Oh Hell No Penitentiary was good Prince made the list twice

nursev said:

Me too!!!

Thank you for friends who remember to laugh. Prince DID make the list twice! What the h...??

I know I mean I actually like UTCM Awaits 's

dannyd5050 said:

I'll have some knots on my head I suppose. UTCM is a good flick for most folks who like Prince. (Cue music)Girls and Boys...

Punk! Brat! Gigolo! Cabbagehead! Just came on my Welcome to "the org" header.

nursev said:

Actually three times if you count Girl 6!

And if you notice, Penitentiary 2 didnt make the list. With the supporting cast of Half-Dead, Do-Dirty, Simple, and Seldom Seen, how could you go wrong? Awesome!

And Pootie Tang was the bomb...seriously.

20 years later, having seen it 6 times, still have no idea what it is about. (Admiting I have seen it 6 times likely says things about me I do not really want in a public forum.) I do remember tricking my best friend into watching it. When it starts and Prince goes with the supposed to be heavenly but more haunted "Are there really Angels" bit, my friend instantly goes into "IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME!" from the Kevin Costner film "Field of Dreams." Priceless. I had to stop the movie. Well, 20 years in, and my summary of the movie is this: "Prince owns some club, and Morris eats some peppers, and some weird spiritual chick gets hit by a jeep." Prince then sings "Still Would Stand All Time." All is well in whatever city they are in, and the movie is over.

For those of us fans still looking for Ex Wife #1:
If you are on a date, and want to see if the girl likes you, put Bridge in. If you want her to leave, she will. If she doesn't....the woman REALLY REALLY likes you, and maybe loves you.(Or she is really really really lacking something..)

ernestsewell said:

they were actually less harsh than other critics who reviewed this movie,lol.

I can't believe this topic is still going.
In all seriousness, I was at my MOST die-hard Prince famdom when this movie came out, and I (along with everyone in the theater) was like "what the hell."

This movie was BEYOND bad.

And to co-sign what someone else just said, Pootie Tang was the bomb.

Not bad? oooookay!

squirrelgrease said:

Morris (to Prince): So what is your MAIN problem?

It's hysterical to me that people have all but dismissed GB in this thread, and have turned to Mexican food as an alternative subject. Yes, GB is that bad.

ernestsewell said:

Yes GB is that BAD!!! At least I can sit through Under the Cherry Moon and laugh through it, with GB, there's still laughing but more cringing.

missfee said:

You know that scene where Ingrid Chavez gets plowed the fuck over by that jeep, Prince yelps feyly "noooo!!!!" and the Morris says that stupid , "Do U want to live forever?" (or something like that) line?

I crack up endlessly over that scene, it's sooooo poorly written and executed. It's just soooo bad it's actually charmingly hilarious.

TheVoid said:

The ambulance picks her up and just whisks her off into never never land or something. haha And since when is Melody Cool a nurse? She looked at her and knew she was dead? Pffft.

Morris says, "I have just one question." "What's that?" "How do you want to die?" Ohhhhh. Whatever, queen.

ernestsewell said:

Come on Ernest, Robin Power was HOTT. I know I wanted to tap that!

txlaw said:

No she wasn't. She was gross, and just looked trashy. She's got horse face. It's girls like her than make me glad I'm gay.

ernestsewell said:

Actually, I thought Tiki's invite was cool What's the matter? Oh the invite wasn't for you

When the theater laughs at a woman getting hit by a Jeep, you know something is drastically wrong!

nursev said:

Get off my jock little girl. No one said anything about being jealous. Don't get mad because no one thinks GB "is not that bad".

I could cook all of you under the table, believe me.

ernestsewell said:

I smell a hater

nursev said:

That's your upper lip.

Wanna see her vagina?

That movie left a WHOLE LOT to be desired. Trying to be a '90s version of "Purple Rain". It just didn't work.

Prince was a different cat by the time he did this anyway.

yes, with the power to write & direct a movie when he had no business doing so!
