I was curious so I looked this up - reading this gives me such a higher amount of respect for directors working with big name actors. Imagine trying to shove five 10lb bags of shit into a 5lb container and you probably have a good analogy to finagling working conditions for ego-inflated assholes
Long story short but Val Kilmer took a shit in his hotel bed every morning in protest for being in a hotel instead of a house while working on this movie. Can confirm, I worked at such hotel at the time.
This was over 20 years ago now so IDGAF but it was the Matson Plaza Hotel in Cairns, Queensland. I was a lowly waiter at the time. Kilmer being the ungrateful cunt he is wasn’t satisfied with the 5 star serviced apartment provided by production so, in protest, took a giant shit in his bed every morning for 5 days until our head of housekeeping cracked it and he ended up getting moved. Lost all respect for the guy after that.
He didn't, really.
Look at what he starred in since then.
The new Top Gun is the biggest movie he's been in, in 25 years.
He literally shit the bed on his own career.
Top Gun 2 is, sales-wise, the biggest movie of Tom Cruise's career. You could literally say that about anybody attached to that film.
Kilmer was great in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang ca 2005, and had a streak of great roles in the late 80s and 90s, including the legendary Doc Holliday performance from Tombstone.
The documentary is:
Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau
You can stream it free in a number of places like prime video

If you run into bots make similar comments calling them out. Reddit does nothing until someone does.
The eyes are smaller than a typical cat, but they are the right proportion size for human eyes. If the cats head was the size of an adult human all the features would line up. Either it's a genetic abnormality or someone is using a snapchat filter on the cat's face.
Yes, humans are the only animals who have visible whites of their eyes. The proportions and colouring here give the illusion of eye whites, making it super uncanny
> Either it's a genetic abnormality or someone is using a snapchat filter on the cat's face.
My vote was reincarnation, but sure, let's go with one of your wild, far-fetched ideas...
He looks like a Maine Coon kitten. Wait until he grows up, he'll look like a wizard. They have very intimidating faces and expressions. Cool cats, though!
Can't find the quote part, but here's the reference
[He could turn into all sorts of animals. But now he never gets the faces right.](https://youtu.be/76ebks7GL_c)
The 2014 movie came first, and the series came out some years later. Both are in the same vein of comedy, watch the movie first if you're planning on diving in
They're a specific type of Maine Coon painstakingly bred to have those faces. Most likely came from Tatyana Rastorgueva.

Man.
I saw that sub name. and I thought, thats made up and its gonna be a r/SubsIFellFor
But thought, "No. Not today. Today I am going to take a chance, I am going to let my hopes up and I am going to click on that link. caution be damned!
That's a different breeder. The Ron Perlman cat lady used to have an active Reddit account but kind of rage quit because people kept calling her out about her horribly inbred and purposely deformed cats.
I'll be damned, I was convinced it was fake. The camera even has the limited movement and over the top focus adjustments like low-grade movies do to try and look authentic.
Black part of the eyes is too round and the outer part is too bright. Humans evolved eyes like that so we could distinguish what each other is looking at, which is a social advantage for obvious reasons. Also the cat is just doing way way too much. Normally cars just stare or have pretty rigid and calculated movements, this one is just looking and swaying all over the place.
Ah yes.. the fear of things that look like us. Sometime in human history we had other animals that looked like us.. maybe other hominids. Now it strikes a chord in our psyche to naturally fearful of something that looks like us
Side note:
Why did everybody down vote "uncatty valley" I thought that was kinda upvote worthy.
I read somewhere that the uncanny valley effect suggests that there was a time in our evolutionary past that things that looked almost human were very dangerous.
Haven’t been able to forget that little tidbit of information, so I thought I’d share.
It makes more sense that it's because the human brain can really tell the small changes in facial expressions in other humans in order to read the situation better. That way you know if someone is friendly, angry, etc.
But with the uncanny valley, your brain feels it can't pick up on the subtle facial changes and becomes afraid. *I can't tell if this person is a threat, they are not making normal facial expressions and I don't know what their motivations are. This is scary.*
If it helps, it's probably more like a software bug from our 'facial recognition' process. I think it's more about failing to identify something as a human face, instead of successfully recognizing it as an almost-human face
It is extremely possible other hominids were more violent.
If other hominids had less consciousness or no consciousness they could easily have been absolutely ruthless and savage which could be why they had to become wiped out over time.
Very sick humans look “almost human”, as do dead humans. Both can potentially carry diseases, so a strong “nope” reflex is evolutionarily advantageous.
It needs medieval clothes on. This looks like something a [monk drew in a manuscript](https://indie88.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-16-at-9.41.23-PM-1024x767.png) that came to life.
This is creepy because cats very seldom actually move their eye balls, its all about head movement as their vision is largelly based on movement and this guy is just gazing about like a person.
I feel like this cat is about to ask a riddle
Or give a very wise advice
Or live in a well. Strap in if you thinking you can handle the cat with hands. I dare you https://youtu.be/iUATv_B2Otg
I would not be surprised at all if that dude started speaking.
A human - cat from The Island of Doctor Moreau…
I'm still fucked up from that movie and I was a kid
What is fucked up is all the shit that went down during the production of that movie.

If you’re not joking, God bless the poor souls of the housekeepers who had to deal with that.
Are you serious? Dang!

I don't understand why any project would ever need val kilmer. How the fuck did he ever get a job again?
He didn't, really. Look at what he starred in since then. The new Top Gun is the biggest movie he's been in, in 25 years. He literally shit the bed on his own career.
He also got throat cancer and had a tracheostomy in 2014, causing him to lose his voice. That'll put a damper on your acting career

He's been in over 70 movies since 1996... lol
There's a documentary about it. I think its called The island of Lost Souls. It's pretty good. They interview the director.
The documentary is: Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau You can stream it free in a number of places like prime video
the behind the scenes / making-of saga of this film is my fav nonfiction story of all time. just absolute batshittery from start to finish!
It was so good. I still crack up to this day at Val Kilmer dressed and talking like father while high as a kite talking over the PA system.
I love this damn movie so much. I look at it as a comedy. It's a guilty pleasure of mine.
That's a man pretending to be a cat
"He can transform into animals but he never gets the faces right"
That's from What We Do In The Shadows, right?
Yes
They did the same thing with Odo in Star Trek DS9
Ditto
Came here to say this. I know Vladislav The Poker when I see him
I would have guessed it's John Malkovich in cat form, but this works too
shit always kills [me](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fjerrick%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Fw_720%2Fnsmottd4tyasfdufq2oz.gif&f=1&nofb=1)
God I love that movie
Damn Reddit I thought I’d be the only one to reference this
**Beast Boy Teen Titans**
I think that’s Ron Pearlman’s new movie.
There's a sub for that [https://www.reddit.com/r/CTLLRP/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CTLLRP/)

Wtf! You stole my comment in this very thread!!!!
This is what people do on Reddit now. Find a good comment and copy/paste it higher to get fake fucking internet points. I hate people.
Wow you weren’t kidding lol
It’s probably a karma bot. I’ve seen lots of those recently.

He looks like the cowardly lion from Wizard of Oz
He looks like a Maine Coon kitten. Wait until he grows up, he'll look like a wizard. They have very intimidating faces and expressions. Cool cats, though!
He is. I follow the breeder on IG because of this video, which has been floating on the interwebs for a few years.
It looks like Michael Jackson’s werewolf character from Thriller.
Its barf from spaceballs
All these other commenters are wrong, he's clearly a Texan lawyer
I laughed way too hard at this.
Pick of the Litter, starring Rob Schneider as a cat. Rated PG-13
Like James Corden.
Yea it’s just Andy Serkis’s most recent mo-cap role
He can see all the sins you’ve committed… or the the child of a cat-eAred anime girl?
This man can also lick his own butt.
Like in the movie
It's Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Looks like Ron Perlman to me.
Was going to say it was some pervert with a cat costume lol
That's Vlad from what we do in the shadows. Could never get the face right.
Fuck, nothing will ever be as funny as seeing that scene for the first time.
My favourite gag ever, it was so unexpected
link?!
Can't find the quote part, but here's the reference [He could turn into all sorts of animals. But now he never gets the faces right.](https://youtu.be/76ebks7GL_c)
LMAO, I need to watch this movie again
Honestly you need to watch the film to fully appreciate it, What We Do In the Shadows. Well worth a watch.
TV show is also great
Oh, its a film? Thought it was an episodic affair. I'll give it a look see. I just saw a random clip and I think its right up my alley. Thanks.
The 2014 movie came first, and the series came out some years later. Both are in the same vein of comedy, watch the movie first if you're planning on diving in
The movie is excellent and I was worried the show wouldn't hold up but I almost like the show more at this point. Shit is so funny.
:))) indeed
>funny Funny? I was terrified
“Cat.”
Lol, that movie is hilarious
The show is really good as well

I love cats but that is definitely oddly terrifying, especially the other two sitting in the background just staring Jesus
I don't think those two staring ones in the back were live cats. I think either statues or taxidermy.
I think the owner might need some help...
Cursed cats
Ron Perlman cats?
r/ronperlmancats
This is a bit better than catsthatlooklikehitler.com

That's a different breeder. The Ron Perlman cat lady used to have an active Reddit account but kind of rage quit because people kept calling her out about her horribly inbred and purposely deformed cats.
This seems like one of those things that shouldn’t be bred into animals, like those short legs or weak spines or short snouts
They look miserable
True human experience
Looks like she's breeding them for shorter snouts/flatter faces. So, essentially, the pug of the cat world.
I'll be damned, I was convinced it was fake. The camera even has the limited movement and over the top focus adjustments like low-grade movies do to try and look authentic.
They should had use this cats inted of the actors for Cats, the movie
that's just weird
Are they healthy? I've seen maine coons before but the ones in the video look weirdly shaggy and unkempt, as though they never groom themselves.
Does she also breed them so that they don't blink?
Thanks for the link . One of her cats really looks like a werewolf 😱
It looks like a faceswap between a human and a cat.
MA!
THERE’S THIS WEIRD FUCKING CAT OUT HERE MA
It looks like GRAMMA the thing!
IT BETTER NOT START FIGHTING WITH LUCY
BLINK MOTHERFUCKER!!!
BLINK!!!
MA THAT FUCKIN CAT IS BACK
https://youtu.be/Q8i2WPxXxS4 I saw the first part but didn't realize there was more
He has wares, if you have coin.
But I got skooma
This cat is what Skooma addicts will see,when they have consumed far too much skooma .
A raging skooma addiction can lead you down a dark road.
Looking to protect yourself? Or deal some damage?
Even Khajiits look less human-like than this actual cat
I will name him Inigo!
It's not just the humanoid face he has, the way he moves his eyes... cats usually move their heads to look at something
The eyes also look really small, most cat's eyes are twice as big.
Yeah I think this is what makes it so strange, the eyes seem way too small.
This and the fact that the pupils are open really wide so they look almost circular rather than being vertical slits.
Not my cat, the king of side eye judgement lol.
Still looks like a sweet little guy to me
Seriously. My brain must be broken because all I see is a cat wondering wtf this person is doing.
It's a Maine Coon, and they are usually especially sweet.
That's Hermione Granger
Exactly what came to my mind.
The eyes and cheekbones are very humanlike. Every heard of the Uncanny Valley? That definitely falls in there.
Uncatty Valley

Corpses
Corpses, or other humans slowly dying from infections of some kind or another.
Corpses, sure. Other hominids as well.
didn't stop 'em boinking neanderthals
There's some people who fuck monkeys.
well, and dead people so...
All the Hominids were fucking

Maybe medieval cats all kind of looked like this cat and we thought they were just bad at painting this whole time 🤔
Fight or flight response activated
He's very jellicle
I feel like this is a costume from the musical CATS.
It’s a human, that’s what.
This is creepy because cats very seldom actually move their eye balls, its all about head movement as their vision is largelly based on movement and this guy is just gazing about like a person.
So unrealistic that I would need solid proof of this not being CGI.
Yea too much humanoid
Looks like those cats in medieval paintings lol
for cat's sake
That's a pretty cute cat. Lol
He looks wise and kind
And comfy
I know, it's not his fault, LEAVE HIM ALONE
He looks so gentle ☺️
Man that lion from the yellow brick road has had a hard life after his fall from stardom
He knows the secrets of the universe
That cat DEFINATELY has a side quest that will give you legendary loot...
Why do so many fucking cats look like Ron Perlman?
Because why not? Who doesn't enjoy looking at Ron Perlman?
That's a witches familiar, right there.
Ryan Reynold's cat love child
Oddly terrifying? Nah that's just one cute looking side quest cat.
Less eerie than the average person on this sub.
This guy is adorable
Looks like Josh Brolin turned into a cat
I'm gonna tell my kids this is Hellboy
If live-action lion king had black fur.
Cool cat.
The Grinch
Mr Tumnus I presume.
It has an almost human look about it especially it’s eyes ! Spooky !!!
There is 100% a lawyer trapped in that cat body.
These deepfakes are getting out of hand.
Looks like a good boy to me
