Sign o' the Times: The Movie
Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2006 9:51 pm
If anyone's interested, the Sundance Channel is showing Prince's Sign o the Times film this month. It's been out of print for ages and there's still no DVD release, so it's kinda cool that it's been resurrected.
Is it a great film? No. It's horribly dated and pretty cheesy. Still, the music is great and there isn't exactly a ton of "official" Prince live footage out there. (It's debatable how "live" it is, though. Parts of it were filmed on a soundstage at Paisley Park and I'm sure there were extensive overdubs.)
Check your cable listings. I have it sitting on my DVR--I just need to get off my ass and buy a video capture device so I can transfer it to DVD.
