Thank you for pointing out about Michael auditioning for the Wiz and bitten by the acting bug. It seems that Michael is also bitten by the producing bug. A swarm of bugs around Michael :lol: This Is It and It Was All For Love (and may be more) are/will be breathtaking results of these bites
It reminds me of the TMZ article about Michaels kids, who were also bitten by the acting bug You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Btw Wings, I ordered the book a week ago, so it'll arrive soon. I'll let you know what I think after reading the book.LOVE
Our mission, should you chose to accept it, will be to encourage Michael in the producing of the movie!
"They Cage The Animals At Night" Club! :lol: :lol: when you say it like this, it sounds a bit strange "Theycagetheanimalsatnightclub", what kind of nightclub is that :lol: :lol: Soon PETA will be banging on the door :lol:
I like the mission and I've already chosen to accept the book, regardless of having read it or not. So, our mission to encourage Michael in producing the movie has already started :arrow: Go Michael! :lol:
"and I'd say to Michael: "Love you most"
Hi Wings,Yes, Michael is a practical joker, isn't he? That's one of things I admire and love about him. I'd love to see him smile or having a big laugh I hope we convinced him to make that movie Today I started reading the book. After the first pages there was already a tear I'll need some time, because I'm actually a holiday reader (then I really got the time), though this book is a catchy one, so I expect that I'll grab the book whenever there's a little time.LOVE
Hey Wings, I just finished the book and I´ve never read a book that touches so many different emotions than this one. I understand completely that you´d read it in one breath, though if I´d do that I´d be dead by now <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> . I almost felt guilty when I put my book away to go to work or to sleep or whatever; it was as if I left Jennings. There were really heartbreaking moments in the book, that made me cry, like when his friend Mark died, the many moments when he lost or left a friend or when he just talked to Doggie when he felt very sad. When Jennings was sad and lonely he was drawing Doggie. Sometimes I felt truly angry about Sister Barbara, the Carpenters and the frog-face lady. There were many moments I could feel Jennings´ loneliness and fear. Admiration too when he kept thinking positively and not giving up, in spite of all the misery he´d been in and many disappointments he had to cope with. Sometimes I felt the urge to jump in the book and hold this poor boy and I'd say to him that he´s safe and that he´s not alone. I was glad that Sister Clair, Sal and Martha showed loving affection to him, because that kept him going. His mother wasn´t able to do so, because she was busy surviving and keeping the family together, which is love too. The many lessons of life & love are still important and so true for everyone. This passage of the book which has a double meaning, says a lot:"He asked her why they cage the animals at night. She explained that the animals that are given to us, we have to take good care of them. To cage them is the only way to take good care of them. J. :”But if somebody loved one of them, wouldn’t it be a good idea to keep one?” Sister: “Yes, it would be. But not everyone would love them and take care of them as you would. I wish I could give them all away tomorrow.” J. whispered to Doggie: “If I ever do take you, I promise I’ll take good care of you and love you.”"The animals are both the stuffed animals and the children of the orphanages. To cage them is NOT the only way to take good care of them, not this inhumane and cruel way they caged the children. The book is detailed written in a captivating style in the first person with the imaginary mind of an 8-11 year old with sometimes struggling feelings. I think it is a real challenge to put these feelings on the screen, though I think that Michael might be the only one who can do this. I believe that he could identify himself with Jennings very well, what makes it less difficult to express the emotions in the film. Michael, I hope to see your beautiful movie! You can do it! <!-- s:D --><!-- s:D --> Thanks, Wings, for your advise to read the book. I wouldn´t have missed it for the world. I hope now I convinced Michael <!-- s:P --><!-- s:P --> I wrote a summary of this book, though it has 7 pages, so I can´t call it a summary. If you´d like I can send you the summary by PM.LOVE bearhug

You are absolutely right it is an emotional book. Seriously doubt if the coldest of heart could read it without feeling the flow of emotions it evokes. Great book report!! I would love to read the full one, please do send it to me!You get an A+ for the double meaning. I keep seeing Jennings lying in bed at night and looking out through the window that was covered in some type of wire as if he were actually locked in a cage, "They Cage The Animals At Night!" I wonder if she really thought little Jennings would not understand that she was calling the children animals?I'm so glad you read the book! Thanks for joining me on this mission! <!-- s:D --><!-- s:D --> Quote I think it is a real challenge to put these feelings on the screen, though I think that Michael might be the only one who can do this.

Oh I think Michael is well up to the challenge, considering he has already pulled off the greatest and probably the longest hoax ever. I am sure this hoax will be another Guinness World Record for him! And after the making of "It Was All For Love!", doing this movie would be a piece of cake for the genius! I think he can do it, and Michael thinks he can do it or he would have never considered it to begin with. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:" (Proverbs 23:7) And if this movie would not be Academy Award material they can just stop giving them out!!Let's see now, "They Cage the Animals At Night" directed by Michael Joe Jackson, nominated for:1. "Best Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published."2. "Best Achievement in Directing." 3. "Best Original Score." 4. "Best Original Song." (Got to, it's Michael!)5. "Best Sound Editing."6. "Best Sound Mixing."7. "Best Sound."8. "Best Story."9. "Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)." And!10. "Best Picture." Another Guinness World record!!! bow/ <!-- smj_bad/ -->mj_bad/<!-- smj_bad/ --> party/ Hey Michael, convinced yet!Stay blessed, the both of you, because you most certainly are!OnTheWingsOfLove! bearhug

Here's a wonderful article about Michael from Book Patrol, "A Haven For Book Culture." Thought you might like it. This leads me to think that he probably has a lot of books lined up for future movie making ventures! I'm excited for him!
