Commentary by Prince would be nice. pray Dear God, please don't let Prince figure out someway to fuck this up, please! Amen. pray


Well, the best way to keep P from screwing it up would be if he did no commentary. P is at his best when he ain't talkin'!

vashti must be one of those Prince fans in lala land, you know the types, the ones that think everything he releases is a masterpiece. Those are the one you meet at concerts and they tell you how great the come album is or how awesome newpowersoul was, you can't even gage opinions, their lips are so pressed up on Prince's ass they can't even speak, okay utcm is a good film, now if someone else released that, you would see it for the crap it is, but because you probaly think Prince is cute in it its a great film, maybe you can by a double pack with utcm and gigli



Even if that was the case, so the fuck what? Am I that important that you care so much about what I like? There's no rules to being a Prince fan, we like what we like, and dislike what we dislike. Who are you to get on my case because our tastes are different?

That's up to Universal. They were the ones who initially distributed SOTT to theaters, and they hold the home video distribution rights as well.

good point...maybe they forgot about it. I would think there would be more demand for SOTT than for GB, but maybe not.

If there is any truth to it, those that laid out a grip for the recent DVD-R bootlegs have to be feeling sick. All of Prince's films deserve t be on DVD. There is som much out there that is so much worse than Graffiti Bridge. UTCM is better than it gets credit for and SOTT and PR are classics.

I am also looking forward 2 these DVD's, but what I really wish Warner would do is release all of Prince's classic 70's & 80's albums as remastered versions. I am sure Purple Rain will get the treatmemt next year, but so should the others up to and including 'Lovesexy'.

Does anyone know anything about this possibly happening?

Again, WB has NO CONTROL over the Sign O The Times film. In 1987 Prince offered it to WB, but they refused to distribute it because of having suffered the effects of the "Cherry" bomb. Prince took it to MCA Universal, who in turn distributed it to theaters. Universal Home Video also distributed the VHS release, and they still retain home video rights. Prince needs to work with Universal to get this film out, but I doubt its high on their list of priorities right now.

There is no doubt that Prince still has TONS of footage in his vault from the Under The Cherry Moon movie. So why not all email NPGMC and ask them if Prince himself could ask another "young & qualified" director, to re-cut the movie into a better end?! I like the movie, and i do like the fun Prince's is making most of the time, but still the movie isn't all that great. If anyone else should than Prince should re-do the movie for a DVD release (just for the fans ofcourse..) that would be just fine! Just the way Bowie would have done it for his fans..
C'mon Prince, show some love! wink biggrin
And put up the B&W version, as wellas the Colour version on there too. Now that would be awesome.

a man can dream, can he?!



love the dvd bonus ideas DOROTHYPARK... and maybe include videos from parade as well -- "girls and boys," "mountains," anotherlover" etc

UNDER THE CHERRY MOON does not SUCK!!!

I know plenty of non-prince fans who love this movie!!!

My sister whose 4 years younger than me, and doesn't like Prince at all...
would sneak my VHS Copy away from my room and watch it over and over again, she was just a kid...but now she's 21 and still refers to UTCM as her favorite PRINCE MOVIE!!!

and doesn't care for 'Purple Rain' or 'Grafitti Bridge'.

Plus UTCM has ran on BET a few times and the kids at my work place, because I work with homeless youth...got a kick out of this movie, and thought PRINCE was cool in this movie...so it'll be great to see UTCM and Purple Rain on DVD!




AGREE... always viewed UTCM as a lighthearted Superfly-meets-Felini romp... not brilliant... just FUN.
