Jul 20 2009Don't Worry, Michael Jackson Will Be in Theaters Soon
Not so fast, Michael Jackson's corpse! There's still meat to suck off them bones!
Variety reports Sony is close to negotiating a $50 million deal that would allow them access to the 80 hours of footage of the late pop star's final rehearsals currently held by AEG Entertainment. If the deal goes through, the studio plans to release the rehearsal as a feature film that would also include "at least three videos, including an alternative version of Jackson's Thriller." (This version, perhaps?) Kenny Ortega, director of High School Musical, shot the rehearsal tapes and will likely direct.
Boy, I didn't care at all about seeing a Michael Jackson concert a month ago, but now that I know every Moonwalk will like watching a spirit shuffle backwards into his own waiting grave, sign me up!

The picture of Michael took a while to come up, and all I had for a while was the picture of the "Other Mother" from the Coraline advert on the side of the page.
It took me a while to notice.

If the court had played Moonwalker in court, he would have been in prison getting the "help" he needed. The film's tagline was "a film like no other" which was correct in that it was an application form to be lord of the pederasts

Hey, who's writing this; "meat on them bones" stuff? In fact, everything in this column appears to be written by some desperate to be smug, homo writer, and i use the term writer loosely. I really hate this kind of pseudo entertainment journalism. Please die of AIDS or something, hmmm?
