was this scene in the movie? I can’t remember if they cut that one as well or not

tks

 

 

Nope!

Spoiler

They cut the kicks and the hip thrusts entirely. You just see a glimpse of them in these outfits right before the wedding sequence.

To whoever watched it, would you classify it as a musical? Also how different are the songs compared to Harlequin?

Yes!

Spoiler

All of them were different versions of the songs (or at least most because there is a LOT of music in this movie), usually more classical renditions. IIRC only the song during the waltz was intact from Harlequin but there could be some snippets here and there.

Warner Bros had a huge hand in casting her. Joaquin and Todd both discussed wanting Joaquin’s wife as Lee three years ago when it was announced that Gaga being in the movie was in a thing. 

He was because he was half owner of the production company with Bradley that produced ASIB. Just like Bradley was credited as a producer for the first Joker. They dissolved their production company in 2020-21 and now are no longer credited in each others work. Maestro was in development before they dissolved but I’m not sure how Todd is credited for that film 

Ohh I didnt know they broke up lol :poot:

I'm not very good with Social Mediaᵀᴹ

No I don’t think so. twitter’s always saying too much.

She is acknowledged by multiple people in the movie. I don’t think for the purposes of the narrative she is a hallucination.

To those who've seen it, what I want to know is... Lead Actress or Supporting Actress — where do you think she should compete?

But I heard that it has happened in Part 1 which is probably why they thought same thing happens here. But there was no reason to believe that that's the case with Lee.

I honestly did not hate the movie. my final rate would be a 7.8 instead of the 8 I’d said before because they really could have done more with Lee. I think Gaga and the musical acts are what counted for me.

people who wanted to see where it would take the character next were rightfully let down. 

Spoiler

it dwelves into this duality of Arthur vs Joker for some time before it suddenly ends.

I — didn’t really enjoy it :selena: Gaga was amazing, as was Joaquin but… I just felt like it was missing something :bradley:

Supporting. but I wouldn’t put my hopes high because the character itself was not that developed.

Definitely supporting.

I was happy with the amount of screen time she had and it was one of her best work yet as an actress but I can see how the movie not being able to hit the mark will affect her chances of getting noms again (the same way it did with HoG).

But this time there's music involved (including one she wrote herself) so hopefully that helps with other categories!

Right?? And neither was their relationship.

Spoiler

All the time jumps. And the kisses/intimacy between them felt so forced and awkward.

Little Mermaid had more development than this. :messga: :messga:

Every review that pops up on my social feeds mention Gaga as being the standout. That makes me happy but it feels like House Of Gucci all over again where she’s called the savior of a not so well executed movie… we were hopeful for a nom then but got snubbed, I hope that doesn’t happen again…

Let's hope the awards people are itching to vote for her enough to at least secure a nomination. But with Ariana and Selena in the same category, they might be hesitant to put up so many pop girls there.

Tbh, I dont't think character development isn't much of a dealbreaker for supporting. I always go back to Jamie Lee Curtis, because her role had no development whatsoever in EEAAO and she got the W.

But if you guys are not very optimistic then maybe the role really isn't enough.

I was so hyped for this movie but the whole consensus feels a bit like... there's not much going on in it, too little Gaga, and the musical element doesn't work :traumatica:

Going to try and watch with an open perspective but it's so disappointing it's ended this way :bradley:
