Bradley Cooper to direct Lady Gaga in "A Star is Born"

[Lily Adler]

Fat suit? Bale is all fat.

 

[Schlosser85]

I want to see Christian Bale as Cheney face off with Gary Oldman as Churchill in fat suit wrestling match.

Oldman wore a fat suit, Bale actually gained all that weight.

Anymore reviews?

I've been seeing people compare her song I'll Never Love Again favorably to Whitney's version of I Will Always Love You.

Going to catch this over the weekend since all of my Letterboxd peeps are raving about it.

Now, now, play nice. People can dislike Lady Gaga and not be considered trolls.

What's funny is... I'm not in anyway a fan of Gaga. I don't like her music... But that's actually not the same thing as saying she has no talent. She has OODLES of talent, as a song writer and performer and as a mistress of public spectacle... I just don't happen to like what she produces with that talent but that's not the same as saying she's lacking in a voice or creative vision. This is a distinction most people can't seem to make online.

I think it's a case of people not liking an actor or singer but having to admit their product is good. Though a lot of people feel like they have to say their product is **** otherwise it negates their opinion.

On the movie, it was very well shot. Cooper has an eye for images and certain direction angles and it works. Dem eyes on Gaga tho. When she be staring at you, she be staring at you, lol.

I loved the moment when

Cooper told his brother that he idolized him and you could see the tears in Sam Elliott's eyes as he backed up his truck. cool way to handle that moment in a non-cliché way

You nailed it. There’s a difference between not like someone, and randomly someone calling talentless due to your dislike.

I thought the movie started off pretty awkward but as it went along it got better and better. The music scenes are probably the best part of the movie. It really feels like you are watching a rock concert.

I’m skipping the first weekend showing but I’m really looking forward to this.

Given all this hype, it wouldn’t really be that surprising if Cooper walks away with at least one Oscar. Imagine if he wins Best Actor AND Best Director at the same night. Clint Eastwood who? Kevin Costner who?

 

[terry78]

Come a long way from the guy starring in the ****ing Hangover movies.

 

[kvz5]

He’ll always be Will Tippin to me.

 

[terry78]

I still have never seen him perform the Rocket Raccoon voice on camera. It would still be a shock to me.

 

[harlequinade]

Cooper is winning Best Actor unless Bale delivers an undeniable tour-de-force as Cheney.

Vice script is quite incredible but I think Cooper will easily win

 

[kvz5]

Bale’s biggest roadblocks are he won already and you know he doesn’t give a f*** about campaigning. His character is also unlikeable.

Maybe it’s still too early but I’m fascinated with how Cooper seems to be more immune to the backlash others (see Hathaway and Redmayne) got for campaigning too much and being too “thirsty” for the gold.

Redmayne has zero charm and took the easiest route to Gold - playing a real person. Hathaway's antics were just cringeworthy and she did it with this 'oh poor me i couldn't eat!' attitude

Bale won for Supporting though

It was a great movie, Gaga did a great job . They also did a great job updating the story and loved seeing the drag queens, they got plenty of laughs from the small older audience I was with.

I mentioned that to my girlfriend after we walked out... felt very Whitney.

$100 this is to credit to Gaga... easily not in the script when Dirty Harry was directing.

Sam Elliot and Andrew Dice Clay surprised me the most.

 

[Rodimus]

lol thanks for making me laugh.

You, actually, have no idea. That is the same as not knowing anything as a fact.

Meaning, you can't tell the future.

 

[Lily Adler]

So which song do you think will be up for Best Original Song? I'm leaning towards Is That Alright?, but it'll probably be Shallow.
