Prince wouldn't know what Orwellian meant if it came up and oversaw him in a totalitarian fashion. He might know what Blade Runner is, but that's about it. A horrible presumption, but one I'm willing to back up with a face to face discussion with Prince about Nineteen Eighty Four and all other things 'Orwellian'... should he choose to counter my assumption.

I agree whole heartedly that this vid was utter crap! I can't believe how many people are on here giving that shit props!!! You've GOT TO BE JOKING!!! PEOPLE has this distinct lack of recent video brilliance caused you all to go stupid!

The ChocBox video is a too-dark, nonsensical, Batman/Matrix ripoff that utterly wastes the talent of Q-tip (A Hip-Hop legend!).

What pisses me off most is here's another chance gone WASTED! Prince had a chance to enthrall new fans with his work which has been brilliant but then he puts out shite like this!

That press release does not change the fact that this was a horrible conceptual video that lacks originality and makes zero sense with the song. Somebody got green screen happy and forgot to listen to the song itself. Prince gave the go ahead on a bad idea and possibly wants to add a part 2??

I beg to differ, The message in the video is deep. Life is like a box of chocolates ...you never know what your gonna get. However, Prince has a box of surprises in store...

vid would have opened with a girl (the one from the Crimson & Clover vid) answering her front door. A delivery man gives her a package... after he gives it to her, he turns away and we can see its Q-Tip with a smirk on his face. When she opens it inside... its a box of chocolate with a card. The cover of the card is the MPLSound album cover. She opens it and it says, "A New Universe Awaits."

She taste a bit of chocolate and starts to trip out. She feels herself shooting through a hyperspace dimension with disco jelly fish flying all over the place. When she lands she finds herself in another universe wearing some slick clothes. The setting is identical to the current video. Across from her is Q-Tip in militaristic gear (think a Gramaton Cleric from the movie Equalibrium) and a platoon of droid troopers... this is CGI. On the blimp over head is Prince and he starts up, "I got a box...". Q-Tip (showing some actual menacing emotion) begins to approach the girl... she turns and leaps off the roof landing on the ground 20 stories down ala Matrix style... and the chase is on.

She drop kicks a guy riding a futuristic cycle off his bike... leaps on,.. puts on some shades and takes off. The shot would cut to Q-Tip on a bike following her. All the while, this blimp ominously is over head with Prince doing his thing. The lights of the streets would be dazzling and reflecting off their bikes as they go on a high speed chase. Their rear lights leaving trails around corners... over jumps... through intersections. The whole idea is to keep the energy high and the editing fast paced.

She tries to beat the traffic at one intersection but doesn't make it... so she leaps off into the air as her bike explodes behind. She lands and runs into the nearest building and its like some sort of trap hallway. She navigates over and under a bunch of laser lights during Q-Tips rap break. When she gets through it and runs through another door... she finds herself in a futuristic night club looking place. She looks around the room and she sees a bunch of those CGI droids from earlier.... and standing in the middle is Prince. He's dressed in an all white version of Q-Tips uniform with one of his white guitars strapped from his shoulder. Just as Q-Tip runs in behind her.. Prince starts singing his line, "So what's the deal..." He kinda 'hams' up the performance as she stands there in shock.

Then the whole room starts spinning from her perspective with the lights flashing, Q-Tip laughing at her... and Prince making the 'funk faces' rocking out the guitar getting closer and closer to her. (I'd have Prince do a guitar heavy remix for the scene). I'ld even throw in a shot or two of the droids dancing. She begins to get dazed and passes out as Prince reaches for her saying the last, "I got a box...."

She will wake up on her couch... out of breath... half the chocolates would be gone. Her doorbell would ring and when she stumbles to answer... its Prince and you can see a limo behind him parked in front of the house. "Did you get my box of chocolates?" And we see him walking in from the outside as the camera pans to see Q-Tip as the chauffeur. The limo pulls off and fades away into the other dimension.

To be continued....
