bu. Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 'yeah well why yall keep sneaking out then' . I still don't know why that dude got upset over the phone call...I read once that it's because he found out he had HIV but I don't remember them ever mentioning it PJ is definitely Janets best movie to me.

TwistedElegance™ Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 That's gotta be it. Even now I watched extra close to make sure I didn't miss anything around that scene with the phone call, but nothing. It probably ended up on the cutting room floor.

Reyna ♔ Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 This movie is awesome. I remember watching it like halfway through when I was like 8 or 9 and heard more curse words than I ever had up until then, and having my grandmother rush in and turn it off. Then I had to wait like another 3 years to see the full thing That scene with Jan and Pac kills me every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Wait, I just realized I have the director's commentary. Let me see if he says anything about that scene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I watched it on surround sound about a week or so ago. It's one of 5 Janet movies I can watch over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Okay, John Singleton says: "A lot of questions about this scene right here. I wanted to leave it ambiguous. This guy's a gay character and everything, I wanted it to be just a little AIDS thing, to look ambiguous like, does he have AIDS? Does he know a former lover who came down with something? I just wanted him to be upset. They do this a lot in European films. You don't really have to go back to it, just let it hang there. It gives it a tinge of reality. It doesn't necessarily have to be a plot point." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 How sure are you? As sure as Janet was when she said she'd be worth the wait. . I haven't heard that one before. I'm not entirely convinced, though. It's her phrasing that makes it sound weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
