"Ghosttown"
Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at 6:04PM Today's watch is directed by Jonas Åkerlund of "Ray of Light" fame who also helmed a couple of movies in the Aughts.
Madonna gets her Stevie on in this apocalyptic moody new video for "Ghosttown" which is her best single in forevs. Oscar nominated Empire patriarch Terrence Howard co-stars because it takes two to tango. You will be relieved to know that after the apocalypse, able cinematographers and stylists are still gainfully employed.
Finally, I can't beat this quip from Louis Virtel at HitFix
The apocalypse is, apparently, a lot like Madonna's recent Billboard fight with the "Empire" soundtrack. (The "Empire" soundtrack beat Madonna's "Rebel Heart" for the #1 spot on the Billboard 200.) Seriously, it's just Madonna and Terrence Howard after the world ends. The only person alive in the video to appreciate that irony is some little boy, who better be gay.

Repopulate the earth with an all bi-racial citizenry? Sounds good to me!
The first song in years that makes me irritated that radio won't play Madonna anymore.
...walking off in the distance we see a figure with blonde hair, black roots and torn lace. it's madonna, she's hysterical. i slap her across the face and say "you get ahold of yourself right now, young lady. you are a winner, baby, you are a survivor. is sean dead? oh fuck, don't tell me that sean is dead.."
that's my most recent nuclear holocaust fantasy....and my favourite to date
par -- I LOVE YOU
This video is so gorgeous... she looks INCREDIBLE!!! So nice to see that 30 years into her career later she can still produce such beautiful art.
Quite boring actually. Where's Cookie? I can't believe she doesn't survive the apocalypse.
