alright just left this movie. some takeaways and no spoilers:
- less than 15% of the movie is even close to musical focused
- way, way too much lady gaga side profile
- the story fleshes out a bit of what happened during the first movie but focuses on the aftermath
- lady gaga is just a fangirl
- movie finishes in a way the joker story can't ever continue
these are just quick takeaways if you guys want more in depth I can
6.5/10 wasn't awful, wasn't a musical but wasn't great either

anyway dont let the tag of "musical" sway you away from this. the "musical" parts are less frequent than a normal movie would have a loud musical sequence. less than 20m in 2h18m ~6% of the movie
-
would i tell you to go watch it?
hard no
if its free/somebody is streaming it it's worthwhile to flesh out the story but it's really unremarkable. it feels like lady gaga wanted somebody to make a movie with her as the pro/antagonist
-
this movie felt a lot like lady gaga saw herself as a protagonist and wrote herself into it
-
@p pete i never really understood what people meant by a woman ruined something. i watched it today. that woman ruined that movie
-
@graf Ha, they didn't wanna do a sequel but studios will hire hit men over $1B. Maybe this was "The Producers" and they intended to make a plausible bomb.

@graf Todd Phillips followed GG Allin around. He held a camera while GG stopped singing, got off the stage, shat onto the floor, rolled in it, smeared it on his face, and then started assaulting people in the audience. You think there's a guy that can hold a camera steady while that happens but that can't handle Lady Gaga?

@graf holy shit what happened to this woman's face

@p i'd believe he wanted a sequel but didnt want to write the character into a corner and lady gaga showed up and drove it into the fucking ground
-
@p oh yeah look at her from the side. todd phillips filmed her from the side for 90% of her screen time. her nose is fucking huge
-
@graf Holy fucking shit. Because I quit smoking and thus have not for many years looked at magazine covers while waiting for the guy behind the counter to get me a pack of reds, I have not seen her since the meat dress thing. She must have gone to a real butcher, man. Women don't age like this, they don't turn into gremlins.

@graf I thought the Harley Quinn thing was supposed to be moderately creepy because she's a teenager, like, a groupie instead of some middle-aged smug woman.

@graf Just for a second. There was a crash, I've been rejiggering the whatsis.

@p the funny thing about the movie is they have lady gaga in all these costumes and all these makeup changes for the movie promotion but she is only in those the last maybe 10-20 minutes of the movie. the entire movie she's a nondescript nobody. you can tell they filmed the movie and its parts around her and she was the catalyst for it. she wrote herself into the entire movie and im actually disgusted about it
picture related. they film her doing this makeup for like 5-6 minutes and it's her face for maybe 1-2 minutes at the end of the movie

@p pete brother your media is broken
-
@p @SilverDeth @graf >I have met women before
My condolences.
-
@p @graf The wall.
-
@SilverDeth @graf I have met women before; this doesn't happen to their faces. You've got to be on every prescription plus scalpels and botox and collagen. I have never met an old woman that looks like Nancy Pelosi, this kind of thing doesn't happen to a human face naturally.
-
@Humpleupagus @p during half of the movie they had her in a sweater and sweatpants in an insane asylum. they were building her up as the male teen cum queen
-
Lady Gaga has just never done it for me. Even makeup and lighting doesn't work.
Katie Perry or Taylor Swift have their moments if the camera work is just right, but Lady Gaga has always been a six at best. Those flapjacks don't help.
-
Hear me out. I have a theory.
-
@Humpleupagus @p bro they arent even flapjacks its like if you hung the turkey skin off the balcony to chill because one of your cousins wanted turkey jerky to take home
-
@mint @SilverDeth @graf I'll recover.
