How much do I love psycho!Justin? Two things about his performance. Either 1) boy's a brilliant actor and no one ever knew it, or 2) boy is seriously obsessive.

I go with number two, with a little of number one mixed in for fun.

He's got an expressive face, doesn't he? If I were a movie exec, I'd have his agent on speed dial. I'd at least give him a reading. Then I'd line up some killer directors (brain's blank at the moment), and watch the green roll in.

Yes, la Timberlake killed me.

Love the part at the end where he and the chick are walking through the hall. The one bit where he smiles a little, and turns just enough to see the other girl out of the corner of his eye. And you know what he's thinking, and he's so *gleefully* evil about it.

And on another level, this is so, so what he's wanted to shout in plain English to the world, isn't it? If there's any doubt left after this video...I just don't see how there could be. Someone at the JJB uploaded an animation of the picture he kicks - nice Wade-lookalike in that photo with the Brit-lookalike.

One plus one seems to equal Britney cheated with Wade, which is what a lot of people suspected, and I think Justin's just confirmed.

Not crazy about the Matrix-y bits, except when he jumps up on the counter and he's walking along using the ceiling for balance. Justin, I wanna have your little psycho!babies. Also, the effect with the weird ankle bend just *hurts* to watch, 'cause it makes me think of his little(broken)foot! Eeek.

Anyway, as glitchy and weird as the effect is, it does add to the overall freakiness of the thing, and adds its own bit of warped reality that makes the shadowing scene (he's following so closely behind her but she doesn't see/hear him?) make sense. His reality in the video is as warped as what we see. This is one *seriously* obsessed mofo.

Yikes. Can you spell r-e-s-t-r-a-i-n-i-n-g-o-r-d-e-r?

Tell Timbaland not to act next time. Don't know if he really fell flat, or if I was so blown away by Justin's believability that Timba suffered in comparison. If I had been the director I'd have told him to just look out of the side window while he sang. Maybe keep his face blank, or try to look bored. Or to look the way he did when he first motioned for the girl to leave the car. Yessss.

Eeee, time for work, though I'd rather watch CMAR about a million more times. I hope they remember this one when the VMAs roll around next year. ;-)

I agree with your choice (#2 with #1 thrown in for fun.) He does come off as being a bit obsessive, doesn't he? What with the video...his whole shoe complex...etc.

I think JC would be a little obsessive, as well. "Selfish" comes to mind, with the willing to do anything to prove his love to someone. Then you have Justin, who's willing to do anything to keep someone...

So damn hot. guh.

I agree! Except I don't mind the "Matrix-stuff" - it fit well in the mood (creepy!) of the video. However, this video proves what I 've been suspecting. Justin keeps claiming that he doesn't want to talk about Britney and their relationship - and he probably doesn't on a very private level. But he's just being coy, I believe. He knows it's good publicity and wants to keep the fire burning, so to speak. With the insinuations in this video it shows that he wants us to speculate. I love Justin but this annoys me. I wish he could be straight about it or just really not talk about it. I fear there may be a backlash otherwise. And no one will care about the music.
But the video is absolutely terrific! He really makes a convincing stalker. :D
