling on it ultimately resolves to wasting time developing your future.

    Tabloids are owed nothing to prove yourself to. Sheesh, a bunch of legal voyeurs who procrastinate chasing life for themselves. Who owns these tabloids? Brazen articles slamming celebs are pretty much their cry for help until some good chap like Alec Baldwin runs them over with car. #OnTheRoadToDecency. In closing.. Lots of people believe there's a lot of carpe diem available to you. That’s probably true. A bit more on street smots is necessary to not be the 'carp' in media pool of cheap attention and owning your day. Closing the spigot a bit on hollywood medias use of your time is okay and healthy. Ever more is learning to manage making life be on your terms and the people in it. How do you feel about an antitabloid biz that digs up the columnists dirt? A student club that brings paparrazi's smug character out from behind the camera to face what the public thinks of their trash talking. #Suggestions. Something to keep you busy and fellow students motivated for good reasons.

 My hellos to the cast and crew of Modern Family, It’s a great show..

 Kind regards,

Michael Bench, MEP, GCERT

Even a logistical nightmare can ruin the best R&B lineup ever with Soulquarius.

While the rest of the world had put their partying eggs in a New Orleans beignet basket with the NBA All-Star Weekend, I took my happy black self to Los Angeles for Soulquarius. Touting one of the best festival lineups these eyes have ever laid eyes on, it was too good to ignore or pass up. As I dragged my body back to Houston early Sunday morning, I looked back with a small amount of remorse.

There was no way someone could ruin that, could they? There’s no possible way you could screw over a paying customer base with a lineup that boasted Erykah Badu, DMX, The Internet, Jhené Aiko and more. Not a lineup with The-Dream, Too $hort, The Pharcyde, Mya, Ameriie, Pretty Ricky (!) and more could fail. The kind of thinking probably made Soulquarius organizers think about money first. “Sure, let’s keep selling tickets to this swollen already music festival,” they probably assumed. “$100 tickets? No problem. VIP being $200? Shit, we gotta get this money!”

That kind of logic is what doomed and ruined Soulquarius for many an attendee. People cried because they missed acts. The merch tables served as a turnstiles for whether or not you wanted to partake of overcrowded hell or slightly crowded hell. It’s how a person could miss Lloyd while waiting 40 minutes for Monica and their sets were no more than 10 feet from one another. A logistical nightmare saw the following things happen, unbeknownst to anyone in attendance.

A List Of The F*ck Ups At Soulquarius, Not Ranked

Brandy Went From Mid-Day Performer to Closer: Nobody knew how Brandy and her handlers may have finessed Soulquarius or the other way around. But Brandy closed the Observatory Stage when she was supposed to be on the House Party stage – 30 mins before Monica took the main Soulquarius stage. Those who even caught Brandy were lucky. Those that wanted to couldn’t due to the Observatory also booking a 6LACK after-party in the same venue.

The Outdoor Stages Were Doomed By Set Issues: Vocalists and bands will be quick to point out sound issues. Monica knew her mic was bad but still soldiered on. The Internet’s drummer was visibly agitated but still teamed to put on a show. R. Kelly & Erykah Badu spent two hours apart, causing the festival to end nearly at 1 AM rather than 11 PM.

VIP Doesn’t Mean Shit: Here’s what you got for paying $200 for a VIP wristband to Soulquarius: alcohol, a cabana tent and a wristband. That’s it. No primo standing space closer to the stage, nothing. You know who else could join you in the cabana tent and got access to alcohol with a wristband?. General admission festivalgoers who only needed to show ID. Yeah, VIP isn’t very important if people who paid $80 more can feel ripped because those who paid anywhere from $85-$110 can get the same perks.

General theme of the night: “I want my money back.”

The Odyssey Of Getting In: It’s a maze to cover the Observatory parking lot. It’s an even longer trek to try and maneuver between thousands of people, all in disorganized lines trying to get into a music festival. Some waited as long as three hours to make their way through the massive throbbing organism of twenty-somethings who wore their best club attire for a 50-degree festival. Even as I walked out of Soulquarius, I grimaced when I saw people were still in line, albeit for something else.

I Almost Died At A Pretty Ricky Set: So, for anyone needing a visual idea of how the Observatory’s indoor stage works it goes as such. It’s a 1,000 person venue that feels like a condensed version of Fitzgerald’s or even House of Blues. After Ameriie finished her set and Pretty Ricky began theirs (unable to perform “Grind With Me”), people attempted to file out. Well, imagine 400 of the 1,000 people inside trying to leave through one exit upstairs and creating a Lord Of The Flies situation where fisticuffs seemed to be the best possible means of survival. Imagine me seated on a couch trying to charge my phone. Now consider people trying to jump over me while still on said couch to get out. Some poor woman almost got caught with a Rock Bottom, I’ll leave it at that.

Let’s keep it simple – had there been no issues in terms of logistics, Soulquarius would have been an amazing time.

The Actual Good of Soulquarius

Ari Lennox‘s “Backseat” sounds just as intoxicating as it does on record and Ameriie delivered a more than spirited set, nerves be damned. The Ying Yang Twins proved that America’s great unifiers are two things: G-Funk & crunk music. I’ll never lose the memory of grown women, white, black or otherwise singing twerk songs at the top of their lungs. Skipped, dancing, constantly moving. All the crooners from Lloyd to Jon B to BJ The Chicago Kid delivered vocally, serenading the ladies with material old and new.

DMX prayed for people and ran through a medley of greatest hits, because that’s what DMX does. Too $hort played in the afternoon because of course he did. Had Short managed to get a set during the night time, a hole in the freaky space time continuum would have occurred.

Walking into Santa Ana on Saturday, I didn’t pencil myself in as a fan of Willow Smith. Once she was finished with her mid-day set on the main Soulquarius stage, I was enchanted. A thin, yet improving voice, Smith sang records from her new album, a distorted version of her first big hit “Whip My Hair” and a political track “November 9th” that she created after the election. Her father, Will Smith was on hand. Sporting grays in his beard and hairline, the former Fresh Prince had become graceful cheerleader.

At least he found total happiness under the sullen sky of Orange County. The musicians attempted to win Soulquarius by sheer force. Even they ultimately had to understand that it was a fight only few would find joy in.

We endured #Soulquarius Saturday afternoon. It was a glorious mess: Even a logistical nightmare can ruin the best R&B lineup ever with Soulquarius. While the rest of the world had put their partying eggs in a New Orleans beignet basket with the NBA All-Star Weekend, I took my happy black self to Los Angeles for Soulquarius.
