    I actually like Kirsten but I hated watching Melancholia. Everything was happening so excruciatingly slow.

    I agree. The pacing was incredibly slow. I think he was trying to recreate the warped sense of time people suffering from depression tend to have. It went down quite easy after Antichrist, which is probably one of the most difficult (but rewarding) films I've ever seen.

    I love both albums, but I think Master wins for me only because it's so cohesive and the sound works so brilliantly for her. But I will definitely say there's not a weak moment on the debut and I think she did a brilliant job with all the different styles she explored.

    I only caught the last forty minutes to an hour, but to be honest, while the cinematography was beautiful, I wasn't all that impressed. Charlotte was good, and I believed her manic state, but Kirsten... gave me one-note, as usual. I'd be willing to see it again in full though, to get a full idea on it. It wasn't bad.

    Haha. Together, we've seen the complete film. I'm going to watch it again from start to finish. I really liked the pacing and I thought it was set up quite well from what I saw of it. Kirsten's character became increasingly more unstable. I was really not impressed with her at first, but as it went on, I thought she did pretty well by her standards. I was completely shocked that the cinematography was so polished and that music figured so heavily in it, as it was really a complete break from what I'm used to seeing from him. If you compare Antichrist and Melancholia, it's hard to believe they were directed by the same person. His next one sounds quite interesting and typically controversial. He's working with Charlotte again!

    Funnily enough, this is on right now. Watching despite my shared disdain for Kirsten (and Kiefer).

    What did you think? I got interrupted just after the second part started and I was far more impressed than I had anticipated being. I'm looking forward to finishing it. Charlotte, as always, was brilliant and Kirsten was actually quite good.

     

    I think I'm going to watch The White Ribbon again soon. It's so hard to watch, but it's truly a masterpiece. Michael Haneke is one of my favorite directors ever.

    I KNOW!!!!!!!! :D I was so happy when it was finally on the album...I listened to the LQ "leak" for months.

    Right?! I got all excited when it first came out, thinking the album would be coming out a few months after that, but Santi was all, "I don't think so, bitches."

    Careful, Madrigal loves him some It's Blitz :P I like the album, but I'll always be floored by the other stuff to a larger extent. The songs I return to most on IB aren't any of the ballads, sure enough. "Dull Life" and "Dragon Queen" are great songs no matter what they do. I'm at least confident you can't say that they sold out for pop appeal, because it was just yet another direction for one of their albums. My optimism for the fourth album hasn't budged a bit ^_^

    Dragon Queen is my shit! I didn't even pay attention to it at first, but it grew on me big time. I'm not big on the ballads on that one either, but the dance tracks are amazing. I'm pretty okay with it. As long as they rock out on the next one. :P

    I'm a huge fan! It's Blitz took a really long time to grow on me because I wasn't expecting that sound from them, but I thoroughly enjoy shaking my ass to Heads Will Roll and Dragon Queen. My favorite material of theirs is definitely the early stuff. The first EP, Fever to Tell, and Show Your Bones are perfect.

    I really love it! Sometimes I have phases where it's all I listen to. I spent a lot of time studying it and there's so much to explore! My granny used to see Lady Day in Harlem back in the early 50s and has all of her records. She told me she wants "Autumn in New York" played at her funeral and I will do my best to see that it happens.

    I was on her side from the beginning. I don't think I could wrap my head around how anyone that young could have a voice like that at first. She really was just incredible. Her voice had such range and power and her phrasing was dead on when she was sang jazz. If she was alive and making records, I don't think Adele would be as big as she is.

     

    When she was on, she was such an incredible performer:
