Over the years, one of the running gags about Jacko has been the weird way he dressed his kids whenever they appeared in public, like a mix between burqas and Carnival costumes. A South Park episode even centered on it. Just another piece of crazy in Michael Jackson's life.

Crazy like a fox! In their Secret Identities, his kids got to hang out with the children of MJ's not-famous friends and have probably the closest thing to a normal childhood that you're going to get when your name is Prince Michael Jackson. That's all over now, sadly, but hopefully the few years he was able to buy them will let the kids weather the media and legal storm that now swirls around them.

Totally missed this first time around, I had to use a knife to pry it up into position.

In the dream I had this morning just before waking (a sort of future sci-fi thing, more details under the cut if anyone cares), at one point the group I was with met a famous action director, who made things that were a cross between a fully immersive movie and a limited-choice game. He was doing a promo tour for his latest project, a remake of the classic "Michael Bay's Transformers". For the rest of the dream, ads for this were everywhere, even inside the high security installation I was trying to infiltrate.

Yes, I plan to see Revenge of the Fallen today. :0

( Dream stuff behind the cut, mostly writing it down so I can remember it later, since I might want to mine a few of the elements for stories. )

shortpacked's review: "GIANT ROBOTS. All else is nitpickery."

And then there's this one.

I doubt there will be anything meaningful I can add to this combination once I see the movie myself. :)
