An appallingly clumsy and stupid take on drugs, kidnapping and suicide in suburbia. Director Arie Posin drags down a name cast (Glenn Close. Ralph Fiennes, Allison Janney, Jamie Bell) who will need to scrub thier reps clean of this tripe.

“1999”

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
