ya, in poplife the book, Hill mentions that scene where the old black woman scares christopher and asks him where he's been. that was a pretty insulting scene for his own. Dude coulda been a good filmaker though, i'm sure, no one complains about sott.

Prince didn't direct SOTT.

he's listed as director with albert magnoli who I doubt really had much creative input.

I'd say that SOTT is much closer to Purple Rain in pacing than it is to Graffiti Bridge.

Meaning, pacing, story, sets, liveshots -- you see Magnoli's touch on both films. You see Prince's too, but I've never felt that Prince actually directed the film.

Off topic, I would love to hear what Magnoli would have done to change "Graffiti Bridge." I bet there would be some funny responses. Such as, "Come back after you've shredded the script." Or, "Don't make this movie." The shooting of the supposed live scenes were not believable -- as a fan, you hated lipsyncing and that was clearly what was going on. Made it impossible to get into the music. You believed that he was performing live in PR and SOTT. I just don't have anything at all positive to say about that movie

oh, sorry, i thought magnoli was one of p's managers. he had three italian managers they used to call spaghetti incorporated, i get all them fuckers mixed up. Prince went through a ton of people in his career.
