Gaga and Joaquin both are tremendous actors who happened to jump on a bad project, it happens to the best. I don't know why you all only blaming Gaga for this massive flop. Jealous because she's a talented girl and some of your faves are not? The general public doesn't care who writes the script and who produces a song. They care about the outcome, if it's good, they'll take, if not, not. People were expecting a sequel for the Joker, a film, but instead they got a Gaga musical. 2 1 1

Absolutely nothing you said invalidated the post you were quoting. People can be mad that it's a musical all they want. It still doesn't mean she or Joaquin were responsible for the script or the editing. The script was just… not good. Besides, if Joaquin was in over half the songs, how is it a Gaga musical with too much Gaga?

I'm saying the public doesn't care about such details, they care about the movie outcome and seemingly they don't like it. Not everyone is into musicals. For example, when they released the new Mean Girls movie earlier this year, I was let down that it's a musical lol and it's not even that good. Some musicals are good, and others aren't. The outcome wasn't my thing. 2 hours ago, Infinite said: Joaquim sings like 7 of the 12 songs alone, and Even me , that i don't know nothing about cinema knows that actors don't touch the script or the editing room... Okay? Did I say anything in contradiction to what you said? 3 minutes ago, Liafen said: what is this argument who do you think is ultimately 'responsible' for the outcome? a film is inherently the directors' medium, not the actors' I'm not trying to throw the blame on anyone for the underperforming of the movie hence I'm not trying to guess who's responsible for the flopping. Both actors are good and they can still not do as good as expected. It happens. Maybe people expected some serious stuff like the first movie..
perfect blue Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Gaga's team either 1. approached WB requesting to be in a movie, so they made it a musical just for her or 2. knew it would be a musical from its inception and casted her as a result. The GP is not stupid. They know Gaga's involvement is directly linked to it being a musical and therefore she will endure the brunt of the backlash. Either way she RUINED Joker 2 and her movie career is OVER. 1 1 2

Either way she RUINED Joker 2 and it's so over for her movie career. I mean at least try to conjure up some believable argument for why she's apparently the reason for the floppage and how it is over for her movie career without being just plain schewpid. Gaga's team did not approach WB requesting to be in a movie (that's not Hollywood works lmao, not at all), Todd reached out because he wanted to cast her. Casting her in a musical does not mean she's the reason the movie is a musical. The GP is not stupid, the majority are praising her performance as some sort of redeeming quality of this trash movie. 2

Like you would know how Hollywood works. The very few members of the GP that went to see this turd are pissed that they wasted $20 and 2 hours. Their main thoughts were "please, not again" whenever Gaga opened her mouth to start singing, not "gee, this movie would have been better with more Harley scenes!" like your deluded fanbase is saying lmao. 2

I mean, considering that you legitimately think that one of the only two options* why she's in this FAD is that "her team reached out to WB to be in the movie so they turned it into a musical just for her", I'd say I know certainly a lot more about how Hollywood works than you do, lmao. And glad to see that you took the time to personally interview "the very few members of the GP" to arrive at such a conclusion. In reality, most of the people blame the story itself and the directing, not the person that's in 23% of the movie. Sidenote: when trying to make arguments without logical fallacies, try to reason with things that you have quoted. I personally do not think that "this movie would have been better with more Harley scenes", the movie's problems are way beyond adding scenes here or there (if anything, it would've screwed up the pacing even more), nor I am a part of the "deluded fanbase" you mentioned. *There are many more options btw, your argument is not MECE at all.

She's gotten good feedback for her performance in this film, just like she did for the previous two films she was in (including a Best Actress Oscar nom). So yeah, she's an actress. 2 1
AvadaKedavra Posted October 5 Posted October 5 I like her wig. It looks very french,european,alt But yes the movie is a mess karma is everywhere and is always rebounding. Bing Bong.
SupremeGoddess Posted October 5 Posted October 5 (edited) Gaga is actually a rogue agent and took one for the team, she said superhero and villain movies have gone too far and she needed to put an end to them! By releasing the most catastrophic comic book of all time we can go to back to appreciating REAL films and art Edited October 5 by SupremeGoddess 1

traherne Posted October 5 Posted October 5 The fact is Gaga's name is as big as Phoenix's on the posters. She's been promoting it hard. The GP (most of which will never actually see the movie) will forever associate her with this disaster. This film bombing actually hurts her more than Phoenix because he's more established as an actor. Gaga sort of needed this to cement her as an A-list actress after HoG did meh. I don't think this is the end of Gaga's career as an actress, not by a long shot, but the studios won't be throwing as many high profile parts at her after this. If she's smart she'll go for something with a modest budget next.

This movie is a flop and she's attached to it It's been stated multiple times that things that were filmed got cut in the end. Who knows what it would have looked like in the end had they not. Also, scripts change sometimes. This movie filmed for what felt like forever so who knows what the original script was? Not arguing that the movie is tanking hard but I don't really think that ragging on Gaga for things out of her control is really fair either. 1
