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

[deactivated12345678765432-deact]

okay everyone buckle the hell up cause I'm gonna nerd out to you about the makeup they used for this episode.

Yeah that's right I SAID MAKE UP

Everything from the top of their head to the end of their neck

purely intricate, beautiful makeup

(by the very talented make up designer Sheelagh Wells who is the only one to have worked both on doctor who in '63 and new who)

Each shaped individually to each actors face and able to pick up each micro expression we still struggle to produce with cgi to this day without it looking wrong or plastic

everything from the small cheek movements to the eyebrows to the nose crinkle, the actresses is able to act as if she usually would.

By not having to restrain her face to act in one peticular spot or with nothing but small motion capture dots on her face, means she can actually bounce off the more realistic reaction to the other actors performance rather than if they just said "right well pretend she's a cat and we'll add it in later".

and sure, okay, I'm not gonna lie to you, the main reason the nun cats were made to be nuns was because it meant that they could cover up as much skin as they possibly could to save time in the makeup chair, because like op said, they truly did have the budget of a crisp packet

but hey, if it works

IT WORKS

Yes, each actresses sat in the makeup chair getting the extensive hair and make up done for HOURS, but ultimately the sheer amount of detail they were able to add to the characters by doing this made it worth their while.

THEY ONLY HAD A BUDGET OF AROUND £800K PER EPISODE at the time, in 2006 FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING LOCATION ETC

Imagine what these make up designers would be able to do with A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE BUDGET

There’s a hidden level of brilliance in this moment:

Chef Boyardee is known today for his cheap out-of-the-can pasta, but in his native Italy he was a renowned expert chef. He was reduced to the face of microwaveable eateries after his death.

Sound like anyone else from this movie?

[ketchuprocket]

Chef Ettore Boiardi, known today as Chef Hector Boyardee, was a key player in keeping poverty struck families fed for a low price, before he ever came out with the canned pasta line. He would jar his sauce in milk bottles and provide bags of dry noodles for families in Cleveland, Ohio’s Little Italy sector. It was during the Depression, and pasta could be made in large portions at a low cost. This was the start of his venture. 

After years of success, he eventually opened his canning facility, opened his restaurant “Il Giardino d’Italia” in New York, and helped feed the Allies during the war. Everyone always glazes over this part of his life, especially the Cleveland part. He lived here. He DIED here. He’s BURIED HERE. My mother took care of him at the nursing home she worked for in her early 20′s when he was ailing and spoke of nothing but the kindness he and his family radiated when they were there. Chef Boiardi was an immigrant with a dream and was always there to help those in need, because he knew what it was like to be in that position. Never let that go.   

[jabberwockypie]

I had thought he was a fictionalized mascot, like Aunt Jemima or Betty Crocker, but this is really interesting.

“Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name Chef Boy-Ar-Dee so that his American customers could pronounce his name properly.“

And if you have a name that isn’t “standard” in America, that is a Mood.

Transphobes on Twitter have started the tag #TransMenAreNotWomen.

No, that’s not a typo.

[radiqueer]

when you’re so transphobic you support trans people by accident but you don’t know enough about transness to course correct and it’s too late anyway

[lines-and-edges]

[queerfarmgremlin]

this reminds me of that one conservative Christian page that tried to be transphobic to a trans woman and ended up affirming her womanhood 😂

[thegreenpea]

This had so many turning points I had to take 3 minutes to understand

[commander-ledi]

reminds me of that one time when some transphobe popped up in my inbox to yell at me about now matter what i tryto do, i will never be a woman because its biologically impossible. im a trans guy.

[underneath-the-skin]

Transphobe: “YoUll NeVEr bE a ReAL woMAn!!”

Trans guys: “oh sweet”
