I think that's it. Thanks!

Try THIS version instead...

Watched one of my favorites this morning- "Journey to the Center of the Earth" - the 1959 movie starring James Mason and Pat Boone. It's still one of my favorites.

We just got the Blu Ray for 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno.' While it is a relatively short movie, there is another 3-4 hours of extras on that disk

I was assuming that The Artist would be a Avatar-like gimmick-fest, but it was fantastic. Loved it so much.

So we saw This Is It (the Michael Jackson movie they made of his rehearsals). VERY pleasantly surprised that we enjoyed it as much as we did. Only a couple of bits of people gushing about what a great guy he was - just a lot great performance footage, even if it was all rehearsal. Some of the performances were lacking because he was saving his voice, bit overall, he still had it up to the end, both vocally and his dancing. Billie Jean was the standout performance.

It looked like it was gonna be a helluva show. Catch it if you can (we caught it on Palladia).

This Is It was a good reminder of what an amazing performer Jackson was. I'll never be able to idolize him, or set aside concerns about his troubling personal life, but there's nobody else like him. (And for as astoundingly popular and influential as he was, I don't recall that anyone was really trying to imitate him or his style at any point.) Has anyone managed a really good, in-depth biography of him yet?

Timberlake is the only one who can pull it off, in dance and vocals.

So, I guess he could star in the inevitable biopic?
