MADONNA REWATCH PARTY #1: Blond Ambition Tour & Truth or Dare - 10th April (19:00 BST)

[Cerro de Casa]

I still think the juxtaposition of the heartbreaking "I wonder what she looks like now...just a bunch of dust" to her brother being entirely uneasy and unable to deal with it to her childlike "they're going to bury me sideways" to, finally, "I don't wanna stay here anymore" is one of the most eyeopening things here. She entirely reverts to childhood.

I love that scene so much but Chris' HATEFUL BOOK ruined it for me when he referred to it as her 'finest acting performance' (or something like that.)

 

[lolly]

Her VOX are ON POINT at this doctor visit, though

 

[Sheena]

Yeah but he hated her. I took that with a pinch of SALT.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Ollie is wearing the KIT single cover on his T-shirt

 

[Sheena]

I always found it interesting how the throat doctor would mock her and she didn't care? Did he know her? Or was he just that comfortable around her?

IMAGINE SOMEONE DOING THAT NOW!

 

[lolly]

I'd totally have fucked Beatty, bouffant aside

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The queens ki-kiing is so much fun

 

[Cerro de Casa]

There's always gonna be queens on the rag

 

[Sheena]

It's such a shame the way modern eyes will look at Oliver, I think. Strike A Pose did a lot to redress that balance, I feel.

 

[Penelope]

Oooh, NOTHING'S CHANGED with that Pride parade

FUCK OFF OLIVER

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I'm going to use her pep talk with Ollie in my next LEADERSHIP SEMINAR

 

[Sheena]

They were fucking HORRIBLE to Oliver

 

[Penelope]

"The fact he's black means nothing to Madonna" THEY WERE STILL WRITING THAT IN 1990?!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

She said she just had some CRANBERRY juice!?!?!?!

 

[Lucille]

QUEENS ON THE RAG!

 

[Penelope]

Please don't give me ATTITUDE cos I WON'T TOLERATE IT

 

[Sheena]

He wasn't the best dancer...

THAT'S RIGHT!

 

[Lucille]

QUEENS ON THE RAG!

I’m using this one so don’t say you weren’t warned!

 

[GNL]

So was he dicking her down or no?

 

[lolly]

'She's attracted to him body and heart-'
'But not mind'

 

[Cerro de Casa]

So was he dicking her down or no?

No.

 

[Lucille]

Omg this scene

 

[Sheena]

In retrospect, it's RIDICULOUS how UNSERIOUSLY everyone takes the accusation of RAPE!

 

[lolly]

Madonna's reaction to this is like Ellie in the Duffy thread

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The curls are cute in Holiday when they're a bit more LOOSE & SWEATY...

 

[Sheena]

I don't CARE what you do after...

 

[GNL]

This bit has aged terribly

 

[Sheena]

The curls are cute in Holiday when they're a bit more LOOSE & SWEATY...

WILL YOU JUST PAUSE FOR ABOUT 90 SECONDS?!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

WILL YOU JUST PAUSE FOR ABOUT 90 SECONDS?!

OOOOPS
Will do

 

[lolly]

Anyway yes

I'd be fucked by Slam, but fuck Gabriel

Definite

 

[Sheena]

OOOOPS
Will do

Maybe 3 minutes to be fair

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Anyway yes

I'd be fucked by Slam, but fuck Gabriel

Definite

Slam still looks gorgeous now. RIP Gabriel

 

[Sheena]

Anyway yes

I'd be fucked by Slam, but fuck Gabriel

Definite

CALLED IT

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Maybe 3 minutes to be fair

I need a wee break anyway - will pause after Holiday...

 

[Penelope]

Were any other popstars of the time as VOCAL ABOUT THE GAYS?

 

[lolly]

Were any other popstars of the time as VOCAL ABOUT THE GAYS?

She was a fucking BEACON, BELIEVE ME

 

[Sheena]

Were any other popstars of the time as VOCAL ABOUT THE GAYS?

Oh FUCK ME NO! She was RIDICULOUSLY groundbreaking. I hate that she is so dismissed by the media that gays of today don't realise JUST what she did for us.

 

[Penelope]

QUEEN

 

[Lucille]

Oh FUCK ME NO! She was RIDICULOUSLY groundbreaking. I hate that she is so dismissed by the media that gays of today don't realise JUST what she did for us.

Quite, she did more than just write ‘Born This Way’.

 

[Sheena]

You have to realise this was set against a backdrop of AIDS hysteria. The "gay disease". Gays were vilified and hated and she was one of the few mainstream stars to embrace the gays.

I was too young to appreciate it quite as much as perhaps some could, but she is SO important to the acceptance of gay people generally and gay culture RIDICULOUSLY.
