Gonna go see Michael Jackson's This Is It tonight.

Yep! I sure am! It's funny because, in most places around the country, the showings are sold out. But not here in Rexburg. Very few people around here are interested in seeing it. And I can't say that I blame them. There's obvious controversy surrounding Michael Jackson as a public figure, and I'm very aware of that. I think his life and death is a tragic tale. I think he's severely misunderstood, and judged as being something he isn't. Now, this isn't just blind fan worship or anything. Nothing like it. I've simply paid attention to the accusations and facts, and things like that, and it just never added up to me. Although, with that said, I can also see how it is very easy to be convinced that the things he's been accused of are, in fact, true. I don't believe it, but I can see it. For that reason alone, I don't blame anyone for not wanting to see this movie, and I have no desire to pressure anyone into seeing it.

I have mixed expectations for this. It is a documentary, and I very rarely have any desire to go and pay money to see a documentary in the theater. But I have huge respect for Michael Jackson as a performer, and an entertainer. So basically, it could either be hugely entertaining, or painfully boring. We'll see. I'll post a review of it here tonight after I see it.
