OOOH boy. Gaga is lighting the interweb on fire, from CNN falsely reporting that they "banned" the video (That's not a good idea MTV banning videos when you don't even show videos???)
Anyways, onto the video. "Telephone" is directed by the very great, very cool Jonas Akerlund (see: Cardigans 'My Favourite Game') with that in mind, I expected this video to be somwehat violent. If you're a fan of camp, cult, and all thats in between this video is for you.
Suprisingly Beyonce's appearance as "honey B" is a rather surprising turn, her stilted acting is kind of a plus given the context of the video. Gaga's acting is also stilted as well, perhaps on purpose?
There are more cameos in this video than you can shake an Jersey Shore fist pump at, but it's all more like "Can you spot Tyrese?"
Running at almost ten minutes, you really have to schedule yourself to watch this video. The mini movie follows a Thelma/Louise plot which is always great, "Us against the world" kind of deal---a personal favorite theme of mine.
Oh, a must, look at this Monster's review of 'Telephone'
