I wonder who will play mike .. either a black or white man , this will cause alot of issue on the internet tbh mj's life is confusing
My thought exactly... The director will also have to consult with his family, because they will have the final say on the production of the film. This will be one very tough production.

Was probably a good thing MJ died when he did.

Dude would almost def have jumped on the Transexual bandwagon and been michelle Jackson today

Wonder how we would have processed it. Then again seeing as MJ was already androgynous, we would probably have just shrugged wacko jacko at it again

There I was looking for Teddy Geiger's first album in 320,only to find dude is now a woman. Like wtf.

Michael Jackson was a black man who had a skin condition called Vitiligo. People assumed that he bleached his skin, but in reality, his skin lightened over time because his immune system killed his melanocytes (cells that produce skin pigment). He went public with the news in an Oprah interview and itted to having plastic surgery done to aid the condition.

So basically, his physical transition from black to white wasn't voluntary, it was completely out of his control. It'd be a travesty if someone other than a black man portrays him in a biopic.

Not really. Michael Jackson was a black man who had Vitiligo. There is no question about whether he was black or white because he was clearly black. Casting anyone other than a black man to play him would be as ridiculous as casting a black man to play Jack Chan in a biopic.

Certain factors will need to be taken into consideration when producing this film. For example, I'm wondering how his skin and hair change will be portrayed. I just hope it goes well, because MJ is almost like an historical figure.

I always thought he bleached the darker part of his skin to make it look even with the vitiligo part.


To cast a white person will just be as ridiculous as Kanye asking Danny Mcbride to play him in a biopic grin

Vitiligo doesn't turn a black man into a white man.He may have had that condition but it is obvious that he bleached his skin,changed his nose and hair.He did everything to look white.

You missed the part where I said "he itted to having plastic surgery done to aid the condition." In essence, he surgically bleached the darker parts of his skin to match the vitiligeous parts. He also did some work on his nose, chin and hair, cos if you're suddenly white, you've to look the part.

He embraced his new looks cos why not?

I imagine they will start from when he was black and gradually transition to when he turned white. Prosthetics and makeup will invariably play a huge role in all these, obviously.

Nobody said Vitiligo turns a black man into a White man, but the condition appears in many wide variation. Some have close to 90% white patches all over thier body, why some others have uneven patches and this brings them shame and they are open to discrimination. I personally know someone with the condition, the person is always on tros and long sleeves with cap just to hide the condition. As the condition is irreversible, the only remedy is to even out the white patches through cosmetic surgery aka Bleaching. So I don't see why MJ should be vilified for this.
As for his nose and hair. That was his personal choice, people of all races changed their nasal structure for variety of reasons and it's okay. The "human hair" that girls in this clime crave after, which race do you think the hair his modelled after??.
The theory of him "wanting to be white by all means" should die a natural death cuz he has explained why he did what he did and the reasons are legit.
And he will forever be the "KING of POP".

I personally don't belive MJ had vitiligo. He was a celebrity with an army of handlers who had to manage his image.

Easier to say this than to say I had a childhood dream to transition to a white dude.

What did vitiligo have to do with his facial surgery and his long permed hair?

No one ever saw a sign of his vitiligo in the years before his surgery. And he was already a celebrity and there were already paparrazi

He said his father verbally abused him for having a big nose or something like that when he was younger, so he decided to get a nose job. As for the permed hair, as someone pointed out up there, he may have done that to look the part.

On whether he truly had vitiligo or not, I guess we may never know. I personally didn’t care about the nigga’s physical appearance, I am just grateful to have walked the earth the same time he did.

I don't know which cinema you go to, but the ones I've gone to, the sound inside the cinema room is crystal clear and loud. Of course, some people will inevitably talk while the movie is going on but it's not that distracting.

I've only been distracted once when two stupid teenage lovers were giggling and gossiping like two cursed demented toads some years ago but , other than that, it's been a smooth experience.

Besdies, I don't go to the cinema that much. Just once in a blue moon. I was at the cinema for The Batman and my next one will be Avatar 2 by God's grace. For other movies coming out this year, I doubt they'd elicit the hunger to go to cinema to see them.

Thor love and thunder?

Omo, cinema is the only enjoyment I have outside sex and football.

My partner hates when I play video games. Na so me and my bros dey carry our ps4 and ps5 to hotel to play FIFA. Even our nephews and nieces will not even allow us to concentrate on games.

I'm a cinema freak. Going to watch the latest Jurassic park movie in cinema later.

Getting old mennn

I might see Thor Love and Thunder in cinema but it's on probability because I've got zero anticipation for it especially after seeing its trailer. Every other movie this year except Avatar 2 is on probability of me going to cinema for them. I'm all hyped up for Avatar 2 that I'm targeting watching it on its first week of debut before someone spoils it for me. I won't wait for high seas for that one.


LOL. Don't you feel it's waste of money going to hotel to lodge to enjoy your PS5? The money you and your friend spend to lodge in hotels can be pulled together to get another TV where you can enjoy your stuff while she has another TV to watch her favorite programs.

Whether my partner likes my game time or not, I'll never go to hotel to play them. No freaking way. She has to make sacrifices for that as I do make sacrifices for things she likes as well.

I didn't see the similarities. In Romancing The Stone, the hero is grumpy, tough and very sure of himself, while Dash is the polar opposite.


Females were authors writing a story

They simply changed Douglas character for the more goofy tatum.


Also dead Brad Pitt shows up at the end like devito if I correctly.

Expect a part 2 involving some sort of spiritual leader.

Yeah. We have plenty TVs in our house. Extra tv is not the problem. Both our wives (me and my bros) hate videogames with a ion. The hissing and the stink-eye we get when playing FIFA from them.

As for the hotel, we don't need to lodge if our friend, the owner is around. We use the lounge TV.


I'm guessing that you are older than me. I grew up with movies and game and so they are part of me. Even at 90, I will watch movies at cinema.

Prepare for my review of the new Jurassic Park movie
