Well, it's not like they would admit there was no need to make MJ reinvent himself because it would have been a success with the same old stuff anyway.

Beat It is just unebelievable. What a genius was Mike. I didn´t get to hear Wanna Be Starting Something. They took it down.

LondonStyle said:

I really think Michael would have come back big time with this London thing, but sometimes GOD has bigger plans...

His children will never, ever have to want. And all that because of their Daddy.

i wish i could be as optomistic as you about that. already the family is muscling in to try to exercise control of the estate. even if they aren't successful in removing branca, they will be successful in preying upon mj's kids in the same way they preyed upon mj. i believe one of the reasons for mj's constant need for money - as expressed by sony, so take with grain of salt - didn't always have to do with him. he may have been a spendthrift, but when you also have family members who also expect to maintain your lifestyle, there's going to be trouble. that alleged $300 mil debt didn't come from him alone.

madonna's family doesn't live the way she does. why? because *she* made her money, therefore she gets to live off of the fruits of *her* efforts and she doesn't feel obligated to fly her extended family in private jets around the world or maintain a rock star lifestyle for them. i'm sure she helps within reason, but that's the extent of it. that's not the way it is with mj's family. you got ex-wives and children at havenhurst that mj felt obligated to provide for and they're still there now. mj's kids' cousins are now used to a life of dependency, and like any type of generational 'welfare' they're going to feel entitled to everything that prince, paris, and blanket have.

no, if someone doesn't step in between that family and those kids, expect their lives to turn out as sad as their father's.

LondonStyle said:

Rubbish. You can't compare those things to Propofol abuse.

kibbles said:

I don't know about the dependency... but his children have separate lawyers that are handling their estates. Which is good.

Michael Jackson Fans Say 'This Is It' Covers Up Grim Reality
October 23, 2009

A small group of Michael Jackson's dedicated fans have started an "awareness" campaign surrounding the upcoming movie "This is It," saying it covers up the grim reality of the dead pop star's final days.

The group represents fans from at least 10 countries who claim the movie, which hits theatres around the world on October 28 and is based on Jackson's rehearsals for a series of London concerts, conceals the "dire state" of his health while enriching its promoters that they hold partly responsible for his death on June 25.

"In the weeks leading up to Michael Jackson's death, while this footage was being shot, people around him knew that he looked like he might have died. Those who stood to make a profit chose to ignore it," the group says on its website, www.this-is-not-it.com.

Jackson was preparing for the concerts at the time of his sudden death, which was ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County Coroner and attributed to an overdose of the powerful aesthetic propofol as well as the sedative lorazepam.

Police have focussed their investigation into his death on the entertainer's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray. So far, no charges have been filed.

Kenny Ortega, the director of "This is It" who also was choreographing the concert rehearsals, told Reuters earlier this week that he saw no signs of drug dependency in Jackson, that the singer was excited to be performing and that the film was not intended to make a profit.

In a separate interview on Thursday, Ortega called the movie a "musical mosaic...that I think will help the fans come to appreciate and understand what Michael was putting into "This Is It", what his dreams were for it, what his goals were for it."

"It is a story of a master of his craft, a great genius in his final theatrical work and creative process," Ortega said.

The concert promoters, AEG Live, did not return calls for comment.

The group is made up largely of longtime Jackson fans, some of whom have spent time with the entertainer over the years and attended nearly every day of his 2005 child molestation trial.

They say they became so concerned about Jackson's health that on June 21, four days before his death, they wrote to him asking him to stop the tour if he was not up to it.

"It is our wish to help people understand where the responsibilities lie, pertaining to Michael Jackson's passing, in the hope that if they choose to watch the film, they will do so with critical eyes," the group said in a written statement.

"In fact, we believe that those around Jackson chose to look the other way when it was evident he was having problems," the fans said.

"We want to celebrate Michael Jackson and his amazing legacy, but we cannot do so until the truth comes out, justice is served and the lies are exposed."

The fans say they will hand out fliers promoting their cause at the premieres next week for "This is It."

You know?

what the hell is going on?

MIssed you all

Timmy84 said:

if they wanna protest somethng they should take ther behinds down to the LAPD, these same fans were glad to follow, chat and take pictures with with michael just some months ago. AEG will make money regardless, they already sold the film, 90% of this money goes to michael's estate.

DAMN for these 2 week i wish it could be about the music and the icon michael is, there is always drama. the investugation is still going, his estate and now fans wanna boycott his movie.shit

seeingvoices12 said:

madness, i'm gonna have to get my switch out. these fans claim to care about michael but they're PROFITING from this by selling shit on their site.

mimi07 said:

I agree, it's sad.

seeingvoices12 said:

A lot of craziness, lol

WB, dude!

Craziness galore! Sorry I am gonna have to call Madea on this one..

i don´t even know what to think of those fans boycotting the movie. I am going to see it. I don´t care who´s gonna make money off this. Mike´s kids will definately earn some money on this and I will be happy to support them. I just wanna see Mike and what he was preparing for us and appreciate his genius. I know Mike wouldn´t wanna show us rehearsals that he did not feel were "perfect" being the perfectionist he was, but I don´t need to be dazzled to appreciate the film. I just love him and I wanna see him ALIVE again.

I try not to think about his death and figure out theories about why he died and blame people, I´m over that already. It would drive me crazy and it wouldn´t bring him back anyway. I am just trying enjoy whatever I can about him including this film.

I'm still not going, i just feel it is too soon. I'll wait for the DVD,
I think it's entirely possible haters might be in attendance talking shit at the cinema, and purposefully ruining the experience. Could you imagine the poignant ending being ruined? that would suck.

Could cause fatalities, folks attacking folks. i see it happening.

Marrk said:

I wanna say I hope not but you may have a point.

Marrk said:

I hope not. I will have hard times coping with the film itself. But I don´t think it´ll be that hot over here. If that happens, it will suck big time.
