I believe it's Captain EO, not EOS.

I'll definitely check it out when it's released on blu-ray. #michaeljacksonmovie

I finally got myself to see it tonight and the movie has reminded me what gift MJ was to to us. After the movie i felt sad he has leave us too soon, but his legacy will always lives on in hearts and minds of people around the world. Ortega really did a good job put this documentary together and brought the real Michael to the world. I remember listening to his music in during elementary school and still have few of his albums CD somewhere. #michaeljacksonmovie

I just saw it tonight. The most amazing thing I took away from the show was the mastery of the music(and this encompases everything about music), that Michael owned...if there was something even a little off in anything, he was on it. He was a true perfectionist, but not an ass about it. He didn't light up anyone when he was telling them that they were "off". He kept it professional...and yes, I teared up numerous times...a good documentary to see if you liked MJ.

I gotta say he put on one hell of a last show through this movie. I was skeptical at first thinking it was going to be like watching a freak show, exploitation, etc. The movie captured what made him a musical genius. To be able to still sing and dance like he did was incredible. You could see him in his zone, and how much he wanted the show to be the best it could be for his fans. He still had it. The "rehearsal" was no rehearsal (it was insane). The whole world wasn't going to be able to see "the big 50 shows", but the "rehearsal" ended up being "the big show". Can't agree with Brian more. #michaeljacksonmovie

Hell, I teared up like crazy. Also, to anyone who hasn't seen this, be sure to see this on the big screen. I worked on the trailer, so I'd seen most of it alone on small screens, and it just didn't have the same impact. Finally seeing it in the proper context blew me away. #michaeljacksonmovie

Well said Brian. He WAS weird...but he was an incredible artist and a genius. I was glad to take my young children to see his amazing skills and work ethic. #michaeljacksonmovie

I've never been a big Jackson fan, but he's obviously a big influence on music lovers, and the choreography of This Is It was stunning. It is insurpassable; I don't know of anyone else that makes their performance breathe like Jackson did. The moves he chose, and the fact that humans can synchronise them perfectly was just amazing, and I'm sad it won't be able to be experienced fully by most people of my generation and beyond.

He is the greatest entertainer that ever lived. We will never see another musician as widely popular as him. Music has changed, there is too much of it and it is too easily available. There are so many niche genres and underground musicians that it's almost looked down upon to like a song that is popular. There no longer is an artist that everyone likes and some of today's popular music can barely be considered art.

People of every generation alive today know Michael Jackson's music. I saw a two year old doing MJ's moves the other day on TV. I can't wait to buy this documentary on blu-ray. #michaeljacksonmovie

@Digo: the greatest entertainer that ever lived? what does that even mean? I don't know how you can say that... or judge that... or justify that... I'd buy "most popular" but "greatest" might be stretching the depth of his repertoire a wee bit? #michaeljacksonmovie

@Digo: Agree or disagree with him, you gotta admit that George Carlin's candor is highly respectable.

You gotta give it to a man who tells it like it is. #michaeljacksonmovie

@Digo: I think we are arguing sensless stuff, I think that MJ is just getting "legendize" the same way it happened to Lennon. IMPO I think he was a great artist, but not the greatest one. I think theres too much hype for his death. Just a few months back, media saw him as a pedophile crazy celebrity and now everything was false accusations, normal errors, etc etc etc.
In other words I just hate the "dead hype" everyone making profit of it and now hes an untouchable Hero.
Not that this is your case but I have heard many people who never even bought an album saying "O man he was the best, the greatest" And if you asked them before he died they would just say hmmm so so. #michaeljacksonmovie

I had every intention of taking the easy route and poking fun at you with an MJ joke. Then, as I read the story, I remembered how much I loved him when I was little. I had a vinyl-velco wallet with the Thriller cover on it. I was actually a huge fan. As I got older, it became less cool to like him, right up to the point that it became completely uncool. When he died, I was immediately overwhelmed by this feeling that I had somehow abandoned something from my childhood. The point of all of this is that I WANT to see this movie, but up until just a few minutes ago, I only SECRETLY wanted to see this movie.
Thank you, not for making it cool, but for reminding me to choose for myself. #michaeljacksonmovie

@Scratic: I believe it were the issues within the controversy that divides us.

Settlements or not, the implications of something so inconscionable is bound to make us as a whole think differently of a person.

The artist can be the greatest ever, but the one's own conscious can make them feel compelled to wish him damnation.

That said, it never meant that one couldn't admire their works.

Right, Roman? #michaeljacksonmovie
