Michael, the movie

[Anonymous]

This reminds me of graceland. If you go, it shows Elvis as young Elvis at his prime. It does not touch on the drug use, obesity, treatment of his partners, etc.

And those of you insisting it's not a good movie...who died and made you the arbiter of taste? It's a movie, not a doctoral thesis. It's okay to watch things that aren't serious for a couple hours.

Yes, that is correct.

Just saw a clip from the movie where Michael is trying to get his music videos played on MTV and the head of CBS records says they don't play Black artists.

I was not around for the dawn of MTV. Is this true? They didn't play Black artists for the first two years of their existence? Google says Billie Jean was the first music video by a Black artist to get aired.

Very True. I watched MTV from it's start and they did not play black artists so to see Michael Jackson on the channel was HUGE!!!!
