Re: Michael Jackson's "Is This It": Do you care?
I'm waiting for the reviews, but probably a rental. If it's a full dress rehearsal of the concert, that sounds like it's worth watching. If it's bits and pieces and incomplete I'll pass. There hasn't been much clear explanation of what the film is.

I'll wait for the sequel.
Sony bought the flick for $50 - $60m (which they've apparently already made back) so I'm assuming the company that produced it got a large chunk and the Jackson estate will get a share of it (this film was planned before Jackson's death.)

I'll be there at midnight opening night. Huge MJ fan.. sad that this is the closest I'll get to seeing him live but we're all really excited. I'll probably see it more than once.

I've seen some scenes and although it is rehearsal footage, you do see some finished routines. I do like the "behind the scenes" where you see MJ's creative juices flowing.
I'm pretty sure I'll catch this in the theatre, but it's almost a must-have on Blu-Ray since there is nothing else MJ on the format.

I'd give it a rent out of curiosity, but I'm not hauling myself to a theatre to see it. Especially if the run is so limited. I'm a busy man.

Eh, never been a fan. I might at some point watch this if it's on cable or something. I seriously doubt I would even do that, though.
