Embach 45,197 Posted August 17, 2023 I have said it many times before but think she's a good actress and it's a fucking crime that Tropico wasn't nominated at the Oscars for best short-movie or something like that. Tropico definitely deserved more attention and it's crazy that it's still great piece of art after 10 years. Some movies do not age well even before it becomes one year old but Tropico definitely aged well like a fine wine. She deserves to be in a major movie in a major role but I feel like she doesn't want it since she said that she's too shy to be an actress. But even her acting in Ride and Candy Necklace was great too. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think she was happy with UV… but there was a lot of « fuck this shit » energy while creating it. And we know that Dan and her « fought » while creating the album, so maybe if she had only her way, maybe Uv wouldn’t be as much guitar-driven as it is now… 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Embach 45,197 Posted August 18, 2023 i don't really give a fuck about album (and single) cover arts like after all it's just a photo, more important to me is the music, a photo doesn't really affect it. like if it's great it's iconic but if you don't like the photo it's not the end of the world, why obsess over it?!?!? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra is fathomable as the outcome was brilliant- but born to die… Emile Haynie what have you done. Diet mt dew demo, nationa anthem demo, dark Paradise demo, what makes us girls demo, lolita lucky ones demo… emile… count your days my dude!
