The Video Music Awards (VMA) REALLY are about music videos!
And since I don’t spend my time watching music videos I had no real idea what of a FREAK lady gaga is or the fact that Taylor Swift’s video is better than Beyonce’s Single Ladies. The video that went crazy on youtube and that made people think that skipping around in their own black leotards trying to copy Beyonce is actually entertaining. WAKE UP!! you are not Beyonce. Stick to doing the dance in your room by yourself without a video camera propped up on a desk…like me!!
Even though it seems that Beyonce’s video is liked more by the country,
I still would not have gotten out of my seat and stormed the stage,
stolen the mic out of Taylor Swift’s hand
and announced to the country on live television that Beyonce should have won.
I also would not have shaven a bunch of different squiggly lines all over my head but I guess me and Kanye like to live our lives a little differently.
Speaking of living our lives differently, I can definitely say that I have never once had the problem of confusing my life with Lady Gaga’s.
The VMA’s might as well have been advertised as a scary movie. Between Lady Gaga’s costume changes and not knowing when Kanye West was going to pop up on stage again I couldn’t stop covering my eyes with my sheets. Every time I would uncover my eyes there would be Lady Gaga with red laced underwear over her head or a bird’s nest strangling her face.
Good thing it was a Sunday night and my mom had nothing better to do than “bond” with me over a lovely night of television watching.
Mom: ever heard of one flew over the coo coo’s nest.
Me: I think you mean the cuckoo’s nest...but I get where you’re going with this. Hilarious!
Oh and did I say good job Russell Brand!! Oh wait I take that back because you made me uncomfortable every second you were up on stage.
Mom: who gave that transvestite a microphone?
Me: he is not a transvestite….tight pants and heels are in for guys. (WAIT!! Why am I sticking up for him? Take off those leggings and put on some REAL pants!)
But other than that I really did enjoy the show, especially the tribute to Michael Jackson. But I have to say...I think it is time we lay him to rest.
Speaking of laying to rest.
Inglorious Basterds was (insert an elevated synonym for GREAT here)!!!!!
And yes Tarantino meant to spell basterds wrong….or he is just an idiot. An idiot that is really good at making a movie that makes you want to squeal, laugh and join the army all at the same time.
I would love to be interrogated by Brad Pitt, as long as I can keep my scalp afterwards. Yep there was scalping involved (insert squeal here).
Inglorious Basterds was a definite good movie pick.
I really thought I was the master at looking at movie trailers and knowing what to expect from a movie.
And then Taking Woodstock comes along…and I am defeated.
I’m not sure if it was the naked hippies “acting”, (one would have to be very talented to act with hairy parts flinging everywhere), or Liev Schreiber as a transvestite, but I walked out.
You know when people talk about how they were born in the wrong time just because they love The Beatles? Well I know I was not supposed to be alive during Woodstock because I would have walked out on that mess while yelling hugs NOT drugs and passing out Hanes underwear and t-shirts so they would cover up (you get a lot in a package for the price).
R.I.P. Vogue Evolution: I really am going to miss you running around on stage and doing the (really uncomfortable looking) splits. (I hope he got his you-know-what removed).
