Reflecting on THIS IS IT. It started our pretty sad. Just to see al of the dancers’ interviews…Like most were crying years of joy. The funniest part was when he was burning the jacket. The most surprising part was when he did the SLOW MOTION WIT IT pelvic thrust on Billie Jean. I Holla’d! It was funny how he was stern, but respectful. Another funny moment was on Smooth Criminal when he was supposed to come in at a certain point and he didn’t So Kenny Ortega or whoever brought it to his attention and Mike replied…I’m sizzling. Then Travis or somebody goes …He’s sizzling. I was rolling. I really like the Blood on the Dance floor hair. It was funny on IJCSLY when he started singing and Judith stopped singing with him and was just watching him feel it and SANG it. He even had on really loose fitting clothes for Earth Song. And as Chevonne called it …an OPP coat. I don’t like the way his lips look. Dry. Cool new effect Raining zombies on Thriller. Mike coming out of a big spider. The Smooth Criminal black and white gangster sequence was cool. The Earth Song footage and little girl were awesome. A beautiful moment was when eh was talking about his idea for the bulldozer on Earth Song and how he felt the bulldozer should close in silence then the keyboardist played the da da da da da da da da da on and it was just what Mike was going for and Mike looked at him, smiled, and said god bless you. He was really intimate with Judith during IJCSLY. He gave her a full body hug. He was cool and flirtatious with the black dancer chick on TWYMMF too. I got to see how the dancers practiced to be able to accurately jump out of the floor hydraulic thing. When the dancers were practicing the pelvis thrusts w/ the crotch hold it looked gross or funny looking, but when Mike does it it is what it is…a dance move. Oooh and the out of the floor jump thingy is called getting toasted!
At IMAX for THIS IS IT Part 2 and OH HELL NAW. The Jacksons A&E commercial just played. As much as I am afraid …I’ll be watching it. Ok, the IMAX crowd was a lot more subdued than the Special Screening crowd. Still loving Mike though. This time around I couldn’t hold back the tears. One really poignant thing was the last dancer’s remarks. Something like…life is hard and I was looking for something to believe in and THIS IS IT. Ooh, that stuck a chord with me because Michael is that thing for me to believe in. To keep struggling, keep fighting, I couldn’t bat the tears away on Man In The Mirror and I had to wipe them away with my sleeve. I love him so much. And even after I left and was descending the escalators at Universal I was tearing up. One a side not That one Australian dancer looked kinda good. Nice chest. Oh lord, I don’t been without a man so long I am not only looking at White dudes…I’m looking at White dudes from other countries. Anyway…my heart skipped a beat when he did that run.
I bought the THIS IS IT album yesterday, Man, the digital re-mastering is noticeable. Being that I am familiar with the song s I know it. I also heard this beans rattling in a can sound on Thriller that I had never heard before. Dorian the background singer looks like Hill Harper. I wonder how people live in LA all of their lives? I guess if it’s what you know then its cool. On the 405 I started to wonder how far away I was from the Holmney/Holmey Hills place.
Question: What is so exciting about IMAX? The screen did look curved, but it wasn’t nothing fancy. Maybe my last experience with IMAX with special in some way being that it was at the Science Center. Or maybe that particular screen was NOT IMAX? I’m not happy with my hat anymore. These tracks have made it tight fitting. You know what…I know what I don’t like about his lips! They have been artificially plumped or something. One thing that was cool was that I THINK he was singing Earth Song Live. I love the way he sounds live. It’s rougher, more real. He pretty much sang everything live, but not full out. Earth Song is really the only song he sang out. Back to the THIS IS IT album. The SOOML demo is nice. Simple. Just him and a guitar. The Planet Earth poem’s cadence feels so familiar. I don’t know if it is similar to something I wrote or someone else, but man that poem feels very familiar. Maybe It’s in his poetry book.
