Cats (2019) is worse than Doctor Who (2006) even though the show was made with the budget of a crisp packet

[reystars]

the sound of music is so iconic

like

the nuns roasting maria in three part harmony

‘the dress. you’ll have to put on another one before meeting the children’ ‘when we enter the abbey our worldly clothes are given to the poor’ ‘what about this one?’ ‘the poor didn’t want this one’

all seven children bursting into tears at dinner while Maria sips her tea

‘God bless whats his name’ (ten minutes later) ‘KURT! that’s the one I left out! God bless Kurt.’

maria passive aggressively praying about Liesl as she climbs through the window

tbh Captain Von Trapp dragging everyone around him at every possible moment like

‘you flatter me captain’ ‘oh I’m sorry, I meant to accuse you’ *AIR HORN SOUNDS*

‘I’m not finished yet!’ ‘OH YES YOU ARE, CAPTAIN.’ … ‘FRAULEIN’

liesl rolling her eyes at kurt during the blueberry/strawberry scene

honestly the love story I didn’t quite get as a kid but I’m SHOOK

when the baroness is trying to get the captain back on track but he just interrupts her and is like ‘there’s no use’

BUT WHEN THE BARONESS SAYS ‘well, she’ll never be a nun’ the look of SHOCK on his face like it honestly never occurred to him that Maria was in love with him too

so of course hes like ‘I must find her and kiss her immediately’

Von Trapp ripping the nazi flag in half like YES BINCH

THE MOST UNDERRATED SCENE THOUGH IS AFTER THE NAZIS RUN TO THEIR CARS TO CHASE THE VON TRAPPS AND THE SCENE SWITCHES TO THE TWO NUNS

‘reverend mother, I have sinned’ ‘I too, reverend mother’ *they both hold up coils from the nazi’s cars*

anyway this movie is the best and I love it

have i ever told y’all about the greatest moment of my academic career

i was a freshman in college and i had this history teacher who was ~edgy~ and his hotness level on ratemyprofessor was off the charts and he was the first teacher i ever heard use the word “fuck.” anyway he would do this thing every so often where we’d have a “quiz” and the first two questions were always really easy and the last one was hard - they were all similar questions, and the point was to show what you learn about history and what you don’t. 

so one day he’s like okay kids time for a quiz and the first question was who killed abraham lincoln. the second question was who killed JFK. third question was who killed william mckinley. 

we all take a few minutes and write down our answers, and then the teacher asks the questions again so we can shout out the answers. everybody answered the first two with really no problem.

now, keep in mind that this class was at 9 a.m. and i was exhausted All The Time during my freshman year of college so i sat in the back in my sweats and never said a word and the teacher definitely had no clue who i was. 

so you can imagine his surprise when he asked the class who shot william mckinley and without missing a beat i said, “czolgosz,” pronounced correctly and everything. 

my teacher froze and in a very stern voice asked, “what was that? what did someone just say?”

i repeated: czolgosz.

my teacher: “who said that?”

i raised my hand, and my super cool history teacher glared at me. he then asked me how the hell i knew the answer. he said that in the TWENTY YEARS he’d been teaching this stupid class, nobody, not A SINGLE PERSON, had ever known the answer to that question.

i then had to quietly explain to a room full of people that there’s a musical called assassins and there’s a song about czolgosz shooting william mckinley at the great pan american exposition in buffaloooooooo (in buffaloooooooo)

I have really strong feelings about Broadway composers so here’s an alignment chart

Hey y’all this is me with the pink hair. I’m the dumb bitch whose weirdo memes you seem to have liked over the years. 

I don’t usually do anything here on Tumblr I stay in my lane but right now I’m trying to get signatures for a cause that’s really close to my heart. A lot of very close friends of mine have turned 21 and we are learning about how dangerous the bar scene is for young women. I’ve had friend been drugged, groped, and harassed. Some amazing women in this photo and I have decided to petition for bars in the Boulder, Colorado area to get free bystander training. BlueBench (a non-profit that will give free bystander training to bar staff) recently opened an HQ in Denver and if we get enough signatures we might be able to get their attention and the attention of bar managers here in Boulder. 

If you could please click this link: https://www.change.org/…/safe-bars-a-pledge-for-safe-bars-i…

It takes 5 SECONDS I swear. And this is not a scam this is change.org. I even sent this link to my mom so this is legit. If you don’t want them emailing you just unsubscribe after you sign. Easy peasy.

Thank you so much!!!

“RENT is a Christmas movie,” I say into the microphone.

the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“she’s right.” I look around for the owner of the voice. there, in the 2nd row, stands Anthony Rapp himself, in a scarf and filming. it is December 24, 9pm Eastern Standard Time.

I know it’s 2017 and this is all far beyond said and done but

Cats is a really bizarre fucking musical

[thebibliosphere]

You’re not wrong.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

OKAY WHAT GETS ME more than the plot or anything else is that there are absolutely no solid rules for the way cats exist in relation to humans in this story world.

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser are able to go into a family’s home and essentially torment them by means of petty thievery, and the family just brushes it off with “it’s that horrible cat!” And then they move on!! So you think, alright, so in life the cats look like regular cats, and humans don’t give them much head.

But you would be WRONG because MACAVITY is out here breaking “every human law,” and his exploits are being investigated by SCOTLAND YARD. Macavity has apparently literally killed a man. Maybe more. Almost definitely more. And also, he steals the milk from people’s houses.

And when the police show up to a crime scene “Macavity’s not there.”

Why does he need to flee? Would the police actually suspect a cat when they show up to a murder scene? Is Macavity the true scourge of Scotland Yard? Or are all of the cats just exaggerating??

I NEED ANSWERS, ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER!!!!

[waffliesinyoface]

All the other cats are regular cats but macavity is actually just a furry

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

I HATE THIS!!!!!!
