I can’t wait to see this movie.

Cooper is easily one of the best actors in Hollywood. I think this maybe his best film wver. Yes even better than silver linings playbook

I mean, I've heard it's good. But lady Gaga? As others have pointed out, it's hard to believe she's ever shy

She was an actress first, like the Disney princesses.

Remember her in The Sopranos?

That’s why they call it acting...


But I have read something where she said she’s extremely self conscious about how she looks, hence all they crazy makeup and costumes all the time. Which is why Cooper didn’t let her wear any makeup for the movie

I thought she had been starting to lay off the makeup and costumes over the past few years already.

There is a scene when Cooper asks why she hasn’t made it as a singer yet. She says she was told by the higher ups that she didn’t have a good nose to be a star. Cooper really made her take her defenses down as a director, because she is extremely self conscious.

In many ways she's still an actress even when she was just singing. Its just Lady Gaga is the character she plays. Stefani Germanotta studied method acting for years before her team created the Lady Gaga character.

I know, it sounds odd that Lady Gaga might be shy in real life but I've known, as an example, a few strippers who are nothing in real life like they are when they are stripping. They can safely step into a persona and be that person for a few hours and then go back to their normal life.

I'll likely never see this movie.

Saw the Mason/Garland version as a kid and it was horrible.

Saw the Streisand/Kristofferson version in college and it sucked donkey balls.

This one can only be worse IMHO. Not even going to give it a chance. Would rather watch The Color Purple voiced over in Spanish and dubbed in Russian.

Your movie opinions are typically terrible, so this movie is definitely going to be good now.

Will see this.

Trailer looks great but I've seen the trailer 3 times now everytime this thread pops up and am now worried Cooper's voice is going to grate on me over two hours ala Jeff Bridges in True Grit as I am already sort of sick of it after 6 minutes of trailers.

She has been. Her last album was a big departure from her previous stuff.

From what I understand, everyone is this version is very good . Apparently Dave Chappelle is great in his role.....and Sam Elliott is Sam Elliot

I saw a trailer online and GaGa really at least in the trailers seems to be extremely believable

It’s amazing to me that after all this time people still think Lady Gaga is just another Britney Spears or “flavor of the month” type singer.

It’s easy to overlook how absurdly talented she is.

people still think

Gaga did that to herself. Early on, pre-fame, she was called the female Freddie Mercury (who wrote the song Radio Gaga, thus the Lady Gaga stage name)

Instead, she (successfully) used the Madonna pop-dance-music/outrageous-costumes/controversial-sexuality formula that marginal talents like Britney & Miley use to cash in on mega-fame & mega-fortune.

That's all fine & dandy, but after years of Pokerface type-crap, it's perfectly reasonable that the general public can't see through the cheap branding and see a mature talent.
