oh my god the next two albums will also be Crybaby? Why doesn’t she just rebrand herself AS Crybaby and start making music under that name at this point like please come up with something else Melanie
 
that said I don’t think she should continue to make films. This was a cool and ambitious project but it had some serious flaws and it doesn’t seem like she learned much from directing all the CBB music videos. You can still make amazing visuals without them all being half-baked “movies”

I hate the album art I keep looking at it and trying to convince myself to like it  will def be replacing it

feel like pure shit just want properly mixed bbc lounge recordings but this is the era of shitty mixing after all......

I raise some monarch butterflies and I named one of them Norman a few weeks ago. He hatched today and I played him Happiness is a Butterfly before he flew away.

Ok so I've been thinking, how are gonna officially rename K-12?
I've been thinking Juvi-Prison, along the lines of Felonie Rapinez/Rapetinez which I think is really interesting
 
Do yall have any other ideas? 
 
edit: i say think too many times... thoughtful queen

The film made absolutely no sense and it just came across super amateurish besides the art design
 
The writing was lacking and the scenes just seemed shoehorned together for the most part but i did some of the music video scenes like Strawberry Shortcake and Drama Club. I already knew it would be kind of off since I haven't really liked Melanie's direction in the other videos, she has some great ideas but a lot of them are too hamfisted or half-baked to work
 
I do really like most of the album tho

love that we're discussing something that doesn't exist 

mm white hot forever sounds tasty
 

Why do people think she would put AFFA onto the upcoming record? I want new songs. That song is 6 years old she probably doesn't even remember it.

yall are gonna be 70 and still ask for these songs. its never happening

Miss Del Rey's album Norman Fucking Rockwell will be played on holophonic speakers on September 14 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This highly innovative system was invented by Argentine Hugo Zuccarelli, who worked with sound geniuses Pink Floyd, and it's used in theme parks, as well as film scores and soundtracks.

 

Etymologically, "holophonic" comes from the word "hologram"; to put it in other words, it's like sound Virtual Reality. The listening experience with these giant speakers transports you to the intimate world of the album. The participants will feel like Lana, Jack Antonoff and his musicians are playing right in front, on the sides and behind you. The event is held in total darkness.

 

Her previous records Born to Die, Ultraviolence and Lust for Life were played on these speakers in the past.

I have a lot of opinions    Here's a list of everything I would've changed in the film:
Shorten "The Principal" (Only up to the end of the first chorus is necessary). Extend Crybaby and Angelita's conversation in the tennis scene; Bring up beauty standards in Angelita's magazine as a tie-in to the "Strawberry Shortcake" sequence. Delete the "Teacher's Pet" scene, putting "High School Sweethearts" after Crybaby finds the love letter. Potentially shorten the "High School Sweethearts" scene, or insert clips of Crybaby distracted trying to figure out who wrote the letter. Play "Recess" quietly in the background of the school dance sequence from the start and scrap the whole being-forced-to-dance element. Don't stretch the scene out to the length of the song. Insert "Fire Drill". Have Crybaby sing it while confronting Leo, helping everyone escape, and eventually, instead of the dumb air-bubble thing, burning the school down. Change the cliffhanger. Maybe make it that only Crybaby is eligible to join Lilith, and the choice is between that or her friends. The choice between staying or leaving originally is dumb. Just off the top of my head

I am pretty disappointed in the direction Melanie decided to go music-wise, it was already risky for her to keep working on an aged concept, but I thought that she might still be able to make it work if she expanded on her sound a bit. Conceptually, the whole album/movie felt dull, like it had no deeper connection to the album other than just being a continuation of CB. The album sounds like crybaby if all the creativity of the lyrics and the production of that album were stripped away. K-12, as a whole, is just bland. the songs aren't terrible, and if this was released back when I was into her, I probably would have listened to them, but that just isn't enough to keep me interested anymore. Even though I don't listen to CB anymore, I still look back at what an amazing album that was, and I can't say the same about this one. 
 
Some people here are excusing the mediocrity of the lyrics because it's to make them more suitable for the movie, but that's exactly what the problem is here: The fact that it's a movie reduces the quality of the music and the fact that it's an album reduces the quality of the movie. I know Melanie put a lot of effort into this and that it was a very ambitious project, and I admire that, but the bigger the project the easier it is to fuck something up.
 
the movie wasn't very good, but it's what you can expect from someone who isn't an experienced director or screenwriter. The visuals were beautiful though, and the choreo was pretty cute, I'll giver her that.

I'm a little bummed at the lack of artistic growth & development tbh, I hope this is the (temp)retirement of Cry Baby

Ugh I fucking love her house it’s so beautiful, every time I see it on her ig stories I get so jealous

I definitely don't think she's a millionaire, she only has one album and it wasn't a commercial hit like SZA. She probably used whatever was left of the Crybaby funds from sales and touring and whatever else and I'm sure her label funded a lot
