8 Mile

Last night I sat up and watched 8 Mile for the first time - what a stupid film - Mr Eminem wandering around with a sour face for and hour and fifty minutes, then he wins a singing contest by telling everyone how rubbish things are and then he walks off with a sour face.

How that film gathered the plaudits it did is beyond me.

I like 8 mile, it's a decent film especially considering Emimem is not a qualified actor. I think you were supposed to be impressed with the authentic depiction of mid 90's detroit.

Authentic Depiction

Yes because in Athentic 90's Detroit the sun never shines ever, everything has a slight monochrome tint, people have rap battles on street corners and in the queue for lunch all the time and nobody ever ever ever smiles.

Smiles

Well would you smile if you lived with your drunkard Mum who was sleeping with a thug not much older than you, you worked stamping bits of metal for peanuts, you were a loser, all your friends were losers, you girl was screwing the guy you were relying on to get your big break and the sun never ever shone ever ?

Besides, he does smile when Clarence chokes.

Your Girl.

I don't think at any point in that film does Brittany Murphy's character consider herself "his girl", she shags him in a quite ridiculous scene might I add and then shags someone else. Get over it misery guts.

I work for peanuts - alright not stamping bits of metal but right boring peices of boring code, I can't remember the last time the sun shone and my mates are all losers.

But I don't walk around with a constant sour face.

Its a shit film.

??? !

"But I don't walk around with a constant sour face."
