PrintableWonderU said: OldFriends4Sale said: The Purple Rain era:
What can you tell us about the overall vibe of Prince and the whole band on, the night you debuted the Purple Rain tracks at First Ave in Minneapolis? What do you remember of that day before the show and that night after this legendary performance? How nervous do you remember Wendy being before her first gig with the band that night? We were so well rehearsed that any opening night jitters melted away after the first song was played. I think Wendy was more excited than nervous. Tell us about your experience the day that Purple Rain premiered at Hollywood's Mann's Chinese Theater in California. What was going through your head seeing yourself on the big screen? The whole thing was so surreal that day that the memory of it still seems like a dream. Seeing oneself on the big screen for the first time is also a dream come true. Of course, you hope that your complexion is looking OK on a close up. 
Dr Fink w/Taja Sevelle Aren't all these quotes from Wendy & Lisa's Myspace page the Girl Bros Network interview with Dr Fink??? It's an interview with Dr Fink, but I believe it was by someone else ??? | |

(64) INT. STAIRWELL, VANITY'S MOTEL -- MORNING
She enters the LOBBY, closes the door behind her. She turns -- another CARNATION is on the stairwell. She's intrigued, glances up the stairs -- there's another one, and yet another further up. She's confused, but grabs them, disappears up the stairs. HALLWAY as she comes to a halt outside her room, picking up carnations along the way. She opens her door, cuts inside. (65) INT. VANIITY'S ROOM -- MORNING She goes into the bathroom, fills the sink with water, arranges the flowers within. She smiles radiantly -- they look beautiful. Suddenly something seizes her thoughts. She opens her bureau drawer quickly, pulls out the yellow pages, leafs through it hurriedly, We READ: Parking, Passport, Paving...then Pawnbrokers. She stops, runs her finger down the page, then hunts quickly through her drawer. Her eyes dance mischievously when she pulls out her gold chain. She places it on her bureau, hurries to her clothes rack. Suddenly, a quick KNOCK at the door-- MAN(O.S.) Miss V.? She looks around the corner -- a flower delivery MAN stands in the hallway, holding a bouquet of roses-- VANITY Yes...? MAN Delivery. VANITY (surprised) Come in ... He cuts inside, and is followed by another MAN, holding a bouquet of daisies-- VANITY Hey -- wait a minute. What's going on? The Men leave the room-- MAN Downstairs. She hurries to the window, looks out-- (66) EXT. STREET -- DAY -- VANITY'S POV-- Morris and Jerome standing by the curb, their eyes fastened excitedly on her window, leaning against a flower truck. We catch a glimpse of a Man bringing her a dozen chrysanthemums-- MORRIS Good morning, dahling. (67) EXT. VANITY'S WINDOW AND STREET -- DAY (INTERCUT) VANITY You're crazy! -- What are you doing? MORRIS (excited) Come down -- come down. VANITY I can't -- I've got things to do. MORRIS C'mon, ten minutes. I want to show you something- She shakes her head-- VANITY I'm sorry, but thanks for the flowers. You're really crazy. She disappears from the window. They stand expectantly a long time. Finally Jerome looks at Morris-- JEROME Well...what do you think? Morris is staring intently at the window -- he purses his lips sensualy-- MORRIS Chili sauce. Just then Vanity steps outside, looks stunning in her tight, black pants and boots. Her eyes dance vivaciously, a red sash is tied around her waste. Morris gives Jerome his sexy, half- lidded, pouty-lip look-- MORRIS Oh, Lord... | |

(68) INT. CLUB (1ST AVE. ST. BAR.) -- DAY
CU--Clock. We SEE 11:25 Prince cuts through the back entrance, walks onto the floor. Lisa and Wendy are onstage PLAYING a SONG we immediately recognize as the one they had given Prince to listen to. The DRUM RIFF is provided by the Linn Machine (a synthesized drum unit). Wendy plays guitar, her back to Prince. Lisa, at the keyboards, spots him and stops-- WENDY What's wrong? Lisa points to Prince. Wendy immediately rips into the guitar solo of "G-Spot." She stops suddenly-- WENDY Is that better? Do you like that? He ignores her-- PRINCE Where is everybody? LISA You're late -- they left. PRINCE So what are you doing here? Lisa immediately launches into the opening bars of "Let's Get Crazy"-- LISA (imitating Prince) But I'm here to tell you that there's something else -- our music--. The Girls bust up -- he glares at them-- PRINCE Can't you guys get off it? Can't you just leave it alone? Wendy meets his glare with one of her own... WENDY Yeah -- we'll get off it. She turns, snaps off the Linn Machine angrily, plunging the club into silence. | |

(69) INT. REHEARSAL HALL --DAY
The Time is JAMMING like MAD, deep in the heart of "Sex Shooter." Brenda and Susan move furiously to the beat, trying their best to get it right. They are watched by ... ...Morris, Vanity and Jerome standing off to the side. Morris has a contented look on his face, even though his girls are screwing up. Vanity's eyes are wide with excitement MORRIS As you can see, we need someone with your special qualities. | |

(70) INT. PRINCE'S ANTECHAMBER AND BEDROOM -- NIGHT
CU--Clock. We See: 8:15. Prince sits, on his bed, staring at the clock, seemingly lost in thoucht. He gets up, rummages through his coat pockets, pulls out Lisa's and Wendy's tape. He snaps it into the player, settles back. MUSIC fills the room. He listens intently a moment, his face placid. He closes his eyes, tries to relax ... Suddenly a DOOR SLAMS in the far reaches of the house. Harsh FOOTSTEPS echo through the upstairs hallway. Prince remains still, his eyes closed... Then another deathly DOOR SLAM! GLASS dissolves in its frame and trickles to the floor like icicles. Resentment surges in him like a tornado. He rises purposefully, turns the MUSIC up... ...And then his door SMASHES open and his Mother LUNGES into the room in a PANIC. She flings herself onto his bed as his Father streaks in and WHACKS! WHACKS! WHACKS! at her with a strap, SCREAMING at her with an ominous growl of rage-- FATHER You ain't got no business leaving here! All your sneaking around -- you're just a sinner! You're nothing but a low life sinner! The Mother throws herself at him drunkenly, starts slapping, scratching at his face-- MOTHER Shut up! You don't care about me! Leave me alone! Prince claws desperately at his Father's back-- FATHER Don't I keep the heat on? Isn't there food in the refrigerator? MOTHER (crying) I don't like it here. You never talk to me! I'm always alone! Prince drags his Father away-- PRINCE Dad, please! FATHER (shouting) What's the matter with this house? Isn't it nice and warm here?! The Mother stands on the bed SHRIEKING-- MOTHER You're crazy! FATHER Shut up! MOTHER. Asshole! FATHER Shut up! MOTHER (triumphantly) Motherfucker!! The Father lunges, drags Prince along the floor, WHACKS! the Mother in the face. She topples in a heap to the bed. He's over her now, breathing fire, flailing about savagely-- FATHER Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! PRINCE (desperately) Dad! He lunges, drop KICKS his Father with everything he's got! His Father SMASHES backwards against the wall, slides to his buttocks on the floor. He sits there dully, exhausted...spent. Prince crawls up along the side of the bed. His Mother buries her head in the pillow, choking back sobs-- MOTHER I'm just trapped here... His Father's eyes well with tears. He leans close to her, speaks softly-- FATHER You always got a roof overhead... MOTHER You don't let me have any fun... His Father sighs wearily, pulls himself to his feet. He moves to the door-- FATHER I could make you happy. Just believe in me... MOTHER You never... FATHER I would die for you. He leaves the room, closes the door behind him. | |

AHHHHH!!!!! PURPLE RAIN WAS SO GOODDDDD!!!!! 
OH MY GODDDDD!!!!! I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEDDDDD THIS MOVIE SOOOOO MUCHHHHH!!!!! THEY WERE GETTING DOWN ON THAT FIRST AVENUE STAGE OMG MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME THEY LITERALLY HAD ME ROLLIN ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING  HE REALLYYYYY MADE THE MOVIE AND WAS PERFECT FOR THE FILM AND HIS ACTING WASNT BAD EITHER
and then there was Prince and Appollina  AWWWWW THEIR RELEATIONSHIP WAS SO CUTE!!!!! I LIKED THE WAY SHE LOOKED AT HIM IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE OF COURSE CAUSE PRINCE IS SEXY! lol WERE THEY DATING AT THIS TIME??? CAUSE I THINK THEY HAD REALLY GOOD CHEMISTRY IN THE MOVIE TOGETHER ALTHOUGH HE DID DESERVE A GOOD ASS KICKING FOR THAT LAKE MINNATONKA JOKE lol
Ok now lets move on to the more serious notes. There were some things that I did not like about this movie. I did not like the way that women were being protroyed in this film. Many of the women in this film were being beaten, trashed, cursed at, disrespected, and abused and as a woman, I found that a little bit unsettling. I mean I dont know about you but its never ok for a man to hit a woman EVER. And I believe that a man doesnt really love you if hes beating you all the time which I felt was the case for poor Apples -and also the way The Kids mother was being treated. Also, I didnt like The Kids character in the film. He was very violent and possessive of Appollina and then they go out and to have sex. So to me they were treating to say that a woman is not human and she deserves no respect and all they are good for is being play things. But another thing I loved when I saw the very beginning, I really liked their outfits , hair and clothes they were wearing at the time. Im really into fashion and I just thought that was cool you know? I mean EVERYBODY was looking all decked out and dressed nice with makeup and hair done all crazy man I loved it.  | |

Another thing the performances were awesome but I think The Time was better than Prince in my opinion. lol But Princes performances were really good though. Also he STILL looked SEXXXYYY in his Computer Blue outfit! BUT HE LOOKED HOT DURING THE ENTIRE FILM!!!!! Also, I really like Wendy and Lisas character in the film.
But now I can see why Prince is so popular and why this movie was so big.  Man the 80s was something else back then. Really great and classic film.  Oh and I just watched this movie for the first time just to let you guys know.  | |

This is still my favorite movie of all-times. I'm just still keeping hope alive that those alternate/deleted scenes will see that light sooner than later. | |

this scene is almost incestuous
PRINCE stares at the door a moment, tears welling in his eyes. His Mother is motionless, whimpering softly. A scent of liquor permeates the air. He moves toward her, reaches out tentatively... Suddenly she jumps up, starts pacing franticaily-- MOTHER It's nice here. It's a nice house. Nothing wrong. (a beat) It's a good family. Believe me, I know. Nothing wrong here. (a beat) Your father is okay. He's a good man. You could learn somthing. She catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror, stops-- MOTHER My, my! Don't you think I have a good figure? Your Father did. She sits in front of the mirror, studies her face, her eyes...her breasts-- MOTHER I was beautiful when your Dad met me. I was out-a-sight! She giggles, starts applying makeup-- MOTHER I looked just like a movie star. The minute he saw me singing, I knew just what he wanted. She fixes him with a conspiratorial look, whispers-- MOTHER He wanted to get into my panties. She makes funny, "jazzy" eyes at him, then stops suddenly, staring. His face, mouth, eyes...a sudden stirring in her loins. Her lips part, she moistens them unconsciously... She turns from the mirror and stares at him -- his look connects with her groin. She rises suddenly, walks slowly toward the bed, sits facing him-- MOTHER You look so pretty. Just like me, honey. You coulda been a girl. She outlines the mole on his cheek with a makeup pencil, then draws one on herself. She takes her earring off, and puts it on his ear. They are face to face -- identical-- MOTHER So pretty... She looks at him drunkenly. He tries to hold it in, but can't. A tear, hot and hard as a bullet flows down his cheek. She puts her index finger in front of his face, moves it back and forth hypnotically. Suddenly she pulls her hand away, stretches it to the ceiling like an escaping bird. He swallows, tries to smile -- she leans close -- MOTHER (secretly) I have to go now, see some friends. Don't tell your father, okay? She gets up, leaves the room-- MOTHER Bye, skipper...bye. | |

(71) EXT. PRINCE'S HOUSE -- NIGHT (LATER) Vanity climbs over a fence, moves through some bushes, emerges along side Prince's house. She has an excited, ravenous look on her face. She hurries to the casement window, climbs into the basement. (72) INT. PRINCE'S BEDROObt -- NIGHT She drops down into the basement, turns excitedly, leaps into Prince's arms-- VANITY I missed you! Missed you! Missed you! She hugs him tight, showers him with kisses, topples them both to the bed. Laughing, hugging, kissing -- fast and furious. Suddenly she jumps up like a panther, fluffs her hair wildly in the mirror, fixes him with a wanton look. His eyes devour her-- PRINCE Come here. Where were you? She moistens her lips, walks lasciviously toward the bed, sits facing him. She laughs suddenly, pushes him back...and they're at each other again - - faces two inches apart; touching, whispering, kissing, hands searching -- shutting out the rocm, shutting out the world... She jumps up suddenly. She can't be contained! She practically levitates-- VANITY I have a big surprise for you. She rushes to the coal chute, climbs halfway through. Prince, puzzled, cracks up watching her ass and legs dangling. She drops back into the room, holding a large PACKAGE. His eyes widen. She struts to the bed, lays it down majestically before him-- VANITY (sings) Da...da..! PRINCE What is it? VANITY Open it. He starts peeling the tape off, careful not to rip the paper. Vanity's bursting with excitement though, and demolishes it in a flash! He laughs, opens the lid -- stares in shock-- PRINCE Oh, no... (happy) Oh, no! He pulls out a gleaming new GUITAR, and we immediately recognize it as the one they saw in the window. He's deliriously happy, and speechless-- PRINCE How'd you do it? She shouts with delight, attacks him again, pushing the guitar aside. Fast, furious kisses and he responds in kind. They're twisted in a heap on the bed. After a moment they come up for air, stare at each other playfully. Something flashes across his mind-- PRINCE Here... Her eyes widen. He takes off his Mother's earring, fastens it to her ear. Eyes dancing, she jumps up, studies it closely, in the mirror-- 
VANITY I love it! She twists around, kneels beside him, showers him with bites and kisses. Suddenly she stops-- VANITY I'm going to join Morris' group. His face drops, shocked-- PRINCE What? She backs away from him, stands, strikes a defensive stance-- VANITY I'm going to join Morris' group.
He LUNGES savagely before he knows it! His hand lashes out, SMASHES her in the face. She falls back, CRASHES into the mirror. She slips dully to the floor, tries desperately to brace herself on a chair-- He's horrified-- PRINCE I'm sorry! Oh, baby, I'm sorry! Are you alright? He helps her up, she turns away from him- - VANITY Just...leave me alone. His heart staggers in his chest-- PRINCE Please...it's just... (a beat) I don't want you around this at all. I just don't want you in my life this way. You don't have to prove anything to me or anybody else. (a beat) Vanity...? Don't I make you happy? Don.t you like the way we are? (another thought) Do you know Morris? Do you know what he's about? He doesn't care about you. She twists viciously-- VANITY Jealous..?! She rushes into the antechamber, climbs through the coal chute, disappears into the night. DISSOLVE TO: [Edited 5/24/10 8:37am] | |
