:flutter: did you cry?

Ugh my queen was so perfect. I actually didn't cry, I was confused about what happened until the last song. I'm shook though. It even touched my bf's heterosexual heart. A film for everyone.

Omg girl

I did but idk how that works or how long it takes. :joker:

I've been thinking about the film all day. :bawling: I am so touched.

I've had "Why Did You Do That?" randomly stuck in my head ALL day long :skull:

Great film, Bradley and Lady GaGa were fantastic in it. She's a brilliant actor actually.

:worship: She is so talented

:flutter:

Ireland have been stanning, single album and film #1 for something like 6 weeks!

What was your fave song in the film?

Oh nevermind that listen to this amazing piece of information I just learned yesterday :amazed:

Bradley Cooper Got Tutored By Eddie Vedder For His Role In The New ‘A Star Is Born’ Remake

https://liveforlivemusic.com/wp-cont...PM-740x390.png

On Friday, October 5th, the latest reboot of Hollywood classic A Star Is Born will hit theaters nationwide. The new update stars real-life pop superstar Lady Gaga and four-time Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper, who also made his directorial debut and on the film. In the new remake of A Star Is Born, Cooper plays a heavy-drinking, aging musician who discovers and falls in love with a budding young singer-songwriter (Gaga) and spirals out of control as her rising star begins to eclipse his own. In order to capture the essence of a middle-aged rock star onscreen, Cooper consulted with someone very familiar with that sort of character: Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder.

As Bradley Cooper explains in a video interview with Yahoo Entertainment, “I went up to Seattle and spent four or five days with him and I asked him 9,000 questions. And he gave me minor, little things that only musicians know about what to do, just aesthetically and the inner workings. … He was wonderful.” Cooper also joked that Vedder initially warned against him making another A Star Is Born remake. “He thought it was crazy I was going to do this movie,” Cooper laughed. “He was like, ‘What? Bro, don’t do that.’”

That hesitance from Vedder is understandable. In 1937, at the dawn of the Technicolor era in film, the showbiz romantic drama stole the hearts of audiences everywhere with its tale of an aspiring young actress’s fraught path toward Hollywood success starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. An oft-referenced piece of timeless American cinema, A Star Is Born has been remade periodically, including an updated interpretation starring Judy Garland and James Mason (1954) and a rock musical version featuring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson (1976). Cooper’s remake will mark the fourth version of the film to be released.

This is now available for digital download on iTunes :hee:

Doesn't seem that long ago it was out.

I think it’s being released to capitalize on awards season, Blu Ray is released just after the Oscars too

Unpopular opinion but i didn't rate this film at all. Great performances from Cooper and Gaga but it drags on half way through.

Wait which half do you think is a drag? Bc the second half has some of the films best scenes imo, although I think it’s a masterpiece start to finish.

I just found it lost its stamina half way through although there were some brilliant moments like Cooper pissing himself on stage and the ending did have me screaming (in my head of course) DONT KILL YOURSELF BECAUSE OF THAT PRICK OF A MANAGER!

Maybe i worded it wrong, i did enjoy the film but i felt it didnt live up to expectations/hype.

Just my opinion.

I've only just seen this :worry:

I thought it was great, but I had a couple of problems with it.

1) The idea that Ally wouldn't really be able to admit that she'd sort of sold out and was doing crappy pop after everything was a little mystifying, I felt they could've played more on the creative differences storyline really because it fizzled down to one bathtub scene.
2) I also thought the Grammys scene was a little too OTT... it could've been just as effective without him pissing himself :laugh: I think if that were to actually happen the popstar's career would just... that'd be all she'd be known for.

Idk how the hell I went this long without seeing it and STILL not knowing what happened at the end :skull: all in all it's a great film, acted brilliantly, but would've just liked a little more story.

....ughhh, we need to talk, Shaun...she didn’t sell out, not at all...I have to rush off and you need to sleep because you’re obviously delirious or something...but we need to talk...you should watch the Judy and Babs versions as well, if you get the time...

I haven't even seen Judy in the Wizard of Oz, what makes you think I have the time for that!

And girl. 'Why Did You Do That?' is clearly a send-up of crap pop :oh:

Diane Warren famously and quite adamantly claimed that Why Did You Do That is supposed to be good and taken seriously, which... I'll choose to believe anyway :love:

“No, it’s not the intention. I would never purposefully sit down to write a bad song, although I guess I’ve done some without trying that turned out that way. This was a fun song, and I love fun pop songs. Not everything has to be serious all the time… The directive was just to write a fun song, something that shows she’s becoming this pop artist.”


“I’ve seen stuff like that, where they try to push an artist — especially a female artist — into something they’re not, and then they rebel against it and try to discover what their true voice is. But by the way, maybe her true voice is being a pop star, you know? And that’s O.K., if that’s who you are.”


...some of the most talented and credible artists we know, have still done ‘chart/mainstream stuff’ etc...sometimes, before you are listened to in depth, you have to reach first...and that’s just that of that, it isn’t selling out...and a pop princess, for instance ...is just as credible and talented as any other artist who shows magnificence in what they do...anyways, I’m still rushing, so...

Yes that covers my take on the movie as well .. overall very enjoyable- I was tearful in the scene where he had to persuade her to join him in stage to sing her song ..

I didn’t like the ending ...
