Abertillery, Wales is exactly 33.6 miles by car to the Batcave!  Maybe a shorter distance if you are a Bat and can FLY!  Remember, The Dark Knight Rises on July 20, 2012!  :woohoo2:

Thankyou everyone for resurrecting this thread once again and for the great contributions! @TheRunningGirl, your research astounds me!!! Respect!  :bowdown:

Wow!  My head is reeling right now!

First of all, from Mohamed Al Fayed’s website, he comments on the Olympics and the resurrection/remastering of the original film, Chariots of Fire.  He also clearly identifies KEY involvement in the original film, by Dodi and himself.

An article from The Sun (April 19, 2012), speaks about the film and interviews Lord Putnam, Producer of the original film.  No mention of either Al Fayed in his extensive dialogue about the film.  Also, just to note, when watching the trailer for the remastered version of the film, Dodi Al Fayed DOES appear at the end credits.  Don’t blink, or you’ll miss it!

So, in just checking the film’s Wikipedia page, there is no mention of Dodi Al Fayed, when he USED to be there! You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

The edit page from the Wikipedia above, shows that Dodi Al Fayed was “removed” from the credits for the film, on May 27, 2012.  The words “Royal Command Film Performance” were also added to the Wiki page to indicate that the British Monarchy chose this film for this annual event. This film was their film “pick” for 1981.  And who made these Wikipedia changes?...

Hi SEHF!

Great find on the LGG/Michael pic!

Btw, I love your new avatar.  Multi-faceted symbolism... BRILLIANT!  Is the melting ice resuscitating our previously “flatlined” Lonesome George?  I hope so!

Thankyou Souza,

But, with all due respect, when I go to SEHF's profile on MY computer, and I look at the rolling commentary (which hasn't been rolling so much lately!), why is HIS avatar on the rolling commentary part, now MY avatar? And, I have asked others, they are seeing the avatar placeholder on their computers in this rolling commentary part.

Pleading ignorance here.

Roses? Why not sunflowers??

Hi, SEHF!

You don't know me, but I have been at this forum a very long time.  I am just not posting that much these days.  I wanted to say, that when I looked at your "Profile", and I saw that you are now using my avatar, I was touched and proud!  Not sure if anyone else sees this "PEACE Sign on Earth" when THEY look at your profile.   I haven't been able to make my avatar work on this forum since the last major forum overhaul!  Better that someone, such as yourself, who seems quite MAG-nificent and tech-savvy, can make THIS avatar (which has become such a part of me) work... for YOU!

Take care of yourself!

Yes! Thankyou for the RESURRECTION, @MJonmind!

"1's" and "7's" are following me EVERYWHERE, and in particular "117." L(3) I(9) G(7) H(8) T(2) = 29/11 (2+9=11); B(2) E(5)... "LIGHT BE" (sounds like Yoda-speak!)... "BE LIGHT."

Above based on the SLC code of the letters of the alphabet corresponding to numbers 1 though 9 and then repeating.

I would hazard a guess that THIS Kimberly Griggs is one in the same.  Apparently, between jail stints, Kimberly has time to find obscure Michael Jackson FANsites and drop of JUST enough info to equal a snippet!  :LolLolLolLol:

Hi Andrea and TheRunningGirl, and thankyou kindly for your replies.

As Doug (Dmovie27) suggests, there might be more to this little "B" movie than meets the eye!

Andrea ~ I have not seen this film yet, but hope to very soon!

TheRunningGirl ~ Nice little Claudia Schiffer thing going on there!  You used to be married to David Copperfield the magician, didn't you?  Did he share any magical secrets with you? :)) 'Cos you always have such magical information to share!  Very interesting research.

Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls was due to be released in theaters in the summer of 2004, but Jackson's legal problems during that time made the movie's distributors wary of releasing the movie. Director Stoller explained in a news release: 'We've sort of had to put things on hold.  It's a shame because Jackson has an amazing vision.'  The movie release date was also put in doubt due to worries of executives at 20th Century Fox that the title was too close to Tom Hanks' hit film Cast Away.

The film was shown in three film festivals during 2004, was shown on television in Russia in 2005, and was finally released to DVD in the United States in July 2005.

In July 2011, it was announced in a press release that the film will have its world premiere on My Family TV, Retro Television Network and Tuff TV in Fall 2011, followed by a special limited DVD release featuring 20 minutes of unreleased footage of Jackson's involvement in the film.  Curiously, the press release did not mention the film by name, only that it was described falsely as 'Michael Jackson's last movie' (while this film was Jackson's last scripted appearance, his actual last movie was his concert film, Michael Jackson's This Is It, in 2009).  The press release only gave away the fact that it was Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls by its description:  'The film is a comedy that spoofs movies and television programs like Miss Congeniality, Planet of the Apes, Cast Away, Love Boat, Gilligan's Island, The Sixth Sense, Jurassic Park, Men in Black and more.  Michael Jackson plays the role of Agent MJ.  Jackson's scenes were shot at his Neverland Ranch home.

I'm wondering if anybody knows if these network tv premieres/dvd re-releases ever happened?  Here is the main part of the press release:

ValCom Taps Into Hidden Library Treasure With Michael Jackson's Last Film

CLEARWATER, Fla., July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its ongoing strategy to monetize content from its film and audio library, ValCom, Inc. (VLCO.PK) announced today that it will be releasing Michael Jackson's last movie on Broadcast TV and DVD.

The movie will be broadcast to over 300 television stations this fall through the My Family TV, Retro TV, and TUFF TV television networks.  ValCom will be announcing the broadcast date for the movie in the near future.  In addition, ValCom will be releasing a special run of 10,000 limited edition DVDs that will be sold directly to the public.

'This is a golden opportunity for ValCom!  Michael Jackson is the number-one selling artist of all time with millions of fans around the world,' stated Vince Vellardita, President and CEO of ValCom.  'We're providing the chance for people to own rare and unreleased footage of Michael Jackson behind the scenes and at Neverland Ranch.'

The film is a comedy that spoofs movies and television programs like Miss Congeniality, Planet of the Apes, Cast Away, Love Boat, Gilligan's Island, The Sixth Sense, Jurassic Park, Men in Black and more.  Michael Jackson plays the role of Agent MJ.  Jackson's scenes were shot at his Neverland Ranch home.  The DVD includes 20 minutes of unreleased, never before seen Michael Jackson footage, not limited to interviews of the world's greatest entertainer.

Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture.  Five of Jackson's solo albums - 'Off the Wall,' 'Thriller,' 'Bad,' 'Dangerous' and 'HIStory,' are among the top sellers of all time, and 'Thriller' holds the distinction as the largest selling album worldwide in the history of the recording industry with more than 70 million units sold.  Additionally, singles released from the 'Thriller' album sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, another all time record.

During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No. 1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and 'Thriller' as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time.  Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award.

Hi Everyone!

I am "beaming" in the latest uploaded/published videos from Doug @ The MicHEAL Project on YT (aka TMP).  They feature an inside look at the behind-the-scenes of the film that Michael was famously "beamed" into as Agent M.J., Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls (2004).  Please note that Doug uploaded these vids a full day (4/14/2012) BEFORE Tupac "beamed" into Coachella (4/15/2012)! Hmmm...

Thankyou @TheRunningGirl for posting the final video in this FABULOUS series! And thankyou so Much @Dmovie27...you are greatly appreciated and LOVED!

May 14 is an interesting date. May 14, 1984, as you have mentioned before, @TheRunningGirl, and as @Dmovie27 has clearly shown in his Shawshank Redemption video (Part 6), is the date that Ronald Reagan presented Michael Jackson with the Presidential Humanitarian Award. 33 years this May 14!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlPXFEaaUgw[/youtube]

But also "14" can be considered "27", (2x7) as you noted above @TheRunningGirl!

This year, 2012, Pentecost (Western) Sunday falls on May 27.

Quote
Pentecost (Ancient Greek: Πεντηκοστή [ἡμέρα], Pentēkostē [hēmera], "the Fiftieth [day]") is a prominent feast in the calendar of Ancient Israel celebrating the giving of the Law on Sinai, and also later in the Christian liturgical year commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the remaining eleven disciples of Christ (Judas had hanged himself) after the Resurrection of Jesus. The feast is also called Whit Sunday, Whitsun, or Whit, especially in the United Kingdom, where the following Monday was traditionally a holiday. Pentecost is celebrated seven weeks (50 days) after Easter Sunday, hence its name.  Pentecost falls on the tenth day after Ascension Thursday.

Among Christians, Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Twelve apostles and other followers of Jesus as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1-31. For this reason, Pentecost is sometimes described as the "Birthday of the Church."

Just wanting to connect a few more dots!

Byron F. Garcia — the official security advisor to the Cebu government who was assigned as head of the prison by his sister Gwendolyn Garcia, the governor of Cebu Province — is credited for starting a program of choreographed exercise routines for the inmates. The prison is best known worldwide for its viral version of Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Afterwards, many other dance routines of popular songs followed.

Quote
Byron F. Garcia originally wanted to introduce a program at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) where inmates would exercise for an hour each day. He saw waves of prisoners in the exercise yard and thought it looked good. He also claims in a British documentary that his inspiration came while watching the movie The Shawshank Redemption in particular the scene where the sounds of Mozart's Figaro flood the prison yard.

The Thriller video was voted as one of the “top 10 viral videos of 2007” by Time Magazine. The way Byron Garcia describes the source of his inspiration is simply beautiful. Don’t forget to read the video description!

Thankyou @TheRunningGirl for posting all of these videos! Yes, TMP's Shawshank series is an excellent series and really is so connected to Michael's story. A man unjustly accused of a crime and his subsequent imprisonment and eventual FREEDOM!

Hi MJonmind,

How could I forget the "other" Michael @ Riding the Beast.  TheRunningGirl and I studied him intensely before introducing him to this forum!  No doubt he is a "character" and another piece of this WONDERFUL interactive adventure puzzle!

Great to speak with you again!

Hi Ovelias,

"The Cell 33" is the correct translation, is it not? Reminds me of Stephen Kings novel "The Cell."

Quote
Clayton Riddell, a struggling artist from Maine, has just landed a graphic novel deal in Boston when "The Pulse," a signal sent out over the global cell phone network, suddenly turns every cellphone user into a mindless zombie-like killer. Clay is standing in Boston Common when the Pulse hits, causing chaos to erupt around him. Civilization crumbles as the "phoners" attack each other and any unaltered people in view.

Maybe that is not IT.  33 is Michael's number, though.  Maybe you are just talking about your Human Genetics course.  Hmmm. 

Take care of yourself!
