[hot-take-tournament]

One of the people who submitted the take that Cats 2019 is good (the longer version). I have read some of the comments and would like to respond:

-I have seen the stage show multiple times, both the 1998 proshoot and the 2021 touring show. The stage musical is obviously superior to the movie, and my take did not assert otherwise. However, I felt it was unfair to compare the stage show and the movie, as they are different mediums with different expectations.

-I have never liked the melody used for the stage version of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. It's too jerky and hokey and makes the lyrics harder to follow. The movie's melody is a lot smoother and easier to follow for me.

-I have watched the Sideways video explaining why the music in the movie is bad. His points were all true, but ultimately do not detract from my enjoyment of the music on its own. Also, Beautiful Ghosts is not a terrible song. It's not even in my top twenty worst Andrew Lloyd Weber songs.

-Jason Derulo was actually good as Rum Tum Tugger and I will die on this hill. I hope he gets a chance to try it again in the stage version.

-The added material was about what I expected, tbh. Was it handled gracefully? No, but it served its purpose and was ultimately harmless.

-Someone brought up the idea that Bumbalurina was a victim of Macavity's. I know this is a popular theory within the fandom, but as it is not in the actual text of the show, I don't blame the filmmakers for choosing to go in a different direction. This is also true of any other characterization choices--even in stage shows, those are left up to the interpretation of the director and performer.

-I do agree that James Corden and Rebel Wilson were terrible and Jenny Anydots is the one song I cannot defend. However, they're in the movie so briefly that I can happily ignore them.

Obviously, this is all my personal opinion, and I am aware that the very few people are going to agree with me; that's why it's my hot take and not my comfortably agreeable take. I should also note that I saw the movie in theaters while drunk, which greatly added to the experience, and the last movie I had seen was The Lion King 2019, which is definitely so much worse. (But this has gotten long enough so anyone who wants me to explain that will have to ask me about it on my own blog.)

'rum tum tugger'...?

[missing-sock-misto]

2, 8, 10, and 17 for the jellicle asks?

Yay!

2. Favourite Song Cat

Mistoffelees 💖. My boy, my darling, my precious.

8. Favourite Makeup design?

Hank Santos’s Tugger. Oh my god, I love it so much, look at him!

He already fits so well as Tugger, with a rather stronger jaw. But his makeup application is 🤌. Like, the delicate white fringes around the muzzle, the bright white under eye marks along with the subtler light patches along the eye socket translating so well to maine coon eye markings, the dramatic eye wings. But my favourite details are the GOLD elements on his nose, cheeks and lips 💛. They translate so well to the saturated orange elements on a lot of brown tabby cat’s faces, act as a subtle highlight, and is just the type of flamboyant flair that is perfect for Tugger. I immediately adopted it into my Tugger designs and if I write him wearing more dramatic stage makeup he puts gold on his face. Love it.

10. AUs you like

I will shout out two fics, @thunderwhenhepurrs and @katzenprinz ‘s fic Song and Dance, which is a must read Rockstar/Ballerina Tuggoffelees fic set in London. Actually SUPER influential in how I view and interpret the characters. And honestly, I like ‘modern city, functionally human au’s’ a lot. It stops me from getting thrown by a strange word choice or anatomy thing XD.

And also @was-there-ever ‘s fic Wicked, through and through, which is a CATS Wicked Musical crossover. Wicked was another hyperfixation of mine for YEARS, and I thought this crossover was very intelligent, following the plot of Wicked enough to be recognizable, and filled with clever references, but also unafraid to change the characters and plot so it wasn’t trapped by the original materials. Basically, a great au, much more than a simple reskin, which can be a risk for crossover aus. (Ngl, I actually think it handles Wicked better in some ways, by functionally combining the characters of Glinda and Fierro to create Tugger. I always found the Elphaba/Fierro romance kind of weak, so by pulling elements from both characters, I felt the story was more streamlined. And it actually made me like Firerro more by proxy, which is quite the feat 😂). Plus, it has some FANTASTIC fanart by @its-that-horrible-cat .

17. Do you have any OC’s?

Honestly, no? OCs never really appealed to me. I get enough from the dynamics of canon characters that I don’t personally feel the need to create a new character in order to explore the stories I want to explore. (Plus, I project enough on Misto and Tugger combined that I don’t need to create any sort of self insert XD). No shade to anyone who creates OCs obviously, anyone who enjoys that form of self-expression is great! But it’s not for me.

Thank you for the asks! 💜😁

Alright, going to do this already.  Note: these are my personal opinions.  Intelligent rebuttals will be considered and replied to, anything else may likely be ignored.  Also spoilers, and LONG.  So onward to a comparison of the 2019 movie against the 1998 filmed stage version.

Edit before posting: Apparently I never queued this.  I feel a little silly now

Plot/Framing:  The use of an abandoned Victoria to frame the introduction of the plot of the Jellicle Ball and Munkustrap acting as narrator/guide to Victoria is a decent idea, and one that worked fairly well.  Granted, when you take a book of poems and turn them into songs, it’s a little hard to create plot for a musical, but inspiration comes from everywhere.  Victoria is a pretty blank slate for directors to work with, so having her be the framing vehicle is a really good idea.  She’s the white cat, the dancer, doesn’t have any specific lines of dialogue or song attached originally.

I think that Munkustrap didn’t have enough presence in the movie.  He’s the primary narrator, he needs to be someone we want to pay attention to, not just because he’s the one who happens to be singing or speaking at the moment.  Maybe it’s a difference in how the two versions were filmed, and the focus was a little more on Victoria as our window into the world of Jellicle Cats, but I didn’t catch myself looking for him, or even noticing him in some shots, and you want your main source of information to be someone/thing you’re aware of, if only to see the mood of the scene.

“Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats” and “The Naming of Cats”: I thought the pacing was a touch fast, but I can understand trying to get all the material of the musical to fit into a film.  Same with the cut lines here, and it did flow very well for the most part.

Having each cat introduce themselves via their song, and thus their entry into the competition for the Jellicle Choice, is interesting, and it does give a reason for not doing either the songs “The Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles,” or ��Growltiger's Last Stand,” as they are the Jellicles entertaining each other in “play within a play” scenes.  It also gives Growltiger a reason to be a villian/henchman of Macavity’s, by using a snippet of his song during one of the capture sequences.

“The Old Gumbie Cat”: I was not happy.  Rebel Wilson is an amazing singer and actress, and I was very much looking forward to her interpretation of Jennyanydots.  What I saw was a petulant, whiny brat, instead of the example of Edwardian do-gooder.  Also, the mouse costumes were ridiculously bad, and the replication of the cockroaches was just showing off CGI work for no real effect.

“The Rum Tum Tugger”: No.  Why would you use this version, it’s a trainwreck?  And the music choice made no sense!  Jazz by itself would have been fine, but as far as the hip-hop/rap elements go?  Are we trying to make the timeframe screwy?  I miss the rockstar Tugger.

“Grizabella: The Glamour Cat”: Alright, Jennifer Hudson is amazing.  That said, I don’t think she made sense as a casting choice.  Grizabella is older, she’s past her prime and her singing should have more of that age and grit to it that shows her experience.  If you’re going to use someone younger, at least put some convincing age makeup on her, and choose a singer who has a huskier tone.

“Bustopher Jones”: James Cordon did a very good job to make this about more than a cat who eats his way through life, though I’m not sure about his scavenging through the trash.  He’s supposed to get huge amounts from the gentlemen’s clubs he attends, I would have thought the proper attitude of “the St. James’ Street cat” would not allow for his digging in the garbage.  And the sensitivity about his weight was stupid.

“Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer”: Perfect.  The mischief makers in their element, and Victoria having to deal with the fact that they can be not nice cats, it works.

“Old Deuteronomy”: Judi Dench was an interesting choice for the role, but it works.  There are some slight differences that come with having a matriarch for the Jellicle tribe instead of a patriarch, and they were handled with grace.  It also is a way to give Dame Dench a role in Cats that fits her experience, since her injury during the rehearsals for the original London opening meant her planned dual roles didn’t happen.

“The Jellicle Ball”: The dancing was nice, and I liked the way several other cats became more than faces in the crowd during it.

“Memory(Prelude)”: Again, I just don’t think Jennifer Hudson has the age for this to work.  Beautiful rendition though.

“Beautiful Ghosts”: A Victoria solo.  Huh.  It makes sense, given that Victoria is the primary viewpoint character in this version, for her to have something of her own.  And it’s a pretty little song.

“The Moments of Happiness”: It doesn’t have quite the impact it should, since the only real witness to Deuteronomy is Victoria here.  It works better when the entire clan is being given this lesson, even if most of them don’t understand it yet.

“Gus: The Theatre Cat”:  Ian McKellan, ladies and gents, in a role that suits his age and expertise?  I almost don’t miss Jellylorum.  Also the lead up to it, with him giving some words of wisdom to a fellow performer?  Yes, and yes!

“Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat”: The vocals and dancing went very well, but I kept getting distracted by the costume.  What’s up with that facial hair and the suspenders?  Also, the way the scenery shifted during this song where it never had with any other Jellicle performance.  More questions than answers here.

“Macavity: The Mystery Cat”:  Hoo boy.  Where to begin?  Making Bombalurina one of Macavity’s cronies sits a little funny with me, but I understand the logistics behind the choice.  The one place though, the one place that lyrics should absolutely have been changed in the entire show and you MISSED IT!?!?!?!?  Idris Elba is not a ginger cat, there is no way to make him a ginger cat, and you didn’t try to make him a ginger cat, so why does the song define him as one?  You couldn’t try, I don’t know: “Macavity’s a midnight cat/ He’s very tall and trim”?? Instead, you call him ginger, and thin.  Ugh.  Also, as much as I love to watch Elba, a lot of the threat of Macavity in the musical comes from the fact that this is the first time he’s been openly on stage, and not just a shadowed figure hiding along the fringe.  Using Macavity often earlier in the movie, having him spirit away the other competitors for the Jellicle choice so obviously, damps down on that.  Shadows crank up anticipation better than overt threats most of the time.  The stage version creates a scarier Macavity, though I’m sorry to say it.

The use of catnip is kind of hilarious as a drug, though I’m a little sad there was no fight between Munkustrap and Macavity, and that the Jellicles all came under Macavity’s power so easily.  Little annoyed that Griddlebone and Bombalurina seem to just melt away after the song, but understanding not wanting to use T Swift for “lesser” plot type issues.

“Magical Mr. Mistoffelees”: Mistoffelees is adorable here. This show is as much him coming into his powers and abilities as it is introducing Victoria to what it means to be a Jellicle.  His attempts, as he tries again and again to bring back Deuteronomy, are laced with just enough desperation that he’s trying his hardest without making it overacting.  The final success, when he’s sure he’s failed utterly, is so very sweet.

“Memory”: Same critique as before.  The thing about Grizabella’s songs is that they are reminiscing.  Looking back on a more golden youth.  Crying for understanding that those without experience in the shades of gray life throws at you won’t have.  It’s significant that Victoria (or Jemima, depending on the rendition) reach out to her, but Deuteronomy is the only one who has no problem with her, even from the get-go.  You need someone with either a hell of a shitstorm life experience, or just plain experience to get that.

“The Journey to the Heavyside Layer”: I liked the transition of the broken chandelier into a balloon carrying away Grizabella.  Little confused at Macavity’s loss of power, but okay.

“The Ad-dressing of Cats”: Deuteronomy addressing the crowd certainly brings the magical nature of cats to the fore, leaving the audience wondering how long she and the rest of the Jellicles have been aware of our view into their world.  I liked how when she was describing the food gifts a person can give to their cat, all of those surrounding her got excited.

Costuming: Just bodysuits and CGI ears, tails, and whiskers do not turn people into convincing cats.  The giant wigs of the stage show, while an 80′s throwback to the extreme, also change the profile of the face to better mimic a feline skull.  I get it, having that poof would have been annoying with having to deal with the CGI ears, having to compensate for every fur twitch, but still!  Also, nobody’s fur had any significant fluff amount to it whatsoever, it was all extra elements, like the coats and other accessories, but you could have used the legwarmers and armwarmers of the stage show give a better illusion of volume to fur.  Having everyone be sleek shorthairs is boring.  To my mind, the makeup was not convincing enough either.

Final thoughts: The movie version was okay, casting choices were decent for the most part, but I have to say that all together, I prefer the 1998 version.  It could also be that the actors for the filmed stage version had been doing these roles for some time and it shows, especially in movements.  Don’t get me wrong, the movie actors are good at their jobs, but there’s a difference in living a role for months or perhaps years during a stage run, tweaking things each performance, research and changing your approach, and making a movie, trying things only to have to move on to the next shot.

A Basics Guide How to Successfully Handle Materials

In any manufacturing and logistics project, material handling is crucial. The worldwide material handling market is anticipated to reach 127.26 billion US dollars in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3 percent. Although tugger trains and carts are used to move almost all physical goods in commerce, there is a wide range of material handling solutions, so you should choose the best one. There are several steps for successful material handling management. Understanding how to initiate, carry out, and administer a successful material handling project is crucial given the intricate material handling procedures required in transporting containers and loads. However, this is the most effective strategy to cut costs on material handling projects while ensuring that the construction site has the precise gear required. Automated machinery has a reputation for being an expensive and dangerous investment. You may learn about the types, concepts, and designs of effective material handling systems from this guide.

 What core values guide material handling?

-          Orientation

This idea encourages evaluating any potential system relationships before doing any initial planning. It could also involve a review of the issues and practises already in use.

 -          Planning

Planning should include the fundamental needs, backup plans, and other preferable alternatives. A collaborative strategy including consultants, suppliers, and users is necessary for successful planning. Additionally, it should support concurrent process layout, design, and engineering of the product and be in line with the strategic objectives.

 -          Systems

This rule should incorporate handling and storage operations that are effectively incorporated into the system. The complete supply chain, including suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, and customers, should be taken into account when integrating systems. The technology should make it simpler to identify commodities and reduce inventory levels without compromising order fulfilment.

-          Ergonomic

This aims to modify work and working environments in accordance with a worker's skills. To achieve efficient and secure operations, material handling activities and design must take human capabilities and limits into account. Strenuous and repeated tasks, which are the main causes of strains and sprains, should be eliminated by the equipment.

-          Unit load

A container, tote, or pallet are examples of a load that may be stored or moved as a single item. Regardless of the separate components, it is a single burden. At every point in the supply chain, unit loads should be properly structured and proportioned to meet inventory and material flow goals.
