	Thriller with all its $$$ seems after the third time in three hours
 (if you are so lucky) not to capture my imagination. Since Mr. Jackson,
 undoubtedly one of the major musical and entertainment talents, tried
 to win an academy award with this video, that it should be treated as
 a movie, not a video. Star Wars, an excellent film, got boring after
 the first six times, but at least it didn't take up 15 minutes of my
 precious MTV time...  Also, I can't seem to take a person who I watched
 on Saturday morning cartoons in my youth seriously as a musician. The 
 whole bit about flying around the world to give concerts in a cartoon
 airplane is a bit too much to swallow.
