That feeling when your body is requesting something but you're not sure what so you just start eating and drinking random stuff to try and figure it out

Me, eating a chocolate waffle at 7pm: Is this what you desire, oh prison of flesh?

So this implies that if Batman dies, Alfred Pennyworth is going to shoot every supervillain in Gotham twice

Part of his background was being a spy, so he will likely nail each of them when they least expect it.  

Plot twist: Batman is the one holding Alfred back

Hot take: Batman can survive in Gotham on a no-killing principle through repeated fights with villains who have no such scruples because they all know that if they kill the Batman his butler is going to assassinate every last one of them with a shotgun.

Aw hecc yea my man Alfred a straight savage

Cats (2019) is worse than Doctor Who (2006) even though the show was made with the budget of a crisp packet

okay everyone buckle the hell up cause I'm gonna nerd out to you about the makeup they used for this episode.

Yeah that's right I SAID MAKE UP

Everything from the top of their head to the end of their neck

purely intricate, beautiful makeup

(by the very talented make up designer Sheelagh Wells who is the only one to have worked both on doctor who in '63 and new who)

Each shaped individually to each actors face and able to pick up each micro expression we still struggle to produce with cgi to this day without it looking wrong or plastic

everything from the small cheek movements to the eyebrows to the nose crinkle, the actresses is able to act as if she usually would.

By not having to restrain her face to act in one peticular spot or with nothing but small motion capture dots on her face, means she can actually bounce off the more realistic reaction to the other actors performance rather than if they just said "right well pretend she's a cat and we'll add it in later".

and sure, okay, I'm not gonna lie to you, the main reason the nun cats were made to be nuns was because it meant that they could cover up as much skin as they possibly could to save time in the makeup chair, because like op said, they truly did have the budget of a crisp packet

but hey, if it works

IT WORKS

Yes, each actresses sat in the makeup chair getting the extensive hair and make up done for HOURS, but ultimately the sheer amount of detail they were able to add to the characters by doing this made it worth their while.

THEY ONLY HAD A BUDGET OF AROUND £800K PER EPISODE at the time, in 2006 FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING LOCATION ETC

Imagine what these make up designers would be able to do with A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE BUDGET

Winona Ryder is really out here giving interviews saying she may have “over acted” as her character Joyce Byers since she hasn’t gotten any nominations for awards since the show premiered, after she spent the last 3 years chugging water bottles on set to stay safely hydrated because she would have to be sobbing for 10 hours a day and I just seriously want to make a new awards show and nominate her 10 different times because she fucking deserves it
