[...] Supposedly there were four other studios bidding to acquire Area 51’s rights, but Paramount Film Group president, Adam Goodman, had an “inside track.” Goodman was a big part of acquiring Paranormal Activity when he was at Dreamworks and was the exec at Paramount who helped push the studio’s word-of-mouth marketing campaign, something which paid off tremendously.

Paranormal Activity was by far the worst movie I have ever seen. I fell asleep twice and my wife fell asleep once. Looking at a ratty bed and nothing happening by way of paranormal activity except for on a couple of nights was extremely boring. This was the first movie I ever thought of asking for my money back but by that time the movie ended. But I must give credit to the distributors/marketers for generating over 100 million dollars out of $15,000. Maybe with that kind of money in the bank they can make a better movie.

You do realize thats been proven false, right? There was a tape that featured the accuser’s dad ADMITING that he was scamming money out of Jackson.

I would like to thank Kenny Ortega, Michael Bierdan and the cast and crew for bringing the fans THIS IS IT. The movie was way beyond what I expected from rehearsal footage. I/we the fans needed closure and we got it. THIS IS IT compliments Michael on so many levels. Simply Beautiful! Long live the King of Pop!

While I don’t have Pina’s enthusiasm, I did enjoy This Is It. But I enjoyed the dancing more than the music, which, of course, was also good.

Paranormal Activity was not the greatest thriller I’ve seen but it wasn’t the worst either.

I’ve seen This Is It 11 times and counting. I will see it again tonight and tomorrow. I simply can not get enough of Michael. It is AMAZING!! BRILLIANT!! I LOVE IT! I cried, I laughed, I cheered, I melted (Michael is so SEXY) and I wasn’t alone. The audience was right there with me. I simply can’t get enough. Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, right? Well, I haven’t. I will see it a least twice a week until it is no longer in theaters. This is Michael Jackson like we’ve never seen him, not the media distorted version that was fed to us. Michael is so loving, kind, and respectful and cares so much about the world and everything in it. He was singing and dancing like he was 25. The stuff Michael and Kenny were working on for this concert was mind blowing and simply must be seen on the big screen. Don’t cheat yourself, GO SEE IT IN THE THEATER! Kenny, THANK YOU for putting this documentary together with such love. And thank you for being a TRUE friend to Michael. I love you for what you’ve done for Michael and Michael, I love you more!!!!!

I’m surprised people actually went to see “This Is It”. Sony just threw the film together just so they can capitalize on the death of Michael Jackson.
