**New Date**'This Is It' Movie - released 28th Oct (topics merged)

^^^ That whole list on wikipedia needs to get back down to reality, a lot of people's sales have been inflated by huge amounts. The biggest selling artists of all time are The Beatles (450 million +), Michael Jackson (370 million) and Elvis (300 million +)
 
God i come in to a thread expecting to read about the amazing realese of this is it and i get HE IS GONNA BE DYING RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES shoved in my face, this thread needs a bloddy warning sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The date has been shifted ,maybe because the date October 30 was the same day in which Invincible was released in 2001.
 
In a lot of threads everyone is forgetting Michael Jackson first and foremost was a father. He wanted to make his kids proud, spend the rest of his life teaching them and bringing them up and giving freely of his love.

He would never intentionally do anything to harm himself. And what happened was under the due care of a so called doctor.

However the kids have the most incredible back catalogue of his father, they have images and footage to never forget him and now they have the film This Is It..........

This is positive, we have to hold onto the positive otherwise we get controlled by the demons.

I am looking forward to it and will yep have a tear but there will also be moments where the corners of my mouth turn upwards.

Sit back and enjoy!!!

Amen... Testify!!! :D

Sit back and enjoy, I will have tears, but I wouldn't miss it, I'm gonna see it as many times as my bank account let's me!

This is IT, this is All we have of IT. We must cherish this footage of rehearsals of what without a doubt at all was going to be the
Greatest Show on Earth put on by Michael Jackson.:)

roll on 30th October!!

I still Miss him so much:(:cry:
 
Yeah but its hard. This time we would finally enjoy the "storm", the storm was coming, the storm hit us, the storm took Michael Jackson. We fans are so creepy unlucky, its sick. lol
 
I have a feeling I won't be able to see it in my country...But I'm not really sure I want to see it this year anyway.
 
But Supe, he told fans that he didn't know. Do you think Michael was not being honest?

Which fans did he tell this? I just can't believe he was tricked into doing 50 shows. How can anyone buy into any of this "good businessman" stuff if the guy was being swindled every time he turned around?

Even if for arguments' sake he was duped, why would he tell fans that? It defies logic.

Bro he told a handfull of fans, Samantha , Diana and Maryka just to name a few, one of them went to the tabloids that very same day. When the story was published Mike's guards stopped giving them as much access as they did. Michael has a long history of confiding in fans, the ones who follow him wherever he goes can attest to this. And yes the "goodbusinessman" stuff is sadly a thing of the past, this is the same man who signed away rights to use his name or logo (something to that effect) for some time, everybody remember the Dieter Wiezner case? Why would Randy Philips say Mike asked him "how many shows will I have to do"? That doesn't sound like 50 shows were cast in stone? Philips also stated that Tohme gave him the go ahead to add more dates NOT Michael. Now this Tohme character is the same guy who signed that Michael's stuff be auctioned and Michael was only made aware by a FAN that this had happened. BUT then again they say Mike's signature was in the contract which allowed an additional 21 or dates to be added.
 
I'm looking forward to the new single that'll be coming out in a couple of months with This Is It :)
 
This has been a really hard year for me...first MJ died, now my girlfriend of 3 years just broke up with me. Im devastated.
 
I am so sorry for the people on here who have just had relationships ended. But remember these have probably had to end for you to meet the perfect person, I know its easy to say - but in a couple of years you will look back and agree.

Big hugs to those of you paining not only through the loss of Michael.

I know exactly how you feel. I wasnt with ym girlfriend 3 years (was a year and a half) But I loved her to bits. I also found out she had started seeing this other guy that I absolutely hate, like a week after MJ died.

Sucks :\

Hey, sorry to hear that. I wasn't eating right when Michael passed and I cant imagine how it would have felt to deal with losing a girl in the process. Keep your head up, buddy.

We are exacly in the same boat brother, that happened to me too.. kind of scary..

i dont get what you are basing this "good businessman" thing on? for every one example of "good" over the last ten years.. i'm sure i can give you ten very bad examples.. good businessman was a thing of the past

yes all this 50 show duping does defy logic.... it seems totally nuts. even if MJs signature is on the contract.. doesnt mean he read it. randy's interview BEFORE june 25th says he checked the extra dates with Thome(not MJ)and his phonecall with MJ (after 50 dates sold) was MJ saying "how many shows i gotta do Randy?".. that doesnt sound like MJ was adamant beforehand about doing 50 shows does it? sounds like someone who has no idea

Randy will obviously be being much more careful with how he phrases things post 25 June of course

can i also say.. whilst duping MJ makes MJ seem to not be in his right mind.. can i just put to you... is someone who has propofol via an IV drip at night in their right mind??? seriously?? could you imagine a parent in your house doing that and thinking it would be ok? I KNOW YES-MEN doctors will have told MJ "hey its fine".. but MJ will have had plenty of doctors that refused to do this (hence him insisting on Murray to AEG.. no UK doctor in their right mind was going to get involved in something as dangerous as this and MJ must have known this, thats why he was so admamant on Murray)... MJ must have known this is a drug used for short operations (as presumably he'd had xperience of this).. not for a whole nights sleep

anyone who has been put under anasethtic knows it can take a week to recover from its effects.. its a real assault on the body... and yet MJ was thinking of having this drug alot (if reports are true) over the coming months??? you arent meant to eat for 6 hours before aswell.. how is that practical when you have rehearsals wil like 12 everynight?? there is NO WAY he could have survived the whole tour relying on propofol.. his body would never have taken it/.. surely?

please ask yourself if anyone who takes propofol to induce fake sleep is in their right mind?? when you consider this.. surely the 50 show thing doesnt seem so hard to comprehend

really good sum-up

100% agree

IF Mjs sig was on it tho.. doesnt mean he read the contract... fans that saw him coming out of kliens office in May/ June said they couldnt believe he was going off for meeting in that "state".. they said one day a camera man knocked him to the floor .. and it was a really bad fall.. next day when they asked him if he was ok, he had no rcollection of what had happened


Plus.. its MJs managers job to explain to MJ what he's signing.. contracts are v long documents.. so its not crazy that he may not have even looked at it
 
Told you this personally did he? ;)



For Michael Jackson estate, the money is already rolling in

August 12, 2009 | 4:00 pm

Michael Jackson’s estate is poised to double the performer’s net worth by the end of this year with earnings of $200 million, according to a longtime associate and co-administrator of the performer’s affairs.

In an interview today, entertainment attorney John Branca said that deals hammered out in the seven weeks since Jackson’s death -- including a film project, merchandising deals and other agreements -- had brought $100 million to the estate. Two of those deals are still awaiting court approval.

The revenue will go into a trust that benefits Jackson’s mother, two sons and daughter and charities that help children.

Branca began representing Jackson in 1980, but the pair parted in 2006. Jackson rehired Branca on June 17, eight days before the entertainer’s death, during a meeting in which they discussed an array of projects, including Broadway show, a movie, a coffee table book and a major charity event that they hoped would attract Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama's participation.

Branca also said a new Jackson song would be included on a soundtrack from the Sony Pictures film of Jackson's rehearsals, to be released in October. He said Jackson left about 60 new recordings -- enough to support multiple albums in coming years. Branca also said the estate had no plans to sell its 50% stake in the lucrative catalog of songs by the Beatles and others that it owns with Sony Corp; he thought the relationship between the estate and Sony would remain about the same.

you should provide a source if you're going to make such claims. Why should anyone just take your word for it off the bat just like that?
 
Easy up turbo, I wasn't making any such claims, I was simply stating fact. Branca made this public knowlege days ago..
 
It seems like I would be the first one who watches this movie in here because of Time Zones. LOL

I know I will cry so hard in the end. Hate it!
