Warner Brothers Births a Star, Bleeds to Death

Why? Why, God, why does the new remake of A Star is Born have to star Beyonce? What is even the point? I want to cry. You have Clint Eastwood, ready to do his thing, not going gently into that good night, and you hand him Beyonce?

I understand the new plot involves the music industry. Fine. That's fine. Awesome. It's a musical.  A musical about a fading artist and a young star, one goes up and the other goes down, lots of fun, lots of crying, lots of smashing of bottles of alcohol, lots of Oscar bait.  But why Beyonce? Why not....
