This is the poster for This is It, the movie made from footage of Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for the concert tour he never did, which will play for two weeks starting October 28th. I admit it’s kind of a cool poster, if you can ignore the whole blatantly-capitalizing-on-the-man’s-death, from-the-director-of-High-School-Musical aspect of it. It also promises Michael Jackson “like you’ve never seen him before.” Now, I know that’s a cliché and thus easy for stupid people to type, but… really? Michael Jackson? Dude’s had three cameras on him practically since birth. You promise MJ “like we’ve never seen him before” and you better have footage of him drinking a 40 on the sh’tter.
Look for tickets wherever Slim Jims are sold.

“Michael Jackson like you’ve never seen him before” simply means posthumously.
I’m kinda disappointed that they’re only using rehearsal footage. They need to stuff that fucker like a taxidermist, string his ass up and give me a new concert or . . . DEAD2ME!!
“Michael Jackson like you’ve never seen him before”
So he won’t be straddling a 9 year old anemic child?
Is it symbolic of something that a hat, his head and extended arm, and stardust surrounds his junk?
He named his concert after Fred Sanford’s dying words?
In a related story Miley Cyrus’s concert movie will hit theaters early July. Aptly named, “This Is Shit.”
Guy’cha, are there any Michael Jackson jokes left that have never been made? Seriously, for a guy that everyone imagines as a noseless, monkey-fucking paedophile, if they wanted to show us MJ like “we’ve never seen him before”, he’d pretty much have to be vannin’! (Get it???)

MJ “like you’ve never seen him before” used to mean a trip to the Sheriff’s Office to describe the identifying features of his penis.
You know…by the way Michael probably looks right now…they could easily do a remake of Thriller and save a fortune on make-up.
Ten bucks says that some publicist had to tell Joe Jackson that bringing Michael’s corpse to special screenings and stringing him up like a marionette is a bad idea.
MJ “like you’ve never seen him before” = having sex with an adult female?
Peet-He ALMOST used that joke. :P
Actually, The Mighty One wonders if we should have qualified “human” in with “adult female”?
“like you’ve never seen him before.”
i.e. “culturally relevant” (for anyone born after 1994)
“……so Moonwalk your way to the box office for this Thriller of a Bad movie….”
“…..the best Michael Jackson movie since Free Willy!”
“….you’ll enjoy this movie so much, YOU’LL become an androgynous drug-addict!”
…Like you’ve never seen him before – as a black man with a loving father.
It’s a shame Tyler Perry can’t quite squeeze into the skin suit. Black folks might have gone to see it.
Something tells me Michael’s “It” tried to Fit in places where young boys Sit.
It’s the Summer of Death. MJ is dead. And he still won’t fucking die altogether.
Somebody needs to tell Huey Lewis. He’s been asking for confirmation of this for a very long time.
I’m a little disappointed that they actually buried him. I was starting to think that his family would turn Neverland Ranch into a haunted house by Halloween, and have a stuffed MJ corpse that jumps out at people at the end of the tour.
I’m sure if someone pitched that idea to his dad, he would dig up MJ with his bare hands.
Is This It?
The Luchador “. . . you’ll enjoy this movie so much, YOU’LL become an androgynous drug-addict!”
Too late.
