I hate that Joker FAD is flopping, but it's a subtle lesson for her to stop chasing massive roles every time she's filming something new. She's incredibly talented; honestly, I think she's the most talented artist out there right now. She could easily take on a role that doesn't need a huge budget or too much hype and still find massive success, like she did with ASIB. 

Stop moping, stop crying, stop being defeatist, gather all your social media clout and use it to pressure Gaga to release LG7. 

You guys are good on hyping her up. DO THAT

it is fascinating that people are really listening to WOM and not just going to see it themselves, especially because the first is the highest grossing R rated film of all time........

 

...im sure people still want to check it out but will wait till streaming

a CATASTROPHE

When both CRITICS and AUDIENCE panned the FILM, it's just OVER.. mostly die hard fans of Joker, DC, Phoenix and Gaga are the only audience keeping it afloat mefears..

 

at least this is the case in the US.. never heard a Universally PANNED FILM by both critics and fans that did well BO Wise domestically

Just got back from seeing J:FAD on IMAX and I loved it. I can't believe some gays bashed it so much 

 

I went with a (somewhat) straight man and he HATED the musical numbers + the ending which is understandable given that he's old school. For me, the musical numbers really make sense if you pay attention to the lyrics (thank you subtitles!) and totally not unnecessary as some people claimed to be. I guess it helps when you went in with zero expectations and that you don't gaf about the first movie or the Batman/Joker universe 

 

Spoiler

I agree that Harley does feel a bit one dimensional as a supporting character but that's cause likely a lot of her scenes were unfortunately cut. She's still the highlight of the movie when she sang the hell out of Gonna Build A Mountain though. The TABS truly jumped ouT 

 

I also agree with the idea that movie itself is an (unsuccessful) attempt at making a statement about parasocial relationships between idols and their worshippers. Todd Phillips kinda "ruined" the idea of Joker 2 being another movie about a glorified supervillain, just like how Joker supporters were upset that he was just a vulnerable human being who can't keep up with the pressure of being a villain because...ironically and tragically, he can neither embrace his madness as "Joker" or put his past behind to live as himself, all due to how the people around (and Lee) treats him.

 

It low-key reminds me of the Gaga x Liddo dynamic too which is kinda.... 

 

8/10 from me

I told y'all you are worrying too much. People keep defending her.

Yeah, she should just make a hard cut and put her focus on LG7

She hasn't done anything since Kimmel. It's her fans not leaving it behind.

Holy ****

 

ASIB remains her highest-grossing U.S. opening to date.

i suspect we'll see it on streaming before Christmas

It's below Morbius & The Marvels and sold fewer tickets than Birds of Prey. I'm not sure if they're contractually obligated to keep it in theaters for a set time, but if not, I wouldn't be surprised to see it on VOD by next month. 

Why are people still defending this film. It's a catastrophic disaster. Panned by critics and the GP. Gaga should move on and never mention this project ever again.

She isnt pushing it but not leaving it behind either..

The Artpop era was just prepping us for future flops 

Todd cutting the lesbian scene and Joaquin dropping out of his gay movie?

I am 100000% with you on this and so thoroughly confused by the backlash. It's quite possibly the best comic book film I've seen. (But I'm into less conventional fare + don't mind musicals so lmao)

The multiple posts with CATASTROPHE in all caps is so dramatic 

 

Gaga's performance is acclaimed and this is a BO peak for her. She's winning. 
 

Now Todd Phillips on the other hand …
