So… looks like he thinks what he does because of the embargo, which is fair all things considered.

But we’ve established MGM’s had heavy embargoes for several of its movies this year.
Doesn’t Licorice Pizza also have a social embargo till the 11th? Yet we still had early reactions for this as we had for HoG. I think it’s clear this is not 94 on metacritic but these pundits seem to overdo it. Besides a meh critical reception doesn’t end a movie award campaign.

Exactly, he’s clearly lying. He definitely knows that LP has an embargo too. But he wants to use this last day of the embargo to trash the movie. But, people should just ignore him rather than engage with him.
He lied about Gucci being the only film. LP also has an embargo confirmed by Variety. But Gaga fans should stop arguing with him and the others. You’re not going to change the mind of someone who’s decided they don’t want to like the movie. You’re just generating more traffic and visibility for them.
I mean look at his twitter profile. He’s an anti vaxxer liking anti-big bird tweets, wrote about Gaga being ugly and a man, and thinks sinking HoG will help the last duel. Clearly he has his preferences. MGM should’ve just let the embargo pass because it allows for people with a certain agenda to perpetuate that the movie isn’t good, even though there has been a ton of positive social reax.
There’s clearly a circle of people that want to push the narrative the movie is bad at every cost and also that person has been proved to be a Gaga hater.

A read on the Jaeger brothers? (Aka Oscar “expert” and his brother)
Do they reject your application to be a YouTube movie person if you're not manically exaggerated throughout each & every video?

And unfortunately Gaga fans don’t know how to lay off of critics so they will only spread their narrative. They did the same thing during Gaga’s ARTPOP era in 2013 and sank the whole campaign. Obviously that won’t happen here, but a certain narrative may take off.
This movie might have clear flaws and draw some critics and pundits off, it’s fair. But why people who work at predicting these stuff simply say this movie is out of question when there’s always more involved in awards campaign?
Besides, the criticisms doesn’t seem Cats or Hillbilly Elegy level (that still got 2 Oscars noms and a big precursor run), just mediocre.Why are so many movie critics absolute dumpster fires of human beings. I unfollowed that Erick Weber dickhead.

Simple: They often want to sound more savvy and prescient than they actually are, so they jump on early absolutes – “that will never happen” – “this is definitely happening” – betting they can cash in some “toldja so” credit down the line.

It’s so tacky how critics clearly have a bias against Gaga, or wish to sink House of Gucci in a plot to boost The Last Duel or Spencer.

The mess
Admittedly, I was not always the biggest Lady Gaga fan but clearly her work in ASIB speaks for itself & she now comprises 75% of my workout playlist, it's possible for tastes to change over time 👍

Yep, sorry I’m not taking a word this guy has to say seriously. A Britney stan and Gaga hater trying to boost TLD by slamming Gucci.

I’m sorry I still don’t understand the logic of this argument that The Last Duel’s awards prospects are inversely proportional to those of House of Gucci. Is it a corollary of the fact that Ridley Scott directed both films, and thus there’s an “only Gaga/Leto or Comer/Affleck can get in, but not both” contention? Mystifying to me, as I recall well when Soderbergh’s Traffic and Erin Brockovich both did quite well for themselves, and no one was slagging one in hopes of boosting the other during that awards season. 🤷

Looks like he wants to be taken seriously this time.
Anyways, apparently the cast will be heading for Italy for the premiere there after London.
The topic ‘House of Gucci (Ridley Scott, Lady Gaga, Adam Driver): Part 4’ is closed to new replies.
