The Worst, Most Painful To Watch Clip on the Net Today
Be forewarned, this clip is more painful to watch than a clip reel of every cruel scene in the films of Todd Solondz, Ulrich Seidl, Michael Haenke, Catherine Breillat, Fassbinder, Gaspar Noe. I would rather watch the rape scene in Boys Don’t Cry on loop for 24 hours than have to watch this one more time. I would rather watch the eyeball snipping scene in Hostel for a week. I would rather watch every episode of American Idol, every Jack Black movie, the 700 club on a daily basis, and old episodes of the show Pinwheel a hundred times before I clicked play on this piece of depressing, what the fuck happened to the world, soul-crushing clip.
I knew that having Iggy Pop perform a handful of Madonna hits at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in lieu of her highness, who didn’t want to perform - was a completely horrible idea. But nothing could have compared me for how gut-wrenchingly painful this clip is.
I can’t describe what’s worse - seeing Madonna giving off-handed looks like “WTF?” as she stares at this messy, horrible cover? Seeing genius guitarist Mike Watt of the Minutemen staring at Iggy in pain, with a “Just two more minutes and it’ll all be over” expression on his face? How Chelsea Queen excited Iggy gets when he finally sees Madonna? The painful interaction where even Madge can’t think of a halfway decent compliment for the FUCKING STOOGES!!!!????? Though I can’t say I blame her for that. What do you say after that? Still…
Oh I’m just burning up over it - NO PUN INTENDED!!!
