Lady Gaga's "Desperately Seeking Susan"? →[More:]It occurred to me that if Lady Gaga is the new Madonna, she needs her own Desperately Seeking Susan. That is: a starring film role so well tailored to her musical persona that acting skills are unnecessary.

Maybe an absurdist SF comedy of some kind. Like Tank Girl. Only not sucky.

As much as I love Gaga, I don't see her being much of an actress. I could totally see her as The Acid Queen in a remake of Tommy, though.

Something like this. Or Maria in Metropolis. Something with lots of costumes where she just has to exist.

Some kind of fabulous but mute assassin?

I think she should be the host of a documentary film on Gaga

If we go into animation the possibilities are endless.

Actually an insane 70s-style drug-filled SF animated feature with a score by DEVO would be maybe perfect.

Oh wait, insane 70s-style drug-filled SF animation feature based on the Bioshock games.

Gaga can be Queen Columbia.

Neither she nor Madonna have much of a voice.

She could be in the new Mad Max.

If there's any justice, she'll have a cameo in the Freddie Mercury biopic starring Borat.
