    The Throbber has suffered through A Star is Born. It's m'eh kind of movie. Good music, good acting chops by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper playing a junior version of Sam Elliott. But I didn't walk out of there saying "OMG, that's the greatest movie I've ever seen". It was fine. Just fine.

    It was too fucking long at 2 hours 15 minutes. Could have wrapped that shit up in 1:30.

    Guess the third time wasn't the charm?

    I liked the Streisand one with Chris Christoperson

    I was too young in '76 to see it in the theaters and have never made the effort on video. Babs is a talent for sure and there's some bonafide hits and the soundtrack was a huge success.

    I loved the '18 version. Made me a fan of Gaga whom I really never paid much attention. JFC can she sing/write/piano and there's a full frontal shot. Boobs!

    Bradley Cooper is good at everything. He co-wrote the script and some of the songs, directed, stars in and sings/plays guitar. His irl dog co-stars.

    It has an 88 on metacritic v. 58 for the '76 version. So there's that.

    Throbber is right, the 3rd qtr drags a bit. They did a lot of character development that sets up the 4th, but if you know the plot already if might seem a little extraneous.

    I'm predicting multiple oscar nods...director, original song (at least 2 noms), actor (both gaga and cooper), supporting actor for sam elliot.

    Andrew Dice Clay has a decent size supporting role as Gaga's father. Barely recognized him.

    My OP was more about the music (since this is the record shoppe) and not the film, but I bet you'd like it. Not everyone will, but someone as sentimental as you will need to pack your Kleenex. Not a dry eye in the house.

    Didn't move me a bit. And The Throbber cries like a bitch in movies.

    Not this time. Nothing.

    Good tunes though. Gaga has a nice rack. A REALLY nice rack.

    There’s no reason why I should like this movie. And I didn’t.


    I loved it.

    Respectfully disagree with the song rankings
    1 - Shallows
    2 - Remember this way
    3 - Look what I found
    4 - before I cry
    5 - I’ll never love again

    The Shallows scene was amazing

    The Throbber will stick with Gaga's boobs as the most touching part of the movie.

    People still give a fuck about this shit? Oscars, Golden Globes, etc are mindnumbing stupidity. Anyone who watches that shit should die under a gas truck.

    To be clear, I’m fully faggy enough to love this movie, but nowhere near flaming enough to give two bedazzled shits about the Oscars.

    The Oscars used to be the shit.

    Now they are just shitty.

    I’ve always recognized the talent, but never liked the product until some of these songs.

    The Throbber is speculating.
