He made a movie to be shown to small children, at a theme park aimed at small children, which prominently features dude's said bulge? We missed it, America. Jackson was crying out for help even then. Hooter is also obviously a phallic symbol, and Jackson's love for him is obvious. Were the people who were pining for the return of this garbage also hoping for a reunion of "We've Got it Maid" or "It's a Living"? If people keep saying that the return of garbage is acceptable, soon all of Tomorrowland will be full of garbage from the 80's..oops, looks like I'm too late. This movie sucks. If you go, do so only to heckle. That being said, my 5 year old niece, also thought it sucked, and asked me to change the movie to something called, "Team Oomïe Zoomie" throughout. The theatre was empty, the floor didn't thump. To recap: EO is bad, and only a moron would want to watch it. And the MJ freaks running around that place made Disney fanbois look like normals.

You are right....next they'll be bringing props. LOL
Originally Posted By crazycroc I saw, nor heard no one cheering. Just an audience leaving the theatre with a puzzled look on it's face. The freaks in the front row who actually enjoyed it, are probably not the target Disneyland audience. I also noticed several poorly transformed transvestites in the park this weekend. Coincidence? I think not.
