Im pretty sure they're trolling everyone. No way it's going to be a musical, no way DC is that idiotic to let such an R rated franchise go to shit right? DC has never done.....

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
I don't really like her.. but this is just how Americans talk about "ancestry."
Particularly if you are from the NE, there is a lot of Italian-American immigrants and her family is one of them.. so what's the big deal? I mean this isn't even particularly American.. just how most 2nd/3rd generation immigrants identify anywhere.
I mean her name is some long-winded Italian name with like 3 middle names lol

The Sopranos taught me that italo-americans aren't italians at all, they are americans with some cultural leftovers from the old country.

WTF are you talking about? A music could be absolutely amazing.Im pretty sure they're trolling everyone. No way it's going to be a musical, no way DC is that idiotic to let such an R rated franchise go to shit right? DC has never done.....

I mean sure.. as is anyone by the 2nd or 3rd generation of immigration.
Nobody would bat an eye at a 3rd generation Indian immigrant saying "I'm Indian".. the way that person lives their life is going to be world's different than people in India too. Some traditions remain, some culture.. lots changes.

I thought it was a joke at first, but I understand now: they want another Oscar, so they're making another kind of Oscar bait film. Instead of a Scorcese inspired movie, we'll get a Baz Lurhman type of Oscar bait.
That said, I'm just not into musical films, so this is an incredibly tough sell for me... but it seems I'm not the target audience for this one.

I weirdly share your optimism. I mean, it could be good, in a weird way. It could be utterly terrible that it's good in and of itself, which will make brilliant youtubers make funny videos. Or it could be so bad that it'll just be funny that it's so crap..This is going to be such a bizarre musical, cant wait
To many ways it could go. Lets do this!

If they could pull off a Moulin Rouge with this, it could be epic, amazing, worthy of Oscars and a timeless classic. Lots could go horribly wrong with this, but I find the prospect of something completely new with this property to be amazing and fun.

Possibly the dumbest question I've ever asked, but I own A Star Is Born, and heard she was great in it. Is this a film I should watch if I want to be convinced that she can work in a Joker sequel? I mean, Zazi Beats was good in the first movie, so not really sure. I never actually had a plan on watching ASIB, and only bought it as a potential date flick. The only thing I remember Gaga in is Machete Kills and Sin City 2. Not exactly roles that would prep her for a Joker 2. Joaquin Phoenix is a force of nature. He deserves to have quality actors surrounding him.

Birds of Prey had a musical scene and it was great. It could be something like that.Im pretty sure they're trolling everyone. No way it's going to be a musical, no way DC is that idiotic to let such an R rated franchise go to shit right? DC has never done.....

This just needs to be a ridiculous fever dream of a film. No point in copying the first movie, or trying to do anything serious. Just fucking go as mental as the Joker can be.

I can't stand Lady Gaga and her ludicrous claims to be some kind of artist. The moment that captures her entire braindead career is when she did an onstage "tribute" to Bowie shortly after he died, at some awards show. My god, she didn't even have a clue about what made Bowie a legend. Her tiny brain could only grasp the idea of a drag spectacle, so she pranced around in costumes as if doing a tribute to Elton John.
I loved the first Joker film, but this musical does not seem to be a good follow-up.

she’s a good actress and has a monster voice of course. but yes that film will at least make you feel at eas that she’ll be fine paired next to a great actor.

Margot Robbie was perfect.
Hope whoever they cast has half of the grunt she did as the character. Hard to top.
EDIT: Lady Gaga, yeah she'll nail it. No Doubt.

I love the zealous nature of them making the sequel a musical and hope it performs well
Joker 1 was Todd Phillips' love letter to Scorsese in a DCU wrapper. This is going to be him paying homage to other films
The average nerd is too dumb to understand. It's exactly why they panned Last Jedi

It depends entirely on the catchiness of the songs. If the tik tok community likes them, it won't bomb.

I disagree. A films fait is not dictated by its tiktok popularity.
A musical no matter how good is completely different to the first one, completly different genres and therefore audience.

Not saying this is the case. I'm saying that popularity could help boost numbers like with other music and films.
What if it had the same viewer numbers but just with a different audience(who enjoyed musicals), is that really a failure?

Joker was great. So long as it keeps up with the tension they could shit on each other's chests for 2 hours, so long as you think someone might get off'd in a brief moment..

I'm intrigued. This is obviously not going to be a standard musical. Based on the title alone, you know the movie will deep dive into mental illness and the delusions shared by Joker and Harley. My guess is the musical numbers will occur during the scenes when Joker and Harley are tripping balls.

The film doesn't need a sequel, but to make a sequel as a musical?!?
I have nothing against musicals. I actually really like a lot of musicals. However, I don't understand why they'd make a sequel to a serious, dark, character study and turn it into a musical? Such a bizarre decision.

this thread title gave me a headache
Gaga can act and A Star is Born is a damn good movie. Her and Bradley Cooper's chemistry in it is powerful. Excellent music too and if you are the kind of person that can be emotionally moved, it is totally that.
