Between Ramos' connection to 'A Star is Born's' success, and being able to market it as "from the director of 'Crazy Rich Asians'" -- combined with the LMM buzz/hype -- this could turn out to be a bigger than expected hit.
They must not be getting much of an advance going as I've received 3(!) mailers pushing this (bad) show. Large, glossy mailers that are clearly costing them a fair amount of money. Doesn't bode well...
(Sidebar quibble: Cooper, sober 13 years himself, doesn't have the body of a man who's ingested that much booze, revealed when he's shirtless.)
Thought the same thing! haha He's supposed to be a falling-down drunk with a side affection for pills... Yet he seems to make time for a pretty strict physical training routine.
Saw a sneak, and Gaga really is shockingly good. Very natural without a trace of camp... Some of my reaction my be "surprise" as it's coming as such a shock. And Cooper's gonna get a couple of noms I'd predict, for actor and director (if not also for co-writing/adapting.)

I think there's just continual serious over-estimation of how much people really want more of it, how much can be squeezed from it, and even how strong of a property it is in general."
The last two Kong movies made $550m and $566m, and he's returning in another follow-up film (with Godzill
Then She Fell would have been perfect for a late night show... pretty much sold out the weekend we're there (Sunday is completely sold out, and the late show on Fri only seems to have a single premium ticket left.)
Have often been able to do 3 show days by squeezing a 5pm in between 2pm & 8pm shows on a Saturday. Some good, some terrible. Have looked thru off-Broadway listings and didn't see ANY current shows (going mid-Oct) with 5pm starts. Am I missing anything?

Lots of us saw it in the Atlanta try-out with the same cast.

Don’t always know how it’s really gonna look as the studios’ marketing departments usually kick up the color and brightness for ads/trailers. I’m staying optimistic.

Not sure if you're joking, but it kinda looked like a face/head-replacment CGI job. (or at least it does on my laptop... will watch it HD/big screen later)
Still processing this one. Not really sure what to make of it. But love that LMM is honoring the legacy of Americans doing cringe-y over-the-top cockney accents in Mary Poppins movies... haha

Didn’t know they were also available on Amazon. I’ve bought the 2012-2016 and 2018 shows from iTunes. 2017 is conspicuously absent — cough Spacey cough. (With they’d edit him out of 2017 and just release a performance-only version where he doesn’t appear, if he’s truly the glitch.
