[...] an MJ movie is the one thing we all would've absolutely expected and a decent way to pass some time speculating on, [...]
Basically, this.
Full disclosure: even though I'm popping in and out of this thread I'm still not expecting to actually watch this thing. I still have zero interest in watching
anyone play Michael. No disrespect to Michael impersonators and no problem with an actor trying to portray Michael. I just don't want to see it. I would always prefer to watch the real thing. Simple.
But, as you said, a biopic was always likely to happen even with all the obvious challenges. If they create a good product it could be very positive for Michael.
My interest in this thing is more intellectual, like it's a kind of puzzle. How in the hell can you show Michael's complicated, drama filled life in only 3 hours? What will they include, what will they leave out? All the obvious questions. I do find that interesting to speculate about.
I wouldn't know. I've only ever watched two in my entire life but, generally, even just the idea of a biopic doesn't interest me. Especially not for Michael. I have no plans to watch this thing. I might change my mind. Only time will tell.
they literally have the Victory, Bad, Dangerous and History tour concerts all in 4K
I don't care about 4K, tbh, but I would like BWT 1987, please. All of it. In decent quality. I'm sick of watching crap quality YT clips.
and all of u happy with an impersonator looking like a clown in that make up.
Nope. Not me.
I was interested in all of those positive responses to the 'trailer' which was screened recently. And then I saw a fan-made mock-up of a big photo of Jaafar on the cinema screen at the Lionsgate thing. Kind of like, hey, this is what it could look like when it hits the big screen. That sort of thing. Anyway, put me right off. Did not like it at all. I've seen fan-made mock-ups of how Jaafar might look as mature Michael. Didn't do anything for me.
People will enjoy this thing and I'm pleased for them. So far it doesn't look like I'll be joining them no matter how much I post here.
No one moves like MJ. No one looks like MJ. No one sings like MJ.
I've said exactly this. The very first photo of Jaafar, that b&w one, I didn't like it at all. It's a good photo and I understand why people got excited but I don't like it. No disrespect to Jaafar. If it wasn't him playing Michael it would be someone else and everyone seems to be raving that Jaafar is doing a great job. Me, I'm happy watching the real thing.
Biopic's just a movie and Jaafar's cast as MJ. That's it, no need for drama bro.
Exactly. It's a done deal. We're all free to spend money on this thing or not. I'm as uncertain about this thing as I was when it was first announced.
