" I'm Tucker time Wesley Morris can take two we are discussing. MJ. Michael Jackson and this is it. This is was it this well that is all we -- is it out how it was I guess. All it is is there is that is that is that all there I guess yes it's basically. You've seen as I haven't let me ask you this somebody do. This actually feels that I got nothing from Michael Jackson musically after you know the mid eighties. You mean you got nothing from him what do you like to reveal that meant that that didn't deliver you any music it was. It's nothing that that that move my world -- transforming the way the stuff up today you know and the mid to late eighties did precedent interest in this. At one of these people probably became more of a tabloid picture than a musician Mike that perhaps but still convinced you license in this. Maybe you shouldn't I mean it's it's it's -- majesty no. For one thing it's sort of cell phone quality. Documentary. Footage. -- rehearsal footage of a leading up to this concert this would have been the backstage footage of the ultimate. Concert they don't for the dvd write whatever I mean it's it's interesting. It's entertaining it's hot -- It's creepy. Com. But get real thing about this movie in this ended the point of interest for me and I think the point of interest for anybody who sees it.

To me through these fifty performances. For. Do you -- You know for him on some level but also for us. To entertain us and he's not -- didn't mean he's really. So we are waiting to do we sure don't want to -- for what we did to Michael to business customers what we didn't make any entertainment story and but I mean it's interesting to. Pat -- presented to us as as as as what Sony would like -- think is a blockbuster entertainment well. Well again and answer time this is what they've got and it doesn't make sense to me is this a movie that should have been made that should have been released. I mean it's it's good to see I'm glad we're seeing and I just and there is a sort of tinge. I'll sort of rubber -- and expected at the same time that some of the sequence is a really good and and again it's it's Michael Jackson sort of beat Michael Jackson in a way that we haven't quite some -- which is interest enough for me because I'm you know. As somebody who. For --"
