Well I disagree honestly, it looks amazing.

I honestly LOVE the simplicity of the judas cover, I thought you were doing the whole "Lol, 4Texture" joke

the ear-condom, the lipstick-gun, the metaphor, and the culturally reimagined setting of the biblical story. it was the first video she's was directing, right? genius.

i'm no expert it religion, but i guess it refers to the judas kiss: it's a kiss with which judas betrayed jesus. now, in gaga's interpretation, mary magdalene is in focus, meaning that she knew that she had to betray jesus in order for him to save humanity. from this perspective, the lipstick-gun symbolizes mary magdalene's kiss, her own judas kiss, if you will: she puts the kiss of betrayal on judas' lips (lipstick), thus betrays jesus; then, in the following sequence, you can see that judas kisses jesus with lipstick on his lips (betrayal), which is the actual judas kiss. 

the point of the video and that of gaga's message is to highlight mary magdalene's emotionally hard situation: she had to choose between her love (jesus) and the higher/ultimate good (saving humanity). she chose the latter, which meant that she had to betray jesus.
