Black and white? The one I saw was most certainly in color!
I thought it was a waste of time and money...

Who is it a waste of time for? Certainly not you, since you don't have to
watch it if you don't want to. I'm sure with all the publicity and positive
response it's gotten, it was neither a waste of time or money for its
creators. YAR.

YAR. > > Jerry Weil ( {decvax, ihnp4, allegra}!brunix!giw ) I guess all it takes is, as Jerry Weil says, a substantial amount of publicity and "positive response" (from whom? other 'celebrities'?) to make something worthwhile in the American public eye. If you want to hear GREAT Michael Jackson (instead of just GOOD Michael Jackson) listen to the "Off the Wall" album. -- Pardon me for breathing... Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr

#R:browngr:-38200:smu:15400001:000:705 smu!salomon Feb 7 08:11:00 1984 Thriller with all its $$$ seems after the third time in three hours (if you are so lucky) not to capture my imagination. Since Mr. Jackson, undoubtedly one of the major musical and entertainment talents, tried to win an academy award with this video, that it should be treated as a movie, not a video. Star Wars, an excellent film, got boring after the first six times, but at least it didn't take up 15 minutes of my precious MTV time... Also, I can't seem to take a person who I watched on Saturday morning cartoons in my youth seriously as a musician. The whole bit about flying around the world to give concerts in a cartoon airplane is a bit too much to swallow. Marc Salomon
