We were the ones that passed out the Purple Glow Sticks to everyone

I posted it in the events here - too bad we didn't link up before hand - but as you say, the Rio is definitely big Prince fans so there will be another opportunity I'm sure.

Oh awesome! Were you the one wearing the Prince jacket? I was in a pink starfish and coffee t-shirt. You guys seemed cool, and the purple glowsticks were BRILLIANT for purple rain. Was so happy to see everyone with their arms up.

I can't take any credit - the idea was my bestie who isn't a Prince fan but went all out because I am Brilliant idea though - wish it was as packed as the previous showing, however the audience was still SUPERB
Hmm, don't recall a prince jacket - I was the one wearing this shirt:

Thank you - I do too. Sometimes you have an idea in your head but the end product...not so much, you know? Just glad it turned out the way I planned (well, back-up planned since they didn't have a purple shirt )

Aww U're so creative, really good job! I am for bed, so, so many tears right now. Have a good Sunday sweets.

I've always loved this movie. Tried to watch it recently for the first time since his passing and couldn't do the end. I used to chuckle at how melodramatic it was but now, when he says "We had fun, didn't we?" I just started bawling. It might have been too soon for me.

ForeverPaisley,

Where did you get to see it? What state? I got to see in NYC recently on the big screen. I also thought it was the 4th but I'm seeing a lot of posts for today so I thought I had gotten my dates wrong. I actually changed the date from the 4th today to the 2nd. I'm confused myself.

It played at The Rio theatre in Vancouver, BC. The Rio has some serious Prince fans on staff, and they've shown Purple Rain 4x since Prince's passing, SOTT once, and on Thursday (day before Canada Day so everyone had it off), it was a PR & UTCM double feature.

Just a blast.

ForeverPaisley - I was with 3 friends, I think we were probably the giggliest in the threatre (sitting near the back). We should have tried to meet up. Next time.

That's truly awesome that The Rio is holding it down in Vancouver! I thought that there would be more UTCM screenings worldwide particularly since yesterday was the anniversary.

Renfield, I totally understand. We did have fun and can continue to do so because he left so much for us!

That part is utterly gutwrenching now.

I think it helps that the events coordinator of The Rio is definitely a huge Prince fan. Wouldn't be surprised if she was part of this Org, or the Prince Army/Purple Army in the very least Hope they play another couple double features! I also thought many more places would be showing UTCM this weekend! It really is one that needs to be seen in the theatre!

Funny, I had planned to watch UTCM tonight without knowing it was the anniversary.
It's just a fun movie where you don't need to think too hard. Just sit back and smile. How can anyone resist watching him running around in all those crazy outfits? He was so cool.

I just saw it for the first time, a few weeks ago. That movie is funnier than hell! My two favorite parts are when Christopher Tracy sneaks up into what he thinks is Mary's room and the "I ain't scared of shit" with the bats,
