Go see This is it. Really.

Anyone who listened to Michael Jackson at some point (or at all points) in their life needs to go see "This is It." Seriously. It is an amazing and exhilarating look at creativity. I found myself smiling through much of it, waving my arms. People talking back to the screen. Though these are literally rehearsal tapes, once in a while Michael was in a zone singing or dancing and time sort of stands till. The principal dancers he chose grew up watching and learning his moves... one of them flew in from Australia when he heard about the audition. During "Beat It" my abs were literally twitching just watching them.... sounds weird, but it was almost like dancing it myself. Singers, awesome. Crazy great musicians including a 24 year old Australian woman who can shred a guitar with the best of them... she may BE the best of them. The glimpses of sets, costumes, special digital effects that would have been are spectacular. Michael was a showman - not just a dancer or singer, but a director, a visionary. I know, this sounds crazy, but go see the film. You'll see what I mean. And then, go home and dance. Or, better yet, call me and lets go OUT dancing.
