I hear you Cheech… But I think the obvious referencing of pop culture classics is quite deliberate (hence the use of the “Pussy Wagon” from Kill Bill), the delivery of the dialogue, like you said is deliberate too.. I just don’t think they pull it off too well, could be because they’re not actors… they also reference Thelma and Louise with their down-with-men attitudes, with Honey B killing her boyfriend (this is a continuation from the Paparazzi film clip where Gags kills her HOT bf too) and driving off into the dessert hands held aloft as in the iconic final scene of the movie… It’s all very much on purpose. (as is the constant real and fake product placement – how very Warhol) Gaga is all about the “Pop Icon” and by referencing all the majors (and obviously the ones she most respects) she is paying tribute to them and highlighting what it is she wants to become.. I think… now I need to go back to doing some actual work and stop disecting pop film clips hahaha…

EEEE! Guitar music? Alex…is that you? Hahaha!

Man, I’ve been listening to this radio station that plays stuff from when was in College (That’s Canberran for year 11 and 12 or ‘high school’ people). Every song that comes on I’m like, “YEAH! This is great!” THEN I realise that I’m one of those losers that listens to shit radio stations with hits from yesteryear….that shit was from 15 years ago. Shoot me in the face!*

*Don’t shoot me in the face

Not enough money to pay for the directors she borrowed all her ideas from, apparently.

The car scene is a Tarantino trademark (even though he didn’t have anything to do with the Gaga’s clip). Tarantino does car scenes in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Dusk til Dawn, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Sin City and Death Proof.

The script makes it seem like they’re acting is terrible – but it’s Blacksploitation styled (very Tarantino). Check out Black Belt Jones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CTKLxOh39Y).

And the David LaChapelle (who also didn’t have anything to do with Gaga’s clip) directed No Doubt clip for ‘It’s My Life’ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubvV498pyIM) has similar themes and style. Even the mass murder/execution story – did No Doubt’s clip get banned? Not that I can tell.

I still like the clip though. It’s more interesting than the Miley Swift Spear’s clips going around…
