I don’t usually link a whole reddit thread but if anyone needs a laugh, and likes bad puns, check out this review thread for the abomination that is the Cats movie. Just the OP.
Watching CATS is like stumbling upon an unholy and heretofore unknown genre of porn. Every time these horny fur demons tongue a milk bowl and start moaning I was certain the FBI would raid the theater
Holy #### I’m dying. collider's matt goldberg:

Tom Hooper’s direction to his actors for this semblance of a plot was to act it super horny. That doesn’t give Cats a raw sexual energy as much as it makes everything incredibly uncomfortable... Cats always feels like it’s two seconds away from turning into a furry orgy in a dumpster. That’s the energy you have to sit with for almost two hours.
I can’t stop! This movie is gonna make history. The reviews are that good. I mean the actual reviews, not the movie. Tagged for swears. From twitter.
NSFW!

According to Reddit, this wasn't just some random guy on Twitter, but was actually written by David Farrier, who is a documentary director and has his own Netflix show called "Dark Tourist" (I've never seen it).

The really funny part isnt just that this review is hilarious and more than likely spot-on, but that pretty much anyone that lasted through 60 seconds of the trailer saw this coming from miles away.
Predicting the Cats movie was going to be a hairy, uncomfortable ball of furry suck is akin to Nostradamus predicting Winter.
Thanks for the heads-up tips.

Speaking of cats, I am trying to find a movie from likely the 80s or early 90s where there is a sideplot where the cat keeps dying and coming back. In one scene the cat gets into some drugs, starts comically racing around in a circle, then drops dead. I've tried a few creative searches on Google, but I'm not coming across anything.
Anyone recall this silly film?

Dark Tourist was great. A fun and weird collection of trips, and he's pretty funny amidst all the insane things he's experiencing.

Re-Animator? They bring the cat back to life and it keeps attacking them.

I enjoyed that series actually. You're obviously going to get the eclectic collection of freaks and weirdos but theres so much more to it as well.
Its tough to wrap your head around some of the cultural differences as well, we see people in Canada or the US jailed for eternity for selling drugs or or other offences and then there are guys who murdered swaths of people and now they're successful tour guides.

That wasn't it, but I just found it. It's Madhouse from 1990 starring John Larroquette and Kirstie Alley.

Last night we watched Peter Jackson's They Shall Not Grow Old(it's on Crave/HBO). I kind thought it would be a bit of a slow watch and maybe take it in over 2 nights, as I thought it was mostly clips. Well was I mistaken. What a fantastic movie.
Peter somehow assembled all these old clips, colourized them, and tells a captivating, engaging story, from the outbreak of war to the conclusion, only using voice overs from soldiers. It's a feat in editing I couldn't help but compare to Dunkirk(and the comparison did not fare well for the later). He had what he had to work with, and managed to assemble it into a cohesive narrative. You felt like you were amongst the trenches with mortars exploding around you, corpses left where they died, rats scurrying by, water, and mud everywhere. This felt more like war than any other movie I have seen, not the manufactured exposition of Dunkirk and so many others. There is no substitute for the real thing.
So well done Mr Jackson. Given the style I'm not sure how I'd rank it in a movie of the decade list, but it would definitely earn a place in the top ten. Go see it.

Boy, even the Globe's review for Cats is vicious, and they're pretty polite most of the time.

All nine of my lives passed away while I was in the theatre watching Cats. If you were worried that Tom Hooper’s musical adaptation wouldn’t live up to the wild uncanny valley promise of the trailer, rest assured, it does. These are live-action cats with the poorly VFX’d faces of celebrities who only sometimes act like cats, and the resulting effect is not what God intended for this world.

I saw it early in the summer and I was floored by it. I second your recommendation.
