Capris Groove Posted October 7 Posted October 7 (edited) Two $100+ million grossing musical films that were made when Madonna and Lady Gaga were 37 years old, respectively. Both have companion albums that reached the top 20 on the US Billboard 200. Both are adaptations of an estabilished story, Evita comes from the musical, and Joker 2: Folie à Deux comes from the Batman universe. Both are over 2 hours long. The choice is yours, ATRL.

pisuke Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Evita destroys FAD in every level. Gorgeous adaptation of a stage music into film. Made it better, more nuanced and human. 2 11 4
LittleStarmen Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Evita is a classic, Madonna won a golden globe when that mattered. The songs are great and the movie is exactly what you expect. A musical about Eva Peron Joker 2 is some random bad idea that failed for everyone involved 12
Slap Posted October 7 Posted October 7 It has to be Evita although I think Gaga was taken more seriously as an actress (until FAD) than Madonna ever was. 1

EnigmaticAndroid Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I've literally never seen Evita get talked about aside from this site and occasionally Broadwayworld. It's utterly forgotten by the GP. 5 1 9

vuelve88 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Evita is a much better film. I mean, even Patti Lupone has held a nearly 30 year grudge over Madonna because she got the role. Gaga's JFAD caused Todd Phillips to announce his retirement 7
Rotunda Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Patti Lupone's hatred of Madonna single-handedly keeps Evita's memory alive. 13 1
Bubble Tea Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Only one has the lyrics that prophecise FAD's future: "How I lived, How I shone But how soon the light was gone." 6
Sheep Posted October 8 Posted October 8 I like both but please add a neither option for those of us living in reality. Thank you. 1

Digitalism Posted October 8 Posted October 8 I'm from Argentina so here everybody knows Don't Cry for me Argentina so that's like 40 million that will always know the song Where JFAD is forgotten 3 days in 1 3 2
Human Fly Posted October 8 Posted October 8 (edited) Evita is the WORST movie ever existed and it was seen as a joke by the industry, she won a globe because they needed views. Oscars and critics circle SLAPPED her in the face and put her in her place. and You guys arent tired? First compared it to ASIB and then House of Gucci and then now Joker… like be creative and respect the legend that is lady gaga for making an effort and actually putting out movies every couple years. I'm glad monsters wont be sticking to one movie like white madonna fans who's body hairs turned grey now btw, with that one little terrible movie that is called evita like their life depend on it.

Sharamee6 Posted October 8 Posted October 8 (edited) One will be remembered as a masterpiece and an iconic moment in filmmaking and film soundtracks, despite the fact that the pop legend at its center has acting skills comparable to free willy. On the other hand, one will be regarded as a joke, featuring an overhyped, desperate and attention-seeking artist (with good industry connections) whose performance makes Madonna's skills seem legitimate and professional. This is accompanied by a hilarious album that sold only 26,000 copies in its first week, themed around a movie that was expected to be one of the biggest releases of 2024 and the DC universe. Let's not pretend otherwise. This is not subjective. Edited October 8 by Sharamee6 1 2 5 2
