  1. And I agree about letting Madonna do what she wants. Bad or good, life is too short. This project is giving her a lot new energy and happiness. Those things are important to keep going and keep living. It's always good for a person's creative process too...which, in turn, is good for us as fans and what she might release. I mean....even her bad movies or projects have always had something I liked whether it was one song or just seeing Madonna up on a screen or doing a video, to just her cinematic eye for beauty in the films and videos she's made etc..

  5. What if she ends the movie with her directing the movie ?

  6. It's not a wise decision to direct the movie. There are a lot of amazing directors that could do this movie, and she can be involved as co director and producer of course. She doesn't have a good back history in cinema, not as an actress neither as a director. The critic will slay her no matter if the movie is good, just because it's her. I hope she change her opinion about the direction of the movie! And also I hope the script is good. It's great that she wants to tell her own story but I hope she will be able to see behind her... I mean, I hope it doesn't end up being a super narcissistic movie.

    Madame X Tour DVD

    I thought it was masterfully edited, the whole backwards story telling was really well done. Not easy to pull off and that gives me hope the Tour DVD will also have great editing.

  12. A cool read from Vogue... On Madonna’s New Biopic and the Shifting New York Paradigm By Raven Smith September 16, 2020 Wizened provocateur and all-round song legend Madonna is set to direct a film about her own life and career, cowriting the movie with Diablo Cody. After 30 years of floor fillers and ballads and Catholic controversy, she wants to “convey the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer—a human being, trying to make her way in this world.” As tired as it sounds, Madonna is truly the queen of reinvention, a chameleon who established a nationwide—no, global—template for unapologetic multifaceted femininity in all its possible guises: virgin, dominatrix, material girl, Kabbalah goddess. She resisted being pigeonholed as a type, always ready to defy our expectations. I assume the forthcoming film will cover her early life, those heady days in New York, a city that, like Madonna, cycles through new iterations like it’s swiping Tinder on a Friday night. There’s Frank Sinatra’s New York, all Rat Pack suits and discarded vagabond shoes. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ New York, with malformed rats and pizza. There’s Truman Capote’s New York. Patrick Bateman’s. Carrie Bradshaw’s. New York never settles. Madonna’s New York is gritty, accessed by rickety fire escape rather than Uber, where clubs never close and you could vogue into the wee hours. You might wake up next to Tupac or Basquiat or even Sean Penn. La Isla Bonita (Manhattan) was dirty and dangerous in the 1980s, lacking safety and ease, a city thriving on great non-expectations and the daily jeopardy of unoptimized living. You can think of this as a better or worse time, depending on your capacity for danger and how long you’ll legitimately wait for a subway home before completely losing your shit. In return for a lot of downtime, you get singularity: local stores that are single links in their own chains, huddles of people dressed in a way you’ve never seen online. You get trash. You get vaudeville. You get rumors about the rat meat in your hot dog. Crime is up and gang warfare, but let’s pretend that’s romantic like a Stephen Sondheim musical. You also get the serendipity of tetherless roaming without a phone or map. Life takes more effort, sure, but maybe that’s more rewardable? Maybe getting lost is the point? A New Yorker isn’t so much a person as a mood. An understated but extroverted coolness. A way of drawing you in while warning you to fuck off. A visceral untouchability. Despite modern folklore, New Yorkers aren’t all conceived by moonlight under the Brooklyn Bridge (the queen of pop emigrated from Michigan), but they’re united on one thing: New York is brilliant. They will defend it to the death or until such point as they move upstate or to L.A., as if that was always the plan. In the meantime, nothing makes a New Yorker bristle like the constant stories of the imminent death of the city or people like me reminiscing of a simpler, phone-less time before we were all material girls and every block was a shuffle of Starbucks and Sweetgreens. I love a latte, but as Manhattan hyper-gentrifies, our desire for convenience replaces the anomalies that made ye olde New York feel so urgent and incisive. Surprises are limited. COVID has seen all of us reevaluate what’s necessary and what’s extraneous, what matters and who. The cities we live in will have to adapt around us, this now fabled New Normal. So the New York paradigm is shifting again, and none of us know where it’ll land. (Even Seinfeld weighed in to speculate.) Could the next New York be like Madonna’s “Frozen” era, all brunette and henna? Will it snog Britney? Will it invite MIA to the Super Bowl? As the great homogenization of culture eats the very idea of nuanced, undiscovered subculture, the Madonna back catalog still slaps, bristling with transformative New York energy. To her detractors, Madonna’s only faux pas seems to be outstaying her welcome and refusing to shrink away from the limelight like scrap metal, which, at the end of the day, is very New York.

  17. When she said that they didn't filmed the whole BAT concert I was like "bitch, no way, you said last year that the tapes were missing wth gurl". I can't get over the fact we highly won't get a Blu-ray release of BAT, especially when I watch the performances from TOD in the outstanding quality of image holy fuck

  19. I heard Warming Signs many years ago when we were working with Steven Bray and Aussie Eurovision singer Gina G. Bray played it to us with a few other unreleased tracks. It was an evening of nostalgic stories during one of our writing sessions. Bray is so cool... we wrote some great tracks together with Miss Gina G. Good old days in LA!

  22. I'm in the minority of fans who think this is the project where she'll be good as the director. Why? Because that's the only thing she's good at directing - herself. Her story. I can assure you we're gonna get a 100% Madonna film.

  23. I love how she looks in the video walking down the streets in Harlem - am glad they changed it but to be fair hard to compare just on a photo might have looked great on the video I think Secret is one of her best songs and videos ever

  24. It's not that much about being beautiful, it's more about the look making a statement, having an impact and i personnally think the Harlow look is more unique. I mean years later it would have been the "Secret" video look. The other look is just a variation of the look she had in 1987, 1991, 1994 etc...

  25. Not to mention her own name - Madonna - is the name of Jesus' mother in Italian. So Madonna, the mother, dies after giving birth to Madonna, the daughter who would become the most famous woman in (modern) history, like Jesus. Then Madonna, the daughter, becomes Madonna the mother. It all ties up beautifully like a divine story. Almost like it was meant to be...

  27. GREAT SONG. Great album opener There will be a time when "All work and no play" will be regarded as the greatest 1st line on an album. ("I traded fame for love Without a second thought It all became a silly a game Some things cannot be bought" being her best album opening verse.)

  35. Directing a movie regarding your own life just doesn't work for me. Give control to an experienced director, like David Fincher. He knows her but has enough distance to her persona to make an objective movie. Like everyone else Madonna also has her blind spots. And wanting to be in control of every aspect can also ruin the entire project. I guess she just wants people to view her the way she wants them to view her, so her public persona will not be tarnished. I understand her decision, I really do, but in the end I would really like to see another director shooting this biopic.

  36. Drowned World is a real prelude to what is the 'drowned world' inside the tracks of Rol. Is a complete opera, a perfect track, almost whispered in the beginning with a crescendo in the amazing bridge and then toned down again in the end. The Best ouverture for sure??

  39. Yeah, and to be honest she's not bad at all at directing, she actually has a good eye. W.E. was amazingly done and way better than many movies done by "professional directors", by all standards - cinematography, soundtrack, casting... The problem is that she just isn't taken seriously in the film industry. And then fans get mad when something of hers flops. But we should ask ourselves: it's her story, we're gonna be seeing it through her eyes. Isn't that exactly what we want? Who cares if people are gonna judge on it and think it's "narcissistic"? People nowadays think having a mere basic self-esteem is "narcissism" anyway... and almost 40 years later and she has nothing more to prove, so SHE wants to tell it like she WANTS it. Because she earned that right. She did it all alone in the end. She powered through several backlashes all alone and even had people around her undermining her, including husbands. I'm gonna be here for it and wouldn't have it any other way than this. It will be like being in a room with her, just the two of us, while she tells me her story. Would you want David Fincher in that room instead?

  44. Well it depends on who they are trying to appeal to. If the goal of the movie is to reach a wider audience and remind them of the greatness of Madonna an arthouse style movie is going to turn people off even though I personally like those type of films.

  45. Why on Earth should we know about every dick that was on her bed? I would like: - Early days of her career / the first album release. - Like a virgin MTV awards, Madonnamania. - True Blue / Sean Penn - Like a prayer controversy / Pepsi / Blond Ambition / Vogue - Justify my love / Erotica / Sex - Bedtime stories / Evita - They can sumarize Ray of light / Guy Ritchie / Lourdes / Rocco / Music / DWT / American life / Re-Invention and of course: kabbalah. - Confessions fever, her popularity back / Sticky & Sweet. It can be a good moment to talk about wannabes and Lady Whos, and aging as a woman in pop industry. I don't care if she ends her movie at the Super Bowl. But I think it will be nice to have her speech of the Billboard Women of the year 2016, at the end. They can sumarize every era in 10 min or 20 . Just the importat parts or songs. It's not impossible, general public don't care about every single, tour, or video. Just what defined her career, controversies, and her way to come back.

  46. The director was wrong. That Jean harlow exagerated hairstyle was really specific and original. The other hairstyle had already kinda been seen several times before the "Secret" video and wasn't really new or exciting. The Harlow big hairstyle was unsual, had a strong image and a impact, it had its own identity, just like the cowboy hat the black wig from Frozen. That harlow hairstyle was amazing with the rnb beat of the song, while M walking down the streets of Harlem. Iconic. The director played it safe and it's not the way to go with Madonna' work. No wonder she hasn't worked with her after that.

  49. The Theater experience for Madame X was incredible. Its the first tour that I attended three different nights at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. An intimate experience with an incredible icon like Madonna is worth its weight in pennies. But, the Arena or Stadium would increase the energy levels from the crowd, which fuels Madonna as a performer. The last night i saw Madonna at the Wiltern I sat 2nd row. I was drinking my whiskey mules all night so I felt great. I danced hard and cheered Madonna on all night. She looked over at me and smiled on several occasions. I know she feeds on that support.
