Millions of people around the world are getting pretty crafty while locked up in quarantine
due to the Coronavirus spread, but leave it to Seth Rogen to entertain us all as he live-tweeted
his experience watching Cats while stoned out of his mind.
What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News, and don’t worry, Clevver
isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just going to be working from home to do our part in preventing the spread of
Coronavirus.
Alright, now let's jump into this story…
Alright guys, this one’s definitely worth a listen, so here’s what all went down last
night…
Seth, who has never been one to shy away from the fact that he regularly smokes weed, had
himself quite an interesting night on Tuesday while practicing a bit of social distancing.
He took to Twitter to let his fans know that he decided to watch the film adaptation of
the Broadway musical ‘Cats’ for the first time, and with his comedic wits and a little
bit of weed, his tweet spree was everything we could’ve imagined and more.
But really quick, I do have to mention that this movie received a MASSIVE amount of backlash
and critique as it scored a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes, and if that isn’t any indication
of how much of a box office bomb it was, James Corden, who played one of the cats, revealed
on his Late Late Show that on a scale of 1-10 of how much he regrets doing it, he went with
a 5.
Alright, now that you’ve been warned, back to Seth…
Seth kicked off his wild night by tweeting QUOTE, “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.”
I’d be willing to bet Seth is in the same boat as the majority of America on what a
jellicle is, BUT it doesn’t matter because we haven’t even gotten to the good parts.
He began to point out what much of the world did when first watching the film, noting details
like some cats wearing pants while others aren’t, the way they move, and the fact
that there are legit 35 songs introducing cats.
Perhaps Andrew Lloyd Webber also took a puff before creating this masterpiece?
Just a thought…
Seth then continued watching and pointed out that everything from the scales on set to
the cats’ completely disproportionate bodies are trippy to say the least.
He wrote, “Also the scale is bizarre.
The behind the scenes features, which are amazing, said the set is 2.5 times scale but
that would mean cats are like 60 pounds in real life!”
And in another tweet, which blew our minds even more, adding, “These cats are like
2 feet tall in this world.
That’s a huge fucking cat.”
Honestly never thought I’d be having cat nightmares amid a global pandemic, but here
we are…
Anyway, many characters began making appearances throughout the movie, which led Seth to notice
interesting facts about some of the actors…
His tweets read, “Jason Derulo’s feet don’t look like they’re touching the ground”
and “Judi Dench is in a cat fur coat which I can only assume is socially APPALLING in
this world.”
One thing Seth was especially confused by was the fact that they actually had to go
to cat school, and judging from his experience directing films, he said, “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!!!”
Other little takeaways from Seth’s review included cats wearing Chuck Taylors, a human
milk bar, and despite her frowned-upon fur coat, how cuddly Judi Dench actually looks.
Pretty fair assumptions, if I’m just being honest here.
Naturally, fans were in hysterics over Seth’s tweets, as many came to realize that this
was no ordinary ‘bake sesh’.
One user wrote, “Oh so you BAKED baked.”
Another user made a comical Coronavirus joke saying, “Do you think they had to unlearn
the licking after?
Because that's not COVID-19 approved at all.”
That’s either too soon pr too accurate?
But then one person tweeted some Socrates-inspired philosophical wizardry that even threw me
for a loop and I’m not even the slightest bit faded.
They said, “They lick their hands?
Wait, would it be "hands" or "paws"?
Cats have paws, but actors in this film playing said cats have hands.
So which is it?
This is a deep philosophical question, guys.
Like that old thought experiment, Schrodinger's...
OH MY GOD Y'ALL!
It all makes sense!”
Yeah, I’m out.
Seriously though, there were a lot of really deep, insightful questions and details that
Seth made, so I’m gonna go think about all that while watching Cats and practicing my
social distancing.
I do wanna hear what you guys thought about Seth’s Cats tweet spree, and if anyone can
tell me what the heck a jellicle is, I’m legitimately curious, so get the conversation
going down here in the comments.
