Wow thanks MlVC!!!! I realized that Madonna works at the beginning of her with 2 young women that were alone in men’s world: Susan S. and Mary Lambert!!! And Madonna was also alone in a men’s world😍have you interviewed Mary Lambert at MLVC ?
15 minutes in and I have to say, Susan is just wonderful. Ok, I keep watching :) Update: She is great and you did a great interview. Gonna re- watch Desperately seeking Susan and trying to watch some other films of her. Kisses from Berlin
the real question everyone wanted an answer to that you never asked is why the two of them stopped working with one another..... LOL 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I got the book from an older gentleman friend who bought it for me on October 21 1992, the day of release. I was 16 in grade 11 and I proudly took this book to school. It was all the rage. 2 teachers actually borrowed it off of me overnight and I was able to do a an oral book report in my English class. I talked about the prose, the writing in first and third person as well as flipping through the book in front of the class as I did my report. ALL THE BOYS RAN TO THE FRONT OF THE CLASS TO SEE IT UP CLOSE. Madonna was once again light years ahead of her time and it was an ICONIC era to be alive in. Thanks for the memories!!
Ms performance in this dark movie is very interesting. It's her one role (maybe next to A league of their own) where her M persona does not take over the character. I think there is alot of chemistry between her and H Kitel. He is really good in this...except again its such a crappy film. I'll blame the director. I keep thinking with the help of AI and editing - this film could me molded into an interesting movie. One interesting aspect of this movie if you notice...M was still M in this movie. Her voice still over annunciating to great effect (which i Love) if you notice post Evita her voice and mannerisms changed a bit. I know we all change over time but I believe she consciously did this. Her voice tone became less street-smart 'ish and more lady like. Plus I'm just sayin i think this was her last film with her old face. I believe the surgical tweaks started soon after this movie timeline. Sorry to get off topic. This subject could be an entire podcast episode. Loving the M summer movie Marathon! Thx
I always loved this film. It isn’t a great movie nor is it the type of cinematic favorite one returns to for pleasure, but it captures the essence of its era and it has a unique grittiness. The fly-on-the-wall voyeuristic quality of the film within a film about a film teases a type of perversity that successfully causes the viewer to feel discomfort, even disgust. I don’t think you’re meant to like any of these characters, and I can’t imagine anyone being naive enough not to understand that this is a full-blown indictment of the vapid and morally bankrupt world of filmmaking inherent to Los Angeles that still exists in an only slightly different capacity today. I’m betting Griffin Dunne is the guest! He has a new book out.
SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!! I always wanted to to see a scene or scenes where you see an example of her “commercial piece of shit” acting past. Maybe a television commercial of Sarah promoting a tacky beauty product or maybe a scene from a cringey soap opera… that Eddy is watching while casting the movie or something …. just anything to show the contrast in her past work compared to “mother of mirrors”. Would’ve given us a whole new dimension to her character. Just like Abby in the next best thing. We needed a scene of how she interacts with her family. Rupert says “your Wacky family” and that’s the only time u hear anything about her family … the audience really needed more. #depth
😢Viewed twice, so heres my contribution to the review discussion: ❤as a WLW it was incredibly difficult to watch and absorb the violent content in this film ❤as film, its brilliant, arthouse, intelligent. I believe M at that time would have been drawn to the dichotomy of the key themes of madonna/whore ❤as a woman, I have huge respect for the way Madonna played the part, drew from her own experience, then expanded on that. Madonna is extremely intelligent with a rich life experience to draw on. She would have loved the irony involved in taking and playing this part within a film ❤Madonna and her co,-stars have brilliant relationships onscreen. Can easily imagine her hurt when the finished product ignored her input
In Japan this was released as “Body 2: Snake Eyes”. “Body of Evidence” was “Body” when it came out. I remembered thinking “How could this be Body 2?”. In “Body”, she…… no spillers 😆
Embrace it all, Nadya, baby! You are dedicated, incredible, brilliant! You work so hard, soak it all in! ,(& u can call on my people, I'd you're at a time when U need to explore your WLW side ...please bring your Madonna lol)
Success come from within..I love it! I'm achieving something, feeling more authentically me. WLW embracing, and achieving new and greater goals I set for myself
Final thread on Madonna's take on fame .I think you referenced Madonna, her Biopic, and her success brilliantly. It's not about who likes you, it's about achieving. Not sure I've quite grasped the nut of that idea here, but I do get ya! Would love to govt dinner with you both, then an intimate Madonna experience ..perhaps the film as it was explored here, with Madonna going back in time , no control, a small room dialogue with those she loves and trusts
Wow! Thank you ..feel like I'm in the presence of people who know Madonna on a deeper level, so there was some juicy stuff here, but no smut...for example - M doing a Vegas show, and the Kylie reference - mwah to that discourse ...spot on! Feels like home, proper queen discussion ❤🎉
Short girl here...... Madonna's height....... I would have been watching the big screens if I went. I kind of wish I would have though partially because of the cool looking unofficial merch! <3 Anyway, fun to hear about it all!
I loved the whole show. But this part was so stupidly insane. What a Queen . The lights and her in the air, it was full of energy and vibes. She is definitely the queen of pop. I attended in Dallas. 💜🌚🔥
I was there and it was my first Madonna’s concert and it was an amazing experience. When she came in Vogue with the Brazilian colors flag it was insane. I Will never forget this moment
