A Video Discussing That Horny TayTay Movie Getting Patched (The Jimquisition)
Cats, starring Taylor Swift and Idris Elba as horrible nightmares, is a fine example of how movies are starting to resemble videogames in terms of how they're treated post-launch.
It was basically patched after it went to theaters, replaced with a new version that changed effects and performance timing. Combined with what Marvel has been doing with films such as Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home, the concept of post-launch content for movies running at theaters is getting very game-flavored.
The jokes about films getting patches and DLC have all been made, but there's a serious point to be considered, especially when it's predominantly fandom-centric movies getting constantly fiddled with.

I had two cats that looked like the one Jim used. My memories are RUINED! (jk)
And people wonder why I don't rush to see movies anymore. Cripes, last one I went to see in theaters was the first Hobbit movie just to shut up some annoying roomies, and I spent the whole movie asleep because I knew there'd be a longer version out in a couple months.
Jellicle Sterling is a hilariously terrifying creation. Well done Justin. 馃槂 And another brilliant Jimquisition. 馃檪
A cat with Jim's face on it... I don't know about anyone else, but I would want that just to have it make snarky remarks about any garbage I might try to do. Might just be me.
I will put Cats down as just "great" then :)
I had been begging my friends to go see Cats with me, and the only thing that convinced them was hearing that they were going to be rolling out a fix. So. Yeah. That controversy definitely sold at least 3 extra tickets it wouldn't have prior. Not exactly a windfall but the sort of thing I can see weaponized by other, smarter companies.
Many jimprophecies in this one - as much as I hope they don't come true, I know they will.
