"80 for Brady" soundtrack song "Gonna Be You" with Dolly, Cyndi Lauper, Gloria Estefan, Debbie Harry and Bitchlinda Carlisle

I assume Debbie is somewhere singing in the chorus of this song but unless I missed her entirely she doesn't seem to be in the video....??

Jane Fonda's wig and makeup person hated her. Sheesh! Horrifying.

Dolly: What this jersey needs is rhinestones!

Belinda: What this jersey needs is a turtleneck!

Awww I like seeing them all sing together

That wasn't singing, dear, that was a bag of feral cats being poked by a sharp stick.

and fuck Bitchlinda Carlisle

Bitchlinda Carlisle looks terrible. Just awful.

She looks like Mary Tyler Moore looked at the end on Hot in Cleveland.

She looks like her face is melting off R8.

She has the face she deserves.......manipulative hateful bitch!

You sound Twisted & Jaded.

Is the movie as bad as the song? That was terrible.

I’m actually thankful I didn’t see Debbie Harry in that mess.

That song, just like the movie, is manipulative as fuck. Just because it’s delivered by beloved stars doesn’t mean it’s not a steaming pile of shit.

The bridge in the song is OK. There are mistakes made in details that make the song very tacky, nonetheless. Were any of them awake and able to have creative input - or was it force on them and they took the paycheck.

Did they all have a make up artist on set or an enbalmer?

The song is good but a bit unremarkable but the production makes their voices sound like they’ve been through a vocoder.

It looks like the video was made for $516.32.

It looked like it was filmed on a 1st generation iPad.

That’s the worst song I’ve heard in years.

Where is Debbie Harry? Not only do I not see her, I don't hear her on the song at all.

This movie should have gone straight to video/streaming.

Could this movie be Jane Fonda’s “Trog”?

R23 No, that was Monster-In-Law.

I've always liked Parton fine, but I hate that the media these last few years has been relentlessly foisting her on us, insisting that we love her, just like the whole (calculated) Betty White worship.

Lily Tomlin makes me sick.

R25 And you're so repulsed by Dolly and Lily that you had to come to a thread featuring Dolly and Lily.

Where was Debbie?

Not a great song, but cute enough and it was nice seeing them all. Big fan of all of them..well, not so much Gloria. She’s fine and all but just never really grabbed me.

I'm guessing this will not be the tune that finally gets Diane Warren her Best Song Oscar.

In every interview I’ve seen with the four leads, Sally has been openly annoyed with Rita.

R25: agree, I love Dolly but there’s this forced appreciation/‘love’ of her from people who probably don’t even listen to her songs ever. The same happened with Celine.

I enjoyed the song. It isn't the greatest thing in the world, but better than a lot of the shit that passes for music these days.

The shots of Jane Fonda reminded me of the alternate history, Grace had tons of plastic surgery and married a sleaze ball episode of Grace and Frankie.

The song will play fine over the end credits and then will be forgotten.

r1 r21 r27 She's deleted the promos from her social media and there's silence on that end. Some speculate that she had sociopolitical issues as somebody brought them to her attention after she had agreed and backed out last minute, others say that she has been sickly for a while and perhaps couldn't perform even to the disappointing levels of Estefan and Carlisle. Some suggest she's using again, too. It's hard to say, even the people within her circles say she's just "random" does things or not does things on whims, that's always been her.

r30 the movie about her childhood did well (but not well enough to materialize into a full tv series as they had hoped. It did produce a sequel and connected her with younger generations.) and she's aware she's nearing the end of her life, doesn't have children and wants to ensure that her multiple generations of nieces and nephews are taken care of... as well as the surrounding community (she still makes appearances in the convalescent homes, donates to the local schools, etc) and protect her legacy, theme park, estate and other interests as a whole. She already has an end life plan setup for potential movie deals to counter the inevitably unauthorized stories.

There's also a dearth of 'successful' elder projects right now and demand is high... but quality is far too low. So, Dolly is over-saturated as filler. They don't know how to recapture a GG type show or scene. besides the now elders don't really believe they're elders. So we get more sex in the city types or canned sitcom fodder than we get brutal honesty... plus all the elders are dying, stretched out leathery/rubbery faces and all. -- which goes to the other end of the nepo problem, it's not just the issue of the babies but the same elders that are dragged out for the same carbon copy productions of things they've already done. Lily & Jane at this point are like an Adam Sandler production.

Well, I mean.....our Sal has eyes and ears. And a nose that can smell cunt.

[quote] Lily & Jane at this point are like an Adam Sandler production.

Counting Grace and Frankie, they will have been in three recent productions together.....another film with the two of them.

I think they make a great team but those productions are coming so close together. Then again, the clock is ticking, I suppose.

Boring song but I love all 4 singers.

any news on Jane's cancer treatments?

r35 the tv series was enough.,.. for many that's the only place they know them from or at least, were introduced to them. So, every subsequent film is just a spinoff / alternate reality of their tv characters. The cast of the Golden Girls fell into this as well, more the other three than Bea that recognized the problems in keeping professional proximity. . . not that it helped her much in film or television, though stage is another matter.

Adam Sandler productions aren't just Adam Sandler, he's moved into making prolific amount of comedy and family films that generally all have the same premise, the same gags but just slightly different plots and casts... because it's easy money and the productions don't cost as much when you can knock out two or three at once reusing everything available.

Still, there's this conflict with that we're only seeing a handful of aging celebrities -- most that have had hits in the last few years, so it feels like overexposure... in addition to the media trying to oversell it.

The rest of us have had a lifetime of Lily & Jane, and wondering where the next Jessica Tandy is. (Sure, if we look back, she could fit the bill, too. She had a swing of hits, largely playing the same character. But she found these successes later in life, so it still was "fresh".

The rest of this is just a step or two above Madonna's current antics. It carries a feeling of being financially desperate and emotionally needy to most people. It's the kind of thing you'd want on resume to get a better job, if you didn't already have better credits to your name. They would have been better off doing a remake or sequel to "On Golden Pond" as a lesbian couple and their trouble with their own adult wayward daughter or son. . .

She announced in December that her B-cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is in remission.

thanks R39

The trailer for this movie has played before the last 3 or 4 movies I've watched in a theater. Each time I ask, why was this made? And why is it getting a theatrical release instead of going straight to steaming or cable? It looks terrible.

Seems like such a random selection of singers. Why not just throw in Suzanne Vega and Bonnie Tyler while they're at it?

[quote]I'm guessing this will not be the tune that finally gets Diane Warren her Best Song Oscar.

Just give her an Oscar already so she can retire and go away. Even if it's for this dreck.

What's happening with Belinda's right eye?

Variety: Selected as the opening-night cork-popper for the Palm Springs International Film Festival (whose diva-worshiping audience reps the two demographics this featherweight offering serves best: gay and gray), Kyle Marvin’s directorial debut is a pleasant enough reminder that these gals are still game for a good time.

[quote](whose diva-worshiping audience reps the two demographics this featherweight offering serves best: gay and gray

I'm insulted as both a "gay" and a "gray".

Tom Brady's gonna be pissed it's only old gay men going to this movie.

I saw a (very lengthy, it seemed) trailer for this at the theater. Cringey, at best, depressing and manipulatively sentimental at worst. Hard pass.

Old ladies would be much more into Gronk.

R45 Charo is in this movie too?

Didn't CBS Sunday morning do a story on this? This is based on a real story where these 5 old broads over 80 would meet every weekend to watch the game. One of the woman's grandsons worked in Hollywood and wrote the screenplay. (The old bats never actually went to the game and had no road trips filled with wacky hiinx)

I want to see 80 For Rodgers.....where a bunch of eldergays go to a Packers game to try to convince Aaron Rodgers to come out. Starring George Maharis, Richard Chamberlain, George Chakiris, and Daniel J Travanti

R52 I'm liking this idea.

Jane and Lily have had way too much work and are hard to look at. Jane looks like an alien.

R52, Do they need a driver?

I will only go see this if the locker room scene shows naked men. If this was a movie about women in a locker room, we'd be shown extras' tits, ass, and cuntbushes. As a gay man, I am tired of being terrorized by female body parts at the cinema. I want ass, dick, and nuts. I want Dolly Parton popping in for a cameo, seeing a naked footballer and announcing, "That's what we all back home call a puff: ya bake this tiny piece a dough and it puffs right up into a ginormous biscuit. Surprisingly big. En tasty, too! " And isn't this a bit of an ego trip? Tom Brady is a producer of a movie in which old ladies love. . .Tom Brady.

[quote] What's happening with Belinda's right eye?

What's happening with both of her eyes? It looks like her face has been pulled so tight she can't open her eyes.

[quote] I want ass, dick, and nuts

If they're filming Gronk's nuts, dick, and ass it better be in IMAX 3D and Scratch n Sniff!

I'm surprised Ms. Porter didn't get a part in this horrific recording.

Porter?

R60 How very dare you!

What? They couldn't find a female Black singer to join in? Where's Whitney Houston? Natalie Cole? Irene Cara?

RACISTS!

Why do the ads keep mentioning Debbie Harry? I know she's allegedly ill, but why add her name if she's not any part of it?

Debbie Harry is ill?

R64 Some weird crap on Twitter a few days/week ago - who knows if it's true, but a few oddball tweets here and there. Let's hope not.

Both Gronk and Billy Porter are in this movie.

Yes R66

Doubt that Debbie is "ill" given her appearance this week looking great for 78. Starting in March, Blondie have 13 upcoming shows, including Coachella, so I think Deb is doing just fine.

I played this LOVELY song and all the alley cats ran away.

And holly fuck balls, is there any one more charisma free 'star" than Gloria Tree Stump Estefan?

And Belinda's eyes look like they were scooped out with a melon baller!!!!!

Cyndi’s voice is shot to shit, she hit a note that made me jump. Dolly is whispering more than Janet now. Gloria’s voice is just average now, someone’s grandma doing karaoke. Belinda is forgettable.

Do the Razzies have a category for songs? If so, this is a lock.

R69 Fuck you! My performance in the "Bad Boys" video was Oscar worthy.

^ Gloria Estefan

I’m sick of the Dolly worship, she hasn’t made a good song since the early 90s. She’s good to charity, fabulous. Retire and donate. Her fake ass persona and giggles that hide the shrewd business woman are annoying. No one wants to hear the “expensive to look this cheap”, “wrote 9to5 on my acrylic nails” tired ass stories again. Oh and eat Judy’s pussy.

[quote]She announced in December that her B-cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is in remission.

Buck would've had A-cell.

Of all the genres currently infecting pop culture, the one I hate the most is aged woman showing their energy and liveliness by acting like brain-damaged teens. And there's always a scene where they get drunk and dance. It's particularly distressing when the actresses involved here have all done spectacularly good work in the past (and all have been awarded Oscar nods and/or wins; and I'm also looking at you, Diane Keaton.) I'm guessing none of them need the money.

The male version—geezers who team up, usually to break the law in some way—is just as nauseating.

I thought it was a fun-shit movie. I love my fellow old people.

Well, I'm 75. Maybe in 6 years I'll like it too.

R74- i saw Dolly in Boston in 2007 or 2008- What a snooze. She sang to prerecorded track and lip synched. Love her still, but it was a horrid show.

I'm just happy to see older actors getting screen time. Visibility is important.

R79 she has zero stage presence. She thrives in the TikTok generation because she’s adorable in 15 second snippets but after too long it’s like “can we leave grandma’s now and go home?”

I'm just happy to see multi-millionaire actors getting screen time. Net worth is important.

It was new wave and quirky for Cindi Lauper to sing off key in a little girl voice way back when but now it's cringeworthy.

R76 Sally might. She downsized to a one bedroom in the West village so she can take out the garbage with Andy Cohen and support her son who apparently tweets for a living.

R84, Sally must have made some good coin with “Brothers and Sisters”, which lasted a few seasons.

She’s never lived lavishly, I doubt she’s in financial need.

The movie took in $12.5 million this opening weekend.

R86 wow! I guarantee Bros was better

[quote]It looks like the video was made for $516.32.

And two thirds of that was spent on the craft table.

I … like it?
