Lady Gaga explained why ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ didn’t ‘connect’ with audiences how she ‘intended’ it to.

    Oh, “Didn’t connect with the audiences” is the new “this was shit”? Or is it like modern art, where it is the observers failure to appreciate color thrown randomly at the canvas as beautiful, vibrant, or whatever?

      Honestly, her take sounded quite a bit more reasonable than that. If your an artist, your art isn’t going to connect with everyone all the time, and you have to be ok with that. A lot better than the normal blaming and bullshit that usually goes around when a movie bombs.

        I have to admit that I have not seen that movie, but everybody who has seen it so far that I’ve talked to had a rather negative opinion of it. For me, that is a clear sign that it is shit, and polishing it with words like “it does not connect with everybody” does not turn the turd into gold.
