Tom Ford “Laughed Out Loud” While Watching “House Of Gucci”
House of Gucci got meh reviews from critics who thought it was too camp to be serious and too serious to be camp. Well, Tom Ford, who breathed new life into Gucci as its head designer in the 90s and is featured as a character in it, has given his thoughts on that method-out extravaganza. Tom says that HoG is equivalent to the “nighttime soap Dynasty for subtlety,” and he couldn’t tell if he was watching a real movie or a “Saturday Night Live version of the tale.” Was Kenan Thompson in it? Because that’s how you can tell.
The Critical Consensus Is That “House of Gucci” Needed To Pick A Lane
Ridley Scott Eats Own Hat might be a headline we see tomorrow after all those “apathetic millennials” who skipped The Last Duel turn around and flock to the theaters to see Lady Gaga go full Eyetalian in House of Gucci. According to Mashable, the critics are still torn about the film’s overall quality but everyone agrees that “Lady Gaga’s performance is something to behold,” the collective shade of which is the biggest gain we’ve had in combating global warming to date. That’s camp baby, that’s millennial catnip right there. Unmoisturized Matt Damon not so much. But most importantly, the consensus seems to be that the “outsized performances” in HOG make it, at the very least, “entertaining,” thus buying the Calderone glacier a little more time before it melts completely into the Adriatic sea.
Ridley Scott Blames Millennials With Cellphones For The Box Office Failure Of “The Last Duel”
Ridley Scott directed two big movies that came out this year: House of Mario Bros. Gucci which is out this week, and The Last Duel, which was released on October 15. Well, change the name from The Last Duel to “The Most Recent Flop” because it tanked at the box office. The film starred Matt Damon and Adam Driver who enter a duel to the death after Jodie Comer‘s character accuses Adam’s character of rape. Audiences did not pour into theaters to watch a period piece about a woman’s sexual assault and Ridley thinks he knows why. Ridley believes his movie tanked because millennials love using their phones… or something.
The First Reactions To “House Of Gucci” Are All Over The Place
Method actress Lady Gaga‘s next Oscar vehicle, House of Gucci, comes out on November 24 and recently had its UK premiere. A lot of critic-types have already seen it and Variety says that the social media embargo recently lifted on the film, meaning they were free to talk shit about it on Twitter–which people did. And much like the hammed-up accents in the movie, it seems that reactions to the film are all over the place.
It’s-A Me-A! The “House Of Gucci” Trailer Brought ALL The Italian Accents
Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, and Al Pacino went to Italy and cranked that shit up to a million. We’ve seen pictures from Ridley Scott‘s House of Gucci set and they were enough to piss off the Gucci Family so I’m breathless to hear what they have to say after seeing this film in action. First comes character posters, then comes the trailer, which was released last night. And holy crap the accents were all over the place. They were so affected and crazy, the first time I watched this I forgot Lady Gaga was legitimately Italian.
The “House Of Gucci” Character Posters Are Here
In honor of the House of Gucci trailer dropping tonight, MGM released a bunch of molto elegante e drammatico character posters featuring the film’s leads. We’ve already seen some on-set pap shots and star Lady Gaga tweeted a pic of her and Adam Driver in full rich-Italian-nineties-chalet mode, but this is our first official look at the entire Gucci famiglia. It includes an unrecognizable Jared Leto in fat/bald Bobby Cannavale drag. At that point, why even spend the cash hiring Jared Leto? For all we know they could be Trojan Horse-casting Kevin Spacey under all those prosthetics! Continue reading
