Lea will never do this...and why does the director have to be open and gay to direct a movie about a 19 year old girl in New York City in 1960? A woman can't direct it? Would Speilberg not know what to do with the story???
..and Lana Del Ray is TONE DEAF!! and looks like Nancy Sinatra....
This is just stupid...

Carlos, eso surgio de un post que yo hice en el thread de Unpopular opinions you hold, luego de estar todo el dia discutiendo sobre ella en varios threads. Y desde esa ocasion a veces me refiero asi de ella, pero es mas como un apodo, no es nada serio. Pienso que ella es ridículamente talentosa y a veces me molesta cuando la gente denigra sin razón.
I'm all for Lana if they use Barbara's original vocal tracks.

Definitivamente puedo ver por qué algunas personas no le gusta pero ella es una locura talento y yo creo que ella sería sorprendente como barbra. Dame Lea parece que ella quiere hacer más cine y TV por lo que creo que esto sería perfecto para ella.

These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

The book is amazing because - well - she was a complete original who really (like Sinatra) did this her way - without following any path...
The four years it concentrates on are not just the most important of Barbra's life but highly important in understanding show biz, pre and post Barbra....
Nothing was the same in american show business after the opening night of "Funny Girl" in 1964...

"I don't really see what's offensive about that comment about a gay director."
I guess it depends how one feels about the ethics, fairness and legality of qualifying a preference or affinity for a director based on race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. I have a problem with it (leaving apart issues of diversity and affirmative action which, unless I'm mistaken, don't seem to be applicable to the issue of who directs a Streisand biopic). The same is true for most employment positions (obviously in many instances, casting is a different and rather complex question because gender and race and ethnicity (if not sexual orientation) may legitimately impact the experience of seeing someone in a role, depending on all manner of issues which have often been discussed and debated on this board).
