The director promises it is not a gimmick, but integral to the theme of the story. Of course, we can assume that Pine was paid millions of dollars. Photo taken in 1918, 66 years before the time of the sequel. |

That's how far computers have advanced 300 years from now. Yet they were able to build a human looking and acting android that has AI. Pretty funny. If you take a risk, you may lose.

Even better. I was thinking of the 2nd one, which was 1986. In 79 there was Pong and that was about it. The CRT screen for Mother looked kind of like a Pong screen. lol If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

So maybe it will reap some money back in cult status. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Like everybody else is saying, the trailers were so bad how could the movie be good. It's getting some of the worst reviews I've ever seen. Bad costumes, bad lighting, bad acting. Horrible confusing story. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12422 | Cats is one of those movies I’m tempted to see just to see how bad it is. The trailers looked absolutely insane. How did this get made? Why did they have to use expensive CGI, why not just costumes like the friggin play? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Movies aren't made in a linear fashion. They film the start middle and end randomly as sets and locations are available. They don't know how bad it is till it's done. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | the dailies or rushes used to get viewed each night in the days of film and producers who were on the hook, now that it is CGI and funds are from some Chinese front, maybe no one watches the product anymore. |

These days a star may only be available for 1 week, they can't hang around a set for a month like the old days. All their scenes have to be shot back to back, and nobody knows what the final result will look like. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
