In Loving Memory of Michael Jackson: Captain EO, In Its Entirety
The King of Pop is dead. Long live the King of Pop! As I'm too distressed to work, as I'm sure you are too, I thought we could celebrate Michael together with something from his prime: 3-D Disney parks cinematic odyssey Captain EO -- which, many tend to forget, was one of Francis Ford Coppola's lesser-heralded works. That's Angelica Huston as the licorice-tangled Supreme Leader ordering EO and his crew to be turned into trash cans, before Michael saves the day by singing "We Are Here To Change The World" and shooting purple lasers out of his wrists. Captain EO premiered at EPCOT September 12, 1986 and had its last public showing at Disneyland Park Paris on August 17, 1998. Goodbye, Michael. There will never be another you. I wish it all had a happier ending.

It may have taken half a century, but the Mothership has finally responded to the distress beacon.
Ease on down the road.
Indeed.
Someone comfort Liz Taylor, we can't afford to lose anyone else this week!
If there's an LA funeral--or any funeral--this could go to "Candle In the Wind '97" proportions...
This is "Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad..." the news of course :'(
Tribute song for his memorial services? Sequins in Heaven.
The original Movieline post about his death has brought out more crazies than a Lambert post. I feel like I need to go take a shower.
Tito, get me a tissue.

MICHAEL JACKSON WE MISS YOU AND LOVE AND YOU WILL ALWAY HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEART. LOVE ALWAY, THE BURNET AND AND SHELTON FAMILY
I think this double post glitch is working out in my favor. I got twice the love to give.
Why is no one talking about what might have caused his death? I find that odd.
It was La Toya, in the kitchen, with the broomstick.
Everyone figures oddness must have been the death of him.
They're saying on the teevee that we won't know for sure until the autopsy. A former publicist also just made the comment that for the past few years Michael has looked like he's "decomposing". 24 hour news cycle carry on...
Shhh...the trolls will hear you.
Do you believe it is a heart disease?

The love
The echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
That was delightful. I'm gettin' teary again!
Captain EO was one of the best attractions at Disneyland!! Would love for them to bring it back in memory of the King of Pop!
is it just me or does somebody else notice a lot similarities to the borg? the bad queen looks like a draft for the borg queen in ST8 and there are even stasis modules for the "drones". thank you jacko for reminding me that TNG is just a pure ripoff ^^
Zing!
"Goobye, Billie Jean..."
Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas?
I could see the Star Wars and Star Trek influences in this movie.
Michael Jackson forever.
Captain EO scared the crap out of me when I was little.
