  1. I don't get why you get so defensive when Eminem raps about hitting Lana when bitch sings about a guy hitting her in like 3 of every 5 songs. I can't do the math tbh  :bye2:

     

     

    I don't know if you're serious or not... but Lana singing about *wanting* a guy to hit her sexually isn't the same as getting punched twice in public and getting knocked unconscious. 

     

    And there ain't no way she couldn't be hurt or offended by that line lol. Imagine someone who you've loved so long dissing you by saying he'd punch the shit out of you. Smh.


  2. When did this happen?

    Lol at Lana being yet again completely oblivious to societal implications and biases of things she does. Nothing like appropriating lesbian kisses for attention..

    Not saying that she has to be feminist, but it would REALLY help her as a person and an artist to gain some social awareness. You can't pretend that you live in the galaxy when you're a product of society.

     

    You're assuming that these are taken by the photographer for 'cheap, sexual attention'.

    She did because she looked like Jennifer Lawrence and wanted to take it too far, and she succeeded... everyone thought it was them for the longest while.

     

    Anyways, it was an interesting interview. Lana sounds so... normal, instead of her other-worldly self.


  3. I like the idea, especially the "fast version" but you should mask the effect layer and get rid of the effect on her face just to give it a cleaner, less glitchy look! Also maybe play around with different text placement ideas/sizes/etc... Looks a little random right now. The fast version text needs a drop shadow like the normal one! Keep working at it, this could be a great cover. Love the colors :)

     

    Thanks! I got rid of the 'fast' effect from her head, if that's what you meant. I definitely know what you mean by random looking now, and I changed the text :) let me know what you think?

  4. I recently torrented bought Photoshop and spent a couple hours just playing around with it. I got to making a cover for FMWUTTT however, nothing fancy, and thought I would share it (there aren't many options for this song on coverlandia)

    And here is the same cover without the 'fast' effect:

  5. Going BACK to Tarantino films - True Romance (1993) - Written by Tarantino, directed by Tony Scott. 

     

    Patricia Arquette (who Lana's expressed being a fan of) plays Alabama Whitman who starts the film as a prostitute that marries her 3rd customer, Clarence. Clarence saves her from her pimp, accidentally steals a suitcase of their yayo from him and they drive to Hollywood to sell it. 

     

    Similarities: 

     

    1. Elvis worship - Clarence Worley is described in the script as a "young hipster hepcat":

             

     LDR (quotes):

    • Elvis is my daddy
    • Dirty Elvis Fantasy
    • baby's breathin Elvis lyrics - etc.

    TR:

    • [Clarence talking about Elvis] I'm no fag, but Elvis was good-lookin'. He was fuckin' prettier than most women. I always said if I ever had to fuck a guy... I mean had to 'cause my life depended on it... I'd fuck Elvis. 
      [Lucy] I'd fuck Elvis. 
      [Clarence]
      ...
      So we'd both fuck Elvis. It's nice to meet people with common interests, isn't it? 
    • Clarence also has his room covered in Elvis posters, talks about Elvis with strangers, Alabama uses an Elvis bust to save her life and Elvis appears as Clarence's 'Spirit guide' helping him in tough situations. Clarence and Alabama also name their son Elvis. 
    • [Clarence to Alabama]: You like Elvis, you like Janis, you like the Partridge family
      [Alabama] Actually, I don't like the Partridge family...

     

    2. No Kung Fu[?]

     

    LDR:

    • The 2007 Demo EP from Lana. I don't know for sure if it's fan-made - the title 'No Kung Fu' is pretty different.. and specific. But this film is what I thought of once I heard of this demo. (If this title is indeed 100% fake, then ignore).

    TR:

    • [Clarence] [sonny Chiba] is, bar none, the greatest actor in martial arts movies ever.
      [Lucy, not believing this] You want to take me to a Kung Fu movie?
      [Clarence] ...three Kung Fu movies.
      [Lucy, taking a drag] I don't think so. Not my cup of tea.
    • Clarence is a big fan of Kung Fu and that's how he meets Alabama. They both have this love in common. 
    • Lucy looks and sounds like Marilyn Monroe:

    3. Lana/Lizzy-esque themes VS True Romance:

     

    LDR: 

    • Lizzy had that southern charm going on, name-dropping states such as New Jersey, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi. She (and LDR) is also fond of Hollywood and Las Vegas. Lastly, she's mentioned Detroit in G&R and is alright with NYC since she was born there.
    • The rest of you Lizzy you would know about.

    TR: 

    • The couple start off in downtown Detroit - we see a smoky cocktail bar with the marilyn monroe look-a-like. We see a dingy motel room (with yayo stashes, gangstas and guns) and we see C's daddy's trailer home and white Chevy Nova.
    • They drive through America, going to Las Vegas and L.A. Most of the shots are of them staying at different h/motels including Motel 6, driving on the road or ordering fast food.
    • Alabama gives her new step daddy a big kiss on the lips before they leave, surprising both men. 
    • They then move through Las Vegas to California and deal with Hollywood big shots like actors and directors. Alabama has the idea to have Clarence meet the buyer on a rollercoaster and they refer to the cocaine as 'cola'. [butterflies part 2. coincidence? "Puts them on a rollercoaster, lures them in with Coca Cola". Or "coca-cola kid, rollercoaster child."]
    • The couple's best friend is trying to make it big in Hollywood, the other guy is already a famous actor and is arrested for speeding and yayo possession. 
    • Alabama is named after the state and is an all-American sweetheart with a southern accent. The clothes she wears (mainly leopard fur print) are all from Vegas, Nevada. She worked as a prostitute for a few days. Alabama's wardrobe is the perfect blend of pastels and trashy Americana; bubble gum sweet and steamingly sexy all in one. Clarence is dressed in rockabilly style with suede shoes, denim turn-ups, a white t-shirt worn under a red Hawaiian shirt and gold Elvis costume shades.
    • Alabama is very attractive to her bad boy, thinking it's so romantic for him to kill gangstas and when he's closing a big drug deal, she passes him a love note that says he's "so cool". 
    • The only foods that Alabama and Clarence eat (and crave) are fast foods and coca cola.
    • Lots and lots of yayo. 

    Quotes VS lyrics:

     

    [Lana]: Wrong, I know, killing someone. Gets a little easier when you've done it once.

    [Virgil]: Now the first guy you kill is always the hardest. [...] Now, the second one...it ain't half as tough row to hoe. You still feel somethin' but it's just so deluted this time around. [...] The third one's easy. It's gotten to the point now I'll do it just to watch their expressions change.

     

    [Lana]: My man walked in like a slow motion movie, I said, "you're so cool".
    [Alabama's monologue]: that three words went through my mind endlessly... you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. 

     

    [Lana]: Baby, I'm a four alarm fire and I'm what you desire.

    [Clarence] Isn't she the sweetest goddamned girl you ever saw in your whole life? Is she a four alarm fire, or what?

     

    [Lana]: Live fast, die young, be wild and have fun.

    [Clarence]: [Elvis] In [Jailhouse Rock], couldn't give a fuck about anything except rockin' and rollin', livin' fast, dyin' young, and leaving a good-looking corpse.

     

    [Lana]: Not since Bonnie and Clyde was two kids, so good at being bad bad bad
    [TR tagline]: Not since Bonnie and Clyde have two people been so good at being bad

     

    [Lana]: French vanilla ice-cream, just the way I like.

    [Clarence]: Do I look like a beautiful blond with big tits and an ass that tastes like French vanilla ice-cream?

     

     

    Lyrics vs. Picture:

     

    [Lana] Sit back in my pink cadillac (Alabama drive in their pink-purple Cadillac through - and eventually out of - America).

    TR: True-Romance-Arquette_l.jpg

     

    [Lana]: Your red Hawaiian shirt and you hair jet black, hanging 'round with your friends by the track
