Elina

I’m absolutely devastated. I’ve always had so much respect for her despite only recently listening to her records. God. Heartbroken. 

Beyond tragic in every way. She must’ve been in so much pain. Hoping she’s with her son now
 

Really sad, her refusal to conform was inspiring. Incredible talent. 
 
She was 56 btw. 

RIP to an absolute icon and immense talent. the lion and the cobra is a god tier record.

jane, tony & now sinéad.. rest in peace, such a talented woman

Just awful. She was such a talent. I hope it wasn’t suicide  I know she’d been suffering for a long time regarding her mental health 

What the hell 

If this matches the strength of their arguments in court Miss Lizzo is winning
 
"We just felt like..."
 
"We had it in our minds that..."
 
All they really said is that the dancers who Lizzo liked the most would be invited to more things + dance for more shows... Duh

Watched it today and it was soo fun. Haven't seen people this excited to go to the movies in so long. There wasn't a single empty seat and people were all dressed up in pink, it was real cute. The last movie I saw in theaters was Super Mario Bros and it was near empty in there lmao. When I went to see Bones and All it literally WAS empty like literally just me and my friend bshdfb (it wasn't that big of a movie but still...). People really don't go to the cinema like they used to here. Very iconic that a movie about Barbie became such a cultural phenomenon and managed to do all this.

Everytime I see Taylor Swift I think of a doll. She would have been a great Barbie too. Margot Robbie did a wonderful job though. And how cute was Dua?!
 
Especially loved the first minutes of the movie: Barbieland looks nice. Would not mind to have a perfect day every day over there. 🌈💄👗👙🛻🌊☀️
 
Billie‘s and Dua‘s songs are everything!

This movie is a slay for me and would've been better with more of those cut scenes, but still a slayage

This movie made no sense 2/5
 

Ok I REALLY hope we get a directors cut, cuz here's a new photo from the editing process

WE LOST A POST-CREDIT SCENE OF MIDGE GIVING BIRTH among so many other scenes in that stack in the bottom right

The "I'm Just Ken" scene was a bit too good, other than that the moments that made the movie were Barbie and the old woman on the bench and the montage at the end w/WWIMF

I don't really get that; yeah the song is Barbie inspired, but it's a real mood-killer and it uses Barbie as a negative metaphor. Gaga has also been known to follow the same bullshit ideas about Barbie being a bad role model that this film criticizes

This song seems to be about what is described in revelations. The woman clothed in gold and the man child who is going to kill the Dragon for her (dragon slayer) that has been chasing her and her children. This also delves into gnostic texts about sophia eve zoe who is the woman revelations is referring to. She is the "fathers" daughter and is holy. They used to build monuments to her all over the world, now she is almost forgotten. The dragon slayer is Adam and he is supposed to come back and through his faith save the elect of God and her from the dragon.

Ppl like to hate on Blue Banisters but that's bc they haven't yet realized that it is actually UV 2.0

I have a huge soft spot for this song. One of my fav “Tropico” leaks tbh

I fw it. 
I really like how it brings ideas of mortality and the finals lines reflect to me how Lana is singing for herself "I’ve discovered my preaching is mostly about me"  
I like the sound and power it brings. It inspires a lot of emotions in me.
 
(and, I think I'm lucky it happens to not touch on religious triggers for me, which I understand would be a deal breaker if it did)

ngl its starting to grow on me..........

Not too bad actually. She's listed as first writer (JS second, Antonoff last) on the physical's liner notes, which makes me optimistic she contributed significantly to the music, as we know JS is solely responsible for the "lyrics". I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when she suggested it to JS, and would have loved to have monitored LDR with all sorts of physio-measures while she played it for him, as well as the whole album (at least, if I were he, I would have requested that), just to see what she was most anxious about. Heck, I would have loved to have monitored the pastor as well. 
 
As for the sermon's content (i.e., love what you have; don't lust for what you don't?), this could be contradictory from other church positions on familiar issues that I don't need to rehash here. That is, provided one doesn't break any golden rules, the first thing you have is yourself, and maybe the 2nd thing is other people compatible with yourself. The idea of why God would bother with him, when there's the sky, whales, and rhinos, I found quaint, because lots of atheist physicists rationalize the meaning of (intelligent) life as the (sole) means of how the universe gets to know the universe. I watch a lot of youtube videos on philosophy, science, whatnot, among them atheistic/"apologetic" videos (e.g., meaning of life, with or without religion, is a bigee). 
 
The last para of the interlude reflects the highly personal nature of the album (sort of forcing the interlude to connect to the album); however, that line wasn't quite as comprehensible, for me, in the context of his sermon.

Now I’ve never ever been to a church or heard preaching to this interlude was kinda a shock to me. I love his voice, the tone and the whole pace, also the instrumental is amazing too. “I used to think my preaching was mostly about you but it’s mostly about me” parallels with Lana’s writing too. The creepy trio of interludes and candy necklace is my favorite part. 
 
I get why you guys don’t like it as you live around Christianity, I really relate to that living in a Muslim country. 

I honestly love it. It's frightening, eerie, unsettling, and odd... And the super strong reactions people are having to it make me appreciate it even more. That's what art should do. I'm gay, grew up in the church, have had a very mixed experience with religion, but I find Lana's artistic vision fascinating and compelling. The interludes are obviously here to add a thick layer of heavy atmosphere. It doesn't bother me at all, but I can understand why others may not like it, projecting off their own lived experiences. Megachurches and celebrity pastors are evil if you ask me, but that's also why I'm not surprised Lana's intrigued by them.
