the album version is kinda dull tbh plus i dont think its produced that well either. better to hear it stretched out for 19-20 mins you get to bathe in its majesty that way Uh huh. Well not everyone's tryna take a bath every time they wanna hear that sweet sweet guitar crying out. | |

Purple rain in under 10 mins is like a circumcised version You need it long and uncut |

And I could argue they're not essential simply because they're movies and he's a music-man, not Martin Scorsese. If Tarantino had a rock band it wouldn't be essential compared to his films, as a counterpoint. [Edited 12/4/22 20:35pm] . Essential or not, it’s actually shocking to me to hear a fan say they’ve been avoiding watching those movies. . It took me a long time to get into Under the Cherry Moon. I think bought into the party-line sentiment that it was “bad.” That’s such a problems with fandom of any kind. So much groupthink. It’s a very funny movie with some good performances, including by Prince. I’ve even managed to convince some non-fans to watch it and some got some enjoyment out it just as a romantic comedy. . Graffiti Bridge, it’s a bad movie. But again, it’s 90 minutes of Prince trying to wear too many hats, tackling an ambitious project that he desperately needed help with — all that said, as a fan, why not just watch it? There are much worse ways to spend 90 minutes when watching a crappy movie. I’ve been informed that my opinion is worth less than those expressed by others here. |

I haven’t read it. Deliberate choice. It wasn’t finished, so I never had the slightest interest in it. . Edit: I think this is an interesting topic of discussion. But I also think the parameters of what “essential” means are difficult to define. [Edited 12/8/22 6:46am] I’ve been informed that my opinion is worth less than those expressed by others here. |

I have some unopened books, still in plastic. I’ve yet to watch some blue ray stuff, listen to some of the super deluxe content I have, and a few dvds of live performances. I’m not sure what the hold up is. I think after being a fan for nearly 40 years, I’ve become P complacent. When I’m in the mood I’ll put something on shuffle. Maybe I’m holding onto those because they’ll always be “new”. |
