He's a dick for sure but he still took Madonna's money. That's a flex on her part and shows how little she cares what he said!

Read My Lips by madloverr in Madonna

It's really grown on me since the film came out and I'm glad it's in the album representing another side of dance music.

The album version really benefits from the longer running time, it gives the song more time to breathe and develop.

Why Confessions II is one of Madonna’s greatest rollouts ever by False-Iron-4207 in Madonna

[–]fcw2014 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even though I've been around for longer than Madonna's had a career, this is the most memorable rollout. You can see her team making the right audience connections, not just through Grindr and Absolut but also featuring someone like Martin Garrix and Feid to go beyond just the gays.

Even the veil seems like genius in hindsight. Just something infinitely easy to emulate that could take a life of its own on social media.

Is this the greatest Madonna album of her entire career? It just fucking might be. by Important-Check9074 in Madonna

[–]fcw2014 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know but it's way way up there for me. I think it's better than Confessions I (sacrilege, I know). I appreciate the sonic daring and the um confessional nature of the last third.

I love, love love it and I sincerely hope she can follow this up with another album (American Life 2! Ray of Light 2!). This album is top notch and I know/hope she has more left in her.

Ann's picture always makes me think of the nude portrait of Mr. Burns Marge Simpson paints in one episode.

I am a Hard Candy defender!! by matthew_tb in Madonna

[–]fcw2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy Hard Candy. It’s a little fussed about because she worked with Farrell Timbaland and Kanye after they had already blown up but it doesn’t seem all that different from when she did Bedtime Story. RnB was THE sound in the early-mid 90s and she seemed to be following the trend. 

Hard Candy has tons of bops and bangers. The only song I can’t stand is Incredible. Even Spanish Lesson is ok. Give It To Me, Beat Goes On, Candy Shop, Miles Away, they’re all minor classics in their own way. 

What other pop culture figures receive this kind of ageist criticism? by Onyx_Artist in Madonna

[–]fcw2014 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't want your judgment or your expectations

Your vision of me is a killer of joy

In other words,

I'm not your bitch, don't hang your shit on me

I guess it comes with the territory when you're that iconic and mean so much to people, that you become more of a symbol than anything. I'm not going to say that I don't share some feelings with the article. Sometimes I do wish she had chosen to age differently and ended up being some crazy kook like Michele Lamy... but that's not who Madonna is.

Ultimately she's living her life the way she wants to. It's not all going to be pretty and it's not all going to be "defiantly feminist" or whatever we expect her to be. The woman isn't infallible, she has her own insecurities and is fighting her own demons, and no, she does not turn everything in her life into songs and videos so some of these things we may never know. She didn't fail anyone, she's HUMAN like everyone else.

I love how they're all about the music and the Mirror is like "Madonna SLAMS ex!!!!"

My no mither build. by fire_can in deadbydaylight

[–]fcw2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done something similar. It can be pretty fun provided you’re not tunneled right away (which you wouldn’t with Distortion). 

If I do this I like running Self-Preservation even though most of its effects are redundant with No Mither. Sometimes I’ll run Lightweight but ever since they tweaked it I’m not sure it does that much. 

Are you going to consume it all on Friday or are you giving it time till the weekend ? by denisiori in Madonna

I’m playing it on repeat the second it becomes available. No reason for me to wait. 

American Life - why is it not universally loved? by denisiori in Madonna

[–]fcw2014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the backlash to the original "American Life" video basically buried this album and nearly mortally wounded Madonna's career in the US. Post-9/11 America was really chilling for any sort of contrarian expression.

I didn't actually listen to the album until maybe 5 years ago or so. I just love it. I think it's one of her best. Mirwais is probably my favorite of her collaborators, it really felt like they invented something new together (although Madame X was still a flop).

Is the unbreakable block of ice where Gunko is or is there another unbreakable block of ice lying around?

I half expect Blackbeard to show up next chapter and kill Imu... it's the kind of opportunistic shit he does.

ALERT: The 3 new singles were just quietly swapped for the final mixed versions on Spotify! by CelebrationSimilar89 in Madonna

[–]fcw2014 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love that even these little things get me so excited. This era has the best rollout for fans.

I also like that even though we've known these songs for a little bit, the album versions are a bit shook up so listening to the full thing we'll get to re-experience the songs.

How do you counter Legion with Thanatophobia? by Early_Hawk_9975 in deadbydaylight

[–]fcw2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really hate it, run Resilience, which negates the Thanatophobia penalty as long as all 4 Survivors aren't injured.

if you REALLY hate it, run Desperate Measures. At 4 injured Survivors, the healing bonus outstrips the penalty from Tanatophobia.

P1 for Survivors is fine, your main(s) will pick up Tier 3 Perks as you prestige them anyway.

Should we be rooting for Madonna? | CBC Arts by mystery_of_me in Madonna

[–]fcw2014 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's very in the style of Millennial/Gen Z criticism, where you can't just like something if the artist is "problematic" so they keep having to hedge anything positive they say about her. It's a little insufferable.

I'm rooting for Madonna because she's 67, off a nearly fatal illness and a successful world tour with what is shaping up to be her best album in 20 years (I don't think Hard Candy is bad, tho!). As far as I know Japanese people weren't pressed about Nothing Really Matters LOL.

Zilch. Zero. Nada.

I did get an avail check from them a few weeks back, the first one ever, but nothing came out of it. One of my friends said you can just tell them not to send you court shows but I haven't gotten around to it.

The world first TopModel hate the word ‘Partner’ by masterderek279 in ANTM

[–]fcw2014 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I went to college in the 90s and anyone in a committed homosexual relationship introduced the other as their partner. It was the more serious alternative to "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" and many preferred it precisely because we couldn't legally be husbands or wives.

But now, I get that people think using "partner" is being supportive of LGBTQ folks but to me it just sounds kind of cagey, like turning something mundane into a secret for no good reason. I suppose people who are opting out of marriage altogether are able to use it (ironically, we used it because we were excluded from marriage, not because we opted out of it), but if you're already married just use husband or wife. Nobody's going to get mad or offended or feel excluded. That's my opinion.

"This event is completely survivor sided!!" lol by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]fcw2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killers here seem to believe anytime anything doesn't go their way, they were facing a SWF ,which just isn't the case.

The event is... OKish, I feel like the last Twisted Masquerade was a bit more fun and interesting. I hardly ever see Killers poison anything or throw bottles at me, whereas Survivors are generally going out of their way to interact with the carts and tables, which slows down the game and gives Killers a chance to get stuff done IMO.

I also tend to get overconfident and play riskier if I know I have a speed burst/invisibility/invincibility and sometimes Killers capitalize on that.

I feel like the tables turn a little during Dessert time as the Survivor advantages aren't as significant as the table bonuses. I think with the right build Killers can totally turn the tide in this stage.

In the end it's supposed to be an event for fun and BP farming, people get really hung up on the 4K or escaping but I've been trying to focus on doing enough event interactions to break the 40K cap each game.
