Madonna: Truth Or Dare

AMAZING DOCUMENTARY BUT WHO IS IN CHARGE OF MADONNA'S RELEASES??
As a dedicated Madonna fan for the last 25+ years, once again I am left disappointed with another repackage/release.
Why did we have to wait so long for a blu-ray of Truth Or Dare for one, especially since this HD version has been playing on Palladia (TV Network) in the US for over two years.

Ok fine, so we have to wait forever...could it be because "the powers that be" are working on making this an epic collection, especially since this documentary is 22 years old and M's fragrance of the same name is coming out at around the same time of this blu-ray release. Nope! I was wrong. The ONLY bonus is a trailer.
The VHS edition from 20 years ago even contained more bonuses - 2 extra performance videos from the Blond Ambition Show (I believe the full Like a Prayer and the full Hanky Panky).

Honestly, in this day and age when media is so easily accessible and dvd/blu-ray/record sales are dropping, media companies should be working their tails off to get us...

The best Rock Documentary out there of life on the road
The documentary came out in the early 90's and is still the #1 most successful documentary of all time. When it hit theaters no one had ever seen anything like it before. It was a back stage glimpse at what celebrity life is really like. Some believe this was at the height of Madonna's success when she was beyond big. Today no one has come close to the caliber she reached at that point. There was only her out there, whereas today there are so many and most are just marketed, packaged clones of what was already done.

Madonna is brazen, bold and maybe even loud mouthed. Is she playing it for the camera? In some sequences there is a definite heightened version shown on screen of what she wanted people to see. Other times she is completely oblivious to the camera's being there like for example when she's angry with her sound crew for not making sure that the sound and microphones were top notch.

This isn't just about celebrity, this also showed Madonna's...

Truth or Dare: True Madonna Fans Only
Unless you're a true Madonna fan, you may not have the patience to sit through this documentary of her life on the Blonde Ambition concert tour. But if you're interested in what it's like to be one of the biggest female pop artists on tour, you may want to rent this film.

The majority of the film is in black and white, while the concerts were shot in color. The title of the film is taken from a scene of "truth or dare" that Madonna plays with her entourage of dancers and backup singers in which she reveals a very personal feeling of hers that she originally refused to allow in the film. The director said that Madonna would have to kill him in order to cut that one scene... so the scene was left in.

I found it interesting to see what happens the moment Madonna steps off stage--what goes on between shows or even songs. When technical problems occur during the show, she makes it known (in a not-so-subtle way) to her technical directors.

You get a glimpse of...
