Xanadu....ah, yes. The flim sucked, the soundtrack was good. How could this be flimed, at the time disco just sucked. Olivia good try, but it just didn't work for me. Graffiti Bridge will always be my #2 or #3 personal favorite Prince flim.

Xanadu kicks the ass of Graffiti Bridge, throws it on a gas grill, barbecues it, drowns it in hot sauce and sucks the meat off its bones, then throws the remains in a blender and makes a nice, refreshing crappucino smoothie out of 'em.

Later in the day, Xanadu takes a dump but does not use the good toilet paper because Graffiti Bridge is not worth being wiped from the bootie of Xanadu with anything better than 1-ply Scott toilet tissue.

XANADU RAWKS!!!



That is all.

Xanadu was better. Sorry, I love Prince and all, but Xanadu hurts much less. I'm not even sure Xanadu's soundtrack is as bad.

I like the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack. I like it a lot, actually. Every now and then I'll rock it on my stereo or on my headphones, and a couple of songs from it are all-time favorite Prince songs of mine.

HOWEVER!!!


I freakin' LOVE the Xanadu soundtrack. I have every last word to every last song memorized, and listening to it makes me a happier person for a while.

Both movies were pretty horrible but I would have to say "Graffiti Bridge" was worse. Another horrible movie was the one that Vanilla Ice had.

Olivia Newton John rocks!!!
"Suddenly, the winds are in motion and I-ha-ha-ha-hi....." That duet with Cliff Richards is the shiznitt!!!!!

vanilla ice had a movie?!

Anxiety said:

I agree. "Magic," "I'm Alive" and "Xanadu"

Is Xanadu like a gay thing?

Anxiety's description of his undying love of the movie sounded sooooo gay.

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. But VH1 was doing a segment on Rock and Roll films a while back. While I was watching it for Purple Rain I did catch a glimpse of Vanilla Ice's film, Cool As Ice

well, if you say it's gay, it's GOTTA be gay!

Xanadu has rollerskates. Thus, it wins.

NouveauDance said:

Xanadu has rollerskates therefore it's gay.

Olivia Newton John & E.L.O., the perfect pair.

Anxiety said:

I have to agree with this statement 100% I mean the whole thing is done on roller skates...it's just not done like that anymore.

and besides Paris thinks it's HOT

NouveauDance said:

I didn't even see this post yes. exactly!!!!

AsianBomb777 said:

No not really...just a weird thing...like all his weird things. Let's just say that it's not one of those movies that they play during Show tune night...at least not that I have heard...

not that I really go to show tune nights.

I was so in love with Olivia Newton John in Xanadu I can't even tell you who else was in it. She was my first major crush when I was like 10 or 11. So for that reason alone Xanadu shits all over Graffiti Bridge.

OK, some of these posts are scaring me.

Are you guys saying that Xanadu is a good movie?
Or , are you saying , compared to GB it's a good movie?

AsianBoi777 said:

Compared to GB, "Howard the Duck" is a good movie.

Xanadu in my opinion didn't stink as bad as Vanilla Ice's movie and P. However, if I was to rate Xanadu based on its gayness, I would definitely give it too snaps and a twist.

Hotlegs said:

Oh, God--Vanilla Ice. Now that MOVIE was sooooo horrible that I blocked it out of my mind--I literally don't remember ANYTHING about it, that's how traumatic it was.

Unfortunately, I powers of selective memory didn't work for Graffiti Bridge.

Xanadu is far better. Xanadu didn't take itself so seriously, and the cheesy glowing beams of light rock!

Tom said:

There's no question of that. Hell you can't go wrong with Oliva Newton John and ELO on the same soundtrack. It was unfortunate that the plot to the movie was campy.

finnaly i have found someone that is an ONJ & prince fan

marto said:

I like her, too. I remember the day when you were either an Olivia guy or a Stevie Nicks guy.

Magic is great, though I love alot of her songs.

OfficerShockadelica said:

OMG, are you guys being sarcastic or am I so old that most people now are too young to remember the Vanilla Ice movie? I was in friggin' college when 'Cool As Ice' was in theaters! It was a terrible time for hip-hop what with Vanilla Ice, Hammer, Young MC and all those other pop rappers having huge success. Even Milli Vanilli were rapping on their first single That was when I switched to alternative rock.
