A Talking Cat!?! (2013)

[inactiveuser501 168]

I really don't want to speculate, but the actor who played the son, Justin Cone, played a gay character on "The Hard Times of RJ Burger". He may really be straight, I don't know, it's just when you play a gay character and then your attempt at straight comes off as gay, I just don't even know what the fuck is going on.

 

With that being said, did anyone else feel that when the son from the other family went into the swimming pool, there was going to be a loving stare by the first son? Because that would have made sense in the context of this movie. I guarantee you that "I can't swim" is just a cop out from the director.

 

As for Eric Roberts, holy shit. I can't tell if he is phoning it in or having too much fun with this, or whatever the hell is going on there. This interview is the closest we get to an explanation.

And when the mom says "Yes, Tina, and No, you can't go to business college.", I fucking lost my mind. How has this not been done? This shit is amazing, Jason will freak.

Just based on who the director was, I'm surprised the bigger guy didn't take the son right to the bone zone during that scene or vise versa.

When the two boys ran inside laughing and toweling each other off, I just had to think "Oh, they just bone zoned." I find it impossible to believe that anyone who saw them running into the room would think otherwise.

 

I really hope they do this soon, what with A Talking Pony!?! now in post-production (Yes folks, that is real. And unlike Birdemic 2, it doesn't look self aware yet). If the Director does "A Talking _____!?!" saga, these guys need to go in order.

Which will be followed by My Step-Brother is a Vampire!?!, rounding out the trilogy.

[That Guy 7]

When the two guys come in after swimming and the rest of the cast sees them, the boys get this look on their face like, "Oh...they know we were just fucking."

 

This has become one of my favorite movies. I put it on a lot. I still can't fully comprehend it. Every time I watch it, I become more confused about something.

[Johnny Unusual 525]

I might have missed someone else saying this, but the director David deCoteau is also the director of the 1313 line of homo-erotic (intentionally) genre movies.

 

The one that grabbed my attention was a slasher movie about an actor who is angry that he is losing parts to attractive models. It's called Actor Slash Model. As awful as I'm sure it is, that's a great title.

My daughter came home from her grandmother's and said:

 

"Daddy, you have to watch this movie with me. It has a talking cat in it."

"What's the movie called?"

"It's called _A Talking Cat_."

"Really?"

 

Fifteen minutes in I was considering jumping out the window, but since I only have a one story house that really wasn't a solution.

 

This is a truly TERRIBLE movie. It makes Birdemic look like Gone with the Wind! From the premise to the plot to the acting, it is terrible. And while you would think it was produced at bargain store prices with a camera someone fished out of the ocean...nope. It cost $1,000,000 to make.

Enjoy. And PLEASE rip this movie to shreds.

[jkaiseresquire 3]

By the way you can stream this stinking cat turd of a movie on Netflix.

This movie is super terrible, but still nothing is as terrible as Birdemic. Not that I have seen anyway.

[CarolineFulford 2]

The few scenes I managed to sit through were mind-bogglingly awful. Like, 30 seconds of each character running past the camera awful.

 

This AV Club article says it much better than I can, though:

[jkaiseresquire 3]

Thanks RatherMarvelous, that was an awesome article. I still can't believe I sat through that entire movie. I am starting to think maybe that movie was so bad I died while watching it and everything I have experienced since is some sort of post-death hallucination.

[AshtonGebhard 2]

HDTGM needs to review "A Talking Cat!?!" It is fantastically bad! The AV Club article sets it up wonderfully, but this line from the article sums up my thoughts perfectly: A Talking Cat?!? inspires so little sympathy for its characters, human or otherwise, that when Duffy gets hit by a car in the third act, I was actually rooting for his death, and I say that as an inveterate cat lover. But astonishingly, the worst and craziest is yet to come.

 

I watched this movie as homework assigned by the Tales of the Smoking Chihuahua podcast, and holy cats, I'd like to hear Jason Mantzoukas's thoughts on the movie alone! It reaches the apex of the question, "HOW did THIS get MADE!?!"

I genuinely want to know what your daughter thought of this and how she found out about it. I can't imagine a child seeing this, much less asking to see it.

Okay, every weekend I host a b-movie marathon at my apartment. Last weekend we attempted this one, and we just couldn't finish it, we just got way too bored. Then again, it was getting late and we'd already watched FUN movies like Miami Connection and Samurai Cop. Maybe I'll give it another try, but man, this was one of the most excruciatingly dull bad movies I've ever had to sit through.

[jarrycanada 2483]

Not that talking cat movie again, good god no!!

No, this NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON. NO EXCEPTIONS. ERIC ROBERTS. HOMOEROTIC UNDERCURRENT. BUSINESS SCHOOL

I am to the breaking point that I am almost with you guys on them doing this movie for two reasons, the simple reason that we can get off this subject of the talking cat movie and get on with our lives.

Second reason being that we could get revenge on paul and the gang for not doing the happening. the punishment should suit the crime. Forcing them to watch this crap.

 

VOTE for it

You guys need to do this one. It'll blow your minds. You guys won't be able to handle it. Here's some highlights:

 

-The director uses the psuedonym Mary Crawford, but his real name is David DeCoteau. He';s directed 105 movies, most of them under different names. A lot of them gay-themed and some of them just full-on gay porn movies. The house used in this movie has been in a lot of gay porn.

 

-There's a weird gay undercurrent to this whole movie. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.

 

-Eric Roberts did all his voice work over a phone and it's amazingly obvious.

 

-There's at least one instance where you can see the laser pointer used to direct the cat.

 

-The Onion AV Club has called it "The Room of...animal movies" : http://www.avclub.co...ic-anima,93563/

 

-At the end, a character is treading water in a pool and says, "Cannonball!"

 

-"I should follow Phil inside, but there is seriously nothing better than a cat nap. That's why they call it that you know."

 

-The cat is a god/Christ figure.

 

I don't want to give too much away, because there's the intense joy that comes with mind boggling insanity. This is a must.

 

So. Many. Reasons.

[seanotron 2307]

That's weird about Eric Roberts doing the voice work over the phone, because he was interviewed about this and when the interviewer pointed out the bad sound work Roberts blamed it on a sound engineer.

[Bob Drillboids 181]

This will never get done. It's absolutely one of those D-level, "Gary Busey-as-a-killer-snowman" films that the crew avoids.

They did Birdemic though, and that film is Z-level.

 

But I agree that it probably won't get done because it's probably too obscure. As far as I know it's not on the Birdemic/The Room level of cult status being played in theaters. And I honestly don't think it's an amusing enough watch to ever get there.

[inactiveuser501 168]

I would like to point out, as many people have before me, The AV Club Article that started this all, and how it is viewed as a Legit Wonderfully Horrible Movie. They've don Z-List Birdemic and Direct to DVD never theatrically seen Tiptoes, so there really should be no problems in doing this.

 

When Birdemic was done, they said to "Forget all of the audio/visual quality problems" when they reviewed it. And for stuff like The Gingerdead Man with Busey, it seemed pretty obvious that it wasn't meant to be a real horror movie. When you ignore the audio/visual for this and view it as a children's film by a director who looks to have meant it as such, it STILL is very insane.

 

I'm sorry, but A LOT of people want to see this done, damnit! No mean to offend, thestray, but this film is legitimately bonkers in a great way. I can't imagine how it could be seen as boring. And to quote myself.

 

this NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON. NO EXCEPTIONS. ERIC ROBERTS. HOMOEROTIC UNDERCURRENT. BUSINESS SCHOOL

 

End Rant.

[thestray 361]

If I were going to be offended by something it wouldn't be about differing views of this movie, haha.

 

Like I said, maybe there were a few factors that prevented me from enjoying this movie,

-we'd watched 2 really entertaining fast-paced movies before this (Samurai Cop, Miami Connection)

-it was late and we were getting tired

-the posts in this forum maybe hyped it up too much for me, I kinda expected more

-and honestly I think we just didn't have the patience at the time

 

If I watch again under better circumstances we'll see if I find it less of a chore.

[seanotron 2307]

I'm a little iffy on this one as well. It just seems *too* stupid, if there is such a thing. But hey, if it makes for a fun episode I'm on board.
