Which is clearly me, la Gaga touching myself, wrapped in police tape in a medium to maximum security prison ... and that's intercut with pics of her planning her escape with the help of some really high-profile product placements. And I'm sorry but I find product placement of this kind stupid: the music itself is a product, the video is product placement. Product placement IN video is the next biggest thing, and I refuse to collude. ANYWAY.
The warden lets Gaga out while looking at a dating site that I'm not going to be promoting, and in the car park Gaga meets …
OMG! It's Beyoncé! Almost no one here was expecting that, right?! I will let someone else tell you about the rest, for I don't remember it clearly. Years of hairdye, etc.
Beyoncé and Gaga don't actually kiss in this minute, but they do share a twinkie. And as a spongy cake filled with cream, the sharing of such is almost certainly considered a sexual act in most communities, isn't it? They seem angry with each other, though mainly in the kind of way that can be resolved by setting off in a stupidly big car to to some unreasonably disproportional act or revenge.
Luckily, they're brought the right car.
It is a stupid muscle-truck.
They go VROOM, while pulling "acting" faces at each other.
Getting to wherever they're going, Gaga and Beyoncé put poison in the drink of a man we've never seen before and may never see again.
(Apart for the fact that he's a major movie/TV star, but that's not the point right now, he's mainly just soon dead, that's the main thing.) And we start to understand how this all came about.
So:
Lady Gaga was attending a school of culinary arts, while her friend, cheated on by a rotter needing a well of poison to drop his infidelity into, asked her for help.
But it wasn't just one infidelity, one cheating motherfucker (not my words, it was the family friendly Beyoncé, guvnor), but a bunch of them, and once they'd killed them all [see visual metaphor fig. i]
fig. i Then the director – and God knows no one cares who it is by now because they're too busy scraping bits of their jaws off the floor and bits of their brains off the ceiling and bits of their time back from the eternal clock-of-life to care – makes some vague references to Tarantino and Thelma and Louise and everyone nods and smiles and then either goes back and looks at the fun plot-based bit from four to eight minutes or the dumb underweary bit from one to four minutes anyway, depending on their sex.
Because really, you might as well just release two videos, right?
