So Monday night was the Opera… now to the other end of the spectrum.
An evening with Michael Jackson and his long-awaited, and oh so quietly
publicized movie “This Is It.”

So I kind of felt as though I needed to see the movie. After all the hype.
After all of the aftermath. After all of the news reports. Somehow I felt compelled.
I grew up with his music – and must admit I LOVE the video for “Thriller.”
It felt as though it might be some sort of closure to the whole fiasco
that was Michael Jackson.

Here we go… with a lot of buttered popcorn along the way…
The movie was actually better than I expected. And I’m glad I saw it on the big screen.
It was interesting to see some behind-the-scenes footage of the concert preparations.
It was interesting to see Michael being Michael – instead of how the media has
portrayed him. He was an artist trying to make the perfect concert.
Sadly… that will never happen now.

While not the best movie ever… it was very interesting & entertaining.
You know all of the songs, and will most likely sing-along as I did.
It reminded me that Michael Jackson was a great talent.
It humanized him as a performer, not a media freak.
And his nose didn’t look all that bad!!!
