The lost Graffiti Bridge videos...

Why oh why did they omit releasing the "Latest Fashion" video on the Graffiti Bridge DVD as a special extra? The dance off between Prince and the Time is hawt!!! Seeing Morris and the gang breaking into the Oak tree and Chili Sauce dance steps was priceless. P and the Time singing the song the way they do together certainly made more sense after viewing the video. nod

On another related note, what the heck are these modern dance folks in the black leotards from the edited "Question of U" segment supposed to represent? I can't make out the symbols that appear on their shirts. Anyone with a cleaner copy able to figure it out?



Finally, P looks hilarious in the "Can't Stop This Feeling I Got" video clip. It looks like a bollywood musical number the way he is dancing around. Haven't seen a dog make a cameo in a P video before lol

from what i remember of the original script those symbols r music notes, the question of u scene (i THINK) was when arua was revealing him a song or something, and he would call on the diff. notes and they'd make the sound. something like that
Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
...And i'm gonna be groovy in it!

Angel
Tsk, tsk, naughty boy.

She motions for him to follow her. She climbs the ladder that
is situated in the middle of the room. We cut to the interior
of the Kid's club and see the Angel climbing thru the trap
door on the stage. The Kid's living quarters, it seems, is
directly below the stage. The Angel laughs and dances out of
the club into the back near the white wall. The Kid follows
like a baby at Christmas. So shocked he is to find several
people standing around a black baby grand piano. The people
are dressed in blue body suits. Their heads and faces are
covered by a strange hood. Everyone of them have the name of
a chord written across their bodies. M-7th, dB, Major 9th etc.
The Angel smiles and beckons the Kid to take his place at the
piano. He rubs his eyes again. He thinks he's dreaming. He
may be. The Kid sits at the piano. She runs to the stairs by
the wall and paints over the lyric to make room for more. The
Kid looks to the chords standing before him. The are
motionless. He strikes a chord on the piano. One of the
chords in front of him begins to dance. He strikes another
chord. Another member of the group begins to dance. The
Angel is applauding in delight. The Kid understands and
begins to play a beautifully uplifting piece designed to get
all the chords dancing at once. They do so. The Angel
starts to dance. The Kid smiles at her. Experimenting, he
plays one strange chord and the another. The chords begin to
crash into each other.

The Kid likes this. His piano playing begins to take on a
discordant quality. Each chord stranger than the one
previous. The dancing chords are really in disarray now.
The Angel looks upset. She knows the Kid is enjoying being
in charge of the chaos and she teasingly begins to cry. The
Kid looks to her. The piano stops. All the dancing chords
fall to the ground.

The Kid
What is the answer?

The Angel runs to the paint brush and begins writing. She
writes:

Now what is the answer to the question of you?

She motions for the Kid to resume playing. He does so and sings
as well. Adding a line --

The Kid (singing)
Now what is the answer to the question of you
Now what must I look for, Now what must I do?

The Angel is painting every word. She adds a line --

Which way do I turn when I'm feeling lost?

She turns to him.

The Kid (singing)
If I sell my soul, Now what will it cost?

Unbeknownst to the Kid, who is deep into the song, the dancing
chords have begun the most beautiful ballet ever seen. Their
bodies entwine and caress each other. They come apart, spin
wildly only to return to each other's caress. The Kid sings as
the sound of orchestrated strings fill the morining air.

The Kid
Must I become naked no image at all
Must I remain upright, or get down and crawl.

The Angel, pleased with what she's done, dances down the
street with the chords following. As they pass Melody Cool's
club, Melody peeks her head out of the window. She then looks
at the Kid whose immersed in music. She shakes her head.
It's obvious she cares about the Kid. As he completes his
song silence brings his eyes to the wall. It is filled with
lyrics to a new song entitled "The Question Of You."

Why wasn't the extended video of 'Thieves in the Temple' not included on the dvd? The version that's on the dvd now is already in the movie itself...

jazzz.

Wow, this could get kinda rough given how much some people really hate this flick. My view on Prince's third and final motion picture to date is that it is a flawed attempt to create a sequal of sorts to Purple Rain. You have the "Kid" and his NPG now running a club called "Glam Slam" which Billy left to him when he died. The Kid's dad is indeed dead and mom is now institutionalized (boy and I thought things ended well at the conclusion of Purple Rain.) Apples is not mentioned at all but Morris and the Time are the local power which threatens to take over all of the local independent clubs (including the Kid's.) Basically an angel enters into the Kid's life and shows him the way to ultimately overcome his demons and in doing so leads to a resolution of the Morris/Kid feud. BTW, the gal who had a crush on the Kid during Purple Rain (the server who worked at Billy's club) ended up getting the Kid after all. At least they are a couple at the beginning of this movie eek
Wonder how Apples lost out to Jill Jones? confuse

Oh yeah, some scary lady who thinks she can rap is Morris' lady in the film lol

I'm sure someone else will fill in some of the gaps that I did not address in my summary of the film.

Yeah A lot of people hate this movie. I don't think they are too fond of Under the Cherry Moon either. I just take them all for what they are.....an opportunity to watch Prince for an hour and whatever at a time mainly and I don't trip on the rest of it.
"Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done.

yea thats pretty much it. i mean, this movie cant REALLY be described, u have to find out how it is urself by watching it. when i finally bought the movie i saw an entirely diff. movie than what most orgers were describing.
it has its good points and it has its bad points: in short, under the cherry moon was better. seriously tho just buy the movie, and if u dont like it atleast u got something to add to ur collection! lol
Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
