The body isn't even cold, and the corporate suits are already salivating...

Say what you want about Prince, good or bad, but this kind of blatant profiteering on his demise is disgusting in my opinion.

It was a sucky movie in 1984. I doubt it has gotten any better in the past 30 years.

Don’t know about where you live, but they are showing it here for free.

1984 had the best movies.

blatant profiteering on his demise

His demise reminded people of just how good he once was. I won't see the film again, but others will want to, and they will be quite happy to pay to see it in a theater. I'm glad they will have that opportunity.

Didn’t care for him before and don’t care for him now but there seem to be a lot of Talking Heads who think he was the second coming of JFK, Elvis and the Beatles all in one.

It’s been nothing but Prince-Prince-Prince in the media for two days.

If you aren’t sick of hearing and reading about Prince by now it’s a miracle.

How come whenever some entertainer who was popular 30 years ago dies, society collapses in a sycophantic fit, moaning about how "we" have "lost a legend?" I was sitting in a public place, somebody suddenly stood up and yelled, "Oh no, we lost Prince," followed by a ripple of shock and dismay through almost everyone in the vicinity. How many of those people ever even knew who "Prince" was?

"Prince" died alone.

Didn’t have a thought about him for the past 20 years. Sorry he passed, but when I checked my bank account I had less money in it.

Huh.

OK.

Personally, I was hoping this would happen.

And with more movies more often. Movies are made to be seen on big screens in theaters.

I wonder what they use to show the movie? Film? If so boy did they run off new copies fast. I don’t think they would have had show worthy old copies lying around.
