Two years passed between our first and second show of Lam Ngai Kai’s spectacular sci-fi-action-horror-comedy The Cat. The next show came one year later. The next, only six months. At our present rate of acceleration, we’ve only got 4 years until we reach cat singularity, when all that’s left is a single, endless, overlapping show of The Cat.

The Cassandra Cat is a Czech film about Robert, a caring teacher whose town is visited by a troupe of performers and their cat Mokol, who reveals peoples’ true color when someone takes off his sunglasses. A true oddity, The Cassandra Cat is equal parts fairy tale and social satire, bolstered by the simple joy of watching a cat sit around in cool sunglasses.

It may be called Batman Returns, but this is Catwoman’s movie. Michelle Pfieffer’s scene stealing performance as the cat-loving anti-hero provides the perfect foil for the ever-serious Batman, and brings moral complexity that was unheard of in superhero movies.

The pitch is simple: you come down, chill out, and laugh at a bunch goofy cat videos while sitting in an auditorium full of like-minded people. Then we donate half the ticket revenue to charity, and send the other half to the people who made CatVideoFest, who donate even more of the money to cat-based charities.

In a secret lab, a team of scientists have done the unthinkable: genetically modified a cat so that a second, evil, mutant cat can live inside of it. Soon, the cat escapes to the yacht of a sketchy businessman, leaving no escape from the poisonous, mutant cat living inside it (except when it turns back into a floofy orange cat so it can get scritches).
