After Seeing The Movie..
I notice after watching the film slot of you seem to be talking about Michael like he's not here anymore. Do you guys think Michael is gone? I feel kind of indifferent. I walked away from the theater not knowing wat to think or how to feel. Do you feel that now that a lot of what we speculated regarding the movie, didn't actually happen, are you let down? Do you think he's really dead?

Re: After Seeing The Movie..
If he really is gone, I am switching to researching the illuminati.
The other day it hit me.
Remember how that guy in the police department stepped down?
It doesn't make sense that he would step down if it were a hoax
he would want to be involved.
however if the illuminati were involved, he would step down because of danger.
I'm really not sure what to believe. What I do know is there is 22 hours until I see TII and I cant wait another minute!!! ahh I'm going insane.

Re: After Seeing The Movie..
After seeing the movie, I am much more convinced that he is in fact alive. There is no mention of death in the movie at all, most of documentaries made for him includes "Michael Jackson 1958-2009" there's none of that in the film, and the way Michael moved is a statement that he is very healthy. I thought I will be emotional during the film, before I went inside the theater I have butterflies in my stomach but after seeing it I felt light. But you're right nothing that we speculated didn't actually happen. Maybe he'll comeback in a most unexpected way, you know to truly shock the world.

I'm seeing it tonight, but I had already had it in my mind that I wouldn't be affected one way or the other. I don't really think the movie has anything to do with the hoax.

Re: After Seeing The Movie..
Over the weekend while I was in LA helping a friend shoot a music video for some glam band I was losing hope. Now, after seeing the movie, I am now so confused and let's just say, something definitely ain't right. My friend who went to the movie with me last night walked away from the theatre very suspicious. She was even picking a few things out in the movie. lol For one, there was a part when Michael said he wanted to save his voice. A crew member busted up laughing. My friend asked, Why? If he didn't plan on doing the concerts then why try to save his voice and why did that one crew member laugh? Anyone catch that?
So yeah, I'm not leaving hoaxland quite yet.

Re: After Seeing The Movie..
i watched it til the very end and i really loved it! he sounded great. yeah, he did look thinner in some scenes...maybe it was the pants? i dunno. but he did look healthy and it seemed like the further the movie went on, the more hype he was. and i certainly still believe he's alive. especially not seeing any "1958-2009" or "RIP", unless i just missed it or something. i thought it was suspicious to not include it, but it had a "dedicated to" part, for his children.
the only thing i'm thinking now is, where do we go from here? we were all looking forward to the movie, whether it had clues or not...but now i just feel like i dunno what to look forward to now and btw, when is chief bratton stepping down?

Chief Bratton doesn't retire until next year so I don't think this has any bearing on the hoax as he is at the age of retirement anyway. Unless he has been paid a large amount of money for services rendered.........

Same here,
That was a clue to me right there .
No RIP or dates....
I also thought I would get emotional. BUT i was happy to see him and I did not get the feeling he was ill.
He moved like he was 30.
My FAITH continues to remain strong.
THIS IS NOT IT.
CAN'T BE

i'm thinking maybe this is why liz taylor was so insistent on us seeing it again and again. she was raving so much about it on her tweets. i saw the movie last night and there's no way (at least for me) that i could have sat there and enjoyed michael while trying to dig up clues and take notes at the same time.

Sorry guys-you were right, its just I read somewhere he was retiring next year. He isn't retiring altogether though. Read the following;
Chief Bratton Leaves LAPD
Share
By Brian Doherty
August 7, 2009 10:12 AM
LAPD Chief William Bratton makes a surprise move out of his office and out of town. His timing and his next step are both in question.
Kevin Roderick at L.A. Observed does a great job summing up the various points and questions raised by Bratton's abrupt decision. Among the facts, reactions, and speculations:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Bratton is staying until Oct. 31 -- a week after the new LAPD headquarters opens -- then going to run a subsidiary focused on international police consulting for Altegrity Inc...
* Villaraigosa said Bratton's successor could come from within the LAPD but would have to emerge from a national search as the best candidate....
* Bratton....declared victory in professionalizing the department and in using the LAPD to ease racial tensions in Los Angeles, adding that "we are now a majority minority department, We look like and are the Los Angeles community."
* Villaraigosa... said...he didn't learn until last night that Bratton was leaving. The chief dodged a question from KFWB's Claudia Peschiutta about whether the discussions about the job began while [Michael] Cherkasky [who runs the company Bratton is going to work for] was still the LAPD's federal monitor.

* Pseudonymous LAPD cop Jack Dunphy weighs in for the department's old school clique, writing at the National Review: "He leaves the LAPD in a far better condition than when he arrived, and for all my many criticisms of Bratton over the years, that fact simply cannot be ignored...But I will say this: It was the corrosive influence of identity politics that burdened the LAPD with the affable but hapless Willie Williams and the tyrannical Bernard Parks, under both of whom the department suffered badly. Such influences will no doubt come into play in the coming months, but I hope those charged with selecting the new chief will be wise enough to put them aside. May the best man (or woman) win."</BLOCKQUOTE>
