hmmmm what is wrong w/ this story?



PRINCE UPSET BY BEN AFFLECK'S SWEARING


Pop superstar Prince walked out of a screening of Ben Affleck's new movie "Jersey Girl" -- because he didn't like the swearing in it.

The pop superstar -- famous for his risque lyrics -- hates to hear profanity since becoming a Jehovah's Witness and has dropped the more controversial songs from his current hits tour.

He says, "We walked out [of 'Jersey Girl'] after an hour. Guess that's what happens when the potty mouth don't work for you anymore."

Prince, who once appeared naked on the cover of his Lovesexy album, is also urging his peers to use the Janet Jackson breast-baring scandal as a mark that such shockers should be a thing of the past.

He adds, "After Janet, we've gone too far. We've pushed the envelope off the table and forgotten there was a table."

"Jersey Girl" director Kevin Smith isn't too concerned with Prince's criticism.

He jokes, "I'm cool with him not liking 'Jersey Girl.' I f-- hated his album Crystal Ball, so now we're even."

He better not see Kill Bill or any number of movies currently out containing vulgar language. Jersey Girl doesn't really have all that much, considering the PG-13

Prince is so irrelevant now that whatever antics he gets into always seems like warmed-over Michael Jackson.

If he wants to see a bad movie, tell him to watch Purple Rain. :eek:

I thought Prince was dead!

He's born again !

I cant wait for the day when he knocks on my door to witness. I'll be crankin Get Off to the max. Sorry, 2 the max.

He still a bad-ass.

I was rewatching the Evening with Kevin Smith DVD today, and he mentioned that Prince loved Dogma. That had lots of profanity, and a rubber poop monster in it. Perhaps he was dipped into the purifying waters of Lak Minotonka

This may seem like a trivial point to some but Born again is not the same as Jehovah Witness. Jehovah witnesses have a totally different set of religious beleifs than Christianity.

Prince has a lot of talent but I liked his earlier stuff not his newer stuff.

[Cunning Visions]

I agree the guy's talented, but is and always will be a flake. If Jersey Girl offended him(:confused:)...then I'm afraid to know what movies he finds suitable.

Btw has anybody seen Fred Armisen's impression of Prince on SNL?? It's hysterical..."Prince wants to paint your picture" :D

THE BASTARD WILL PRETEND YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT AND WILL BE PATIENTLY WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY. IN THE MEANTIME, HE'LL BE FIXING A SANDWICH.

BTW Visions, Fred's impression is perhaps the greatest Prince impression ever. After his role in EuroTrip and now this, I see him becoming a huge fan favorite (a'la, Tim Meadows and his skits as The Ladies Man in his later years, but in a shorter time period, of course).



SHIVER ME TIMBERS..."JUNGLE LOVE...YEAH! OH-WE, OH-WE, OH!!! I THINK I WANNA KNOW YA, KNOW YA!"

THE BASTARD IS BUSY REMEMBERING SOME GREAT SONGS FROM PURPLE RAIN.

game...

So I guess since Prince is now religious, in order to follow his own logic , can anyone point me to the article where he is in talks for pulling ALL his albums from shelves with offensive lyrics in them? ;)

[jeo4]

:confused:

1. What the hell did he expect going into a Kevin Smith film knowing the content of previous films??

2. Knowing the content of his own films and the MPAA rating system now, why didn't he look at the ratings and see why it was rated the way it was?

3. In spite of the film content and language, why did he need to raise a big stink about it?? I say it was for his new image to go with his new religion.

4. Prince finding religion and being Born Again is all fine and good, but it smells fishy to me...kind of like Michael Jackson finding the right girl, settling down and having kids.

:D

[HeavyK]

How could he be offended by the swearing. This movie is PG-13. Guess he shouldn't see any of Kevin Smith's other movies.
