I just saw Graffiti Bridge

Ay yall, i just saw the Graffiti Bridge movie Saturday (rented it from Blockbuster) and it seemed alittle diffrent from how i expected it 2 be....but anyway, I thought that the movie was sorta strange-but was alittle interesting... (really didn't like it much at first) but actually, i kind of liked it-especially some of the musical performances and the scenes were o.k., and i thought Morris was hilarious-but of course his acting was terrible.
Actually i thought the movie was alright1! 2 be honest- i mean it didn't seem as bad as the way summa you guys described it.

I mean it wasn't totally crappy lol ...but i still think P shoulda let someone else direct that one and ..whatnot

..so what were you guys favorite scenes in GB?

Maybe one day I'll try to watch it again when the fear is gone. I can't even touch the cover. It's like toxic or something. sick

lol hah! well, it wasn't that bad - was it?

but nah, i mean i didn't really like the fact that he directed and wrote the movie or whateva -but i actually kinda did like summada scenes n' stuff. it was alright-but i wouldnt say it was a great film,
Honestly, i didn't really judge the plot or his acting, much or whatnot in this movie- I jus liked looking at him and his smile, his perforamnces, and summada stuff in it had me crackin' up. lol

Yeah, that was my same reaction the first time I watched it, but I really liked Prince's look back then and chucked it up as 90 or so minutes of eye candy, but I noticed it got real good after I got a little smashed.

the album is awful hence the film is. with a better soundtrack the film wouldn't matter. e.g purple rain, crappy acting but great performances and songs made it a hit. if you're going to do a "musical" film, the music has to be good. a lesson i'm sure he's learned. plus no one was around to tell him this, so his ego got the better of him.

Without a doubt one of the worst films ever. There's really no defending it.

Okay, so yeah-the film wasn't really good...so what scenes did you kinda like or think were funny?


I kinda like the scene when Morris and Jerome were at the bridge, i actually like the performance of Theives in the Temple-it looked like P was kinda trying to imitate M.J's dancing 4 a minute! lol ..oh yeah, and i thought the way prince's facial expression looked after he was challenging Morris at his little band meeting thingy..OMG-when those guys let go of P, he had this funny looking face-that looked so gay OMG and then he ran out the door. falloff..there are sommore crack ups in this movie-but i just can't name em all now..

Noone SEES Graffiti Bridge. One endures it. You tell yourself I gotta watch this because P put his heart in it and I gotta support it. Then by the millionth time the phrase "it's just around the corner" is uttered or you see that fake ass bridge or you witness the unbelieveably bad "Elephants and Flowers" scene, you can't help but go "Hmmmm, should I have been a Michael Jackson fan instead."

(Then of course you turn on Court TV and see what's up with MJ now and you breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that, of course, you chose the right pop star to hitch your wagon to).

Question Of U was great, And the scene with Ora and Jerome are at the Bridge with Morris holding his stuff, that was a funny scene.
Prince looked the best in the "Battle Me" scene.
