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.
Bigger than 'Spider-Man'?
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?

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?"

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?

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

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.

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.
