It's getting freaking boring so I head out the the Mall to watching Michael this is it documentary. If it ain't so good, the few bucks go to a "good cause" for his estate. Don't laugh, just poor me thinking.

    I love old school big nose Michael, I wouldn't give two this flick 5 cents.
    I will only watch it ( probably about 20 minutes of it) when it comes to HBO or the Discovery Channel.

    If you want to see a better movie about a guy who touches kids, check out Little Children. At least it has Jackie Earle Haley in it.

    Well, if you can keep an open mind, go see it. It's an awesome documentary abt M.J. I love the visual and sound effects. Good musician and talented guy. I do not care abt his life style. We all have the freedom of choice and the consequence of our action. This is abt music.

    The AMC theater sound system is so good, I do not want to touch mine right now. No, that's not what some of you are thinking. I meant my H/T system.:D

    Sorry you do not like the "This is it" documentary.

    Roger Ebert called it " an extra-ordinary documentary". I am not surpised if it will be nominated for the Oscar for best picture or best documentary.

    Hey, if it gets us another album as good as Thriller, I say we toss a couple of young boys at some other musicians and see what happens. I mean... what's the innocence and rectal fortitude of a few small children compared to a song like Billie Jean? :rolleyes:

    I'm sorry, but idolizing Michael Jackson is like saying "That John Wayne Gacy might have been a killer... but I liked those clown paintings he did."

    Good point.

    At the same token, like it or dislike it, these musicians as imperfect as they were, they are a part of my life as well as some others'.

    At certain age, one likes to live or re-live the memory. Be it Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, CCR...or M.J as in this case. Not really idolize them but just trying to enjoy the music that's all. Cheer!:)

    It does not change my perspective of life however, on the way home, I thought a lot abt life, death and the freedoom of choice that we have.

    Well, it's kind of sad to see the rise and the fall of a talented musician.

    The only thing about this movie that excites me more then the anticipation of seeing it is the official DVD review.

    The footage I've seen showed MJ being at the center of the production for the concerts and how involved he was regarding various aspects of the show. I'm always interested in those aspects of musical productions, whether they're for a concert or an album. However, I wouldn't go to a theater to see that. DVD for me.

    I heard on the radio that there are a growing amount of people who suspect that a LOT of the movie is shown with body and voice doubles instead of the real MJ.

    Interesting idea.

    Well, had they shown his real story, I'm certain there would have been a lot of touching.

    I just think it's funny how people forget in the name of entertainment. It's like saying "Yeah, but what about all the GOOD things Hitler did?" Ridiculous.

    A couple weeks ago, on the NPR network there was an interview with the grandson or so of J. Stalin who now resides in Georgia . The interview was abt his lawsuit to bring back the good name of J. Stalin. This is real stuff, no fiction.

    I think you are confused M.J with O.J.

    I got it Demi. But then again, I'm a sucker for bad puns.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Yea, its all rehersal footage but it still is very entertaining. You could tell he really wasnt giving the singing his 100% & was saving his voice for the the actual shows which he actually mentions but he still sounded great & the band was awesome.
