LR reviews A Star is Born - Page 4

KKlim · ‎06-20-2015

Hi @ Wildcat fan.. as u said it's just become downright distracting and just odd on all levels..It's become a routine for her. I wonder if she does this at her public speaking engagements that people pay good money to go to..? You would think her beloved confidante Katie or even David would tell her to get a new schtick because that one is getting old and unbecoming for a 50+ year old..I guess they are afraid to say something.

So, tell us, "Johhnysbro," how does Lisa like the Katy Perry line of shoes? Does she think they are Madison Avenue material?

Hi @Phantom41... I have to agree w/ you. As a 54 yo myself, I can't imagine doing these antics on my sofa, asking people to spend their hard earned money on my sourced items, while I continually wipe my nose, pick at my lashes + fix my hair over my shoulder...yikes..

No offense here, but 'can't imagine' or 'can't' - let's clarify. Obviously she 'can' and most 'can't' , otherwise everyone would be doing it.

She's happy, she's earning a living and chooses to do such. Leave the woman alone.

And allow those who like and admire her be who they are.

Such hostility, I just don't get it.

Am I missing something? LR has been gone from QVC and there are still posts regarding her and everything she does, says and sells! Don't get me wrong, I like LR and have joined in her "chats" from time to time, but just find this an odd place for people to post about her.

You might want to ask @JONNYSBRO this. They seem fixated on posting on her all the time.

No comment about LR.

However, Hollywood seems to have lost any creativity. They put out re-do after re-do. A Star is Born must have been done 4 times including the most recent film. The first one was done in the 1930's. Then there was the Judy Garland feature in the 1950's, Babs Streisand did it in the 1970's, now another one. Sorry, I have no idea which star is born in this revival.

If it weren't for computer generated special effects and reprisals of old films, Hollywood hasn't much to offer.

I never saw the original movie, and so I read her review today after seeing this thread. After reading her review, I still don't know what the movie is about. LR loved the movie, that much I could figure out.

She gushed about the movie, and that was about it. It really doesn't qualify as any kind of review. (She's not a good writer, either. It's just a lot of repetition, a whole lot of words that don't amount to much.)

U know i could see LR and Bradley Cooper as a real life couple..hes an A list movie star and she loves to be surrounded by wealth. They would be a perfect match.
Nah. Bradley is with a supermodel who is 10 years his junior.

And even if he wasn't, it's quite a stretch to say they would be a perfect match. Why? Because they look good together and have chemistry on camera? That indicates nothing about who they actually are or anything else about them. There have been plenty of on-screen couples who didn't get along at all off-screen.

But I guess since "he's an A list movie star and she loves to be surrounded by wealth", that's reason enough for them to be a real-life couple. Seriously, that's just incredibly shallow.

I watched Lisa's recap of the week ahead and she started by wiping her nose, then her eyelashes, then continually adjusting her hair, and then calling out all the dozens of tribe names to say hi..I didn't make it to the actual recap...
They all seem to be like that. So weird how she fidgets, wipes her nose, digs at her eyes, etc. because she didn't do it so much while she was at Q. It gets really distracting and downright disgusting. Is it a nervous tick because she's really feeling the pressure to perform or could there be underlying health issues? Whatever it is, it's hard to watch, especially coupled with all the boring shout outs to the tribe. I've found that the first 20-25 minutes of her chats usually start the same way. I've done the same--got bored and tuned out before she even talked about a product.

I work with on-camera people every day, and some of them sometimes have health issues (a cold, sore throat, etc.) and others have more serious ongoing conditions. The public usually doesn't know, though, because they're professionals. They're very aware of the cameras, and they know what to do, what not to do, and how to handle an unexpected sneeze, cough, momentary loss of voice, etc. Wiping noses definitely happens before and after shows, not during!

I would cut LR some slack if she had started out by selling things from her couch. But she had years of experience on television. I think she's trying to be everyone's friend and is going for a relaxed vibe. IMO she's going about it the wrong way. She seems like an amateur and very unprofessional.
