  We all thought you knew.

  Well… good for him. I’ve never seen Heaven’s Gate – I never knew it was a musical.

• 3 WOW on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:17 am

  Christopher Walken has no boundaries!

• 4 Bill Corbett on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:17 am

  My life can now be demarcated with a bright, clear line.

  Seeing Christopher Walken as Puss in Boots CHANGES EVERYTHING.

• 5 JoshWay on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:17 am

  “I see puss.”

  Indeed.

• 6 Carpeteria on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:25 am

  Sorry, Bill. We didn’t think you could handle it. Frankly, we’re still not sure you can. Are you doing alright?

  I remember watching this as YOUNG child and LOVING it!
  I don’t know what I was thinking.
  I’m going to go and bleach my brain and then watch him dance to Weapon of Choice.

  Much better.

  Faerie Tale Theatre is also good clean awesome badness.

  I’M FRIGHTENED!

• 10 James on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:53 am

  No one says “Just reach out a paw and catch some birds” like Walken.

• 11 Tv Miller on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:54 am

  If you didn’t know this, perhaps you also didn’t see a young Shakespearian Hopkins as Gretel…the musical or a dynamic youthful Hugh Grant as Rumpelstiltskin…the musical.

• 12 Tv Miller on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:55 am

  Regardless, now I have to go watch Man on Fire now.

  “He’s about to paint his masterpiece.”

• 13 Bill Corbett on Feb 6, 2009 at 12:05 pm

  My children love a lot of stuff that I don’t enjoy much. That’s as it ought to be. Kids should be allowed to be kids.

  The bizarre part: a kid’s movie starring CHRISTOPHER WALKEN. As a transmogrified cat.

  “MEE. (pause) OW.” (<— failed attempt to do standard Walken impression, but in writing)

• 14 Chris Hughes on Feb 6, 2009 at 12:46 pm

  Watch it sometime without the sound–the strobing still image of the cat transcends to a whole new level of weirdness.

• 15 Ariel on Feb 6, 2009 at 1:10 pm

  Like Barney.
  WTF?
  Can we have a public lynching of whomever thought of Barney?

• 16 Nick Fechter on Feb 6, 2009 at 1:39 pm

  That video made me dry-heave.

• 17 R.A. Roth on Feb 6, 2009 at 2:12 pm

  Somehow Jar-Jar Binks doesn’t seem all bad. Oh, look, there’s a murder of Ewoks! Ah, all is right in what is wrong with the world.

  Needs more cowbell.

• 19 Remmie Barrow on Feb 6, 2009 at 2:35 pm

  HOW COME NO ONE WARNED ME ABOUT THIS BEFORE!!!!!!

• 20 Remmie Barrow on Feb 6, 2009 at 2:38 pm

  And further more…Antonio Banderas has a better grasp of what is it to be a cat than Walken!

• 21 AJ on Feb 6, 2009 at 4:36 pm

  I’ll get the pitchforks, you bring the fire.

• 22 Yanni on Feb 6, 2009 at 4:36 pm

  I think that it would have been a much better production if Walken had been wearing one of those costumes from Cats.

• 23 Laura on Feb 6, 2009 at 5:00 pm

  Guess what! I’ve… got a fever!… And the only prescription… is more Puss In Boots!

• 24 Darth Chimay on Feb 6, 2009 at 6:18 pm

  Yeah… I saw puss alright.

• 25 trutitipudlian on Feb 6, 2009 at 9:02 pm

  As one who has seen the whole thing, I assure you that nothing can improve that. Nothing. If Walken can’t make everything better, Cats won’t be able to make much of a dent.

• 26 j. cunningham on Feb 6, 2009 at 9:18 pm

  see the puss…… eat some corn

• 27 ShutterBun on Feb 7, 2009 at 1:28 am

  Seriously, Monkeystick deserves some kind of door prize for that “All-too-obvious-now” yet “sublimely-perfect-at-the-time” comment.

  Quite simply, it cannot be topped. Indeed, a more perfect set-up may ne’r present itself in our lifetime.

• 28 Sparkys Girl on Feb 7, 2009 at 7:14 am

  We rented this for our kids one night. It was so bad that not only did we leave the room, but our kids did too. It was just playing by itself because no one wanted to watch it. It was PAINFUL!

• 29 jfe on Feb 7, 2009 at 10:11 pm

  Fool me into watching this once…shame on you,
  if I should hit replay, shame on me!

• 30 Saoki on Feb 9, 2009 at 5:33 am

  Oh, sure, this was part of a series of movies. I watched most of them, never realized it was Walken, though, since I was 6 or 7 at the time. It was great, although I remember asking my mother why he disappeared at the end (”because his job is done”, my mother said, and I was happy with the answer).

  I know this will sound all kinds of wrong, but Walken was a great puss.
  (ha)

  Are you #&*%@!!! kidding me? I put this in the suggest a trax forum just over a year ago as a potential RiffTrax! Tsk tsk. I guess nobody reads that forum anymore.

  No no no, it’s “Uh, bguh, won’t get fooled again!”

• 33 Jesse on Feb 10, 2009 at 9:27 pm

  What if I were to tell you, Bill, that after viewing this video in shock and awe, that I had to use my moderate video editing skills to make one of those new-fangeled song remixes? You’d be indifferent to that? Really? Oh, well. Here’s the vid, anyway, with a dedication for a special person included:

  And you’re right, by the way. Walken as Puss in Boots DOES change everything.

• 34 Ponderings For 2009-02-14 » Ponderings Of Guy on Feb 14, 2009 at 9:02 pm

  [...] These boots were made for Walken? Indeed. Yikes. [...]

• 35 Tom on Feb 14, 2009 at 10:55 pm

  This film is available for rent at the Blockbuster I work at. Maybe I should get it…

• 36 doubleofive on Feb 17, 2009 at 7:18 am

  I just watched the whole thing a few weeks ago. A friend had found it at the library and rented it. The movie was really bad terrible acting all around, but it was CHRISTOPHER WALKEN. IN A MUSICAL. AS A CAT.

  It blew my mind.
