24454, Purple Rain II......
Posted by C_Jon, Tue Apr-25-00 07:26 PM
After reading in the diary that d wanted to pase the halls like in purple rain, a surge of an intersting thought/idea came to mind. I think D should:
A)remake Purple Rain in its entirety
B) Make a film similar to Purple Rain, but in his own story
C) Make a movie with The Artist ( perferably where he is the son and THe Artist is his father)


I know kind of corny what do you guys think?

But wouldn't it be cool?

Granted that I am a Purple Rain fanatic and know every line and every song to every scene in the movie. I think it would be so cool. I mean they would change the names to fit everybody else and there would be cameos by the original Purple Rain Cast. THe artist of course. Morris Day. Jerome. appollonia and I think Vanity(Denise) should show up too!!!! wendy and lisa. The time.
I do not know. I personally think with the right scriptwriters, the right cast (I mean granted that d would be the kid and the soultronics the revolution), the right publicity it could work. Heck we need another movie like that even if it is not the remake something similar, (Oh snap we would have to pay royalties to warner bros wouldn't we?) Gosh dog it. WEll this is just a thought. Tell me what you think? I think I am going to go and watch Purple Rain right now....


Post some ideas on this topic if you got them!
C_Jon


P.S If anybody can make this come true, do not forget me, I need all the experience I can get in the scriptwriting/acting field!!!!!

Don't hold my age against me, man!!!!!!

YOu must remember I was like four when Purple rain came out, so it was like my sesame street. But I watched it like it was going out of style and I could tell you everything about it.
My aunties got me hooked to him. THey gave me my first poster at the age of 6 and do you know who that was. Sheila E. I still have it on my wall. (We have the same birthday<soulgatarius rock>)

Ok I may not have heard every prince song invented, because my mother felt I was too young to listen to it. but when ever I had the chance as a kid I would check out what I could.(ie. music and video) And I made sure that his movies were some of them.
Did THe Artist say that Grafiti Bridge was the sequel ( I know I probably said that wrong) to Purple Rain?, because I did not see the connection in that film. I mean everybody was in it, with the exception of Appolonia 6 and the club owner who wore the cape with the D on it. And remember that other girl with the blonde hair who played the piano with Wendy in the video 1999. And Wendy and lisa were not in it either. Well neither was the Revolution because by now they were all fired. i guess I see your point. And know it was not the best follow up to purple Rain.

That is why D'angelo can do it. He can make it better.
What about "on top of the Cherry Moon"? I know you remember that movie. I haven't seen that in hecka long. Remember when Prince dies in the end. Were those really sequals(my spelling)? I do not see the connection.

But back to the subject- they can remake the movie or make their own. YOu know how everybody else is remaking all the old stuff like the parent trap and the brady bunch. That would rock. Or I personally would like D to make his own version, starring all of the okay artist. And cameos by the original purple rain cast. That would so rock.

Common, THe Roots, THe jazzies, etc.
who should play morris?
I think ?uest could be Jerome(just kidding, I thought that could get a laugh)

Anyways what do you guys think?

i was three when purple rain came out and that shit was right below sesame street as my favorite thing to watch.

me too. my aunt told me recently i used to dance and do splits with prince in her room when the performance scenes of purple rain came on. she wouldn't let me watch appalonia jump into the lake though. i had to see that when i got older.

for some reason i'm against this right now, but you might be up to something. with a good writer (quest) they might beable to pull it off.

but if they don't do a purple rain, i think that musicians should make movies based on their music more often. purple rain is the best movie ever. prince may notbe the best actor but the story was very interesting. and you're right i would like to see somebody do it agian.

how could you not? Prince played the role of 'The Kid' again, they talked about how Billy (the club owner) left the clubs to Morris and The Kid... The blonde haired girl was no longer blonde.. she's the one in bed with Prince at the beginning of the movie.


>That is why D'angelo can do

err.. you mean Under the Cherry Moon? I just say we get D & ?uest to remake that movie.. I'm sure they both know their lines by heart... if not, I can take their parts lol.

YOu are so right. I think at the time I did not pick up on that stuff. Now I have to go and watch it again. That shows you which movie was my favorite. And improv was right that was not the best follow up to Purple Rain, I mean it was good. But not the best follow up.

>err.. you mean Under the Cherry

Thank you. I have had that problem since I was little, except my mom would be the one to correct me when I said the title wrong. I guess old bad habits never die.

I just say

Under the cherry moon. I could see that happening too. It would rock!!!!!

I know that man. It has no connection what so ever. I mean love affair with a betrothed woman, get killed for it in the end. I cry everytime I see that part.

most people do not know that. And Appollonia did not look 19 in that film (or maybe granted that she is old enough to be my mother I had a hard time viewing her that way)


and the blonde chick's name

>is Jill Jones...

learn something new everyday. I always wondered what her name was. She stood out so much to me.

i must check that out!!!



Thanks man for correcting me on the parts that I did not know about. Lets see I think we need another trivia question:

I need something hard: Hmmmm........

What is the password that Morris and Jerome decide on for Appollonia when she enters the club ?(lol)

alright you asked for it.
You must finish this scene in its entirety. Describing every minut detail.


After singing Purple Rain to the crowd, and running off of the stage, list in order all of the following things that he does before he comes back to sing I will die for you, Can you do it? Now remember I know this part by hard. And I am not just talking about pacing through the halls I want all details. Who he interacts with etc.

you should hear Prince's sung (unreleased) version of that. (not to mention his versions of the songs that were on The Family's album...)

maybe someday we'll be blessed with boxed sets like we're getting now of miles davis - but with unreleased, remastered prince material.

only then will you know prince's true genius.

Posted by C_Jon, Thu Apr-27-00 08:57 PM
Just because I was born in 1980 doesn't mean I do not love prince. My only default is that I am not familiar with all of his stuff because I was to young to here some the stuff between purple rain and now. I mean don't get me wrong when I got the chance I checked it out. but we must remember my mother had to to be a good mother. She couldnot introduce me to all of his stuff. I mean goodness she almost got beat down by my grandmother for taking me and my Aunt to go to the movies and see Purple rain.
I ain't mad at you. I just think you should cut me a little slack. But don't worry now that I am old enough to by my own stuff, i will be adding a lot of Prince and(related artist)stuff.

By the way how old are you?

>the real schitt happens at my

>" PRINCE AUDITIONS!!!!!"

Ooooh so this is one of those check my post kinda response...weak man weak...


Anyway, here's what I thought up while on my way to Philly yesterday:

Kid and Morris made peace after Kid wins the battle of the clubs with a ballad. Five yrs later there is a rumbling of an up and coming singer that could bring bank to any club. Both Morris and Kid wanna take D'Angelo under their wings. Kid and Morris are impressed by D'Angelo's rendition of both bands' songs. D and Kid hits it off, but Kid refuses to give D anytime on the stage. Morris offers D the world and D takes it. The rest I haven't figured out yet, but the ending would be either another ballad or purple rain-ish song with a big ass jam session.

I mean it's a little far-fetched, but if done correctly, shiiiit this would be the OFFICIAL SEQUEL (damn that Graffiti Bridge!!!!)

It has been written...

24483, The illegitemate child theory
Posted by C_Jon, Sun Apr-30-00 08:55 AM
Granted that Appolonia was in Purple Rain and not Vanity this is how I think it should go. THe story plot is D comes back as Prince and Appollonia's love child. And And appolonia sends.... oh dang the age doesn't add up. Ok then we will say that Vanity comes back and she is going to say that the reason why she left Prince is because she was pregnant with their love child and that child is D right, but we will say that d is 18(hell if appolonia can be 25 years old playing a 19 year old I think d could pull this off) Now d comes back and of course they(prince and d) are not going to like each other. But he wants to do his music. ANd his father(the artist) is in a slump. He is stuck in a position were he is not playing to his potential.

Now that his (first love) Vanity is in the picture and his new son has returned The artist has now become inspired again, but before he realizes it he and d have a big battle which forces him to join with morris and the time. So D gets caught up with Morris's daughter and they all try to make some kind of Ashford and simpson stuff. And Morris is trying to appollonia 6 his way back to becoming The artist's enemy. Then Appolonia shows up and her and Vanity finally have it out. THen Prince and d finally get to a touching, dramam scene, then they do a song together, they check Morris and put him back into his place. D hooks up with morris's daughter Prince and vanity get married and Appolonia (well I haven't decided what happens to her yet). And then in the end they do this a reinvented version of Baby I'm a star. But this time the Revolution and the soultronics are mixed together. Oh that would so rock.

I know this story line sucks right. I was just trying to start some form of creation. I will post one of my better ideas later.


You guys do something........

hmmm...this probably sounds dumb but.. i sometimes like movies that don't have happy endings. how 'bout this for an ending... prince, as expected, has saved the day and rescued D from the evil grip of morris. Somehow, the rescue leaves morris in financial and emotional ruin. prince finally decideds to allow D his time in the limelight and one night, as D is taking his bow after show, he turns and sees morris in the audience. morris, in a jealous rage brandishes a weapon (you choose the weapon). prince runs to the rescue again and takes the (bullet? knife? poisoned dart?) in D's place. yada yada, mentor dies in the arms of prodigy...

That would be great, but how about D's rendition of "The Beautiful Ones"? I've been wearing out this song lately and I keep hearing D singing it, his version would rock I think, he could definately pull it off. P's version is classic of course and beautiful.

D is looking for the glow........
restoring r&b/soul music to its original status and defeating the pioneers of this musically-challenged generation(i.e.The chico's, the ginuwines,etc.)

And I think we shall make the battle a music battle instead of karate. So lets see.
The artist is Bruce lee
and D is totally amazed with him so he carries himself that way. and the rival gang should be some funky r&b artist who totally sucks and if one of those listed above doesn't want to do it then we will have somebody make a paradoy of them.

Now we need a girl. Somebody that rocks , Ledisi would be cool, but most of you guys have never heard of her. We need somebody to be Laura Charles.


And so basically this will be a musical battle, between d and all these other musically challenged cats.

That is another thought.........

Yeah I'll be there to see her Thursday night.....I heard she performs throughout SF at small clubs, I'm hoping to go and check her out at one of those venues. Tomorrow is going to be tight but we will only get a snippet of her and Angie. I wish Angie would have kept her date at Bimbo's...she would have been on hit!!!

Ledisi was the bomb!!!!!!!!! A true talent!!! and Angie.......well.......she set the pace! I wasn't really expecting her to do as many song as she did. Sista girl got down and her band was the bomb! She also said Prince came to one of her shows and told her later he wanted to sing a song with her!!!!!!

Oh my, I love Purple Rain I watch almost everyday.I really think D should do one with his own story. That will be so dope.But the idea with (The Artists) being the father is excellent.
I really hope he considers it.

First of all, Prince had a colour complex issue. He probably wouldn't even sanction D' as his son cause' he's too DARK.

Second of all, Purple Rain, as much as I have loved Prince, was a stupid, self-indulgent B (at most) rated film.

Although I believe that Prince and D have very similar backgrounds. . .Prince was (at the time) very stuck on assimilation.

I don't believe D' is. Point blank. End of my post.

One Love,
