lmao some of you guys need to calm the fuck down; quit bashing Sky and Frances. as Sky rightfully said, the issue is suicide, not Lana. i swear some of y'all are such blind Lana followers that you instantly support what she says, whether it's right or not. Lana isn't a perfect person, she says and does things that are problematic (eg. the whole 'whore' debate from Fucked My Way) and i think it's right that people point this out to her. in the interview, she does say that she wishes she was dead, but i feel she was goaded into that response and didn't expect the huge backlash that appeared as a result. Frances is reminding Lana that she is a celeb now; she has to monitor what she says because it can and will be misconstrued. stop hating on Frances and Sky because they say things you disagree with.

He also used to be in a band called Gods and monsters I read somewhere that he and Jimmy Gnecco were friends, thought that was shocking. I'd have to find the receipts though.

oh here we go with lanaboards slagging someone else off for truth telling.
 
i agree with another member. lana glamorized that shit and it was fucked up. frances was right and good for her for voicing her opinions and she genuinely seemed concerned for lana. some people have a real thirst for blood and drama. stop yall. 
 

 
ilu for this mature reply. 
 

James Franco and Jared Leto are one of the biggest creeps in Hollywood who hit on every girl so I don't really want Lana to date somebody like them...
At this point it seems to me that it would be best if she was single for some time and focused on herself (:

But who doesn't want to know if Scarlett Johansson is wearing any underwear? #DirtyOldManPost
 

No, you're not.  

I completely disagree with this and almost everyone in this thread. 
I really don't understand Lana's reaction or the reaction of most of this fanbase to the interview. Many of you have completely lost any shred of objectivity in worshiping your queen. "I'm your cult leader", indeed. Neither the interviewer nor the editor did anything wrong here. (Oh, BTW, they never used the word "suicidal".) This is as clear cut a case of attacking the messenger if there ever was one. Shame on any fans who sent hate messages to them. It's also just stupid. You only validate all the negative press she's ever received. I'm also really bothered by the tendency in this fanbase (perhaps online millennial culture generally?) to celebrate "sassy" responses even when in the wrong as if it's somehow inherently admirable because it's "sticking up for yourself". I find that really warped. In my view Lana did three things wrong here: 1) Saying dumb shit in the first place. 2) Saying more dumb shit on Twitter blaming the journalist for the original dumb shit she said. 3) Deleting the dumb shit she said on Twitter even though someone has certainly screencapped her dumb shit. If Lana doesn't like headlines like these, there's an easy solution: Don't give journalists soundbites like this to work with. And if she just can't help herself there's an easy solution to that: Stop giving interviews. This is just the umpteenth example of Lana's victim-playing far exceeding her victimhood. It's getting really old.
 
I mean, most of what Lana has been bitching about is the media and how she doesn't like how it's portrayed her... so of course the logical thing for her to do is give a shitload of interviews to the media. And then act surprised and indignant when she inevitably doesn't like how it portrays her... You know, by quoting her verbatim in their headline. But, you know, it's just oh so scandalous that anyone would even raise the question that someone who titled their album Born to Die or sang "but I wish I was dead" or "I wanna die" et cetera et cetera might have a death wish. Please.
 
This whole kerfuffle is also just dumb from a PR perspective. In light of her unfair criticism of this interview, her praise of the very good NYT article will likely now be seen (unfairly) as a puff piece. And instead of coverage dominated by mostly positive reviews and successful worldwide sales figures, she fucks it up with this bullshit. Unless it's part of a deliberate strategy to stir up controversy on the thinking that all publicity is good publicity, but nothing about Lana's media strategy since she hit the big time has seemed very well thought out to me. People who think this is actually Lana being some sort of media Svengali are like political pundits who used to talk about Obama playing multi-dimensional chess: fawning partisans who see what they want to see.

Something I've been thinking about lately is a theme in both her music and interviews: passivity. (And also in this instance passive-aggressiveness.) The passivity or submissiveness in her lyrics has been pretty well dissected, especially the feminist angle, but as it relates to her interviews, I don't think it really has been. She's always talking about how sad she is and how her treatment by the media makes her sad and that she keeps playing for her fans even though it doesn't make her happy and she doesn't want to do this shit anymore... as if she has absolutely zero agency and is just an object acted upon by external forces. She constantly blames others and takes no responsibility for her own role in her current situation or her ability to take action to get out of it. I mean, she has resources at her disposal such that she could do almost anything she wants. If she really doesn't want to do this shit anymore, barring contractual obligations (which would still be her responsibility, she signed the papers), she should be able to stop making music today, never work a day in her life again, and still live a quiet, comfortable middle-class life on the money she's already earned, if she hasn't completely squandered it on topiary ponies or making self-indulgent 30-minute short films. And if she's contractually obligated to produce a certain number of albums, she's got plenty of stuff already recorded she could use. At some point she needs to put up or shut up. Or at least stop pointing her finger everywhere else and look within. Really, this episode is a low point for both her and her fanbase.

Hum that's kinda sad but at least it's for the best I guess. Just don't want Lana to fall for that pretentious arty pedophile aka James Dean Franco tbh.
 
(And now Barrie's dick is free    )

Obviously not suicidal and a very misleading headline that was used solely for the fact that it's attention grabbing. I get that journalism is supposed to be able to attract readers, but misleading them into believing Lana's top priority is dying is nonsense. However, Lana was misguided with her tweets, especially mixing up the names.
 
He's an ass, but so is she.

Yea I'm dyingggg for it over here! The actual website says 3-10 days dispatch and I was on amazon.ca last night and they have the box sets on there now and it's gunna be released on this coming Monday, so I'm hoping mine will ship on Monday too! lol

I honestly feel sorry for everyone who don't get how great Mark is for Lana's videos. He was the perfect choice especially for SoC, the way he seems so cool but at the same time so vulnerable, his eyes and the way he looks at Lana with such admiration and sadness. I was very touched by him in this video.
 
Mark honestly seems like a very nice guy in interviews and stuff. I'm sort of secretly hoping that Lana is or will be dating him in the future......

Did you see his raggedy ass eyebrow it distracted me the entire time

i love it, i had low expectations after seeing the snippet.

i think its one of her best videos but i wish it was edited better. Like the opening scene shouldve just been the shot with camera moving down the highway with no ugly daddy eyebrows superimposed over it... it wouldve been very eerie and would fit with the intro of the song

Well done Lana!        

 

 



 

*please like this comment, I have spent 15 minutes to choose the GIFs

She was just high on something y'all...

Nah, its dope fiends..... lol wow, Dope fiends are people who buy from the supplier.. It makes more sense then "things".

"Sad Girl" is kind of the gangsta future jazz version of
 

On the contrary, he seems too crotchety and bitter to not be well versed in classic dad-rock, and the idea of a highly stylized 28 year old woman appropriating that sound for her "childish, monotone, etc) songs about death, abusive relationships and opulence is upsetting to him. Even when he begrudgingly admits some minuscule thing about the album doesn't suck, he makes sure to attribute it to a man. Also "her vocals make it sound like she just slipped herself a date rape drug" Fucking really? Let's just stick with the benzodiazepine comparisons if we must do the "lol how sedated is this bitch" thing.
 
Even if Lana doesn't see the sexism in some of the critique surrounding her rise, it is there, and it has always been there. 

Teasing us with that "Living Legend" mention.
No direct thanks to AG.
No mention of Barrie in sight. 

It's "You think you're Hunter S Thompson".

What? You think pols don't like their coke too? But yeah, I'm pretty sure she means South Americans not Washingtonians. Since she's only influenced by men it seems, someone should mansplain her the difference.

Only Lana would quote Phil Collins in a song named after GNR:

Yo they spelt Hydrangea wrong in the Old Money picture.
