[DEDICATION] Hail to the King

Need I say more?

Only because I'm finally going to see the movie tomorrow :) Yes, I do realize it's been out nearly a week.

A little birdie told me that this is supposed to be a tremendously inspirational film. Despite the obvious fact that I'm no performer, I do intend to make copious amounts of mental notes about this man. An epic icon of our time. He defined new boundaries for music, dance, and fashion. I'm certainly not a fan of the glittery glove and the uncontrollable groin thrusting, per se, but it was still undeniably different and unique. It's why we shall remember him forever.

I suppose I'll do a follow up edit of what I thought of the movie and harass you all until you give in to see it. I expect it will be quite good.

RIP MJ.

****edit

Just got home from the movie (and a little bit of boozing ;P)

Incredible artist. I'm sick of hearing about how some people are saying that they'd never go see it because he "really isn't that important"...
Hey, morons. You know his music, don't you? And you know what the moonwalk is? There's no denying that he influenced so many genres of art, therefore making him an icon of monumental proportions. He made mistakes, but it doesn't change the fact that he was a true artist.

A particular detail that I loved about it was his passion about the show. He spent an obscene amount of money on his concerts because everything he did was to give his audience/fans an unforgettable experience. Everything was focused on his supporters. Some artists really lose that passion when the paychecks start rolling in. They lose their focus.

It's only out for another week and a half, I believe. I strongly suggest people watch it! Whether you're a true fan of the "king of pop" or not, it was inspirational to see someone who was truly passionate about what he did. Not to mention the fact that he used his music for what art was always intended for. It looked pretty, but like Banksy, He always had a message, and he passed it through a medium that is more prevalent and influential than just a billboard or magazine ad. It really doesn't hit you until the end of the film that he's actually gone. [sobsob].

Watch it. Go now.

And on that note...I think I'll go practice my moonwalk and scrounge around the internet for shimmering, glitzy-glam trousers, or iridescent, partially see-through button downs. HEEEEEH.
