   I hate Madonna. There, I said it. It is hatred. If it’s not La Isla Bonita or Like a Prayer, I do not give a sheeeot.

   Justin Timberlake, though I love him most especially when I run, is kind of a whore and will take any project that comes his way.

   That’s my explaination.

   Inner-city public schools are woefully underfunded. Duh. Don’t you listen to NPR?

   I’m going to have to agree with the inner-city public schools assessment.

   uh, JT has BANGS in this film video.

   The Miley Cyrus version of this is MUCH better (and no I’m not Joking!!)

   Zermanator — Could be, could very well be.

   Wifey — I like Madonna, but really only pre-I’m-into-Kaballah-and-I-take-myself-too-seriously and I-have-a-British-accent-even-though-I’m-from-Detroit Madonna. And Like a Prayer is her best song. Hands down. I still love Justin though. Even though he’s wearing a cravat.

   Sir — I do listen to NPR. It puts me back to sleep when my alarm goes off in the morning. Every day, without fail.

   Ron — Fair enough

   tiff — Uh, that scares me.

   Ok remember the movie Independence Day? That was pretty cool, right? But in “4 Minutes” there is a much bigger issue and it is that Timbaland needs to catch the LIRR to Ronkonkoma to escape the disruption in the space-time continuum that is evidently about to begin if Madonna and Justin don’t commence to dancing like they’ve never danced before.

   The physical world is already starting to disintegrate, as Madonna, also affected by the high price of gas, has to push her car into the drive. Unfortunately she was Timbaland’s ride to the train station, so the problems just continue to build. Also Madonna is not a very accomplished parker of cars as she plows right into a lovely family’s dining room as they are enjoying some fine soup, unaware of the chaos that is overtaking the world, as well as the lace-up boots that walk right over their table. As if that weren’t enough, a black film starts to collapse upon them and envelope the scene, not unlike what happened in “The Fog”.

   In the next room, she barges in on a young couple making out and ready to get it on. They are so into each other they don’t realize that Justin Timberlake and Madonna have commandeered their bathroom to do a last-minute check on their hair and makeup. Nor do they realize their faces are melting away as the guy slips his ladyfriend the tongue.
   Justin doesn’t know where the bed is, but it’s of little importance as Madonna says, “fool, we got to get out the window”.

   Dancing over and through several parked cars, the duo attempts to find one that they can quickly jump-start to see if they can, in fact, pick up Timbaland. It’s clear, though, that there’s no way they can even get the cars out of their parking places and they abandon this plan.

   Madonna has to get to the local CVS to get some Sunsilk shampoo. They’re out of stock so the pair jump onto the checkout lanes to show CVS who is boss. Madonna: always challenging the 12 items or less rule. Then she needs to stop by the office to make some copies, but I’ not sure her outfit is covered by the company’s casual Friday dress code. She ducks into the restroom, checking that her hair is in place and begins to see JT in the mirror, as a reflection of herself, thereby anointing him as the next pop mega-star, made in her image. She tests his allegiance by removing her shirt and he follows suit by taking off his vest. The ceremony is complete. Also Madonna is wearing hand braces because she has carpal tunnel syndrome from all the Vogueing back in the day.

   You can’t really get your groove on while wearing so many clothes, so Madge and JT need to remove some additional layers to really bust it down and give it one last college try to save the world before their 4 minutes is up. You can tell the situation is reaching critical levels, though, as the couple fluctuates between less clothing and more, indicating that they are struggling with their current selves and the selves from just a moment before. Madonna knows this is serious and she also knows the only way she has a chance to save the world is to get down on the floor and do some dancing on her knees, as if to beg the world to regain order. The situation only seems to worsen as the black fog creeps in and Timbaland returns to remind them as if to say “Uh, hello? 4 minutes people!” As the scene ends we see the team come together as Justin’s ribcage becomes exposed, possibly an apology for flashing the world Janet Jackson’s nipple. It is almost a foreshadowing that their efforts are not successful and to begin again, JT will become the new Earth’s Adam, offering a rib to create new life.

   I think they realize that by making a song together they are basically hastening the beginning of Armageddon.

    I completely second Caryn’s brilliance. A+!

    You know, I think the most disturbing thing about this video for me - more disturbing than the flesh melting away bit, even - is Madge’s flesh-colored bodysuit and how it matches the color of her hair. She looks like a life-sized bottle of champagne, but I’m not interested in drinking. That champagne probably tastes like unwashed yoga mats.

    Kevin — You say that like it’s a bad thing.

    lengli — Worst champagne ever.

    Dark matter is surely to blame.
