Bc it's way more interesting to think about the lyrics of Price of Fame. Or it is if you are me and you only just listened to the song for the first time yesterday.

Sorry! I am seriously obsessed with the lyrics, atm. I cannot stop thinking about them. My brain is in a right tizz!

This is very true and this means that I am way off-topic, lol. :ROFLMAO:

Being serious for a moment, T40 did not hold my interest for very long. A few days, IIRC. I do love WDYK and CGOOTR but haven't listened to them since November last year. Soon after T40 dropped I listened to C1945 and Dream Away and that was it, I was lost. C1945 I listened to once - oh, and GOAL, also - but DA I listened to a few times and it completely knocked T40 out of the picture. I just haven't bothered with it since.

Recently I listened to Cheater and Monkey Business for the first time and that was mind blowing but now I've listened to PoF, my god, it's just so out there. I've only listened once but I have it in my head and I have the lyrics.

It's going to be a loooooooonnnnggg time before I get back to T40.
 
Maybe this thread will be unpinned soon

Billie Jean ain't in 4K, but the Off The Wall clips and Motown 25 also aren't and probably never will be, so I suppose it's not that far out of field. Still hugely disappointing though.

There's a huge difference since BJ was shot on film, but not the others.

I hope Lord Jackson steals every song from Sony's vault. And the docu. And the biopic footage. And they record the Broadway shows in 4K. It's what they deserve. To get hit where it hurts.

I personally wouldn't go that far. Mind you, I think this entire thing was poorly handled, but I've seen enough entitled thieves for the time being.

Still not invested in this documentary, but I do feel bad for those who are.
 
I still can not believe they put soo much effort into making a doc about Thriller - show it to small audiences at small fan events - and then nothing...

Not the momentum (if there ever was one?) is totally dead and gone... - If they drop a doc next month and link it to T40 it would just be weird and not make sense at all.

I do not understand The Estate and how they handle things...

Thriller and Beat It drops in 4K with NO PROMO, nothing. And the planned doc never comes...

Thriller 3D was basically the same thing

Thriller 3D was maybe even more weird. - They spend a lot of money transfering to 4K - and afterediting into 3D - and if I remember correct they had to recreate some of the music elements too. - That's quite a long, expensive and demanding proces.

Then they showed it for 14 days before a horror-movie... - Then for 5 years absolutely nothing happend.... Made no sense.

Was it saved for T40? - No... They just randomly switched the existing version into the 4K version without noticing. - Only days after they made a little facebook/twitter status about the Thriller and Beat It 4K videos... - So why did The Estate just have Thriller 4K for 5 years without doing anything. Weird.

It was shown at the end of November. I honestly didn’t even think the preview would happen until the day of. It wasn’t fully completed yet (I’d say about 85% - there are some “filler” video shots over the audio in certain parts). They made such a big deal about no phones etc that I really thought it was going to be released. However there was no post-discussion or follow up survey with fans or anything like that. As a long time fan I was surprised at the “new” footage I hadn’t seen before - aside from the live footage the press conference at the museum of natural history and the interview in what seems to be the thriller set.

Edit: I forgot it's april 1st. but to my defence, it seemed like something the estate would actually do, just dropping the documentary wihtout any promotion.

Tbh, for a couple of seconds there I did have to think about it. Bc, I agree, it is *exactly* the sort of bonkers thing they would do.

Then I checked the calendar. :ROFLMAO:
 
one of the issues brought up from reviews was the documentary looked unfinished with filler material and not cohesive in story telling. Might be taking longer because the Estate is ironing out those hiccups by removing and adding what's needed.

While this would make sense, they could have avoided all of this by shooting & editing the doc before the T40 release. Why screen it unfinished in the first place smh.
