Michael Jackson: This Is Really Going To Be It (For Now)
Tickets for the two-week engagement of Michael Jackson’s posthumously pieced-together concert film This Is It went on sale over the weekend, and a cursory glance at the movie’s official ticket-selling site reveals lots of midnight showings in a way to build anticipation. (Preview screenings in Los Angeles have already apparently been exhausted of their advance-ticket supply.) The the footage of Jackson rehearsing “Human Nature” that was placed online last week apparently won’t be in the flick, a scenario that hints at there somehow being “better” footage out there. I’m still undecided on whether or not I’m going to head out to the movie—while that “Human Nature” clip was crazy moving if you just listened to it, it was also very difficult to watch thanks to the visual effect of Jackson’s frail body and the knowledge, thanks to the comprehensive coverage of his death, that he was basically filled to the brim with painkillers and other pharmaceutical products. (That said, I wouldn’t be averse to maybe setting up an Idolator group sale?) ThisIsItTickets.com [Official site]
