What's wrong with it? Motown 25 was the event where the world first noticed this. I don't understand why you can't even look forward to a positive documentary coming out that celebrates MJ and hopefully introduces new people to his music. And no one is forced to look at it.

Saying the same qoutes is what's wrong with it! Why even have these people on it? I wanted a sonic fantasy with this footage & music & interviews from people who actually worked on the record & his brothers. It's a few people from that era still alive. Thriller influenced the world... we get it already🙄
 
Sad that this is looking to be another Spike-type drudge. As much as I think some positive reinforcement from mainstream celebrities is important given the circumstances, the fact that over half the features have no purpose bothers me a bit. I’m not here to listen to Usher talk about how much he likes Thriller, I’m here to hear about how the album was made.

Agreed. We KNOW how much everyone loves Thriller - that's why it's the biggest-selling album of all time. :ROFLMAO: :sneaky:

It's likely small moments to break up the pacing. It's a documentary, but that doesn't mean it's a 3 hour lecture.

We'd need a seminar for something like that.

Just wait until you see the segment about tik tok and BTS!!! Hehehe
 
An in depth docu series would probably be needed to cover all the work done on each album.
As long as the doc is well made, I'm ok with it. (I need to see more of that VT footage!)

Dangerous deserves a project/doc next imo. It's time, estate. Mj released music in the 90s too.
 
there’s already an entire ongoing series called ‘stories in the room’, which covers the technical aspects of the album. it’s hosted by one of the engineers anthony marinelli, and he interviews many of the people involved with the original album (except quincy). there’s even a whole thread on this board about the series. they’re on all social media platforms. how many of you actually watch that?

I'm only watching this cause of the HD Victory Tour footage. And that's it. Hope it's there's a good amount of it.

And this is all most people will say, even if it was 5 hours of literal behind the scenes studio footage and 3 minutes of concert.

From what I recall I think the Brooke segment is archival footage / interview not something new

Brooke was a talking head if I recall correctly. Polo G was only in hear to say that he sampled smooth criminal in his song which has nothing to with Thriller lol. The tiktok thing was also kind of embarrassing. I liked the footage though, but they also totally skipped 1 or 2 songs which I found strange.

Quincy almost certainly refused to participate.

See, this is so weird. When your doc is barely an hour and a half long, you shouldn’t waste a second on anything other than the album. I have no idea what Nelson is doing here. (Emphasis on Nelson. The director. The person who organized and edited the documentary. The person in charge. Estate blaming here is so nonsensical and lazy. Studio interference finger pointing only goes so far.)
