Why, if you din't mind me asking.

Harlepolis said:

No, I don't mind.

- Bad acting.
- Silly, rediculouos plot.
- Prince preening, mugging and posing too much.
- Several REALLY embarassing, cringe worthy scenes (bathtub, bats, Girls & boys, Bela Lugosi eyes, Jerome and P's "embrace", death scene - complete with blood trickling from the corner of prince's mouth)
- No real footage of Prince doing what he does best: perform.
- Choppy directing.
- I have a hard time envisioning Christopher Tracy as a heterosexual gigolo.
- Wine sipping with a raised pinky.
- Overblown and goofily melodramatic.

Been a (long) while since I've seen it. Maybe I could try and watch it again to refresh my memory, but if I noticed all of this stuff at the age 18, imagine what I could come up with now.

No offense, but as a filmmaker, Prince is one heck of a musician. Sign of the Times is the movie I watch, and even there the seques, voiceovers and skits are goofy.

Boy, did you reply on this motherfucker or what??? Wheeooo

Hey thats aight, guess everybody are entitled to their opinions. Cuz I 4 one, think its waaayyy betta than PR.

Like most many favourite parts, but, in no order of preference, "only confused men wear loafers", "Pizzaman", "Damn, couldn't you buy some clothes", "Tell him it's Chinese." The Anotherloverholenyohead part, driving along the coast, cool. The opening sequence. "I bet he's your boyfriend" Any scene with Steve in it cos he's cool. "That's French, I understand", "Ooooh Mary, the name Drips from one's Lips", Alexa de Paris...and Sometines It Snows in April, this mainly becasue it reduced the five strapping young rugby playing Weilshmen watching the movie to tears...oh and "He's a little possesive, don't you think?"...I think that'sabout all.

The opening credit is THE BEST

And how come no1 mentioned 'THE WRECKA STORE'?? Honestly, I don't what the hell is a wrecka store. I was laughing cuz the way they laughed and made fun of her was FUNNY as hell.

And the whole of 'He's a lil' possesive' part was of da hook.

Here's you future, framed in gold

'Sigh' I :lovel: that movie

Live4lovesexy does actually mention the "Wreckastow" in an earlier post above, Harlepolis...




.

I like the scene when Christopher and Tricky get thrown out of Mary Sharon's party. When Christopher is like "I'm never gonna treat people like this when my ship comes in!" And when he asked the security guard how much he makes and then he says Well couldn't you afford to buy some cologne?

the end titles...

I would like to see this movie again!

Parade is one of my favorite albums.

Girls and Boys...

Vous avez danse si dur, je pourrais sentir votre

parfum!

May bad then,,,Live4lovesexy

I dont know if he shouts out ...PISS, or ...PIPS(cuz he's eating fruit), but that bit!






Besides, U know it takes a while 4 me 2 do my hair.

My favorite is when he's on the phone and Mary asks him what he's thinking about and he moves the bread into his cheek and says "ssthhhex".

I have to go with Herb on this one though. I liked that movie when I was 15 or so, but it is really is bad. All of the things he said about the cliches' are totally true. All the Americana, James Dean (bad boys with big Lincoln convertibles, from the wrong side of the tracks etc...) crap. It's like a Disney movie mixed with a 50's rebel movie. Cookie cutter plot and all. It's Princes' poor attemt at a genera that he had no business touching, but the music kicks ass. Parade is one of P's coolest records, hands down.

Those of you who think Princes' kissing sequences are sexy... Let's just say I pity the people with whom you have intercourse.

Who's Billy Eckstein? I thought he said "Brian Epstein" of Beatles fame.

I like the part where the alien rips through his chest and kills the whole crew. The best movie ever!!

when the movie ended...i'm 1 of the few here who didn;t particularly enjoy it...

herbthe4 said:

All very true.

Herb...watch it again. I didn't like it at first either, but now it makes me laugh.

I also agree w/ all you said. It's a smarmy flick. Maybe that's part of it's charm.

Then again, maybe you shouldn't watch it again as I have a skewed opinion. I just like to watch Prince, good or bad.

Sigh...

Prince decides to go to Mary's house with Jerome. He brings a ladder and figures the window that the open window is Mary's. He climbs up the ladder saying Pizzaman... Proceeds to make love to Mary who Says she just took a sleeping Pill. Hears Isaac Sharon quickly escapes down the ladder. Suddenly sees Mary Sharon at another window and together he and Jerome realize it was Mary's Mom Prince did...Jerome taunts Prince saying"You Did It To Mary's Mom!" Prince and Jerome are sitting on the Bed talking about Mary and they are comparing skin tones Prince gives his funny expression and sucks in his cheeks Jerome is huffing and Puffing and giving his sunken in face whereas he get's flustered and Says to Prince who is basically mouthing the words"Honey Don't you Know I Will Slap your Eyes Out Of Your Face." Another scene is when Prince is in the bathtub and has his Parade Hat on and a Rubber Duckie and Dunks it going Fascists! And Don't forget Jerome who declares "I'm my Own Man Just like Liberace." Who we all Know was Gay. Sorry that this will be hard to read,but my tabs are way off and not working correctly. Of course also, when Prince goes to Mrs Wellington's house and sees Isaac's car there and says"Isaac Stroke her a Little for me and put a Pillow Under her Ass She Like That!" This all makes for some of the Best Comedy routines. I know the Audience was laughing like mad at these parts and so was I. But of course the Best part was simply Prince.
