Abracadabra Posted October 12 Posted October 12 11 minutes ago, Moloko Plus said: Okay that's true let me relax I think it's still so shocking to me because I was fully expecting the sequel to outgross the original skskskdk Yeah we all definitely expected more but oh well nevermind In hindsight, I think from the moment it was announced to be a musical it was always going to be a tough hill to climb for it to outgross the original. The musical aspect really pissed off a lot of the OG film's fans (many of whom didn't even want a sequel in the first place), and musicals typically don't perform well at the box office anyway. For it to smash we really needed the reviews to be glowing and universal, or for there to be some kind of zeitgeist-y controversy around it. The musical aspect alienated a lot of it's audience and the other demographic that could have really saved the movie (people who were drawn to see Gaga) were probably put off by the reports that she wasn't in it as much as we were expecting, so overall just a recipe for an underperformance. But I really don't think it's that big of a deal, Gaga has dealt with underperformances and backlash before and luckily already has the next stage of her career lined up. 1
Badgalbriel Posted October 12 Posted October 12 The musical aspect was terrible and added nothing to the movie. It was a bad movie, with a bad director. Gaga will be just fine. 3 1

Next time maybe y'all should hush when someone is experiencing a colossal bomb akin to the one we're experiencing now There have been multiple films to bomb on its level just this year And not to sound a bit stan'd, but there genuinely is a difference between a film bombing and an album bombing because there are so many other factors at play and people involved with a movie. 143 is representative of Katy whereas the Joker sequel, if anything, is representative of Todd Phillips. 4 5
Happylittlepunk Posted October 12 Posted October 12 We are still talking the joker movie? This isn't going to effect Gaga musical career at all! like be real everyone.

Popular Post EnigmaticAndroid Posted October 12 Popular Post Posted October 12 (edited) For what it's worth, I was on the Box Office subreddit and there was one random who was trying to drag Gaga and make the failure of the film all her fault and they were getting downvoted for filth and locals were defending her. Even the OscarRace sub is absolving her of any guilt (and they kinda hate her/us ). There is seriously no substantial perception of Gaga being at fault, and any attempts to place the failure of Joker on her isn't sticking. Everyone with a functioning brain knows that Todd f*cked up royally. Edited October 12 by EnigmaticAndroid 22

Track I'm His He's Mine Bubbling Under run? Watch the Renaissance visuals? Wait for the Mold biopic she's self-directing to come out? Listen to Manjobi? I'd be perched too if I were them. 14

Hair Posted October 12 Posted October 12 (edited) Only a thread about Gaga could get as many replies in 2 hours as that thread has. Oh Godga, always on their minds Edited October 12 by Hair
atemyheartinc Posted October 12 Posted October 12 (edited) I believe her next cinematic move should be starring in a full-on musical, like Wicked. If winning an Oscar for acting is truly important to her, she could definitely achieve that with a musical. There's no reason to shy away from it; just look at Emma Stone—she won for La La Land.

IBeMe Posted October 12 Posted October 12 The minute I saw the trailer I knew the film would underperform and I told yall. It's ok tho. She is fine overall and she just has to act in more films soon to make ppl forget this. Movie industry is very forgiving especially since Gaga's performance was praised. ok now we need Gaga to start teasing the lead tho 3
Aston Martin Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Like I've said, this current ATRL-only hate train might be aggravating if Gaga didn't currently have the #1 song in the world (which has been the case for almost two months and counting). And the fact that Bruno personally called Gaga to work with him while some of her alleged "peers" had to scrape the bottom of Dr. Luke's contact list for collabs makes the #thankyoubruno drags laughable. Gaga gets collabs with the top of the top in both the music and film industries because she's respected for her talent. The fact that Gaga not being responsible for Joker bombing is the prevailing narrative everywhere except this website proves that. 5 1

HausOfPunk Posted October 12 Posted October 12 "Hi Monsters, it's Lady Gaga. I know it's been a while. First, I would like to thank everyone for supporting Harlequin. Seeing you enjoy the album inspired a kindness and bravery in me like never before. Music is my passion. It is my life. But the events of the last month have taught me not to take anything for granted, and to look deeply within myself and ask some tough questions about how I want to move forward as an artist and a human being. After much consideration, I have decided to suspend the LG7 era, as well as my music and acting careers as a whole, until further notice. This was a very difficult decision, but I felt it was the right one at this stage in my life. I have decided to accept an exciting position as Chief Marketing Officer at Pfizer. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. It has always been my dream to work in the biopharmaceutical industry, and make a difference in the lives of people all around the world. Music can heal you, but only medicine can cure you. I hope you can understand my decision. xoxo LG" 3
