10 Appropriate Ways to Celebrate "A Star is Born"'s $200 Million Triumph
Sunday, December 23, 2018 at 7:26PM We're skipping the box office charts this weekend since Christmas falls on a Tuesday. The last two weeks of the year are always heavy moviegoing times as families look for entertainment breaks in between their visits and feasts and shopping. New pictures Aquaman, Mary Poppins Returns, Bumblebee, last week's champ Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse and costume pics The Favourite and Mary Queen of Scots (which both added hundreds of theaters) are all going to have big weeks. But the only news we care about right this very second is that, on this very day, 12 weeks into its run, A Star is Born crossed the $200 million mark on its leggy run into America's hearts.
❤️ 10 ways to celebrate A Star is Born's $200 million dollar milestone weekend
- Stroke the outline of your boyfriend or girlfriend's nose
- Sing along with your favorite song from the soundtrack again that isn't "Shallow"
- Admit that A Star is Born has other great songs.
- Watch Willam on "The Beatdown"
- Decide who your favorite supporting character besides Sam Elliott is in the movie, even if they were shafted in the "Outstanding Cast" nomination.
- Watch one of the other versions of A Star is Born because you probably haven't seen them all.
- Introduce each of your friends who enter the room with "Ladies and gentleman... Ally!" until someone makes you stop (someone surely will)
- Wonder anew how Lady Gaga will ever top her world premiere in Venice look at the Oscars.
- Go to a drag show.
- Steal Sam Elliott's voice.

Was so proud of myself reading #6 because I've seen all four ASIBs, but it made me realize again that I've never seen What Price Hollywood. Does anyone know of a place it's streaming?
Number three - I personally love "Let The Old Ways Die". As to number ten, I would if I hadn't already (virtually) done it.
I already do a pretty good impression of Sam Elliott's voice since he's Whoopi's love interest in Fatal Beauty. A movie originally written for Cher. Where we're asked to pretend Ruben Blades isn't the hottest Afro-Latino ever. He plays her unlucky in love partner. Whoopi is a cop in the movie. Something tells me you've never seen Fatal Beauty.

Wonderful list. The success of this movie lifts my hopes that classic Hollywood is still alive and vibrant. You just need to know the right approach.
Also sing about how you're "Alone in {your} house!"
Be friends with Anthony Ramos.
Have your Dad threaten your husband.
Go on SNL with a song that Tina Belcher may have wrote.
I’ve seen them all! Even WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD?
Ok, all the typical songs have gotten their due--can we PLEASE talk about the BOP that is "Why Did You Do That?" I listened to it the other day and it was stuck in my head for days! So good.
*eye roll*
Heal Me is a call from Jackson to Ally.
Perversely, I've seen them all except the Garland (please don't block me from the site). Can I just have a wistful fantasy about being stranded on a desert island with Anthony Ramos. That's right. Not Bradley Cooper, Anthony Ramos.
