Oh, where to start with the comments? I am on sweet Gaga overload. I cannot recall a music video with more hype surrounding it -- I was hooked on the stills from the last month, not gonna lie. Our patience has been rewarded.
Comments:
- If this is an accurate representation of prison life, then I ought to start committing crimes.
- 1:09 - Gaga proves the multiple uses of duct tape.
- Cigarette glasses = Smokin' hot. Heh, puns.
- Gaga appeases her queer fan base with an epic make-out session with the resident stone cold butch hottie on the yard. So, there -- I am pleased as punch with her efforts thus far. And the song hasn't even started yet.
- Product placement: WOW. I shudder at the price advertisers would have paid for inclusion in this mini-movie. I laughed when the camera zoomed in on the Virgin Mobile cellphone twice. Just hits you over the head with that one.
- CAT FIGHT! CAT FIGHTTTTT!! WHITE TANK TOP!! QUEER-LOOKING WOMEN!! LOOP THIS SCCCENEEE!
- (I know, I am crass and low brow.)
- 3:18-4:23 - I couldn't hear the music over the sound of my lust. I apologize. In all seriousness, I find it awe-inducing how Gaga can still exude an attitude of complete dominance and control even when she's objectifying herself. It's like she's saying, "Take a real close look 'cause you ain't gettin' it." As I said, awe-inducing.
- Caution tape wardrobe -- Lady Gaga teaches us that "reuse" is as important as "recycle" and "reduce."
- Pussy Wagon?? Pussy Wagon. Sweet damn, Pussy Wagon.
- B-movie turn with the dialogue and the general plot is approved of here at Cute, Queer, Canadian. I mean, you remember the fuss I made with Bitch Slap, correct?
- After Beyonce's segment in the song, I started realizing this video is not about the music. Perhaps that was blatant from the start, but, it became far more noticeable at this point. I love the song... and yet it is the least important part of the video.
- Note to Self: Extras in Lady Gaga videos tend to die. Do NOT star in a Lady Gaga video.
- Lunch lady and glittery lads? Beyonce donning her military gear for the trillionth time? I feel there should be action figures made for this video...
- Revised Note: Dancers seem to survive the wrath of Gaga. Schedule dance lessons to start next week.
- Americana garb -- whenever I see it, I wonder what a Canadian version would look like and it makes me laugh. Every time.
- I quite like the Thelma and Louise end to this video. I'm a little curious about the archaic, full-bodied, Southern-ish dresses donned by Lady Gaga and Beyonce, but -- well, when viewed in the context of the rest of this piece, I am inclined to not give a hoot.
To recap: Mind blown. Will dedicate all clubbing nights to the might of Lady Gaga and Beyonce (though, I don't believe that was ever in question).
I dub this experience well worth the wait.
