"Hal, it's about CATS."

This is Andrew Lloyd Weber's response to Hal Prince when Hal was trying to discern the real meaning of the musical, "CATS".

Funny thing is, this response works for the internet as well.

At one point he says that someone in the audience has a question.
Camera pans and it's Paul Newman. He yells out "Where the hell are the signing cats?"

Billions made world wide over decades.........people were confused, horrified and disgusted.

I did not get what the strong reaction was about. It is a movie, I saw the trailers but wasn't overly impressed.

I have seen the musical a couple of times. I like musicals. All the hate was weird though.

I might get the movie just to be contrary.
