I'm just joking with you, man :LOL:

Yes, this documentary seems to be all over the place, even being a WIP still.
Who knows, maybe there's another documentary out there which covers the making of the album...

It's tricky, isn't it? They've got Nelson George directing and he's trashed Michael something rotten many times. I wouldn't have given the job to him but I'm not in charge and we are where we are.

As for Quincy, you just can't - or shouldn't - leave him out of the story. He's such a big part of it. I don't know if there would be legal restrictions on using archive footage of him talking about it. It wouldn't be new and exclusive but it would be pertinent. And if the doc is aimed at a general audience, as much as it's aimed at Michael's fans, lots of people wouldn't have seen the Q footage, anyway.

It's not about excluding him from MJ projects. It's about telling a coherent story about Thriller and Q was instrumental in its success. Michael didn't make it big bc of Q. Michael made it big bc he was a creative genius. But not including Quincy? Unless he was invited and declined - seems unlikely - I can't think of a good reason to leave him out.
 
came across this snippet from the documentary, of Michael discussing something close to my heart; the message of ‘beat it’. it’s so rare to hear him speak with such conviction during this time. his voice had a force to it. I would love to know where this was taken from. aside from new footage, I’m most excited to hear Michael tell his own story during this time.

The live clip of “Human Nature” is boring imo; no different than the dozens of other Bad and Dangerous concerts we’ve seen. Hard skip for me. But everything else is heavenly and I can’t wait for it.

Not here to hate at all but to say Human Nature on the Victory tour is the same as on the Bad & Dangerous tours is simply wrong lol.

....so is it too late to revive the old victory tour release campaign? Mj deserves an HD concert release. If they have this concert in full, it's time.

Just my opinion! That 40-some seconds didn’t do much for me because it feels very, very familiar with the other performances we’ve seen.

I’d rather a Bad tour release if anything so we don’t get bogged down by the brothers and the lesser Victory Tour band.

I think the footage of Michael speaking at the end is an outtake from ‘the making of thriller’. only the audio was placed over the dance rehearsal.

I can also hear Paul McCartney singing bass underneath Michael during ‘the girl is mine’ climax. interesting arrangement.

the impact of ‘thriller’ is the legacy of it. i think the right approach was taken, based on what little I’ve seen and read.

I’m so excited 😆 I think this will probably be my favourite documentary. I’m just looking forward to seeing/hearing Michael tell his story from this era.

I love the late ‘83 eyebrows (no one talks about them).

The Estate: hmmmmmm yeah no lol how bout more Broadway shows
 
That victory tour footage was JAW DROPPINGLY CLEAR! Jesus! Release a god damn concert in that quality! Release all of the recording sessions and BTS (behind the scenes since apparently I now have to clarify) footage etc and we’ll all be happy campers! I don’t give a flying **** about tik tok mentions, interviews with people that weren’t actually apart of the album. I also don’t give a damn if Quincy has become a windbag the past few years or not, the man is one of the greatest producers to ever do it and responsible for the 3 greatest albums of all time! Give that man some respect!!

I am really excited about the docu and the overhelming positiv reviews on the internet from fans who saw it.
Yesterday I left the forum and all was positive, then comes a user with a not good review and the bahsing began.

Sometime I don`t get it, I hope the docu can be seen on good air-times all over the world. I am confident now that the documentation will let the audience in awe with Michael and is able to attract new fans.

Yeah, it seems like fans were thrilled up until one user shared a middling review, then suddenly every positive review was irrelevant. It’s moments like this when it feels like this fan base thrives off of negativity and pessimism. We’re getting the doc next month, and the version that was shown hasn’t been finalized; writing it off already makes no sense.

I think my fave thing about this little clip is Michael being so Michael. After Motown 25 Fred Astaire said:

"You’re a hell of a mover. Man, you really put them on their asses last night... You’re an angry dancer. I’m the same way. I used to do the same thing with my cane."

and when Michael is talking about that he can't bring himself to say 'asses'. So cute!
