James Cameron’s Laser Cats 5
If you saw Saturday Night Live this weekend, then you’ve already seen this video. I’m guessing it’s more likely you saw it online, because watching SNL is hardly a pleasant pasttime, even when Sigorney Weaver is hosting. Still, the show occasionally has its moments, and James Cameron pitching Laser Cats 5 is to Lorne Michaels is definitely one of them. I think we can all agree that even if you like Avatar — possibly to the point of depression — Laser Cats 5 is the superior product. After all, Avatar only has cat people running around, while Laser Cats 5 has people cocking cats to fight other cats. Advantage: Laser Cats 5.
