Liz Taylor: 'This Is It' Is The Single Most Brilliant Piece of Filmmaking
Although
Michael Jackson's family is staying hush about the new documentary 'This Is It,' his long-time friend
Elizabeth Taylor hasn't been able to quit talking about the film on
Twitter. In a series of tweets, Taylor said, "It is the single most brilliant piece of film making I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity," she said.
"To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality. I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again... And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man. God kissed him," she added.
"God blessed him and squandered nothing, but loved it all. Michael knew how to put together every tone, every nuance to make magic... To say he was a genius seems so little. I wish my vocabulary encompassed what I feel," she continued.
"You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, 'I saw genius in my lifetime.'"
"If you listen to his lyrics they are those of a modern day prophet and it beseeches us to listen to him and what he sang... From 'Black And White', 'Man In The Mirror'. The inspiration behind 'We Are The World'. We must take his words of responsibility seriously," she added.
Sending praises to '
This Is It' director Kenny Ortega, Taylor continues, "Kenny Ortega did a masterful job of directing the process that goes into making a complete show before hitting the stage.... From A to Z you get Michael's input on every level. Michael's genius at work with the dancers. Mr. Ortega catches Michael in his every mood."
She finally finished with one last thought: "I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable."

Dear Tell It Like It Is:
Please S.T.F.U. Between my goofy family, dumb rhinestone one-glove bit, too-short pants wearing, maniacal buying binges, maybe 26 or 83 or probably 100 face carvings and near if not probably bankruptcy, dummies like you make me look even more stoopidier than I already do.
Signed,
Maybe Fifth or Sixth in line for King of Pop title behind Elvis and Frank and Mozart and Beethoven and Schubert who were all reeaallly popular in their day, too

Could you possibly have ANY MORE CAPS or !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in this post? The best way to sound like a raving lunatic is to type like one. Neither of these people discovered the cure for AIDS or cancer, brought lasting peace to all countries of the world, or single-handedly saved the rainforests. They were an actress and an entertainer, period. Whoop-de-doo.

How pathetic you little toads are. If you knew anything about Michael Jackson and who he was, you couldn't help but to agree with Dame Liz's opinions. He was the most loving, giving, humane, talented, person on the planet. There will never be anyone to influence all races of people as he did. There will never be a better dancer, choreographer, singer, believe what you want but it's the truth. He was blessed by God. And I feel blessed that I got to be around to see all of his accomplishments and humanitarianism. Don't mock something you don't understand.

Right on ! Absolutely. Michael always gave us his all. No one is perfect in their own personal lives. This man gave us so much thru his multi talents.

Please, Tanya. Your remarks are as silly, bloated and inaccurate as those of Dumb, eeerrr, I mean, Dame Elizabeth. (Note to Liz - Please shut up and go very far away, very, very quickly. You have for a long time been irrelevant and with each appearance and statement you but further queer your now-soiled reputation.)
Never be a better dancer? "What the...", signed, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Nuryev, etc.
Never be a better singer? "Tanya's an idiot.", signed, Josh Groban, Michael Crawford, etc.

I just want to add... Why are people so eager to just listen and except rumor and gossip and BELIEVE it to be true? For the life of me, I just don't understand it. The news depicts a story of someone on the air and you watch it, and it becomes more gospel to you than the bible. If it were you, someone was telling a story about, that was an untruth and shared it with the world, and the world just said " yep it's true.. I heard it on the news". How would you feel, knowing that this is your life, what was stated was completely unfair, and now is very damaging to your personal image? People c'mon. Michael was a huge public profile man, he was a easy story topic for money. He was not at all the person that the media created him to be. He was not a child molester, he was a very loving individual, and loved children. But, hey remember if the media said it, he was. Right? Not...If we all had a heart like this man, that absolutely loved life and loved to share his life with others, what a better world we would all live in. What has happened to our society? We have all turned the page to anger and forgot about happiness and love for one another.Michaels life was an easy target for money,and money unfortunately is what makes the world go round. So, talk trash, sell trash, and we all by trash... society promotes this behavior. What have we all become? Its so sad!!!

She's just a looney old rat bag. Has she done anything in the last 40 years other than marry a bunch of times ? I think the last major film role she did was "Cleopatra", and that bombed .
Maybe MJ had God given talent, but then he had major God given problems too. To say no one will ever dance as well as he did or help others like he did is foolish - can you predict who will be talented and famous in 50, 100 ,200 years ?

Oh Yes, Damn Liz is an expert when it come to picking men of character and integrity. She has only been married seven or eight times. Excellent record.

It is so nice to see the bitterness of the US unemployed population. They have nothing but hate for someone who had enough creativity and lasting talents that even in death he is still a hot commodity. And here the trash sit bashing instead of filling out a job application only to be in the same place tomorrow as they are today. Posting comments in a useless forum because there isn't a place or an industry in which their opinions or their abilities are desired or necessary.
Michael Jackson is bank, and by years end you will all be broke and still unemployed. This is it ! The place where you wasted your day when you should've been looking for a job.
