October 12, 2001 - I will Moon Walker all over your ass (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

 

Being a dancing machine, I have always envied the lively feet and gloved hand of Michael Jackson. Last night I was given the Moonwalker video which is a 93 minute spectacle of music, dancing, claymation and animation. It also features the talented Joe Pesci as Mr. Big, an evil drug lord who tries to addict the world. Joe Pesci has a backwards ponytail (it goes up instead of down so you can tell he's evil). The major chunk of the film is occupied by the Smooth Criminal vignette which was conceived by Michael. In this scene Mike is seen cavorting with young children in a red crested Mr. Rodgersesque cardigan sweater, very creepy. Michael makes some interesting moves in this section by using symbols. For those of you who are completely stupid a symbol is something that represents something else. In this case, tarantulas represent the Evil Mr. Big's drugs. Here is an illustration of how this works:

Here is your standard innocent child.

Here is a sample of Mr. Big's warez.


Here is a child on drugz, pretty sneaky.

Michael gets even with the evil Mr. Big by turning into a giant robot. His special powers are brought into play when a magic shooting star flies overhead. A picture is not available so here is the recipe I would use to construct this quicksilver MichaelBot.

So this isn't what he looks like but damn that red vest looks funny.

I could go on about this movie for hours but I think you get the idea. Good Night!
