LITERALLY every single song on this album is so beautiful and raw, I wasn't even sad when it was released but every time I listen to it I'm still transported back to being 17 and doing everything for the first time :^)
 
(every song except Brooklyn Baby, which is the WORST song on this album)

Every summer I get really into watching movies since I have all the time in the world, this summer (and last summer) I've been on a pre-code and film noir kick. What are your favorite old films?
 
One of my top film noir picks is Scarlet Street with Joan Bennett and Edward G. Robinson. Also The Killing by Stanley Kubrick is amazing. I'm watching Whistle Stop with Ava Gardner and George Raft rn and 5 minutes in I could tell it was gonna be one of me faves. As far as pre-code goes I LOVE Baby Face with Barbara Stanwyck and Gold Diggers of 1933.

we are now gorl ;^)
 
PS some really good docu-series' on early hollywood are TCM's moguls and movie stars and then the 1980 mini-series Hollywood, both of which are on youtube. and then hollywood babylon of course is mostly fake, but it's still so fun and i live for kenneth anger's shameless self-promotion lol

Charade and North by Northwest 

there's a book i have out from the library about pre- and post-code hollywood called "censored hollywood" and it's really interesting so far!! not too far into it bc i have so many other books i'm reading, but hey. i also have a book about the more slept on silent film stars and that one is mcfreakin fascinating as well

from a spotify playlist my crush made for me
 
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - Bob Dylan
Wear My Ring Around Your Neck - Elvis
Good Time Charlie - Devendra Banhart
Diamond Day - Vashti Bunyan
Heroine (Got Nothing On You) - Christopher Owens
Be Your Baby - Harlem
Hollywood Dream Trip - Syrinx
Oh Gosh - Donovan
Oh, Mojave - The Ruby Suns
Laura - Girls

An unfunny comedian Amy Schumer seems to be doing well despite that

My grandmother and I sit on the couch about once a week, and we watch old films together.
Our favorites are With Six You Get Eggroll, By The Light of the Silvery Moon, Where The Boys Are, The Birds, and as I mentioned above Rear Window.

idk if this is old enough but Breakfast at Tiffany's is the best   everyone should watch it. the costuming and scoring is amazing

i live and breathe old films, so i'm really glad @fool 4 luv started this!!
 
a few favorites of mine, right off the top of my head-- there's more, but this is what immediately comes to mind: 
 
Silent:
- Greed (1925)
- Metropolis (1927)
- Pandora's Box (1929)
- The Doll (1919)
- Intolerance (1916) 
 
Sound: 
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
- Rope (1948)  
- Vampyr (1932)
- Diabolique (1955)
- Sunset Blvd. (1950)

It's obvious that we are in different phases in our relationship with Lana. I still care about her as a person but much less for her music compared with the UV era when I was at my height of my Lana obsession. With a certain detachment, I see differently her output compared with the groupies from here (which I understand btw because I was in the same place a while ago). I have some unpopular issues this era:
 
I cannot connect emotionally with her latest singles (Love and LFL) for different reasons. I'm too old to be preached to and to enjoy her faux escapism (through suicide again) which was implied in LFL (less in the song but was obvious in the LFL video).
 
LFL, the single, underlines everything that is wrong in her artistic approach: lazy lyrics full of clichés, plagiarism, lazy singing and no real message. The video, which is in my opinion one of her worst, underlines that she is still lying about her influences. The video is clearly alluding to suicide at the end and it's just too much coincidence with the Entwistle story to believe her that she never heard about it beforehand. The fact that she quoted old, famous lyrics in all her released songs this era is just inexcusable from a 32 y.o. artist. I hope that I will not hear any namedropping, or famous quotes on her remaining songs from the album.
 
More disappointing is that she alluded with Love to a positive message, which was btw well executed with a lovely video, just to come back to this campy suicide theme.
 
Her style of singing, which marred HM, is full of mumbled lines as she is waking up from a long sleep. This hinders her beautiful voice and frankly is rarely appropriate for the song. All her latest snippets are full of mumbled lines and it’s barely understandable what she is singing about.
 
What was the purpose of gathering this arguably great set of collaborations if you hide your release in late July? As the charting of the LFL single pointed out the collabs alone with not help her selling the record. I think that she had a different plan in her mind before starting this era, she felt maybe that is the time for her to come out again before the GP but she lost her courage on the way and pushed back the album when nobody is looking.
 
I tried to watch her BBC set again and it was just as sad: she was too often out of tune and off pitch. I'm so bored seeing her strolling up the stage like a shy schoolgirl in a minidress.
 
I hate that she's cosying up to the rapper scene. It seems forced from her like that latina thing that she tried out in Tropico. Her G Eazy thing is just like...her picture with the spinner: silly and embarrassing.   
 
End of rant. I will take a pause until her album is coming out because this Instagram teasing is just lame
