Pulp Fiction, Once Upon a Time in America, Reservoir Dogs, Mean Streets, The Departed, and The Untouchables maybe you'd like?

Great Mistake - Sky Ferreira

The lyrics to Bel-Air are great. This will be the standout track of the album no doubt.

Two years of French classes couldn't even get me through the first sentence.

I don't like that "Shine Bright Like a Diamond" song or whatever it's called. I heard it on the radio a few times and I thought her vocals were pretty bad.

Who are you?
 
In other news, I just watched "The Maltese Falcon" (1941) and if anyone is interested, in 10 minutes - Turner Classic Movies is showing "The Big Sleep" - also another groovy side-note, the Twitter for Humphrey Bogart's estate made a few cool tweets about the movie while it was running, some facts like the budget, script, and stuff about Humphrey.

Have you seen Wait Until Dark? It's Audrey's finest performance in my opinion.

As long as it's somehow related to movies, it's never out of topic.

The album is growing on me, I sing-a-long to the tracks of course. But I don't find the lyrics anything great either. I feel like such a party pooper since other people say, "The album is perfect" "The album is amazing" etc. But I think it's a somewhat-weak album. Cola I love, but the vocals sound odd, it sounds like they were recorded in her bathroom on garageband. Gods & Monsters had a lot of potential until basically a minute in, then it became such a mess in my opinion. It built up to nothing, and as it went on and on the lyrics became lazier and more forced in my opinion. American, I'd excuse the simple lyrics if the song was catchy, but it isn't for me, at all. I think the problem with a lot of the songs on the album is they seem to forced to me. I love the instrumental for American though, it's really lovely. Yayo is good. Yayo is a strong song overall, no matter which version you listen to. I've never been a fan of Ride either. I love that recent live performance she did of it though. Overall, It's certainly not a favorite album of mine out of Lana's work. I really hope this doesn't foreshadow Lana's future work. I really hope her next album will be more like BTD or AKA. Of course other people will have different views, and that's their views - everybody's tastes differ - this album though is not the cherry on top of Born to Die sundae in my opinion, or the whipped cream, or the sprinkles.

I am not a fan of people who make a big deal about losing a category. It was obvious Lana would lose to One Direction and Carly Rae Jepsen, we're talking about MTV here. It's a shame people have to be so bitter about losing a category. But I don't agree w/ your comments on Florence regarding only being nominated in two categories. The MTV EMAs/VMAs are irrelevant to music since it's a popularity contest, not a measure of one's talent. Am I proud of Lana? Yes. But is it really a glorious moment for Lana's career, or anybody's career who had won? No.

Re-used the typical Vanishing Point/Gone in 60 Seconds clips with the sprinkle of Pulp Fiction and that jazz among the new clips - hope you guys aren't tired of them already.

Shout out to your gorgeous new set. Marilyn is beautiful.
 
It's a shame, I wanted to go to Coney Island (considering I live outside NYC) many times after I started listening to Lana's music this year, and my parents promised to bring me, but they never did - too late now.
 
In a way though, I think Lana touches upon a fading Coney Island in her music rather than a Coney Island in it's golden age. So I think, even if destroyed, it still is influential on Lana for the sole fact you're looking at the 'ruins' of a bygone era. That's my opinion.
