The official trailer for the movie Cats is out, and
the reaction is not pretty. Movie reviewers say they’ve never seen backlash
against a movie trailer that is so purrfectly full of bile. I haven’t seen the
stage musical Cats, but apparently it featured singers and dancers who
had faux cat hair flamboyantly glued on, especially on their faces. This movie
version features what look like humanoid cat creatures. Here’s your treat:
I could make a few remarks, such as: And it has _____
playing herself. But I don’t want to get protested.
So . . . if people do not really look like cats, it’s
amusing, but if people really look like cats, it’s creepy?
The funny thing is, my novel Alpha Shift
has a brief scene that mentions something like this. A previous excerpt is
here. My friends Erin and Grace can attest that I wrote this story before the movie
trailer came out. (This is the bad guy reminiscing.)

Derk’s vision clouded with those times in the suite prepared
just for him, with gin and vermouth in the precise proportions, and the women
over six feet tall dressed head to toe in their skintight furry outfits.

As you can tell, my story is a cultural treat.
