well

lemme log off for a year, hopefully the lashings will die down a bit by then

Also, I really think Gaga needs to look for a more or less indie film project next. Any "smaller" director will be excited to have her and actually use her talents + it will show that she actually has the passions for acting itself. It's a win-win situation.

Blockbusters like these can be fun but often fall flat on their face when it comes to quality. It's not like she needs the money either.

The thing is: everyone was. This is a shocking turn of events. 

Hmm...yes and no. It doesnt come as a shock that this will flop...also it wouldnt have come qs a shock if it was massive success. Todd Philips did a big swing with making  it a musical but how are you gonna make it a musical and relegate THE SINGER OF THE XXITH CENTURY to like 40? 50? minutes of real screentime

no one will curr about this mess of a movie since Gaga is a supporting actress so the flopping can't even be associated with her lol. She got her 10M salary, extra free promo for LG7 and now shes ready to serve us ominous dark electropop

With the current presales numbers, even getting to a $60M opening in the US will be a struggle. It's tracking behind The Marvels in many theatres and that opened to $46M. Haven't tracked any numbers outside the US but brace yourselfs for an utter bomb domestically.

 

BUT be positive. She IS an ACCLAIMED actress and will get whatever role she wants in the future. She has the NUMBER 1 song in the world right now and we're getting her first pop single in 4 years in a month.

 

She IS the moment.

I wonder how much more buzz this film would have if the trailers actually featured any of Gaga's acting chops and musical scenes. It's possible that they wongfully tried to appeal to a demographic which is unmovable in terms of going to see a musical and ended up not catching a new audience. Maybe while its true that the movie was a risk the marketing ended up being too safe.

All the hype on this movie was on gaga making her a sidekick not only dissapointed the critics but probably will dissapoint the public

They were dumb as hell for this

They played themselves and will pay for it. 

I'll still go and watch this movie but for gaga and gaga only. 

 

Gag getting the only nominations out of this mess will be final nail in their coffin. ihihihhi 

I couldn't care less about JFAD's BO success tbh. At least her chart performance is up to her; that sh*t is up to Toad's

All signs pointing to J:FAD to be a major BO bomb. I was more than prepared for an Oscar snub after HoG but this... will be harder to proccess I fear.

Honestly, I kinda didn't get a good feeling when all of a sudden LG7's lead is coming right before Xmas freeze, as a brand new film debuts,  especially when the album is due months later. On top of that also have this random droplet smashing that was created recently? It's giving 'quick, lemme cushion the blow' teas. I just hope that's wrong but I go by 'actions speak louder than words'

Do it for Gaga. Thats what i'll be doing. 

 

meh

i still feel this can be a hit the closer we get to the release date

the promo is kinda lacking tho

Do we think she'll attend the VMAs tonight?

 

 

Warner Bros will shift their focus to Dune 2 this coming awards season if JFAD bombs.

I kinda hope it flops...for making Gaga a sidekick. After all Gaga got her $10M and has the biggest duet of the year, a new lead single and an album to promote. You did Gaga dirty Todd Philips and I hope that leaves you bankrupt

I dont even think it was Todd only. Joaquin is playing big part in that sidekick decision. 

His super ego was too much and it affected Todd's decisions. 

 

Miss gar you better stat away from white heterosexual pigs next time. 

they don't give a f***

If DWAS was a Bruno solo song radio would be playing it non stop..they won't support Gaga

JFAD can be a contender in acting categories and some techs tho but with this BO prediction, i doubt it will get nominated for any category. Lol

The way my hype for FAD also stopped after Venice and shifted completely to LG7 discussion/lead

Its what they deserve 

On a lighter note... I've been thinking about LG7 and some of the things she said in the Vogue interview and I have some thoughts:

I feel like this album will be a reflection on Lady Gaga the entity (the "notorious being"), a bit of a culmination of what she's been through the last decade and a half.

I thought it was interesting how in the interview she talked about how she was writing about the difficult times she had while being happy. I think this album will contrast a lot with Chromatica, in which she was still inside that turmoil kinda forcing herself to the booth and just writing a very direct straight to the point version of whatever she was feeling. This time I'm expecting her to take more of an outside, metaphorical view of herself as a person and an artist.

Unrelated to this but I think Shadow Of The Night might've been a song she wrote during The Chromatica Ball, specifically about that experience (the monsters around). Maybe that was the real reason she included it on the film, and not because it's a lead single.
