“My brother’s movie ‘This Is It’ is truly riveting. Michael is electrifying! We get a glimpse of a true genius at work. His passionate message for healing the world, saving the planet and our children’s futures is something he was always striving for in his lifetime.”
— Jackie Jackson, one of Michael’s older brothers, gushes about “This Is It,” the movie about Michael’s final days, which opens late tomorrow night. Many of the Jackson clan, including matriarch Katherine, have no plans to see the movie any time soon, saying they need a little more distance before watching it. What about you? Will you watch “This Is It”? [via TMZ]

this movie thing irritates me because if michael jackson were alive, this would be the last thing he’d want. it gets to me that his death is the best thing to ever happen to tht family, theyre all using his death to try to get famous again or be in the spot light. michael will surely be turning in his grave somewhere during the premiere of this movie!

I dunno, qnzmami718, when you’re a celebrity, this is just par for the course. He and his whole family certainly did their share of media-seeking stunts over the years. (Dangling babies from balconies, wardrobe malfunctions, excessive plastic surgeries, etc.)
I would probably go see it, if it weren’t so hyped with the limited viewings, I don’t like crowds. But having been a teenager in the 80s means I literally grew up with Michael Jackson as a household name, and I watched as he went from pop superstar… to somewhat of a (don’t jump on me for saying this, please) but somewhat of a freak. He was extremely talented, but he was a bit of a nut.
If it ever comes out on DVD, I’d probably rent it.

I’ll skip it. I agree that this is just more exploitation for a man who was exploited his whole life. I mean his father is auctioning off a chance to watch the movie with him for $3,000, Joe Jackson puts the -y in tacky, he’s so gross. I just think this is all too soon, with the movie and the reality show they are planning, it’s all just too much.
