IBeMe Posted yesterday at 05:39 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:39 AM However, Goldstein briefly shared his thoughts on the disastrous debut of Joker: Folie à Deux while speaking with the Wall Street Journal. Admitting that the film had failed to live up to the box office potential the studio had hoped for – something that is very hard to try and deny – Goldstein noted that he feels the "core male audience" that made the first movie a huge success, struggled to connect with Gaga's take on the ever-popular Harley Quinn. He added, somewhat unnecessarily: "The movie didn't land with audiences the way we wanted it to." https://movieweb.com/lady-gagas-harley-quinn-casting-blamed-joker-folie-deux-failure/ originally posted via Wallstreet Journal's piece on Joker 2 (paywall blocked): https://www.wsj.com/business/media/200-million-joker-sequel-is-a-box-office-bust-9b92a7c0 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IBeMe Posted yesterday at 05:43 AM Author Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 05:43 AM (edited) the smear campaign by Toad Phillips is in full force I see He wants everyone to take blame but himself...aka the MAJOR issue of the movie. Gaga is literally the only positive thing about this film based on reviews. He can try but it won't work. You will catch these strays Toad and nothing can stop that from happening. I hope studios NEVER invest in his work without having some control of his script and direction...letting a man like him loose with a 200M$ budget and no oversight was an insane mistake on Warner's part.

Popular Post jesus del rey Posted yesterday at 05:45 AM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 05:45 AM They gave the Project X and Hangover director extraordinary control over the final edit and now they are trying to blame the actress who was the only good part of the movie? I have to laugh. 6 63 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesamtkunstwerk Posted yesterday at 05:50 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:50 AM (edited) I refuse to believe they didn't understand Lady Gaga's audience vs. The Joker's. It's not even the cast, it's that they made it a musical. Sorry, but nobody who liked the first wanted to see that lmfao I think they tired to pull a difference audience than the toxic men that loved the first film, but it backfired, so nobody likes it now Edited yesterday at 05:50 AM by Gesamtkunstwerk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Capris Groove Posted yesterday at 05:56 AM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 05:56 AM (edited) It's not that a woman was cast it's that Gaga was cast. Of course comic book stans don't want to go see Gaga belt out jazz and Broadway showtunes, like be serious.

NextBish90 Posted yesterday at 06:00 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:00 AM The actors and the acting are actually perfect in the movie. The cinematography and the picture is also brilliant. It's just the lack of Joker story and the musical part upsetting people. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navyofbadgals Posted yesterday at 06:01 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:01 AM I mean there is something to be said about Gaga really just playing a random woman with little connection to the character that was established as Harley in the comics. That is however something that is not unique to JFad; first Joker did the same AND by the looks of it Todd Philips and Joaquin Phoenix were the biggest driving forces creatively. The poor choices that the movie made are almost fully on them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.O.P Posted yesterday at 06:04 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:04 AM OBVIOUSLY they had to chop a lot of her bits because of how bad it was and her performance ended up ruining this WIDELY PANNED & UNIVERSALLY LOATHED movie. 1 16 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domination Posted yesterday at 06:15 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:15 AM The nice thing about cutting her out of the film is that now trying to blame her for this colossal flop (creatively and commercially) is nonsensical and she's basically immune. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
