I know that 3D movies are all the rage these days. I haven’t been to see any of them yet but now my interest is growing. There have been rumblings on MJ forums that there may be 3D release of This Is It on the cards and on 19th August the British Board of Film Classification listed a movie as Michael Jackson’s This Is It [3D]. If this is true it would be amazing. Would love to hear your thoughts!

So the Blu Ray/DVD (Blu Ray for me) has finally arrived in the UK! I received my copy in the post a few days back and immediately I loaded up the extra’s, I felt like I was hunting for new footage again, just like when you’d hear a new video of Michael had been posted of him exiting his doctors, etc.

The extra’s just filled me up, my jaw dropped 5,6,7 times in the space of 10 minutes. Its such a shame to not have been able to see This Is It take place, however I “feel totally nourished by it.” The DVD gave me a new understanding of what could of been and was able to fill gaps in my imagination as to how the show was going to take place.

Seeing Travis and Michael in studio working on dance routines (working on “Drill” I believe) just shows the creative energy both of them had together, always looking to create something extraordinarily different.

Meeting the dancers was a nice input on the DVD. Getting an insight into their own feelings and sense of belonging within this Michael Jackson production, really hit hard. The chemistry was perfect. You could see it in them, you could see it in Michael.

Need I say anything on the film itself? It’s quite self-explanatory!

We now have the DVD and Blu Ray as our last documentation of Michael, however we can not let this be a negative view. Make it positive! Show it to everyone, family and friends, your children, your children’s children. Show the world who Michael really was and always was.

Michael may be gone, but his legend will always be here.

With the L.O.V.E.

Here is a quick look at the UK DVD release of TII from HMV with their exclusive 3D backstage passes.

It may seem strange that this is my first proper review of ‘This Is It’ but it only seems that now is the right time. I saw TII in the cinema on the day of release and this is the only time. I haven’t seen it since, I didn’t download it, I wanted to wait for the release of the DVD because I wanted to preserve the magic. So tonight I sat down and watched what I consider the best movie of all time once more (thank you to HMV for delivering it 3 days early) and emotions ran high.

I can’t believe how (as one of the UK tag lines says) ‘utterly engaging’ this film is. If you take it back to basics this is Michael Jackson rehearsing is an empty stadium. For any other artist this really would be a performance in an empty space, but this was MJ, he filled every single inch. When I first saw TII in the cinema I was so emotional I really didn’t take it in but now being able to see it at home with the people I love really makes me and everyone around me realise that this would have been the greatest live show on earth. A friend who I went to see it with said to me that they couldn’t believe the amount of work that went into a concert of this magnitude, and maybe other artists don’t work as hard to bring to their fans what they need, and boy, as fans we needed Michael, and he was really gonna deliver.

This It It is all we have of Michael, his legacy, his dream. Legends never die and Michael Jackson is forever. Share you DVD, Blu Ray, USB sticks, every format you can get your hand on with everyone you love, because L.O.V.E. is all that it’s about.

Michael Jackson Forever!!!

I didn’t realise that we were getting the TII USB stick preloaded with the movie in the UK. Now I have something else to splash out on. Thanks to Play.com!

Thanks to AntHam for these excellent photos of promotional material in Bangkok!

Look what I saw when I went out today. Not to say that I would swag it but I did weigh up my options. Unfortunatley the security guard looked in better shape than me.
