Michael Jackson's "Is This It": Do you care?
 
I keep seeing all these stories about how many advance tickets this shameless cash in -- sorry, loving tribute -- is raking in.

<a href="http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/how-big-is-big-aeg-privately-predicting-michael-jackson-pic-will-make-250m-in-first-5-days/">Bigger than 'Spider-Man'?</a>

I just wonder if there really are that many MJ fans willing to shell out to see this or if it's a lot of hype over nuttin'. What say you?

and yes, I care... or should I say, I'm interested.

Re: Michael Jackson's "Is This It": Do you care?
 
why would it be called "is this it"? I mean, seriously. That's like questioning if Michael will be making a come back.

Ok, now I sort of want to call it "is this it?"

Not interested. Rehearsal footage. No thanks.

I bet that This is mostly rehearsal footage without the musical numbers being complete. I would guess that they would release another film with the complete concert rehearsal footage they shot ( remember they shot the full length concert rehersals in whole just without people in the arena )

It's not that I don't care about MJ.
but I don't much care for the idea of this movie.

If anything, the Lebron James movie I find more intriguing?

Mmm, maybe for some reason I was thinking of The Strokes instead. Are they dead? ;)

No interest at all.

Oh I thought the original poster altered the title deliberately :S.

I think the general response after seeing it will be: "Is that all there is?"

Re: Michael Jackson's "Is This It": Do you care?
 
I'll probably end up seeing it when it hits DVD.

I might watch this once it hits DVD, but I really have VERY little interest.

I would be more interested in seeing the Kenny Loggins version.

Maybe when it hits dvd. In theaters, no way.

I'd rather have "Moonwalker" on DVD.

He-heee

There's a debate here in the office that it will make money, I am the minority that bets it won't be what they're expecting. Especially considering how much we paid out to AEG and Paul Anka.

I wish. :(

I wouldn't mind seeing it but I really doubt its something I'll go to in theaters.

I'm not going opening weekend, but probably during the week.

Re: Michael Jackson's "Is This It": Do you care?
 
DVD release, sure. Make for an interesting program to watch at home but it would be strange seeing this kind of posthumous documentary in a theatre. These things just play better on TV.

I'd say I couldn't possibly care any less about this, but I apparently cared enough to vote. And post. Ugh.

and on a huge IMAX screen - ugh, it'd look like crap - what a rip-off .... no thanks.

This Is It isn't going to be IMAX, unless it's digital only.
