It kinda disarranges me a tiny tiny little bit that some of you gonna watch TROPICO WITH LANA while I am desperately trying to pass the supposedly most difficult test of all time...

...but it's okay, everythings alright....

Tropico can be your reward for passing 

Are the premieres even going ahead? 

If it is premiering on the 4th in New York, that means we won't get it until the 5th at least. THE WAIT.

Late is better than never.

Some of that dialogue on that account seems so cliche. "We've been expecting you" and "you must go now", it's like imagining what it would be like. Plus didn't someone from Lana's team say that the snake wasn't actually in the film but was just used for promo pictures? 

Gorgeous shot of her looking at the end, but this will be a hot mess. 

I thought the 'extraterrestrials' comment from her was a reference to Shaun Ross being in the ET video. 

Ugh, not sure if I'll enjoy the aspect ratio though. Everything will be super squeezed and cropped and really wide

I thought that too but didn't want to crush the excitement, damn Mandler. 

Apparently she's having some copyright issues with Whitman's poems?

But isn't his work out of copyright due to how long ago it was written? They didn't have any copyright issues when she did L'Officiel with his poetry and it's the same body of work. 

If she has South American dates coming up, she's probably got to release this RIGHT NOW (!) or when she gets back, right? I hope it hasn't been cancelled or pulled by Interscope. 

Ten days until the end of the month, Lana. Deliver or I am DONE! *holds Barrie hostage*

Why would Shaun even know? Like the casting director, his role in the project has been fulfilled and ended. I'd trust the post-production team over him as unless he's DM'ing Lana on the daily, I don't think he's a great source, especially since he's probably loving all of the attention from the thirsty Lana fanbase. 

I bet she thinks it's October and she means end of the month as in Halloween. 

I think there's a little attitude because in the digital age, when you have songs on air on sale, everything is so instant, that for pop music fans who are so used to an immediate consumption have to wait for so long with no news, they begin to get impatient. She announced Tropico but hasn't followed it up with anything. Her tweets "at the cementary, etc." sort of suggest it was coming soon and she would be giving us a date. But we have no date. Plus with her recent chart success with Summertime Sadness, she may as well strike with the iron is red hot so to speak. I completely understand them taking the time to get it right and everything, I'm sure the team behind it want it to be as good as it can be, but we've just had no news except a couple of posters. She needs to just sedate us with another tweet as it's gone deathly quiet.

Plus if she had waited a little longer to announce it she could have had a much better, professional-looking poster than the basic "Naomi Shon spending five minutes in paint" one we got. 

I'm getting to the point where she's announced it so early that I'm starting to not care whether Tropico comes out at all. 

John Mitchum, the actor?

Found this picture:

I'm positive it's from the Tropico shoot because I remember seeing it around the time it was filmed. It was initially posted by someone who worked at Interscope (who then deleted it) but it looks like someone saved it and posted it. So we have a new location - a house! I wonder how that works into the narrative. 

Come on, it says he has no money and is living with (and probably taking care of) his elderly mother, that's a sad thing to happen to anyone regardless of whether people like him or not. He probably got paid for this story and they're going to turn into more of a drama. The music industry is cruel, plenty of people end up poor and bitter when their careers don't work out, "So Legit" reeks of similar entitled bitterness. The only thing with this article is that Lana seems awkwardly worked in. 

I want her to attend mainly so she can walk the red carpet and discuss Tropico and when it's coming out. No other reason. 

GIVE US DATES LANA. A DAY IN A MONTH DATE. PLEASE. I AM GASPING.

Get the scoop whether it's monologues or 'acting'. 

I really wish she'd get a better stylist. 

WHY DOES IT LOOK SO CHEAP.

They better deliver otherwise I'm tracking down Mandler and bitchslapping him.

Aw, who cares if she's just posting as herself. It's a nice cover. 

Exciting. That poster is so cheap looking! Did Naomi make it in paint?
