What if Prince was in the new Hendrix movie How cool would it have been to see Prince in some role in the new Hendrix move that I am sure Andre 3000 is going to ruin? | |

The movie is already ruined becaused it's unathorized and doesn't have the rights to any original music,so it's not a true bio pic. AKA PDEXTER | |

I saw this Movie. Andre 3000 did a great job, and even though they didn't get any of hendrix's music authorized to use for the film, I didn't feel it missed anything. Great Story on Jimi , his free spiritedness, and some of the people who saw the Magic in him and encouraged him to go for it.. I esecially like scene with the Beatles in it... Jimi was a Beast.. Oh again, I forgot it was Andre 3000 after the 1st few minutes.. He did an Awesome job. | |

What? jeez...guess I am too grounded in reality to have the sensibility for such importance of something so seemingly trivial - even in Prince internet world | |

Wait, weren't you the one getting on another Orger's case for starting a thread speculating about Prince's cash flow? And then you speculate on what if Prince had been in some dipshit movie? Come on. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

If you dont see the difference - or not man enough to admit it, I cant help you and I will - unlike you - refrain from using a derogatory term to describe your ignorance and/or lack of intestinal fortitude. With that, I will say that I got on no "Orger's case" nor did I attack anyone as you just did. | |

"Man enough"? "Intestinal fortitude"? Those are some weird things to type, man. I'll set you straight by pasting what you wrote on the thread about Prince losing money. "Rebeljuice said: His recent "tours" have been pretyy irregular at best and the venues have not exactly been large enough to generate a profit AND pay Prince a large fee. His last two albums didnt exactly sell too well, although he probably took the lions share of the sales. His protege output, whilst being pretty good music-wise of late, has not generated much in the way of sales. I dont know what kind of royalty payments he gets from his past work, but it cant be that much because you cant find most of it and there is nothing directing traffic to the places where you can buy it. He isnt on radio or TV very much anymore so there's little royalty payments coming from airplay. He has his PP and employee overheads to consider and probably has band members on retainers. His lawyers are constantly in motion "cleaning up" the internet and I bet they are not cheap. So is Prince Inc. currently running at a loss? Im sure he has a nice cushion of wealth to fall back on and isnt remotely close to running in the red. Apparently he is worth $250m but how much of that is sitting in the bank as opposed to being invested and not easily accessible? I just cant see how his enterprise is making any profit at the moment unless he has other ventures not related to music such as property investments and shares in other businesses etc which are bringing in an income. I cannot see anything big in Prince's music business that is bringing in the dough at the moment so maybe there is something in the pipeline to rectify that like a full scale tour or, dare I say it, the mother of all remaster series." And then YOU said: "A real understanding of the business would invalidate the size of the venues and the regularity of the shows as factors for an artist of Prince's stature (if there is such a thing). In fact, all of that uninformed speculation is the classic example of the neuroses that makes this site a test of patience and a drag on IQ points most of the time: people talking what they dont know about Prince as if they do know." Hmm. Sounds to me like you jumped on another Orger for their so-called "uninformed speculation" and then turned around and started a thread based on something even less than speculation. Looks like the shoe fits, if you're man enough to wear it. I have no problem with speculation. Even with goofy threads. This is a discussion site, so people can discuss what they like. I just don't like seeing Orgers start good discussions (e.g. talking about Prince's finances) and then get flamed with bullshit by people who turn around and start sillier threads. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

A real understanding of Prince's artistic endeavours would invalidate the very notion of Prince portraying another musical legend. In fact, all of that uninformed speculation is the classic example of the neuroses that makes this site a test of patience and a drag on IQ points most of the time: people talking what they dont know about Prince as if they do know. |

Back to the topic at hand... Does anyone know why the Hendrix Estate wouldn't authorize the music for this movie? Seems odd to make a movie about Hendrix without playing a single song of his? I can't imagine Ray or Walk the Line without Ray Charles' or Johnny Cash's music.
