Michael Jackson documentary shocks the audience at Sundance: What we learned


This is 4 hours, and HBO is going to show it in two parts. Anyone know when?

“Neverland” centers on accusers Wade Robson, 36, and James Safechuck, 40, who allege that Jackson began sexually abusing them at ages 7 and 10, respectively.

1. "Leaving Netherland" alleges a lot of sexual activity at MJ's ranch
2. He would allegedly run "drills" with Safechuck to avoid getting caught
3. Jackson allegedly staged a mock wedding, complete with rings and vows
4. Robson claims he was ordered to throw out his underwear after they first had sex
5. Jackson allegedly said his relationship with Lisa Marie Presley "didn't mean anything"

At the start of their relationship, Safechuck alleges that Jackson would regularly test him on how quickly he could put on his clothes as quietly as possible. When Safechuck or Robson's parents stayed at the same hotel, both men allege Jackson often ensured they were staying down the hall or on different floors from the suites Jackson shared with the boys. He also had multiple locks and thick, wooden doors installed throughout Neverland Ranch, where Safechuck claims they had sex inside his castle, pool, attic and train station.

"It happened every day," Safechuck says. "It sounds sick, but when you're first dating somebody, you do a lot of it."

Jackson would repeatedly remind the boys that they could never share anything about what they did: " 'If anyone ever found out that we were doing these sexual things, we would go to jail for the rest of our lives,' " Robson recalls him saying. "I was terrified."

NEVERLAND WAS A GIANT BED

While many to this day paint Jackson’s spread, Neverland Ranch, as a testament to childlike spirit — and a personification of his once-absurd wealth — “Leaving Neverland” gives a different kind of tour of the famed space.

Virtually every structure on the grounds had hideaways with beds or privacy nooks. Safechuck said, at the height of Jackson’s alleged abuse, they used many locations around the ranch where Jackson would molest him. This includes a locked, private box in Jackson’s movie theater that used one-way glass so no one in the theater seats below could see inside.

Neverland’s train station had a hidden attic with a bed. One section of the flat yard was lined with teepees. Both locales were sites of abuse, said Safechuck. Oral sex games were played in the pool and Jacuzzi. The list goes on, and as the photos of each location ticked by, disgusted groans in the theater grew louder.

You pretty well proved my points.

I posted reviews. Nobody on MC has seen the premiere. Imdb isn't even accepting reviews.
