− | + | A [[wikipedia:Ufology|UFOlogist]] accuses [[Cueball]] of being unwilling to listen to his claims for extraterrestrial life. UFO stands for "unidentified flying object" but is used in common parlance to mean a spaceship carrying beings from another planet. Cueball counters by admitting he once spent an entire afternoon trying to confirm the existence of a version of ''[[wikipedia:Cats_(2019_film)|the 2019 film adaptation of ''Cats'' ]] which allegedly gave the eponymous anthropomorphic felines anatomically-correct rear ends. The implication is that he's able to take any vaguely plausible claim at least a ''little'' seriously, but UFO claims don't even reach that bar. | |

− | Cueball's | + | Cueball's response suggests that he is keen to analyse even the most frivolous claim, such as the claim that there was an edit of the movie version of the musical Cats where the characters had visible anuses. He is suggesting to White Hat that if his "evidence" were at all compelling, Cueball would change his mind immediately, because the thought of viewers wanting to watch CGI cats played by human actors with the "uncanny valley" realism of an anatomically correct anus seems so absurd that it would be hard to imagine that filmmakers choose to animate them that way. Other animated movies with animal characters typically do not feature parts of an animal that would be considered unacceptable for a human to show. |
− | + | The ''Cats'' movie was widely panned, in part because of its ugly and unfinished-looking design of its CGI cat characters. On March 18, 2020, Twitter user @jackwaz claimed a friend of a friend had been hired as a VFX artist to "[[https://www.avclub.com/world-unites-over-need-for-cats-producers-to-releaseth-1842396923 remove CGI buttholes]]" from the digital cats, meaning that there was a version of the movie where the characters all had anatomically correct buttholes. There was a wide clamor on the internet for the release of "the butthole cut," which was never confirmed to exist. | |
− | The | + | The fact that Cueball was willing to believe this absurdity on presentation of good evidence suggests that even the thought of visitors from other planets - something that has been often reported but never officially confirmed - would be something he could believe if he felt that White Hat had genuine evidence. |
