Looks like they were planning on performing 2Bad and that evolved into the Drill routine

I would have loved to see 2Bad. I loved watching Mike doing it in front of the mirror. I could have watched him rehearse like this for hours. Wish they released more footage of/like this.

I hate when it pauses everytime it does I hope it will just keep going, as if it will mean he is still here.

Seeing "dedicated to MJ´s kids" always brings tears to my eyes. It hurts so much. It feels like watching TII brings excitement to an empty shell. I am excited to watch it and numb at the same time - it´s so weird.

Tonight me and some friends are going to watch TII dvd. It'll be fun. At Walmart, they have 2 towering TII displays at the checkout stand that were literally swarmed with people.

How much do you all think the TII dvds/blu-ray discs will gross this year?

I havent purchased the DVD yet because I already have the movie. What are some new features that really stand out in the DVD/Blueray? Any unseen rehearsal performances? Is Dirty Diana on there?

I got my copy at Walmart today

It annoys me the dedicated bit comes right at the end of the credits it seems almost to be a second thought, normally they come nearer the beginning.

Apparently it has sold $18 million in sales in Japan, DVDs accounted for $11.3 million and Blu-ray discs $6.7 million on Jan. 26. It broke the previous records of $6.2 million sales in one day.

Well, there´s stuff about the dancers, band and singers, which I thought would be boring, but the one about the dancers is actually cool. I liked it. There´s some footage of Mike dancing as well. Than there´s memories of Michael, which will bring tears to your eyes. They are recalling beautiful memories with Mike and then, I love the Dancing Maching. There´s footage of Mike dancing in front of the mirror and some other footage as well. Not too much of a new footage, but i don´t regret bying it, I enjoyed it.

I´d love to see the blu ray stuff. What´s it like, guys? Give us your opinions on it, please.

Watching this now and I am absolutely blown away! What a show this would have been.

What is amazing is that the man moves as well as he did 25 years ago.

I wasn't sure if I would buy it since I didn't see it in theathers (I just started a new job and I was very busy plus I'm more of a causal MJ fan), but I ended up buying it at Target for waht I think is the best deal. DVD and Blu-Ray in one set for $24.99. I don't think anyone pointed this out. I'm watching the DVD right now since I never set up my Blu Ray player. Very good. Glad I bought it.

Also, when it come to price, Meijer was selling it for $15.99 for the DVD and only $20 for the Blu-ray> Neither one had "exclusive" special features. Glad I got it at Target but I'm surprised nobody sold it with a digital copy....then again, they can just sell that only at places like Itunes, so maybe it makes a lot of sense.

Best Buy has a digital copy for PSP/PS3 users.

I got my copy at Walmart The film is in surround sound 5.1 but the extras aren't.

3D? Where from???

I grabbed the itunes download from the US (it's not released here in Australia for another month) and it had a few extras. I loved the Memories of Michael part the best as it offered further insight into how Michael worked with the band and crew - especially that part of Michael doing his "operatic" impersonation.

What it did make me long for though was all the other footage they must have from the concepting of the show, to the band running through songs.

A few things I have noticed so far is the inclusion of songs like "Will You Be There" and how at one point "Dangerous" and "Rock With You" were on the set list. Dangerous must have had some graphics done for it because next to it it had the word "brainscan".

Can't wait to get my hands on the Blu-Ray deluxe boxset.

They showed Will You Be There?!

bboy87 said:

The music for it was playing beneath one of the featurettes - and it is clearly the live version. The fact that this song was also played during the memorial adds credence to the fact that it was a song that was rehearsed. Perhaps like Stranger in Moscow it was going to be a song that MJ would sub in if the mood took him.

And where did you get the 3D version?

Swa

I picked this up on Blu-ray and watched it. I was pleasently surprised.
The music and Mj's performance was really good. Very nice.

bboy87 said:

I don't believe extras usually are.

BTW, I watched the DVD that night and it was pretty great, even for a causal fan.

The mix of the music for a surround system is just incredible. When they're rehearsing a song, I feel like I'm listening to it for the first time. The separation and clarity is awesome to me.

I was watching some of the extras on the BluRay, and starting boohooing again.

bboy87 said:

Some of the extras are in surround sound.

I've been rewinding my TII disc like crazy since last week.

I LOVE the part during the J5 medley when he was talking about that earplug device. I know he was frustrated, but his reaction is so adorable to me!

GraffitiKid said:

The costumes were ridiculous! In a good way. That's on there too.

I loved all of them , he looked really awesome in the coat during Black Or White!(also LOVED that guitar duo jam at the end of it.

GraffitiKid said:

No, I mean the costumes made for the show. There's a feature, The Gloved One, on the DVD (at least it's on the BluRay), about the costumes. Most of them have been made, and MJ saw most of them. The "Billie Jean" costume actually had LED lights int he socks, the stripe up the side of the leg, and the glove itself. AMAZING shit. The "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" jacket had like 300,000 crystals on it.
