I will admit I laughed a few times during the movie. Sometimes when I was supposd to.

But I lauged the hardest at inappropriate times, like when Ingrid says "it's just around the corner" for the Nth time and someone in the audience shouted "We don't get the concept!!"

bellanoche and sexxydancer, you've got company. I LOVE GB and everything else Prince has ever done. Yes, I too like everything.

Is it worst than "SHOWGIRLS"? , nah... nothings worst than showgirls.

i'll see yer showgirls and raise ya can't stop the music.

Well, I LOVED showgirls. Am I ready for GB ?

My embarrassing GB story - I remember when this movie came out in 1990. I went the theater that was having the premier in NY, the Zeigfeld, and stood outside on the red carpet taking pictures of the stars as they arrived. When Prince got to the theater he went in so fast that I only got a picture of his butt, great pic though. Well, I was all excited to see the film the opening Friday. I took my then new girlfriend (now my wife) and my best friend. My girl was a new fan thanks to me, and my best friend was a huge U@ fan at the time. We would have constant debates about who was better, comparing lyrics and guitar styles. So you can imagine my shock and awe as we sat in that theater and witnessed one of the worst movies ever. My friend laughed his ass off at how bad the movie was and held it over me for years.

And yet, for some reason I feel the desire to pop GB in the DVD player and watch it.

This movie has a nice lil message behind it...and of course movies are built on the imaginary and/or illusion - fantasy if u will. My fantasy would've been for him to race to my office and pick me up from work and read me his sonnets under his lil bridge....uh, yeah. Haha. No, but he could pick me up and take me out for dinner and tell me how his day went. Haha!!!

It's just around the corner...the Blockbuster Video that is. Run and take that s*** back.

I've told this stroy before. When I hear anything about this movie this is what I remember:


I brought a friend of mine to this movie, he said it was so bad that he had to leave. I wanted to watch it for the music portions.

About half way through, he could not stand another second (actually I believe it was the quiet scene under the bridge), he stood straight up out of his seat, proclaimed to all 18 people in the theater that he was a movie reviewer and he wanted to share his review!

He paused just the right amount of time, and in complete silence farted very loudly then stormed out.

Till this day, I do not remember if the tears in my eyes were from laughing so hard, the smell or the movie.

naked women vs. Prince's prescence

I choose Showgirls

NDRU said:

It may be the worse movie of all-time!

setyrmindphree said:

It's true, and that's kind of an achievement. A great artist who happened to make what may be the worst movie of all time.

Please tell me what could possibly be worse.

I'll go find it tonight, and pop some popcorn.

OK - this is really weird, I know. I'm about to go to sleep, and I'm thinking back to my viewing of GB about 6 hours ago.

And you know what...I'm actually feeling a bit more fond towards it now..!

I know it sounds odd. Maybe the dreamlike surreal quality of it does have something there. I'm almost tempted to watch certain bits again before I return the disc.

Like the Tick, Tick, Bang, Bang performance...and Thieves in the Temple.

I keep thinking about that darned bridge.

I'm actually going to put the song "Graffiti Bridge" on right now, while I brush my teeth.

Prince has that effect sometimes - you hate it initially, but it grows on you without you even realising....

It's still a crap film though!

You suddenly felt very sleepy while viewong it didn't? But, you persevered.


That's why the SOTT DVD Concert Movie is his best movie. It's him doing what no one else can. The music performances in his movies are awesome. i almost fell off the top of a piano trying to imitate the "Girls & Boys" song.

SoulAlive said:

Eww, Ingrid gets on my last nerve.

DaveDare79 said:

Watch it 1 more time-it gets better!

NDRU said:

Showgirls is horrible. If I can't make it through a movie chock full of T & A, it's gotta be pretty damn bad.

Just think of it as a long form video for the album and you'll be alright

(Jesus Prince, what were u thinking)

ElCapitan said:

I wannna see this movie so bad! I hear about it ALL THE TIME, but I never get to see it.

FruitToAttractBears said:

Just think of Saved By The Bell with naked breasts.

Shit, I wish I would have thought of that idea!!!

ConsciousContact said:

I never watched Saved by the Bell either.

FruitToAttractBears said:

I'm in the Uk and I've seen that crap. Hopeless, u r

I lived in Baldwin Hills LA and I saw it at Magic Johnson's first theater. This theater is right by the hood called "the Jungle". Projects and gangstas for real. It was really pleasant even though he never really got raw like folx was expecting. When Tevin came on, mofos lost they mind. Pleasant trip although I think Prince is better w/ a director. The opening of Purple Rain is exhibit A. Lets Go Crazy defines this cat. Clothes, eyeliner, broads, booze, his boyz, fucked up family life, ...the realness.

Okay - how weird is this people?

I haven't stopped listening to the GRAFFITI BRIDGE album all weekend.

It is on right now in fact.

And I'm not even skipping any tracks each time (except Melody Cool).

I'm even enjoying the track 'Graffiti Bridge'.

What's happening to me!??

DaveDare79 said:

Ur a Prince addict and that's a good thing!

your going to hell for that one there...
