Lana wishes she paved the way and could sing as well as Florence.

Oops. Uh well . . . it's better than No Light, No Light? Speaking of which, Ultimate No Light, No Light performance: Ultimate Never Let Me Go performance:

There are many classics on Lungs but I don't really like Girl With One Eye (the demo - Filthy Fingers - is much stronger imo). Also, My Boy Builds Coffins and Kiss With a Fist (likewise, I think Happy Slap is better) are okay but not really incredible, and really show that they're being pulled in different directions on the debut. My ranking would probably go . . HAH = HBHBHB Ceremonials = Lungs Unplugged I don't think there are any week numbers on HAH or HBHBHB (except dorky Caught. It's so plonky. OOO-oo-oo-ooo-oo-oo-ooo-ooooooo). Ceremonials has just as many iconic anthems but Leave My Body is a kitchen sink and Seven Devils gives me anxiety. Also I don't really care for Never Let Me Go - it's always overshadowing Lover to Lover which is tons better. Ceremonials was the best era aesthetically, vocally and for live performances however. Ultimate Shake it Out performance Ultimate Lover to Lover

@World At War I can never decide on my favourite, but I became a true stan for HBHBHB. And I have the air/earth symbol tattooed on my bicep because that album is flawless*. *except for Caught

A few favourites: When our queen invented dancing and looked into the gates of heaven and when I photobombed her and got made into a fandom meme Impossible to pick favourite songs when we have Hunger, Third Eye, HBHBHB, Shake It Out . . . so I will be celebrating while streaming TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH for its incredible bridge. "AND WHO CARES ABOUT THE THING I DID THAT NIGHT?? SO WHAT?! MAYBE LUNA HAD IT RIGHT! AND WHO CAAAAAAARES IF I'M COMING BACK ALIVE?! SO WHAAAAAAAT? AT LEAST I HAD THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT!!"

aww what a cutie. Her skin looks so HEALTHY. Flannels forever, forever flannels.

I can't stop laughing at this. FUCK how I never seen it.

wat does it mean

I thought that was great, plus handled tastefully and hardly 'in-yer-face' about it. I also thought Lev was a terrific addition - I see people either 1) accusing ND of including a trans character as a political agenda or 2) taking offence that the story was written by a non-trans actor. For both points, it doesn't impact on the story at all, and Lev was also voiced and motion captured by a trans actor that approved the script, and it's not as though it wasn't written in careful consultation. And at the very least, it's a really important step forward in representation in what is usually a very cis/hetero dominated landscape, so even an incremental inclusion is going to help shift the norm of the usual boring binary expectation (same applies to a muscular, strong woman like Abby).

It's pretty overlooked and never discussed or mentioned by anyone, and then a claim it was 'farewell' project (maybe just for the era . . .) . I love it, but it is soooo extra.

The fact she made Tropico??? A short Biblical film with her songs about sins and redemption?? With Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Adam and Eve, biker gangs and strip joints? With Latin-American offspring? All in that OSCENE small widescreen ratio???

That's cute and all Clampi but where is ??? ????? ◉ل͜◉ mkay I'm done now.

I think this project is only going to have photos featured that Lana herself has taken? Not that it excuses her low effort selfie (it's so eye-rolling when people don't have headshots), but the description mentioned the book includes photos by her. So she might not have wanted Chuck to have anything to do with this project.

FANTASTIC taste. The Last of Us Part 2 is probably the greatest narrative game I've ever played. From Seattle Day 3 onwards, the relentless emotional scenes packed one after the other meant I had to take a few breaks. I was clawing at my face during the cut scenes. I wrote this in the general video games thread but I only played Part One last month, and I thought it was great but not really exceptional (not the game's fault - I think it's a product of it's time and the whole 'loss via apocalypse' premise is pretty common now). But I was totally blown away by Part 2 and I liked it a lot more. The narrative is absolutely stunning, the character writing is amazing and I can't believe how they literally get you to empathise with both leads. I literally recoiled in horror when it looked like It's scary and sad how much it feels like it could be real. The cruel relentlessness and emptiness that comes with seeking revenge, but maybe even scarier is how selfish human nature is. It made me feel really uneasy with we saw how factions rose up, only to cannibalise each other - I'd like to think humans aren't so selfish but considering this pandemic with basic things like panic buying/hoarding alone, it's pretty scary and grim to predict what might happen in the future . . . The hate it gets yeah, just fragile masculinity shining through as normal - and people bitching that they couldn't play as Joel. It was so necessary to not play as him because if it wasn't there the game would be essentially the same as the first time, and the mirrored quest for revenge wouldn't work at all. It's also a fuckin' ballsy move and is amazing how blinded you are trying to get to that end goal. I still think about the ending and the game weeks after I finished it. I want everyone to experience the story.

I'm going for Worst Taste at the Lipsters this year!!

Time to sign off for a while

Fair enough, I've edited my post. I'm sure that fan is very happy.

not to be a cantankerous BITCH but what is this she is promoting?

So many fucking GREAT lines in this song. A nihilistic anthem! "What did you do last night? Ugh I was out so late . . . and now I'm . . . so tired". "What's your name? What's your art? Nobody knows about my broken heart" "In the back of a car, I just met them tonight, and I feel like such a star." "I used to cry, but now I don't have the time! I used to be so fragile, but now I'm so wild."

C O O L COOL! I'm a cool party girl, in a cool party world.

Wowza. Really feeling (and hearing) his heartbreak on this one. STUD is so uncomfortably familiar it made me feel dirty. Rager is probably my favourite on a first listen. He's our little darling of music in Aus so I expect there'll be some kind of radio play to look forward to.

Hi everyone! Ya boy Sam has just dug a ditch in the side of the road, where you can probably find my body after everyone has read these hot takes! The second half of Honeymoon is really boring and doesn't have the replay value that Lana's other records have. Justifying Honeymoon as an 'experience' that you need to sit through in its entirety to enjoy doesn't excuse how slow the entire album is. Chuck's cover is bad, but Neil Krug's is even worse. Freak's demo is better than the album version. There's a reason Art Deco, 24, Religion and Swan Song are never on the setlist (some never being sung) Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is a good cover. 24 is the worst song Lana has produced. I would rather listen to Noir on repeat. Liking Honeymoon most doesn't make you interesting or unique, since every Lana del Rey album has incredible elements. Signing off, bang bang, kiss kiss. xo

I have lots of horror movies I love (Us, Hereditary, 30 Days of Night eh) but I am loving all the movies about zombies/pandemics at the moment. They're a little formulaic once you're watching them back to back, but there is a weird comfort in them and I love me some jump scares. I've seen (in order of entertainment) Train to Busan Contagion Shaun of the Dead I Am Legend World War Z I wanna watch 28 Days Later but it's not on any Aus. streaming services atm! Also shout out to 30 Days of Night for this eye watering scene
