For Your Anticipation: What's A Bieber?

Never underestimate the power of oppressive pessimism. It's that sort of thing that seems to be barreling young pop icon Justin Bieber into the ground. I'm not sure if anybody's noticed, but this week has been a pretty strong one for the Bieber. Add together his hilarious appearance with Ozzy Osbourne in a super bowl commercial, his guest appearance on SNL, and his surprise body-switching with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, and his release of Never Say Never is sure to be a success. Reviews haven't been too negative either to tell the truth. Given the boy's immense following, I'd expect his biopic to be a huge winner at the box office.

Theatrical Trailer: Justin Bieber: Never Say Never

JusThis is really what passes for a legit documentary these days? I just find it shocking that an important film like Waiting for Superman is struggling to get viewers while Justin Bieber: Never Say Never is almost guaranteed for a $40+ million opening. I'd be more okay with it if it were actually a good concert documentary. Michael Jackson's This Is It worked because it was Michael Jackson's voice back from the dead. Justin Bieber isn't dead yet, and until he is, I probably won't care. I like his music enough as a guilty pleasure, but it's not something I'd go and see in concert.
