Gaga, Singing, and Acting

I remember after HOG, the write-ups gave Gaga a lot of the credit for the decent box office. The idea of her being a box-office draw is going to go away after this mess, though, unfortunately. I actually think Gaga is a box office draw, but not enough to overcome the bad buzz. 

While I had issues with Joker 2, I do think everything is kind of overblown. The cinemascore being worse than The Flash and Aquaman 2 is insane. Meh.

Anyway, I kind of hope she focuses on her music now, but am I the only one who would be excited to see her do Broadway and/or a comedy? Something that isn't awards-oriented?

I actually hope she doubles down on acting. She's universally praised in every movie for a reason! She's good at it!

There's nothing like seeing her on the big screen!

i've been feeling for weeks that she should give up the Oscar chase for a while and just enjoy acting for the sake of it, explore different genres and let that continue to inspire her creativity

it would be a shame to see her burn herself out because she can't seem to snag that best actress award again and again, that frustration could bleed over into her music career too

i think adding diversity to her catalogue rather than awards will help her come across as a more confident and seasoned actress who's willing to give a good, well developed project a go rather than an oscar bait "snob"

I hope this too.

But she should avoid :

comic book/live action movies, sequel movies, political movies, remake (even if ASIB was a remake, it's always risky), biopics, historical movies.

Some of this genres can works but it can be very polemical too...

She fit to :

Thrillers, Horror movies, musical (even if it won't do big numbers), romance movies, comedy, science-fiction, fantastic.

She might be a box office draw but she picks bad movies so it’s kinda a wash :ladyhaha:

The movie bombs. OK. But Gaga is great at acting. At first sight, Lee was and still is a character she loved and signed for. As someone said, Harlequin is also here to make some sort of amends and the look and giggle between Gaga and Joachim when they've been asked about the result is telling.

This doesn't mean there’s a choice to make for her here. J2 failure should not weigh on Gaga between her acting and singing skills. She has probably learned again a thing or two for the next time, though...

Don’t force a multi-talented artist into a single or restricted creative path. It's bad for one's balance and ill-fated in the end.

Gaga is a much better actor than a box office draw. AHS Hotel is here to prove it. She's not the one to blame because the movie bombs.

Plus, the Oscar chase is more a stan monsters wishful thinking than Gaga's.

I want to see her get stuck into some indie projects. Something like the new Demi Moore film, which I watched after she was on Graham Norton alongside Gaga. Perhaps in the horror or historical genres, just something which takes more salient risks and is perhaps a little more innovative.

She needs to pick roles in the future where they don't try to pigeonhole her into a singing part. One gets the sense from Joker 2 that they only brought her on for musical numbers which is a real shame because her acting was good and Harley shold have been explored more as a character

She has to give acting one more shot but not with some male co-star and no more musicals. I see a lot of people blaming Gaga, that Joker 2 is a musical - I have a feeling it might give negative stigma for future roles. Since GP will just associate her name with surprise musicals.

She needs to produce and fund her own indie film.

House of Gucci had its flaws, but it was generally an okay film with a compelling story and cast of characters. Gaga having top billing helped draw people into the theatres, but if the movie had been truly terrible, I don't think she could have saved it.

Joker 2 is just not a good film. It isn't horrible, but it just isn't good. And this film is way, way bigger than her. If the die-hard fans of the first movie are absolutely tearing the sequel apart, no movie star on earth -- not even Gaga -- can overcome that.

Honestly, no matter how her movies have been received, she has always been praised. And I haven't read reviews, but I'm sure Joker FAD will be the same. The only idiots who wouldn't praise her acting ability would be misogynistic incels who think a woman's only value is her sex appeal (the 'she's not MY Harley' neckbeards you seen in comment sections). I think her acting career is still safe. After HoG and FAD though she needs to land something that will be well received

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Oh yeah! So many men apparently go to cinema to fantasize about banging the actress like...

Watch her itws instead of making it such a sad key criteria in a movie success...
