If you told me this movie opened last weekend and already made $300 million I would believe you.

I will never understand the cult of Bradley Cooper. Like, how he got to be mega-paid "serious" actor of Hollywood is completely baffling to me. He will always just be one of those ppl who was in Wet Hot American Summer.

I liked him best as a smarmy quasi-supervillain in the TV version of Limitless
It's kind of funny that his most prominent screen role by a fair distance is in the GOTG movies

wait, there was a TV version of Limitless? I though the film sank with Cooper.

I often use him as a grammar example when teaching appositives: "Bradley Cooper, an Oscar-nominated actor, has never given a great performance."
― The Silky Veils of Alfred (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 7 September 2018 19:15 (five years ago) link
You'll change your tune when Cooper wins no fewer than 4 Oscars next February.

Christ is his name on the screenplay too?

By god it is, and with an &, I feel bad for the poor schmuck who had to call himself Cooper’s writing partner

Yeah, no one watched it but he had a recurring cameo in the same role. I, along with approximately 6 other people, actually enjoyed it, way moreso than the movie.

Naturally I checked:

Acting trophies have never been part of anyone's multiple-award-winning Oscar nights.
yeah Limitless the film had one of the more palpable "what the fuck am i doing here?" de Niro roles I've seen.

A STAR IS BORN: When a rockist marries a poptimist, clearly one of them must die. An incredible 30-40 minutes deflated, slightly, by a screenplay that’s not as rich as the music industry conflicts at its center. The songs are bangers though—genuinely. #TIFF2018— k austin collins (@melvillmatic) September 10, 2018

Adding to the positive critical praise, Peter Bradshaw gives it 5 stars in the Guardian, saying it's hokum (quelle surprise), but "outrageously watchable".
"It’s the romantic epic of male sacrificial woundedness and it’s been regenerating like Doctor Who... supercharged with dilithium crystals of pure melodrama."

I just found out Sam Elliott plays Cooper's older brother in this (he's like 30 years older?), which raises the chance I'll see it to about 20%.

Bradley Cooper is the beige demon who makes sure very standard white dudes get to be in everything. He turns a scene to damp sugar quicksand with his treacley fingers and convinces you his vile incantations are him speaking some adorable French. I will fight him.
