In Bed With Madonna (aka Truth Or Dare)

[moorje]

I got an email update from Zavvi saying they will be sending this out by 12th August. Did anyone else get this?

I thought it had been cancelled full stop?

I thought it was cancelled too so I just bought the American disc from Music Magpie this week, I watched it last night lol...

Has Truth or Dare ever physically appeared anywhere? Any online listing still has no mention of a release date or anything else.

Despite Zavvi emailing me last week saying it would be posted by Monday, I think that was probably an automated 'delay from supplier' email rather than an accurate update.

This is back on the release schedule again. April 27th apparently.

Hi, can you please tell me if english subtitles are avaiable on the german blu ray? Thank you

Hi - i just checked my German Blu ray for you- it has german and english subtitles. If you like the film and cant play the USA region A locked disc, this is the one to get as we will never get the full blond ambition tour on blu-ray as they have lost the original paris footage

most of my madonna movie blu rays are imports but at least we got swept away on a UK blu-ray (and yes i do like swept away) we just need warner archive to put out a remastered who's that girl as the amazon version looks very rough.

Warner Archive should jump to 4K and their first releases should be Who's That Girl and The Thief and the Cobbler: The Final Cut.
WB blew it by not making the IMAX Remaster of BvS the first 4K Warner Archive release but at least we're getting a wider release for the BvS remaster.

I've heard three different stories, taken from the fans and apparently the director, director of photography and Madonna. One story is that the full show was filmed. Another is that only parts were filmed. And the third story is that they lost it. So I don't know what to believe. If Madonna has it, I kind of feel like she wouldn't be that interested in releasing it, since she wants to stay relevant and it might highlight her former glory too much.

This documentary is entertaining, but I definitely wouldn't watch it for the actual Blond Ambition show. There is far too much missing for such a great show. The best copy I've found of the Nice show is the "US in-house promo DVD" version on one of the Madonna fansites. Has less pixelation than the bootleg I bought on what I thought was a legitimate M site, before I understood that this movie was never officially released on DVD. This show was shot on tape, unlike the movie, so it's never gonna look as good. I find the ending of the Nice show more satisfying, though, since it was the very last of the tour, which gives her Keep It Together ending song about family a bit more meaning. Plus, with this final show, she just told the audience that the next song would be her last and thanked them, instead of doing that fake "Thank you, goodnight" followed by an encore thing that musicians do so much. I don't know if she did it in the Paris tour (where the bulk of the movie's show was filmed), but she did it in Japan. I also find the shots in the movie too erratic for a concert.
