Chris Tucker and Brett Ratner
Interviewed by Nathan Rabin
August 7th, 2007
[MJ Excerpts]
AVC: So Chris, speaking of black music, you're probably the only man in the world who's appeared in videos for both Michael Jackson and Tupac. Can you kind of compare and contrast the two?
Tucker: I almost died over in Tupac's video. I was in the back of a Jeep, and I was being young, and crazy, and we was in a desert going over these sand dunes. Michael Clarke Duncan, from Green Mile, grabbed me, because I didn't know we was going over sand dunes. I'm in the video like, "Yaaaah!" It was a helicopter shot. It was like, what do you call it? The Warrior?
Ratner: Road Warrior.
Tucker: Yeah, Road Warrior. So I'm playing this crazy guy, and if he didn't grab my back, I would have fell over the thing. That's what I remember about the Tupac video. And I met a fine girl on the video set. With Michael Jackson, it was just working with the legend and working with someone that I admired. That was incredible. A lot of my career, I judge it off Michael, because Michael didn't go out, he didn't do an album every year. He did an album every five years, and he'll come out and make a big thing. He never really overexposed himself. I think I learned a lot watching him, and not overexposing myself in a lot of ways.
AVC: Was that the beginning of your friendship with him, working on that video?
Tucker: We knew of each other. Of course I knew Michael Jackson. If you watch all my movies, there's something to do with Michael in them, for some reason. I guess because I grew up with him. And Scarface, I grew up watching Scarface all the time. That started around Rush Hour 2, yeah, that's when I met him. I was in New York, and I called and said, "I want to meet Michael. Is Michael around?" Couldn't get in touch with him. Flew all the way in a private plane back to L.A., and as soon as I landed and I checked my messages, Michael's people called and said, "Chris, Michael want to meet with you in the morning." I went up to the cockpit, I told the pilots to fly me back to New York, because I'm going to meet with Michael Jackson tomorrow at the Four Seasons Hotel. They said, "What? We've got to call the office, we can't just do this ****." They called the office, and they said, "Alright. Another $50,000." Flew me back to New York, landed, met with Michael that morning, then flew back to L.A. that night. I didn't even leave the plane. We were just taxiing on the runway, checking my messages. That's the first time I ever met Michael. I was on a private plane, in L.A., flew back. That's when I met him. I never told you that. I got crazy, like I spent a lot of money.
AVC: What was kind of your impression of Michael Jackson?
Tucker: He's just a normal person. Nice. He's a very kind person, nice. Really shy. Just a lot of fun to be around, because he's just nice.
AVC: Do you think he's misunderstood?
Tucker: Yeah, he's misunderstood, because he's had a different life. He's accomplished so much in his life, and he's so talented. He's just a genius.
Ratner: He doesn't really belong on this planet. He's the most important figure in the history of music. He'll be remembered far longer than George Bush will. 200 years from now, people will be talking about Michael Jackson, and no one's going to mention George Bush.
AVC: I remember growing up, he was the most famous person in the world.
Ratner: It's not even that. It's like the people who create something. Mozart is much more famous than Napoleon, for instance. Mozart is creating something that's lasting forever in music. Michael does not even belong. It's like God is channeling through him. Even if he sits here with us, and just sings like three notes, it's like, "Oh my God." It's beyond anything. I've worked with a hundred of the biggest artists in the world, from Madonna to Mariah Carey, and he is just beyond. He's at a whole other level, spiritually. He's got the God spot. Everyone has it, everyone has that God spot, but it's just the way he's in tune with it. He has it. It's right there, and when he starts to sing, God has just opened it up for him. That's why he's not comfortable around people and things, because he's just such a unique-he feels blessed just to be himself. "I can't believe I'm Michael Jackson." [Laughs.] That's what it is, really. He is one of the most unique people. I've spent a lot of time with him, so has Chris. Just sitting in the back of a car, and music playing, and then him, he moves like God is going through him. Not to knock Usher or anybody else, but you see when they're dancing, they're like, "One, two, three, four." He's just like, natural. He's amazing, he really is amazing. He's got a bad rap, but the truth is, he's a child. Michael Jackson never grew up, but that's what makes him so special.
Tucker: That's what he says about Brett. "I like Brett, because he's just a kid. He never lost that essence."
Ratner: Mike has the mind of a kid, and when you have the mind of a kid, you're smarter than an adult. You see through all the BS. Kids, you know how they are? They just say the truth.
AVC: There's a sort of purity to it.
Ratner: Purity to it. He's a pure person. There's no malicious intent in him at all. He's a kid. That's the true essence of a kid. There's nobody more kid-like than Michael Jackson. People may say, "Oh, he needs to grow up, he's a 40-something-year-old man," but the truth is, that's what makes him special. He sees the world in a different way. He can read the mind of an adult better than an adult can read his mind. That's what makes him so special.
Tucker: And he understands that, because that's what he told me about Brett. [Laughs.]
Ratner: "Brett's an asshole." "No, Brett's great!" That's what we all have in common. See, that's the thing. Michael loves movies. He loves entertainment. He loves music. We spent all our time with him watching movies. Listening to music. Dancing. Singing. Having fun. Every time Chris would leave the house, we'd be in Miami, and he'd go with Michael Jackson. "Where'd you go?" "Oh, we just went to Barry Gibb's house and we were just singing Bee Gees songs."
Tucker: Him and Barry Gibb were singing with each other. It was crazy.
Ratner: [Imitates Barry Gibb.]
Tucker: Michael singing, [Michael Jackson voice] "How deep is your love, is your love."

Bubbles probeert de Moonwalk:

Dit is het derde deel van de Bad Tour Japan special. Zit heel veel leuke footage tussen, o.a. waar Michael in een trein handtekeningen uitdeelt.

Vandaag Moonwalker & de Magie en de Waanzin ontvangen.. Twee geweldige boeken. Heb al wat random zitten lezen en er staan leuke feitjes tussen die ik niet wist.
- over de Purple Rain film -
Hij zag eruit alsof hij op het punt stond het podium op te gaan. Hij sprak met niemand. Hij zat in de achterste rij en bekeek de film, zonder ook maar één keer zijn zonnebril af te nemen. Ongeveer tien minuten voor het einde stond Michael op en liep naar buiten. Later vroeg iemand uit zijn omgeving wat Michael van de film vond. 'De muziek is prima, vind ik,' antwoordde Michael. 'Maar ik houd niet van Prince. Hij ziet er louche uit en manier waarop hij met vrouwen omgaat, bevalt me ook niet. Hij doet me denken aan een paar van mijn familieleden.' 'En dat niet alleen,' besloot Michael. 'De man kan voor de geen meter acteren. Hij is echt niet zo goed.'

Heb je ook 'Onthullend' gekocht? Dat is echt een erg boek! Dan denk je; huh, gaat dit over Michael?
Ik heb trouwens vanmorgen een stukje gezien op YouTube, Geraldo over vitiligo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTUe15rqi0
Je ziet daar een donkere man die blank wordt gemaakt omdat hij helemaal gevlekt is. Erg boeiend.

Hij kan wel goed genoeg acteren om Michael Jackson te laten geloven dat het echt is. The Kid slaat wijven, maar is dat niet gewoon een rol..
Stanley: hoe zit het eigenlijk met die Olodum shirts?
Weet iemand hoe ik aan dat shirt van Usher kan komen die hij draagt op de 30th Anniversary?

MJ heeft het niet over dat Prince vrouwen slaat, maar dat de manier waarop hij met ze om zou gaan hem niet bevalt. Niet per definitie hetzelfde. Ik denk dat het ging over het neerzetten van vrouwen als object.quote:Op zaterdag 11 augustus 2007 19:31 schreef DrDentz het volgende:

Inderdaad. Maar wie weet had MJ het over Prince als iemand die in videoclips niet respectvol met vrouwen omgaat of iets in die trend.
Zit je tegenwoordig ook op MJNO?quote:Op donderdag 16 augustus 2007 17:27 schreef Schijtgeit het volgende:

Ik ga wel naar het Mjstar-forum, daar zijn ze niet zo fanatiek/triest.

Ik was verbannen op MJJForum omdat ik het niet eens was met de stelling "MJ is getting hotter every day"
Nu kijk ik nooit meer op Jackson-fora, er zijn toch nooit nieuwtjes. En alle filmpjes heb ik wel gezien
