does anyone here have it? is it worth buying? are there any exclusives on there?

also lol at the scene where eddie and his buddy are in a nightclub interviewing prospective wives and the butch transvestite clip is the only one with eddie sat right next to her, pulling a dopey doe-eyed grin

watched the film last night, it's mostly zzz but the soundtrack was superb.

what! I thought the film spectaculous. it's in my top 3. the soundtrack is great too, though I couldn't tell you much about it.

the idea was decent but things like eddie's accent bugged me. having to play a naif prince held him back. some good bits though, the barbershop guys should have been in more.

xpost yeah it was, according to imdb

Michael Rodgers' "I Like It Like That" has that great 'come on baby, blow my... mind' bit.

This is easily one of the greatest pieces of music journalism this year.

This is one of two posts I plan today where I am not totally sure if I'm solid ground…so…

I love the aspects of this movie in which you see Murphy mining african american culture…I don't give a shit about the love story, but Randy Watson absolutely knocked me on my ass in 1988 and I'm gonna watch the thing probly tonight just so I can see how Randy is gonna be addressed…

But I've long thought that Murphy, like say Prince, hasn't been particularly comfortable with hip-hop and post-hip-hop black culture… like he's spot on doing Soul Glo, Randy Watson, the barbershop guys and Jesse Jackson doing like Teddy Prendergrass for "Don't let me Down, Hymietown"… there's a sense in which hip hop and the Murphy phenomenon occurred at the same time…and while rappers of the day would certainly idolize him, I get the sense that he would be like "well, they're not singing or playing an instrument…" I don't know if it's known that he had this attitude, which Prince absolutely had… he seems to identify with black culture immediately preceding him but not much afterwards… he appears to have long been fairly sedentary in 40 years of being enormously famous… Is there anything to what I'm suggesting in the films for which he is the creator, not ones where he's enacting someone else's prerogatives? I must confess that the only film post Coming to America that I'm familiar with is Norbit, which is considered his very worst but very much conforms to what I am talking about here…
