Apollonia' first scene with Prince, where theyre in the mall, and he goes "Gimme that, that on your leg' and she whines "Givit back" Picks up when he goes, "u can't have it u gave it to me, so its mine and not urs anymore!"



You took my line.

I can't STAND that part. "So you gave it to me, it's not yours anymore"

That is not clever OR cute OR intelligent.

barf





But it's so P. disbelief

Its so a daft way 2 pick up a chick, unless u r a narcissistic fop who is obsessed with themself. Crappy maybe, but very funny. When Prince uses the husky voice like "You in the business", and gets all catty with Apollonia it sounds like a couple of spoilt brats.

Bad acting or not, its streets ahead of Under the cherry Moon and Graffiti Bridge, the acting quality DECLINES as opposes to improving.
So

Purple Rain, Great Music, Bad acting
UTCM , Great Music, Worse acting and Black and white
Graffiti Bridge, Mediocre music and ham acting biggrin

Well, you must admit that (compared to the rest of the musicians in the cast) Morris acquitted himself fairly well. And I'd say, for example, that Lisa was better than Wendy.

no way! wendy was better than lisa...but still, nobody can smoke a cancer stick and blow their bangs outta their face like lisa. mushy

now that i think about it...jill jones was fuckin horrid. the way she says "hey, wait! i've got something for you..." makes me cringe.


BUT...Jill actually talked like that at that time. To quote Faye Dunnaway in "Mommie Dearest": "I'm Not Acting"! (Sob sob sniffle) lol
My name is Prince evilking and I want your money

the Dumpster Lady, although she can't be fully at fault, i think the editing was crappy.

Prince is next in line with this statement "Where you Motherfucker?" He couldn't have sounded more like an amature when he said that. I wonder how many takes it took for him to say it in a corny way like he did. And those kissing scenes... sad lord knows poor apples had to keep wiping saliva off her cheek bones...

I hate to say it, but his acting in Graffiti Bridge was way better than it was in Purple Rain, ironically, Purple Rain was way better than Graffiti Bridge.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

no.



so what exactly is a "B movie" anyway? confuse lol


A "B" movie is a film made on a shoestring budget without any "A-List" performers - hence the term "B-Movie". They often go straight to video and almost never have any artisitc ambition at all.

They (hopefully) turn a profit based solely on the low cost it takes to produce the movie. Think all of the "Jaws" and "Jurrasic Park" type rip offs you see in the video store and have never heard of.

Well since everyone in the movie is playing themselves, Names and all (Except for "The Kid"). I'd have to say they all were bad. What made Purple Rain good was the music, And the fact that Prince didn't have complete control over the making of this film. Because once he got that control, Crap like "Under The Cherry Moon and Graffiti Bridge came out.

lol Good description, but also to ad, a lot of them may have fey themes, such as bad taste, horror, snuff, porn as well as ripping off legit themes, such as a version of Columbus in 1992, and Titanic in 1997.
Sometimes to a B movie may use a washed up a list star to get back on. Eg virtually all of Joan Crawfords post Mildred Pierce movies were B movies. However this is not to say some of them weren't great. Johnny Guitar (1954) is very watchable, esp the bitchy neo lesbian themes in it. And the best B grade movie of all time, Whatever happened to Baby Jane with Bette Davis.
