Lady Gaga is Italian. In case you didn't know:
I don't really like her.. but this is just how Americans talk about "ancestry."
Particularly if you are from the NE, there is a lot of Italian-American immigrants and her family is one of them.. so what's the big deal? I mean this isn't even particularly American.. just how most 2nd/3rd generation immigrants identify anywhere.
I mean her name is some long-winded Italian name with like 3 middle names lol
WTF are you talking about? A music could be absolutely amazing.Im pretty sure they're trolling everyone. No way it's going to be a musical, no way DC is that idiotic to let such an R rated franchise go to shit right? DC has never done.....

I mean sure.. as is anyone by the 2nd or 3rd generation of immigration.The Sopranos taught me that italo-americans aren't italians at all, they are americans with some cultural leftovers from the old country.
I weirdly share your optimism. I mean, it could be good, in a weird way. It could be utterly terrible that it's good in and of itself, which will make brilliant youtubers make funny videos. Or it could be so bad that it'll just be funny that it's so crap..This is going to be such a bizarre musical, cant wait![]()
If they could pull off a Moulin Rouge with this, it could be epic, amazing, worthy of Oscars and a timeless classic. Lots could go horribly wrong with this, but I find the prospect of something completely new with this property to be amazing and fun.I thought it was a joke at first, but I understand now: they want another Oscar, so they're making another kind of Oscar bait film. Instead of a Scorcese inspired movie, we'll get a Baz Lurhman type of Oscar bait.
That said, I'm just not into musical films, so this is an incredibly tough sell for me... but it seems I'm not the target audience for this one.
Birds of Prey had a musical scene and it was great. It could be something like that.Im pretty sure they're trolling everyone. No way it's going to be a musical, no way DC is that idiotic to let such an R rated franchise go to shit right? DC has never done.....

Possibly the dumbest question I've ever asked, but I own A Star Is Born, and heard she was great in it. Is this a film I should watch if I want to be convinced that she can work in a Joker sequel? I mean, Zazi Beats was good in the first movie, so not really sure. I never actually had a plan on watching ASIB, and only bought it as a potential date flick. The only thing I remember Gaga in is Machete Kills and Sin City 2. Not exactly roles that would prep her for a Joker 2. Joaquin Phoenix is a force of nature. He deserves to have quality actors surrounding him.
New Harley Quinn?

It depends entirely on the catchiness of the songs. If the tik tok community likes them, it won't bomb.If it's a musical it will bomb.
I disagree. A films fait is not dictated by its tiktok popularity.It depends entirely on the catchiness of the songs. If the tik tok community likes them, it won't bomb.
Not saying this is the case. I'm saying that popularity could help boost numbers like with other music and films.I disagree. A films fait is not dictated by its tiktok popularity.
What if it had the same viewer numbers but just with a different audience(who enjoyed musicals), is that really a failure?A musical no matter how good is completely different to the first one, completly different genres and therefore audience.
