Well that blows GB out of the waters by a mile...did you come up with this off the top of your head?

And couldn't we have had some background on how the Kid ended up with JJ and why their relationship suddenly fizzled to the point where she had to drop her panties in the street?

ANYMORE

i just thought of something way off topic but funny as all hell ..


could u imagine if richard pryor played prince's father in purple rain

Everybody already took all the great answers, so I'd have just tied Prince's ass to a chair, told him to STFU and let y'all do y'all thing until he was needed on the set!

It took a lot to be even more chauvinistic than its prequel, but Graffiti Bridge succeeds.

I think everyone should have died in this movie.

When Aura died no one even jumped in the ambulance. Who gives a crap.

The whole lot of them get run over by a bus full of senior citizens, who gives a damn. We could have all shook hands on that one.

Although I didn't like the set of the movie, an unrealistic set does not destroy a film. It can even add a unique visual effect to a movie, and at times, Graffiti Bridge is gorgeous like the stage set of SOTT, if a bit sterile.


What Graffiti Bridge needed , to me, was this:



1). If Prince is going to be the protagonist, the movie going audience (not just new power butt puppet fans) need a reason to care about him. In Pixar's "Finding Nemo", we care about Nemo because of the major loss at the beginning of the movie. Losing Nemo would make it all the more tragic, and added an emotional element to the story line. In Graffiti Bridge, even though the movie starts off with voice dialogue to his 'father', we're never given anymore real substance to that story line. Nor are does it give the character any true motivation. It's like a dead idea. Completely superfluous. The audience needs a reason to care.

2). If Aura is suppose to be his divine Muse, yet she's getting drunk with Morriss and his camp friends, then try to at least explain why she's so confusing. Plus, convey to us how they could possible develope an attraction towards each other cause the onscreen romance is almost as unbelievable as Micheal Jackson kissing Lisa Marie at the MTV Music Awards--the audience doesn't believe it. In Purple Rain, Appolonia's instant attraction to Prince could have been due to any number of motivations--love at first sight, Avarice, loneliness..anything.... and it played well into the bleak desperate quality of the movie. In Graffiti Bridge, you just get this really boring love interest that likes to read terrible poetry. By the time she dies, you almost wish they'd done it in slow motion, and I don't know about you guys--but I laugh my ass off at that scene.

3) If "Still Would Stand All Time" has enough power to turn the hearts of 'thugs' like Morriss Day , then at least show him as more than a one dimensional character preceding the final scene. Cause when they finally do their little 'hug', every non-Prince fan in the audience will be scratching their heads--and certainly all the straight ones brave enough to continue through the movie after the Tick Tick Bang performance will not buy the emotional conversion. You can't show one dimensional characters in a movie and at the last scene, reveal a softer side to them...it's too late at that point.

4) The battle of the bands : lawd. I mean, if Prince is trying to keep his club, we NEED to know why it is so important to him. What does he gain to lose? What are his options? I mean, it's just not believable. And in a movie like this, suspension of disbelief is required, but there's a point where it becomes silly.

5) The musical performances: Open the movie with something fierce. For fucks sake, Fiddler on the Roof opened with more 'umph'. If you're trying to recapture an audience (the American pop audience has an attention span of no more than 2 or 3 years), then 'wow' them. They're not going to be 'wow' by the plot--that's for sure.

6) It's too obvious in the scenes with Prince and Ingrid that he think's he's really cute. Whatever your opinions on his looks, when somebody is trying to act cute, it's not cute....it's annoying. His little pouty faces, etc. etc. simply weren't pullled off well. It was obvious he was playing it up for the camera, and when you can tell the actor is aware of the camera, it ruins the scene.

7) The movie felt like a hot ghetto mess version of Guys and Dolls but without Sinatra or Brando's stage presence. I'm not sure how he could have improved on it as I don't take issue with the set, but it didn't work with the type of movie he was making.

8) Add tension to the script. Give the audience a reason to care. Not just about the characters but the overall script.

9) During Purple Rain, Prince was 'cool'. Everybody loved him. He was everywhere. By the time Graffiti Bridge was released, Prince was no longer 'in'. Again, the movie could have given his career a bump if it had just been interesting.
