David is 16 and M is his mother, what do mean he should spend some time apart from her? He is a minor and depends on her, so its odd to say he's likely to bend to her needs. He seems like a well-adjusted teenager who is comfortable in his own skin. David is creative and a performer like M so they probably bond over that, but I sense that she encourages him to discover his own lane. Judging from her IG posts over the years about her children, M exposes them to different activities and supports their individuality.

This is for me the example of too much editing, this is Steven Meisel in the 80s, and yes he has great photos, but most of them seem too edited for my taste. Also, anyone can be a "good photographer" if you have the right editing skills. Its totally destroyed the art of photography. Mert & Marcus are others that go overboard. 


 
 

They didn't have photoshop in the 1960s but photo editing has been around since at least the 1930s, probably 1920s. Photographer George Hurrell used to have photos he took of Hollywood celebrities retouched by James Sharp, who spent six hours smoothing skin, removing spots, and erasing wrinkles.  
Here's a before and after of Joan Crawford taken by George Hurrell in 1931. 

Madonna hasn't done anything I've enjoyed in years tbh. If I hadn't been a fan when I was younger I wouldn't care on any level now. She just reminds me of Baby Jane now.

The Marilyn Monroe references are tired.

People should be mindful that it can have bad mental health effects though, that's something no one ever says. 
 

Madonna said in her BBC interview in 1990 she wrote the songs for the soundtrack, but when Warren kept rejecting them she put the album together. So the songs were created as Soundtrack songs and she made the best of the situation since she had so many songs written and ready to go. So the answer is it is whatever you want it to be, but the songs were written as Soundtrack songs with the exception of Vogue

Is this really that hard of a thing to decide? As with EVERYTHING Madonna related everyone is going to have a different opinion, but I am definitely with the majority here that this IS a studio album. It's NOT a soundtrack to Dick Tracy because there was already a completely separate official soundtrack album for Dick Tracy. This was an ALBUM that M did as her character which was INSPIRED by the film. Even tho it includes some songs that were also in the movie, the fact that it contains more that weren't makes it a stand alone album. It's really not that hard of a thing to see I think & have never understood why it wasn't considered it's own specific era/album? 
SImply, for what it's worth, I consider it a stand alone album of M's & include it in the overall total seperately. 

It would be a great idea to tour all her greatest hits right after the biopic 

At least if it's filmed live you can see the initial execution. Cutting songs and over editing it certainly won't make it similar to the live performance. We don't know exactly what she re-shot, but she most likely did some full scenes not just closeups since she is a perfectionist. I disagree with you and the presentation. The Rebel Heart DVD doesn't include "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" and I think it was overedited along with MDNA. I like to see a concert from beginning to end as it was performed live. That being said, as I stated in my initial comment, I'm still looking forward to seeing her vision.

I understand, but I don't want an interpretation of a concert when the concert itself is already an interpretation of her vision. M does put a lot of effort into her projects and I appreciate that, but sometimes she gets carried away with editing her concert films and it gets distracting. Some people just want to watch the concert as it was performed without the filters, the re-shoots and the all the cuts. A concert that is filmed in a studio without a crowd isn't as authentic as it being with a live audience, and we know she re-shot show.

Madonna celebrated her 63 years with a birthday party in Puglia. An over the top party, celebrated inside a deconsecrated church, documented exclusively for Vogue by the photos of Ricardo Gomes.
«Madonna knows better than anyone how to bring the best people together, in a magical place like Puglia. It was a wonderful evening full of love, art and passion in a 6th century church! »,
The photographer confided to Vogue Italia.

It used to be that way, but it has gotten a lot better since she hired Ricardo Gomez to do the photography.  What would be the point of posting old photo shoots most fans have already seen? . I like that it has new content. 
Yes, she posts photos and videos of her kids, but she also does other kinds of posts including new photos and videos of her. 
I like that is shows the human side of her, not suoer perfect and overly curated. 
Why are unpopular opinions only negative ones? A lot of opinions on here aren’t unpopular at all. They have been very popular among fans. It would be more unpopular to say something positive about her. 
 

She used to be the fashion icon in the industry for decades and it pains me to see that she has been dressing up like a homeless clown on crack ever since the Rebel Heart era (imo). 
 

She’s definitely breathtakingly gorgeous. I LOVE that colour on her. But that’s… not Madonna.

Only she knows. She lived in the present for most of her career (up until "Rebel Heart") and that's why her pop peak lasted for so long. She was always interested in the present and the future, not so much in the past.
I'd like to believe she's proud of everything she's done? But look back on your own life: I'm sure that even if you're proud or happy there are certain things you simply don't want to go back to or stuff you prefer, or brings back good memories, etc.

Obviously her biopic will change everything, now she's forced to look back. 

No.
As for this 'hating of her old songs' thing, I think fans take it all way too literally. First, she's not the only artist to feel that way about old songs. And two, she moved beyond that period where she really wasn't interested (around ROL). If she truly hated it all, she wouldn't do old songs in her tours, and they would probably be very different shows. She would have never done anything like Tears of a Clown. Or even Re-Invention. Clearly, she likes some songs better than others. And she's said multiple times that certain songs are just of a certain time that she feels silly just pulling them out without doing something to make them reflective and who/where she is today. I respect that, and it's given us some of her best live tour moments (that very few of her peers/followers even bother to attempt...or could).
As for remasters, box sets, anniversary re-issues, etc...yeah, we'd all love it. But clearly she's not interested in milking that part of her career...yet. She probably feels that stuff can be done later, and I don't blame her (though I'd love it now just as much as any fan). Personally, I think it would make sense to start doing those things into her mid-to-later 70s, probably once large-scale touring finally stops, and she moves on to other creative endeavors/life/etc. As for now, she's a contemporary artist working 'in the now' (as she always has), and she sees herself that way. I don't see that changing for at least a good ten more years or so.
That being said, around the time of the biopic release, it may be a good time to do a 'legacy' era of some sort.

I saw a comment on the Instagram post that her life has become a David LaChapelle shoot and it's true lol She looks great but artificial. She had a beautiful expressive face, but now it's frozen and she hardly smiles. I'm enjoying the Instagram shoots though, and I hope she keeps this energy for when she's promoting her next project. I don't want to see another grill, eye patch, medieval headgear or witch doctor outfits please and thank you M!
