Wasn't there a version of Waterworld where everyone had CGI gills but they quickly changed it because it looked like everyone had neck-vaginas ?

Came for the buttholes, stayed for Sir Ian's nipples.
Also, remember that one guy was ready to put this [NSFW] up on screen, in Alien: Resurrection, until he was forced to take it out.

O.k., so. There's no described video for this but (heh) I'm married to a blind Broadway fan, so I had to describe it in real time.
Based on having had to do that within the last hour or so, here's a short summary: it's set up like a standard movie trailer with a front bumper of some fake quotes from various reviewers/media outlets, celebrities, etc., about how CATS with more buttholes has long been promised, and now it's here, and they're spectacular. It's essentially the straight-ahead (or straight-behind) CATS trailer with the cats in question sporting some buttholes that are pink and over-exposed (in both relevant senses) so they really...pop, as it were, on screen. Some of the set pieces (the moon through the skylight, for example) have been replaced by stylized, computer-animated anuses as well.
In short, if you find butts funny and need a cheap laugh and have had a shit day, this is for you.

I remember what my friend said after he heard reports of a Cats patch being digitally distributed during its theatrical run,
"Couldn't they use the same technology to make the movie about spiders?"
so yeah, buttholes, I guess that's okay if it's your thing but me personally I am holding out forCatsSpiders

Part of the plot of the movie is that only Kevin Costner's character has the gills, and he still has them in the released version, as the two showings we've had attest.
"Couldn't they use the same technology to make the movie about spiders?"
I'd imagine so, for that is how tools like diff work. The only problem is that the filesize would be prohibitively large, but then, not as large as Cats cost to make.
