The Madonna Thread

I was just reading Carl's Wiki link on this. Julie on Madonna's reaction (warm, half-finished wine aside... I hope Julie is kidding about drinking it, Madonna probably drank the bottle and then pissed in it before having it mailed out. I would have, lol):

Carl, no idea. But it looks like she's up for more. I got to look up how Julie looks these days, it's been ages since I've seen her anywhere.

Weird Al's 1985 "Like a Surgeon" (I've heard Her Madgesty came up with the title and off and onwards the project went)...

If Julie makes a new movie, she must not leave out the flower incident. I had only heard about the incident in passing (in one of the articles cheering the SB performance), but YouTube keeps us all up to date...

As Evita was mentioned earlier.

Here's Madonna performing You Must Love Me at the '97 Oscar's. The song won the Oscar for Best Original Song.

Time Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote it especially for Madonna to song in the film. It has since been incorporated into stage revivals of the musical.

Of course, she was pregnant with Lourdes when this was filmed:

That is one beautiful song and she does a great job with it.

Hall of Fame inductions...

A more appropriate name would be the U.S. Music Hall of Fame. "Rock & Roll" sounds so much cooler though but you definitely don't need to be a rocker to be inducted into this hall of fame.

I think Donna Summers was eligible the year Madonna got in. So they still haven't put her in? She was/is the disco queen. If Pop and Dance go in, Disco should as well.

The rape. I had read about that in Wiki a couple of months ago...

I think Madonna did a really good job in the movie in terms of overall performance, but she's sooo not theater (not to mention she can't belt) as a singer or actor and that's missing in some of the song performances - most evidently DCFMA. In DCFMA it was as if she was just trying so hard to get it right and that was more prominent than feeling the words.

Here's PSB (it's in spanish, but dammmmn, you don't need a translator):

Before she played Evita, she mocked-performed Don't Cry For Me Argentina during a Girlie Show stop in Argentina.

I liked the small Latin portion of the Girlie Show tour.....

Madonna on Nightline discussing (or justifying) Justify My Love. It's hilarious how flattered she becomes anytime he points out that she's a powerful woman. She's pretty annoying here though, she won't give an inch no matter how he comes at her. I had totally forgotten about the Juke Box channel.

I like this interview. In this interview, she finally admits somewhat to desiring shock value at the time of her sex period and it being somewhat wrong that she was just forcing it on people without an alternative idea from her in the picture...

Thanks for posting. I always end up skipping over most of TGS when I'm looking at old tours on YT. I had only looked at the Rain clip, because it was Rain at the Girlie Show which at that time (and I guess still) I associated with nudity .

    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
