A star is born 2018 version: Made me angry.
3/2/19 | vanity

Posted on 03/02/2019 3:27:30 AM PST by Fhios

I just finished watching "A star is born" Streaming on Google $5:99 rental and I'm kinda steamed a bit.

No Spoilers

I can handle some of the editing decisions that struck me as odd -- probably cost a few people some oscars as well, and I can even handle the ending. But what bothers me is the crappy stunt the pos agent (rez) pulled at his last scene. I gather he was at one time an agent for Jack but then went with Addy because she was the new star, but the audience deserved to see some sort of karmic retribution heaped upon his head in the end.

On topic comments are welcome.

Don't forget to mark spoilers as spoilers and while we're at it mark trolls as trolls as well.

He's armed and has a big gay Japanese robot.

For extra credit, what similar type show in similar years had a robot/super hero who got his might and strength from smoking cigarettes?

Well, at the 1939 world's fair they had Electro
and he smoked but he wasn't particularly super.

Neither was he Japanese but he could have been gay.

Robots in 1939 kept that sort of thing to themselves.

Robots can't be Japanese.

They're robots.

Racist.

The eyes man, look at the eyes.

Stop this needless racist oppression of harmless robots. We are a nation of immigrants.

I admit. That's pretty damn gay, but I only see one Japanese in the action sequence.

Stop humansplaining.

Wait. Was Janet Gaynor a robot?

Have they infiltrated Hollywood to that extent?

This could be bad.
