I am the wrong person to come to for exact details of a concert movie, or, really, for a review of a concert movie — I do not like them. I don't re-watch Madonna's spectacular concerts ever, because for me, the live experience is 95% of the entire experience. I only like a concert film if I haven't seen a concert, or as a faithful document of what happened. Though I did like how Truth or Dare handled Blond Ambition, I would definitely like to have also had a straight, pro-shot Blond Ambition video, too.

Wish me luck.

The 2021 MTV VMAs were off to a bootylicious start when Madonna — following a sweet sort of updating of her “Happy Anniversary, Darling” spot for MTV (that was wishing the network a happy 1oth, this was wishing it a happy GULP 40th) — showed up in full Dita Parlo gear, turning around to helpfully provide a big ass to kiss for any of her haters.

It was good TV, and probably great promo for her October 8 Madame X concert film on Paramount+.

Lil Nas X killed another live performance on a major awards show, arriving to save the somewhat boring MTV VMAs at the Barclays Center Sunday night.

I also loved that he was introduced by another Black gay man, Billy Porter:

Also liked that the show welcomed back other '80s icons in honor of its anniversary, including Cyndi Lauper (demanding women's rights) and David Lee Roth. I actually wish they'd gone even further into it and gotten Janet Jackson and a host of others I'm thinking of. (Maybe Janet could close the show still, as it isn't over yet.)
