8 Mile is a pretty damn good flick. And Eminem is pretty good in it. He’s also pretty fearless in front of a camera though while I own his music I don’t know if the guy is dead serious about art or pulling the wool over a gentleman’s eyes.
Either way, it’s an entertaining ride.
Emimen apparently has a production company. Well, so do half the people reading this. It’s not an achievement. Except when it’s Eminem. Yahoo says that the rapper/mogul may possibly step before the camera again in Random Acts of Violence, a film his team has developed to a point apparently ready for filming.
It makes sense for Mr. Mathers to be evolving this way. How long can he be what he is to his industry? It’s a real difficult thing to do, stay relevant. I have no idea what the film’s about but I’d expect it to be something unlike The Blind Side.
That makes me smile.

I am not a huge Eminem fan, but I respect the way he conducts himself as a brand. After 8-Mile hit big, he could have written his own check into any number of horrible action movies or thrillers, but instead he just went back to his day-job. Next thing I’d like to see is him playing someone other than a facsimile of himself (maybe someone that smiles). I am optimistic that he could pull it off.
While I’m not super duper into his music, I do respect the hell out of how he’s handled his success. It seems that if he doesn’t feel 100% about a project, he doesn’t do it. By that regard, if he feels strongly enough about whatever this project is then I’ll give it my due attention.
And yeah, 8 Mile is a pretty great flick, and “Lose Yourself” is a pretty great song.
I still have yet to see 8 Mile, but I hear good things about it. Might finally rent it. Looking forward to what he has to offer next.
Watch it. Seriously. It’s an actually good movie.

I want to see a “buddy” flick with Eminem and Timberlake. Not a comedy but some kind of badass hardcore film.
When 8 Mile came out, I thought, “Great, here’s a guy who will cash in as much as he can with movies and make bad ones”; but no, he didn’t. He actually managed to not do that and continue to make music that people enjoy. Glad to see he is back in the movie business, hopefully making good ones.
8 Mile gets heavy rotation in my house and I quote it often. “What’s my motto? Fuck Lotto. I’ll get 7 digits from your mother for a dollar tomorrow.” Best slam ever? I say yes.
