    MADONNA - NAKED AMBITION UK C4 DOC

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    Funny you post about the Naked Ambition doc, I watched all six episodes a couple of days ago (5 and 6 on that lockerz website). I also found it better than Driven. But also hoping for new docs that are even more comprehensive, for instance including the whole French Expedition.

    This one is from 2000 and includes interview snippets from Freddie DeMann. I had NEVER heard him talk about her after they went their separate ways and I would LOVE to hear more from him. Has anyone ever seen/read post-Madonna DeMann interviews?

    Frankly i rolled my eyes too when i read Madonna's press release about the Amnesty concert where she introduced The Pussy riots as "my fellow freedom fighters". I hope she won't say it again as she'll introduce them onstage.

    On the other hand i'm not fond of Pussy Riots, i found what they did pueril and silly but i supported them because their punishment was disproportioned. I'm still keeping my judgement to myself though, i wanna know better what they stand for because another supposedly feminist group from eastern Europe, The Femen turned out to be horrible islamophobic cunts and their top leader and creator is a man close to fascist groups. I wanna know what Pussy Riot think of the Femen.

    #PussyRiot shading Madonna at the 48 minute mark. http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/10248675/

    doesn't seem that bad but I'm watching without sound.

    the guy interviewing them already seems to take joy out of it

    Based on that video I would say that it is no big deal. I think people here may be overreacting. :chuckle:

    Obviously Pussy Riot's outspokenness in a dictatorship and that of international mogul Madonna carry very different risks. There may be some translation issues. After the confused bit she says that Madonna is cool.

    Let's not forget that the trial and imprisonment of Pussy Riot was already a HUGE international talking issue BEFORE Madonna ever entered the picture. Madonna's intentions were undoubtedly sound and she also gained publicity for joining the good cause of pleading for Pussy Riot's release.

    I would suggest people not to get their knickers in a twist over this and see things in perspective. :old:

    Hatred of Madonna ... Or not?

    I don't understand when people here say she's in some kind of pinnacle of hatred...really?...I could swear to the lords of darkness that this shyt comes basically from the US perspective (plus the most notorious UK whimpy cocks Smelton and Puke Morgan) and the sheep watching tv following those stupid shows where people bring down others...some "for fun"...how dare people who haven't walked the walk bash others?...it's so mediocre and vile..but what I like is that Madonna just doesn't give a shyt...she will always push buttons...whether it is perceived as 'appropriate' or not is subjective and she knows that....and those fans who say "oh she should just write good songs...oh she should stay away from IG...oh she should do this and that..."...really?...go live ur own lives and let the woman live hers...is not like she's slitting throats out there, or even worse, being a lazy old star living from her past achievements, she's making new achievements every year...and she won't stop which will most likely make some people furious and anxious :laugh:

    Hatred of Madonna ... Or not?

    AGE OF THE INTERNET. Every cunt with a keyboard can voice their opinion. It MAY SEEM like the hatred is bigger, but in reality, it's just more accessible. Nothing has changed. LOOK at the gross of MDNA TOUR and ALBUM.She's a legend. People know it. Is she being fully respected for her contribution to music and pop culture? NO, of course not. But she NEVER has.

    Internet may give the impression that negativity is more widespread, but I do not believe it is as bad as in the wake of the Sex book.

    As for the thread question and case study: very recognizable. I think a lot of people do not actively voice positive feelings for her out if fear of being ridiculed. With prevailing sexist and ageist attitudes, it's easier and safer to take cheap shots. And M's heterogenous image being the opposite of a vulnerable helpless sweetheart, probably many people don't feel the need to defend her. Openly championing Madonna creates a safe environment in which people dare to open up a bit about their true feelings.

    And that still leaves armies of people who still despise her with a fiery passion with a passion as the Capitalist Queen of Soulless Perpetual Self-promotion. :chuckle:
