Let a woman b a woman and a man b a man...

I answered this earlier but it never appeared? Org's been acting up a lot tonight.
Anyway- yes to first 4, at times, and NO I do not think he has ever hit a woman.

skywalker said:

Yes, he does!!

I don't really think so. I think the creepy Graffiti Bridge version of "The Kid" is closer to Prince, or at least the Prince that is presented to us.

One thing is for sure, in real life Appolonia could kick his lilly ass!

Imago said:

Seriously. That movie is so unrealistic. If for only that single reason. And then there's the fact that he has no job. And I kind of wondered why no one was impressed with Let's Go Crazy...I mean wtf???

Anyway, that's a whole other thread I'm not making tonight.

Protege said:

exactly.

If I was Morris (in real life) and I heard the kid doing that guitar solo, I'd be real nervous about getting cut by club owner. Reeeeeaaaaal nervous.

Imago said:

I'd quit!

Imago said:

Funnist thing is, Dez seemed to be the only one with a secure job there!

Protege said:

It was like some bizzaro Universe where a bunch of Flock of Seagulls lookalikes in the audience where unimpressed by Prince's obviously superior performance and musical skills, while at the same time tripping out on the damned "Oak Tree" dance.

so true




It's sad we know so much about his movies.

Imago said:

That's what I think. Every time I watch the movie (which, don't get me wrong, I adore), I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with these people. It's like a town of people with bad and creepy musical tastes. Plus there's the idea that like, every character is a caricature (sp? OMG usually I'm good at spelling...not tonight) of a personality. Weird...

Oh yeah. I just had to say. Even if the character was nothing like him, the clothes were.

The movie is worth it for the "Motherfuka! You long haired faggot!" line alone. Talk about dating a movie.

Imago said:

I have to mention - I was watching that thing like daily for - never mind, I'm not going to say how long - but anyway it was way too long. I think I was subconsciously trying to memorize everything that even went through their minds. I haven't managed to get to that point yet.

Protege said:

Purple Rain is the movie I skipped scenes with the least.


I cant' really sit through UTCM other than to appreciate the odd scenery and artsy fartsy nature of the film.

Graffiti Bridge--now that's like watching SAW III to me---I just can't do it.

Imago said:

I feel almost the same way about the movies.

I watch Purple Rain (usually) all the way through, but sometimes I skip through Morris' performances anyway, because I've memorized any lines that might be there anyway.

Under the Cherry Moon - ohhh my...I more like, skip to my favorite scenes and ignore the rest. Like...I like the part where Prince trips on the rug...I like the music...ummmmm.....I'm straining here. I can't help it. It's cool to watch on mute though! Or listen to in the other room.

Graffiti Bridge - I watched it once. Seriously.

I think the Prince movies are carefully scripted so that Prince gets to play the sort of hapless, vulnerable romantic underdog artist guy, while others--notably Morris Day--are saddled with the greed, the sexism, materialism--and the inept womanizing. Prince would never put himself in a scene where he "poses by the porsche" while his flunky goes to chat up some broad--which, ironically, is pretty much how he approached Cindy Crawford. Or how Morris Day's character refered to his ladies as a "number one" or a "number three," giving them rank and preference--something I'm willing to bet Prince does in real life.

Morris Day's character is Prince's most strenuously denied shadow self.

I convinced my friends to rent this on VHS (yeah, I'm just that old), and about half way through the movie, I was certain I would get my ass kicked.

Interesting thread

The most bank I ever made was during the brief time that I worked as a modernnaire.

Someone that used to work for Paisley Park back in the day said his character in Under the Cherry Moon is closer to his everyday personality.

YES, PRETTY MUCH.....
