Michael Jackson doing a Werewolf Movie'
Hey folks, Harry here... This came out of the Daily Mirror... Is it possible that Michael Jackson is making an homage to THE AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON... Has enough time actually passed to do homages to 80's flicks? An Homage to RAMBO? XANADU? ROAD WARRIOR? CONAN THE BARBARIAN? POLTERGEIST? I suppose... After all the kids that grew up with those films are now directing movies... So why the hell not? Be interested to hear more about this if it is true though... I'm on it.
Dear Harry
Long time reader (occasional contributor...although I don't think my stuff has ever been used ? obviously I'm a little behind the times ?!!!)
I was reading in the Daily Mirror (UK) that Michael Jackson is trying to reinvent himself as a Producer/Director with the hope of making some homage to American Werewolf in London (which as we know was the inspiration for Thriller - Landis et al) called simply "Werewolf" by investing in the fledgling production company MDP based in Canada ? The proposed investment was cited at £70 million (UK)
Many thanks
Adam.

Mike sure wants those Thriller video glory days to come back, doesn't he?
-
I've said it before. This man should be shot out into space so he can find an alien culture more suited to his personality. He has no place in the film business. The man is a cultural train wreck. It's sad because last year showed that no one cares about his new music any more. Now he's going to embarass himself another way. Unlike Madonna, he was unable to invent himself (unless you consider plastic surgery reinvention) and will forever be stuck in the 80's. Keep him away from Edgar Allan Poe, away from Werewolves, just keep him AWAY.
-
Why why why ?! Remember years ago when he was supposed to be starring in a film called "Midknight" ? Whatever happened to that ?

Anything with that kid-toucher is going to be terrible.
by rampagingtroll
Man, oh man, oh man. If it happens, it will tank. Then me and my friends will sneak into it and laugh and laugh and laugh. It'll fall deeply into the "it's so bad, it's funny" category. All your bitches belong to me, asswipes! - Rampaging Troglodite Troll P.S. - Speaking of Kid Touchers, I wonder how long it will take that ever-present negative-on-everything bitch mindycohn2 to post. You know her daddy had to have given her a pounding when she was a kid - that's the only reason I can come up with for her constantly negative attitude. Mindy, you know Daddy loves you. Ha!
-
But what he doesn't seem to realize was that back in his Thriller days he (a) had talent, respect, and clout, and (b) he didn't look like some artificially-created albino alien, nor did he act like one as well. Ugh - that nose just scares the crap out of me. And the surgical mask? What the hell was up with that?
-
3rd best album ever, behind The Smiths "The Queen Is Dead" and "Hatful of Hollow". I wanna Be Starting Something...oww! Oh the Moonwalker on the Genesis as you yanks call it was fantastic.
True Jackson hasn't done anything good in a decade but you cant beat those childhood memories of controlling Michael round a building saving little children from cupboards and making guys dance until they blow up. Sigh. -
This is from a UK tabloid with delusions of grandeur, therefore hopefully total bullshit. Hopefully MJ's next crazy idea will involve cryogenic freezing until 2150.
-
How anybody could do what Jackson's had done to his face is beyond all human comprehension. Every time the world thinks he's fallen as far as he can go, he keeps falling. Sad.
-
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! Now where was I? Oh yes....this is a great idea. Not.

Will the werewolf chase young boys and bite them in odd places?
-
This is too weird for words. Hopefully no studio exec is imbecilic enough to let the Queen of Pop play director. Or producer for that matter. My God, is he creepy nowadays. I think all those nights in that hyperbaric oxygen chamber bleached his skin.
-
Forget TTT, Forget Star Wars, this movie WILL be the shiznits.

saying such and such film would be great if it had werewolves in it?

Wasn't Michael Jackson that guy that runs the RAINBOW COALIT
by blue_vomit
Just kidding folks. I think that this freak might actually have the warped mind to do a GREAT werewolf flick. We already know that he has GAZILLIONS of dollars, so this flick will be well fincanced. And if the americans are not gonna buy tickets, he has millions of screaming japs and chinks that will. What is it about gooks and Michael Jackson?
-
That's what it'll be, Disney wolves moonwalking. Not even the furverts will go for this...
-
Werewolfs have faces and Michael Jackson doesn't. It just won't look real. What do you people think? I mean, shit! Michael Jackson's head looks like an wig on top of an egg. Just like that egg that Harry's shitting out in the top left-hand-corner of your screen.
-
another easy joke about Jacko
-
Is it possible this tidbit was actually written about the OTHER Michael Jackson - the CEO and production head who actually resides in England!?!? Just taking a guess, but as another pointed out, it's from the Mirror, so the credibility is dubious regardless of who the Jackson in question is.
-
Does anyone else remember that persistent rumor that Jackson was going to play the lead in a movie about Edgar Allen Poe? Yeah, nothing happened with that, either. This is just one of those things that pops up every once in a while, probably leaked out by one of Jackson's publicists as a form of audience testing. You know, like instead of getting a group of people in a room and asking them "would you like to see the King of Flop make a movie about werewolves?" they just throw the idea out to the tabloids and see how the general population reacts to it. Of course this is just a theory and most likely a false one.
-
...but the idea of Jacko doing
Edgar A. Poe intrigues me. The
guy can act, at least a little
bit, and given enough makeup
(like his "Ghosts" video) he might
even make a believable Poe. I'd
like to see him try to pull it
off -- as an actor. However, as a
writer/producer, he will
ruin anything he touches. His
artistic sensibilities are
juvenile. [insert obvious joke
here] He'd probably throw in a
scene with a group of kids
reacting with faux-astonishment
to Poe telling them a creepy
story. Virginia would probably
become a boy. You get the
picture. -

This TB is a joke: half the posters are disparaging the Mirror,
by barrelrider
He's a kiddie fiddler, is he? Then why was the ONLY child who tried to press charges the son of a clued-up Beverly Hills dentist who just HAPPENED to be in financial difficulty at the time? You think he's lightened his skin? How, pray tell, is that done? I'm not denying that the guy's never had surgery [lips and nose], but some of the horseshit written in the tabloids is so easily disproved it's frightening. Yet millions of people take their words as gospel. It's scary just how the media has this "power" over people. It should be US who has power over them, because we pay their salaries [remember?], but people are too fucking stupid to understand what's a real news story and what's there simply to encourage people to buy a newspaper.
-
BarrelRider, are you by any chance Micahel Jackson? Your defense of the man nobody in their right mind would ever want to defend is odd. And if you aren' MJ, could you ossibly be Liz Taylor, or Bubble the Chimp?Barrel and Bubbles both start with "B".

The best acting he ever did was the Diane Sawyer interview....
by fatal discharge
...where he and Lisa Marie Presley defended their so-called "marriage" and he said that there was nothing wrong with "sleeping" with children and that he would continue to do so. Maybe it was doing that love song to a rat in another horror film "Ben" that made him the freak he is today.
-
The single word sentiment is echoed every entertainment news day: WHY?
-
Imagine that: "Upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, over why my face has suddenly slid onto the hard-wood floor." Or something like that.

Michael Will Star In THE PEDOPHILE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, But He
by buzz maverik
...either the lagoon will be bleached white or develope a mysterious disease that no one has ever had before that turns it white.
-
Is Jacko some kind of a psychadelic lycanthrope that starts off as an Afro-American and transmogrifies into a Were-LizTaylor??
-
Michael Jackson? Acting? The only acting he's ever done is acting like he's not a pedophile (not very convincing). And didn't he already do a homage to American Werewolf? I believe it was called the Thriller video?

by ralph cifaretto
That's right, the self proclaimed King of Pop has succeeded in sinking his career & reputation lower than Elvis, lower than Jerry Lee Lewis, lower than...Peter Framton even!
Take a hike already, Mike. -
No one is going to take another chance on Michael Jackson, in front or behind the camera. He went way to far with his plastic surgery after his heyday ended in the early nineties. The public has spoken and it is afraid.
-
Ask yourselves this: if some pop star actually did molest your child, would you be happy with an out-of-court settlement, or would you have his ass thrown in prison? I think I'd go the prison route myself. The fact that the kid's family settled for money, in my opinion, casts serious doubt on their claims. But the public's capacity for rational thought is limited in these matters, particularly when it comes to the possiblity of toppling an icon.
-
St. Buggering, instead of asking why the kid's family settled out of court, ask why JACKSON settled out of court. If you were famous and your name was already tarnished by an accusation, wouldn't you fight the thing all the way through the courts if you were innocent? Didn't Jackson give them like 10% of his wealth? The man clearly had something to hide, or was afraid he would be shown as an even bigger freak during the trial that would have followed. As for the guy accusing Americans of believing anything they read, I don't hear anyone on Talkback referring to buying the Elephant Man's bones or anything. But clearly the man has tried everything in his power to get as far away physically from the African American that he is, and that is something freakish to be sure. Why other black celebrities continue to champion this Uncle Tom is beyond me. Liz Taylor and Marlon Brando are a little screwy so their affiliation doesn't surprise me. The man has NO SOUL, musical or otherwise. Let him rot. You want to defend the falsely accused, give a shout out to Woody Allen, who was WRONGLY charged with molesting his own children by that lunatic whore Mia Farrow. 3 separate psychatrists analyzed those kids, and NONE of them found evidence of any wrongdoing. How big were those headlines compared to the ones when he was accused? Allen may have sketchy morals or ethics (as do a lot of other great artists), but he doesn't deserve to be forever considered a pedophile. Jackson's infatuation with everything kiddie is a lot more revealing.

Whether or not Jackson actually has sex with children...
by billy talent
He definitely has a very bizarre and unwholesome relationship with them. He ain't Peter Pan; there's nothing magical about his connection to children. Doesn't he basically buy kids off of their parents? He's grotesque, and if it weren't for the tabloids he wouldn't exist at all. As for the settlement that was reached, perhaps the father was more interested in Jackson's money than in his son's welfare.

by suicidal_sith
possibly have anything to say that in could anyway be interesting or moving to those of us in the real world?
-
some of you guys are so ignorent its a joke. michael jackson never ever claimed himself to be the king of pop. the expression was first used by elizabeth taylor at the american music awards when she said "I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul". that quote was shortned by the press at the time and refered to michael as the "king of pop" - it stuck. he never self proclaimed that he was the king of pop, that was a lie by the tabloid media. if you think im wrong then please post the time / location where michael said that he was the king of pop and i will retort.

Story about a pop rock star who drinks an elixir of eternal youth that goes awry and turns him in a nightly child catching pedophile. Billed as a "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang meets Jekyll & Hyde meets Neverland"

Who Cares What The HATERS Think, MJ Is One Of The Most Oringinal
by the founder
No one can deny the man's talent, although he is dated. I knew reading this talkback would be nothing more tons of negative rants based off tabloid media. Now believe it or not the tabloids sometimes actually has truth to them, and that's as far as a comment I'm going to give them. As far as Mj being a pedophile, well where are the other kids? No one else has come forth, please! it was a lie, and the media ran with it, and millions of supposed fans turned against him. It was all about money, and some one saw a chance to make some. Mike didn't even have the supposed mark that the kid claimed he saw when Mike molested him, but sure enough the media said that he had the mark removed with plastic surgery, which was also a lie, because it would have taken time to heal, and I rememder a surgeon even commenting on that, and this tidbit of information was looked over from main media sources, because it was a big story, and a way to sell print media, and get ratings,so reporting information that would clear his reputaion was overlooked for the sake of profit from the media. Accusing a person of being a pedophile is not an accusation that should be thrown around, because it's an ugly stigma to be attached to, and a lot of the cases do have merit, but Mike was an easy target. As far as the man with all the surgeries, well it's funny how the media doesn't report that Mike had a botched surgery, and he did indeed had to have others to correct the problem. As far as him lightning his skin, well I can tell you it's not true, just for the simple fact that if he had such a procedure the meida would have ran with it to completly aleinate him from the black community. The real case is that he has a skin disorder, and I know someone personally who has the same condition, and it ranges from light to severe, and Mike has a severe case. I have issues with Mike as well, but despite them, the man made great music, and if he can create good films, them I'll support him.
-
Would you settle out of court for money if a celebrity had molested your child? It's not like the amount of money would hurt the guy, either; he'll still be a multi-billionaire after the payoff. Would you take the money or see to it that the perv went to prison and never touched another child again? You see the point here? Now, if Jackson DID do it, and all the parents did was jump on a chance to get rich, then they're pretty heinous human beings as well, aren't they? I just have trouble believing that any conscientious parent would take the money and run under those circumstances.
-
But I wouldn't kick Michael freaking Jackson out of my playpen.
-
A skinhead and naked Michael Jackson could be a perfect Gollum
-
You know the one. i couldn't turn away from it. iwas trying to get a good look at MJ's face, but he sang half the songs with his hand covering his mouth and nose. and when his face was shown, the most shocking thing to see was that they had digitally softened his facial features. they also digitally blurred Whitney Houston. Don't believe me? take a look if the thing is ever released on DVD - portions of her body are blurred out of focus while dancers on either side of her are in focus. the fact that they would even consider doing stuff like that is disturbing. Not to mention the blurbs they would run in between songs where they would unabashedly say " Michael Jackson - he's the greatest performer of the 20th Century!!!!" And Michael did proclaim himself "The King of Pop" when he told MTV to refer to him with that title. Just ask Kurt Loder if you don't believe it. Howard Stern parodied it by then proclaiming himself "The King of All Media". Having said all this, he WAS a great singer and amazingly talented performer. his artistry made him the biggest celebruty in the world with "Thriller" and he soon after stopped being an artist and continued being a celebrity.
-
So why doesn't he just hire a screenwriter and director and produce one himself already? Every few years, he always keeps talking about doing a movie project -- the Edgar Allen Poe pseudo bio being the most recent -- and now one about "werewolves." Christ, Jacko, put up or shut up already! Even those two N*Sync guys and Britney were willing to cough up some cash to produce their own flicks, so why aren't you? Hmmm, perhaps you don't have one bit of a lick of sense when it comes to making a movie and how the process works today? Here's a start: The Hollywood era that your bud Lizzie Taylor was a part of, and which you're so enamored with, does NOT EXIST ANYMORE! So get over it. It's all about who has the money and who's willing to put it up!
-
is a real disease affecting real people. Bob Monkhouse has it, which explains the fake tan. It occurs in large patches over the body, and it does not fucking make you look uniform bleached bone white like that. Its disgraceful to use other peoples medical problems to disguise your own body dismorphia. While we're on, I don't need the tabloids to see that Jacko is more cracked than a roomful of humpty dumptys. MJ's recasting of himself as some kind of Messiah in his own videos is pretty offensive too. Jarvis Cocker spoke for me, also.

MTV Has Announced That Michael & Family Will Star In A New Docu-
by buzz maverik
Starring Debbie Jackson. With Prince Jackson. Also starring Bubbles The Monkey. And Michael Jackson as Dad. A typical episode has Michael in front of the T.V. watching LITTLE VAMPIRES while Debbie rants about everybody saying that she's just a beard. Meanwhile, Uncle Tito wanders in and Prince begs him to take him home to live or a least drop him under a freeway overpass anything to get him away from ...SHUDDER... Uncle Tito says that he'd like to help but Michael might get mad at him and it would mean that Uncle Tito would have to go to work for a living. Next time on THE JACKSONS: a sleepover at Dylan's Candy Bar in New York City.
