Bradley 57,451 Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 (edited) So I actually expected them to have shelved the Harlequin tape because obviously the movie was received poorly. But folks are actually checking out Joker: FAD nowdays and there's a sizable portion of the GP who are defending the movie. Not just little monsters but actual moviegoers from the GP are defending it and saying the initial moviegoers didn't get it and were only mirroring each other's opinions. I dk what the theme was for the Harlequin show but given the setlist comprising jazz and ballads, it's probably wise to utilise the Christmas hype? I just don't see how it'd see the light of the day if it's not by the end of the year. They should definitely push for the 'Our movie was misunderstood and ahead of its time' narrative. I'm not even saying this for strategic purposes - the movie is genuinely misunderstood. With the release of Harlequin tape, people will be objective enough, at this time, to dissociate her contributions from the flaws of the script. Joker: FAD is technically still being considered for awards even if chances are not high, so it makes sense to release it within the awards cycle too. Once she's got this out of the way, both the GP and little monsters can start the year fresh with completely dark visuals and themes undistracted by Die With A Smile, Harlequin and Joker. She could, and should go all in for LG7 and have no holds barred. Thoughts? Edited December 16 by Bradley 10 3 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa 15,689 Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 It thought this would be the ideal solution since it wasn't released immediately But it's available on Max right? They could release it when it's free everywhere Anyway i think it's a waste they didnt capitalize on some kind of christmas exclusive dvd plus cd deal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a 'they didn't get it' narrative going around. Edited December 16 by Bradley 2 1 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautyisaLie 864 Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 Everyday I'm hoping somehow they release an alternative cut with all the Lee scenes that were cut off from the movie, but sadly they won't 🎼 It's dark but just a game. 🖤🎧 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is to group these 'side projects' together so that LG7 can have its own limelight by next year. I think Disease partially underperformed because there have been so many huge releases this year (including Gaga's own DWAS and Harlequin) so by the time it was LG's turn, the GP was kind of tired of new music. With the new year, people's interests are being reset and it could benefit the second single and album rollout.

metalguru 974 Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 No. Don’t dilute the build up for LG7. Release it next XMAS, as part of Grammy campaign. I am sure it will get nominated. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it will get nominated. There’s gonna be absolutely no demand for a Joker-themed concept album in a year. IMO, I think dropping the Harlequin special now fits well into the multifaceted marketing she’s been doing (promoting DWAS, Disease, and, briefly, Harlequin + FAD at the same time). I don’t think releasing this now will dilute the build up to LG7 in the same way dropping a one-off Christmas single also doesn’t dilute the LG7 buildup.

Thanks. She should do as she wishes, then. As always! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
