the love/sex scene is hilarious. the idea of the cramp is genius coming from someone whose image is all about being a mega lover !
i don't know why but i have crazy expectations that once it's complete, the trapped in the closet suite will be some kind of a rnb equivalent of a lynch movie ! or it might just end up being a silly soap opera...
anyway, by the end, just like in asterix, they will party and step, for sure...

I thought he broke the rubber

from the sheer force of his SUPER-AWESOME FUCKING
his simile has become truth! hoist by his own petard!

kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 07:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm worried that the fact that i immediately got the significance of the rubber says bad things about my previous relationships.

I'm hoping against hope that the "film" is just R. Kelly alone on a stage with a chair and some props a la "U Saved Me," miming the situations described.

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 12:24 (eighteen years ago) link

is R the director of the "trapped in the closet - the movie" ? (it may have been mentionned earlier in the thread but i can't remember...and am too lazy to read it all over again...).
otherwise, maybe he should ask david lynch ! could be the creepiest thing both have ever done...

AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:36 (eighteen years ago) link

video for part one is on his site http://www.r-kelly.com

It's basically the song acted out note-for-note. Only big extra detail is R. Kelly sticking his head out of the closet and wagging his finger before she closes it and runs back to the room. I think a U Saved Me-style mime would be way more effective and entertaining, but as the story is so batshit it is amusing to watch someone act it out.

The part where he pulls out the gun is perfect.

Jimmy Mod Is Great At Getting Us Into Trouble (ModJ), Thursday, 2 June 2005 02:17 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah its almost out of nowhere! its like: whoa, a gun!

latebloomer: Pain Don't Hurt (latebloomer), Thursday, 2 June 2005 03:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I know you guys were hoping for more (did anyone really think that this was gonna be REALLY batshit?) but the super-serious way EVERYTHING is done makes this a total winner. I especially love:
1) The pan back opening. "This is Chicago. The windy city. A city... of love. It's my city. But what happens when a man looks for love in the wrong places? Let me tell you a story..."
2) Kells watching Cathy and Rufus go at it. He IS freaky.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 2 June 2005 07:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Kells watching Cathy and Rufus go at it. He IS freaky

Well there wasn't much to do besides watch. He was a captive audience after all.

My friend just heard an edited version of part 5. Spoilers TK.

Candicissima (candicissima), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I tried looking up the tire shop ("Willoash Tires") that's outside Rufus and Cathy's window, but there's no entry in the Chicago Yellow Pages.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm just trying to peg where they live -- it's West Side, yeah, but that water tower looks kind of familiar.

Woo doggy...holy brain fuck, Batman! The lyrics:

and now i'm like
well well well
what the (boop) is this
a condom in my bed
you better start talkin bitch
before it ake a match and burn this mother(Boop)er down
i said you better start talkin and start talkin right gotdamn now
then she said baby
i'm so speechless
then i said baby
you gon' be breathless
if you don't start talkin quick
woman i'm gonna have a fit
you don't know what you're (boop)in with
girl you better cut the bull(boop)
now it's obvious somebody has been all up in my home
in my bed
and plus i smell cigarettes
now i'm sniffin and lookin around
suspicious like someone's here
then i looked in her eyes and in her eyes there was so much fear
pull out my gun say is he still here
she shook her head and said no
i'm checkin behind every door
she cried out he left right after you called
i said what the (boop) was you thinkin
you thought that i wouldn't find this out
and then i said you must be crazy or on crack to have somebody all up in my mother(boop)in house
she hopped up and said that's enough
she said i can't take no more
then she said you've made your point but now its time to even the score
she said i know all about last night
and where you went when you left the club
said that's right nigga i was there
with this guy in the back of the club
i said i thought you was with your girls
she said i thought you was with your guys
she said you was at that bitch's house
and don't you even try to act surprised
i said ba- she said shut up
don't you say a word
it ain't nothin you can say that i ain't already heard
then i said woman don't you try to turn it all around
cuz the fact still remains that someone else was in my house
then she said you're right about that
somethin did go down
but i don't have to turn it around
cuz what goes around comes back around
i'm movin a little closer to her
she's trippin over the furniture
she said wait first just let me explain
i said no need to just give me his name
and then she says uh uh
i say uh what?
she said please sit down in the chair
and then she cries out i'm so scared to tell you because of what you might do
and i scream look girl you beter give me this man's name and i'm not playin with you
she says ok wipes her nose and then askeds me about a girl named tina
i thought to myself said it soudns familiar then said i'd probably know her if i seen her
then i said anyway girl what the hell has that got to do with this man
she said he know my girl roxanne
i said who the hell is roxanne
then she said roxanne is a friend of mine who knows this guy named chuck
chuck's cool with this guy named rufus and i'm sitting there like what the fuck!
then she said rufus wife kathy, we both went to high school
she introduced me to the policeman that stopped you.

Candicissima (candicissima), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:18 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm confused.

that's it?

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I have no idea what it's supposed to mean. I long for the good old days of "Thin Line Between Love And Hate" where they wrapped it up with a moral.

Candicissima (candicissima), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

strng hlkngtn, Friday, 3 June 2005 20:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm so confused.

deej., Friday, 3 June 2005 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Yr sure it didnt cut off early? It seems like its supposed to keep going.

deej., Friday, 3 June 2005 20:31 (eighteen years ago) link

That was all he wrote/heard. I sure hope that's not it.

Candicissima (candicissima), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:32 (eighteen years ago) link

get one fiction workshop, robert

strng hlkngtn, Friday, 3 June 2005 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

tina and roxanne seems totally extraneous.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:42 (eighteen years ago) link

it suddenly occurred to me that i'd like to see what larry david would do with this material.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:43 (eighteen years ago) link

if... this is it, i think R is just daisy chaining a bunch of names leading into a flashback montage over the previous chapters' cast then finally leading to the policeman being the guy who left the condom.

xcixxorx, Friday, 3 June 2005 20:48 (eighteen years ago) link

GOOFY.

miccio (miccio), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:04 (eighteen years ago) link

So Rufus and Chuck are going out, and Chuck knows Roxanne who knows R.'s wife, who went to high school with Kathy, who introduced the policeman (who we can assume fucked the wife). And a girl named Tina knows Roxanne. So yeah, Jaymc's right. those last two women are totally extraneous. Basically for reasons unknown to us all Kathy decided to hook up with R., and R.'s wife got revenge by fucking the policeman. I think.

my head hurts.

miccio (miccio), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link

forget it miccio, it's chi-town

strng hlkngtn, Friday, 3 June 2005 21:12 (eighteen years ago) link

the only reason I can see for this Roxanne/Tina shit is if the reason Kathy hooked up with R. was because she found out from Roxanne/Tina that Chuck was fucking Rufus and decided she needed some Kells orgasm shit cuz undoubtedly R.'s wife would blab to her friend from high school about his prowess. But as Kathy was shocked at the Chuck-Rufus revelation that seems unlikely.

x-post hahahaha

miccio (miccio), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:12 (eighteen years ago) link

R Kelly is weird, but not that weird. It must be cut off early. Or something.

deej., Friday, 3 June 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

i dunno, he might be that weird!

strng hlkngtn, Friday, 3 June 2005 21:15 (eighteen years ago) link

oh it has to be a cut off. I refuse to believe the song builds up to SHE INTRODUCED ME TO THE POLICEMAN WHO STOPPED YOU!!! YOU!!!! you!!! you!

miccio (miccio), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:15 (eighteen years ago) link

oh i dunno, i can easily see him coming up with this great idea and getting bored halfway through

strng hlkngtn, Friday, 3 June 2005 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

oh I'm not entirely shocked by this unnecessary plot shit (look at the end of Psycho or Sleepy Hollow or any other movie where the action stops and somebody pointlessly explains it all) but it would still end with some big tada or reflection or him yelling "THE END!!!!" or something. It wouldn't end in mid-speech.

This thing does slightly explain Mary/Kathy's whole "don't you want to know how this started" shit in 2 & 3.

miccio (miccio), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

WHO HAS MP3 OF THIS.. i'm not reading the lyrics until i listen to it.

mark p (Mark P), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:45 (eighteen years ago) link

his decision to write 'tina' into the story is totally fascinating, in a magnificent bastard kind of way

mark p (Mark P), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:49 (eighteen years ago) link

also, i am absolutely stunned that this didn't end with r. finding duder in the closet.

mark p (Mark P), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:51 (eighteen years ago) link

also, what should've been bump'n'grind's rashomon is now officially bump'n'grind's "it's a small world after all".

mark p (Mark P), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

also, what significance does the gay couple really have in the overall frame of the story? was the "closet" metaphor nothing but a happy coincidence? r. kelly, what a guy.

mark p (Mark P), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:58 (eighteen years ago) link

it's not cut off. i have it and i'll YSI it. it literally ends with "the policeman that just stopped you...you...you".
