Make me your Dream Life

I haven't watched the substance in actuality yet(?) bc I feel like glory and gore's been done time's before, that and I wasn't looking forward to the fleshy makeup but. I stumbled upon one of the scenes and might actually watch it properly. and the reason behind that is Demi Moore's acting. I was thinking it'd be more of a spectacle as it's been made to be, and the entertainment aspect of it but that scene where she and Marg Qualey's interactions kinda made me real sad. cus maybe it just translated well, but in a way, I kinda saw/felt the kind of pain Demi Moore's character was going thru in a way, young or not and it just made me really sad to think that the character had to go thru such lengths and u could see how lost the character was/ in the acting I wasn't really interested in the hollywood aspect of it cus that happens a lot anyway, and clearly, no ne's that disfigured to that degree but, there's that humanness that I could tell was gleaming thru in that fear and vulnerability and idk I just feel like that's what'll bring the movie's meaning back to being human? like personally u can't help but empathize to thinking that an actual person'll just be discarded like that as if they were nothing, that's just cruel and awful to do that to someone. I actually teared up about the conflict between the main character matrix within herself, and the relationship she had w the younger self. like the ego to Moore and the id to Qualey if I'm not messing that up. and what's tragic is like discarding of everything anyway at the end. It was giving divine tragedy/comedy, and I see the value in it all, but just wanted to point that out.

loving all the ways Lana doesn't exemplify the normal celebrity.

Also, the music industry thread. TLC, Gaga's ARTPOP era, Lana mentioning the music industry going country. Streaming, the lack of need for music videos, tours and merch. Songwriters, royalties. What's the future of music listening? Which platform's best for streaming for the artist? Award shows. Why are some artists going down the music artist to makeup company owner pipelines? What do you think Bjork thinks about all this? Artistic authenticity vs. numbers? Ultraviolence vindicating Lana from the industry and the whole Adele producer conundrum? All these things far and in between. Thoughts? Predictions? Discuss

I'm hoping her artistry'll stand the test of time. I remember she brought that freakiness to the mainstream and it really changed the game at the time

It’s giving fanfiction vibes for god’s sake oof

Ya’ll are arguing about AI and the AI’s probably laughing at both of ya’s like Tiffany Pollard would I’d imagine. But you know what, Henry’s a real cowboy. He’s just hibernating

country SOUTHERN GOTHIC

It’s random but I’ll always just laugh to myself during the time I thought she starred in angus thongs and thinking to myself ohmygod she’s really blown up that’s amazing, the boom clap’s really working good for her, to then realizing that wasn’t her, girl so confusing remix of that when?

I mean bb come on ~

it's cus the overall scope of living's kinda just a bit strange so she doesn't know exactly how it'll be received. stripped down, doesn't want it to be half baked is what it was. the thing w her is, she should just follow her instinct, cus it's annoying, but people usually understand what she'll sing about later on even if it's not something that many people will get or resonate with, if that's the case for this one too this time around.

I took a quiz and got the magician like a day or so before Lilia’s episode and honestly I’ve been thinking about the synchronicity that that is. Was such a good time and pacer for last month. I want a season 2

I’m liking the cold so I’ll just let whatever happens happen

every time I re-enter this thread it feels like it needs a seance or something when we never really got anything solid. and I don't know whether or not that's kinda sad or not. but what I do know's that I'm ready, been ready, to connect to some new perspectives from new music. ready to understand and listen to what kind of worlds are to be shared. and I'm dreaming of enjoying southern gothic in the winter, but I guess right now the only southern gothic's the void that's this thread

I think it’s an indication that she might not be done w the album. But then that gets me thinking what tough is to this whole thing too. it’d be nice to have regardless tho

I want the brokeback mountain song Henry Come On to nourish the winter months

Title. What are some song releases within a specific artist's discography that has changed things for them, for you? Personally when it came to Lana, West Coast got me hooked about her as an artist, and then it peaked again when she released White Dress and Chemtrails. Those songs just elevated how amazing her artistry was expressed and shifted from those songs alone. Not about the opuses etc. that you think of when it comes to acclaim, unless that's your focus, but which songs changed the game for you? It doesn't have to be Lana, it can be any artist. RIhanna? Anti and Diamonds. Gaga? strangely enough, it was the ASIB soundtrack that really had me impressed to how new and fresh it was, but still felt genuine in it's expression. Happy Mistake's a good peak, but I'm still waiting for more of that oomph. Disease yes, but I'm still waiting for something more groundbreaking Charli's 360 was such a moment, and I'm still enjoying the song with Constant Repeat all too easily. Discuss!

fucking christmas queen just gotta love her

it's time!
