anyone get into 8mile?
 

went to two seperate theaters tonight, good hour early for both and there were signs on the doors both times saying they were completely sold out for the day.

anyone get to see it tonight? was it half-way decent?

i'm curious

yeah, i saw it. my girlfriend works a block away from the a theatre, so she picked up tickets on her lunch break.

the movie is really good, and definetly worth seeing.
not to mention brittany murphy is hot.

I've created a monster,
cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more
They want Shady, I'm chopped liver (huh?)
Well if you want Shady, this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that'll jump start my heart quicker
than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
by the doctor when I'm not co-operating
When I'm rockin the table while he's operatin (hey!!)
You waited this long, now stop debating
Cause I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovu-lating
I know that you got a job Ms. Cheney
but your husband's heart problem's complicating
So the FCC won't let me be
or let me be me, so let me see
They try to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty, without me
So, come on and dip, rum on your lips
Fuck that, cum on your lips, and some on your tits
And get ready, cause this shit's about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits,
FUCK YOU DEBBIE!

Yeah I saw it tonight.

It was pretty good actually.

How does Detroit look in it?

Took both my boys and a friend of theirs to the noon showing locally. Theater wasn't even half full. Sure it was a different story this evening.

Wasn't bad at all. Least it'll have 1 week at number 1 before Harry Potter hits.

8 Mile Rules! I really liked it.

Harry Potter is gunna Kill everything in its way.

Nothing can or will beat that Harry Potter Guy.

Not even Yoda in his prime.

I see Harry Potter being #1 for several months

Fucking Crazy, but Brillant!

I think Two Towers and Matrix/Hulk releases will take over.

If Detroit is accurately portayed by that movie, I honestly do NOT want to visit - you have nothing but ghetto ass empty run down buildings and trash all over the place?

Uhh yeah, most of it. Thats what happens when all the white people leave cause the black population riots during 60s. Left behind a wasteland. But all around Detroit (why they call it 8 mile) whitey built all his burbs and left the gutted city to the black population. So its a big ring of whitey around a rotten core. fascinating stuff. history in action.

Detroit is a scary place. I drove through it and got shot at thrice.

thrice? Do you feel a bit outta place? like maybe you belong in the 18th century or something man?? :P

Wow. I didn't realise that. Figured it was named 8 mile cause it was just some small burb 8 miles away.

I think tonite I will read up on some american history.

Or finish this chapter of lone wolf and cub... hmm

Actually 8 Mile is the name of a road. Rich White people live on the north side of 8 Mile, Poor people live on the south.

Errr not exactly.

8 mile is the border of Detroit and the burbs. And I wouldnt call Sterling Heights, Roseville, St Claire Shores, Eastpoint, or any of them... "rich". They just lower class white ghetto. Thats where Eminem is from. And gay shit like ICP and Kid Rock.

LOSE YOURSELF: Lyrics

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?

Yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how?
Everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out: Time's up!
Over, plow!
Snap back to reality
Oh, there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's pro
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook: x2]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go (oh)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me King, as we move toward a
New world order
A normal life is borin, the superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows us all over
These hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
They moved onto the next schmoe who flows
He nose-dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old, partner, but the beat goes on
Dada-dum, da-dum, da-da-da-dum

[Hook x2]

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this muthafuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepped, writin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the Pied Piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
that I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer
This is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
Baby-Mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's gotten me
To the point I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only muthafuckin' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go, it's my shot
Feet fail me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got

[Hook x2]

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

i think Lose Yourself is definetly one of his best tracks.
double check those lyrics tho...

Didn't see it... From the trailer, it looks like it might be more than just an Eminem vehicle, but frankly I don't think the guy deserves this much attention. He's just not that talented or interesting. Just happens to be a white guy who Dre thought was cool.

Saw Harry Potter instead. Loved it.

I love Labret!

I've been to St Claire Shores, and will be again in december. I didn't see it at all as being a "lower class white ghetto"...certainly not rich, but my friends home included a family room, living room, dining room, eat in kitchen, 4 bedrooms, deck around the pool and a pretty big yard..also a full finished basement. If that's lower class...you MUST be rich! :winkwink:

Ever tried Hollywood.com? You can buy tickets in advance, you still have to stand in line to pick up the ticket (which sucks, and which Hollywood.com should fix), but you will have a ticket.

I bought tickets from hollywood.com for jackass. At the theatre there was atm looking machines where you just swipe the credit card you orded them with, and it gives you your tickets.


My take on guys like eminem and what not is its all such marketing. Now that his daughter is growing up he says he isnt going to smoke drugs in the open. Yea, but its ok to influence every young wigger into thinking pot is cool. hypocrite.

Yeah, bad generalization on my part. The closer you get to Lake St Claire the nicer the houses get.

Yeah I also remember being like right on the lake, as we were leaving a wedding...I was totally smashed, and it was raining, maybe at this point we we're in St Clair anymore....but some of the houses were just amazing.

I'd rather live there than here!!! :(

I like Fandango.com a little better because you can print your own tickets for most movies (although you usually get the stupid fuckface with the IQ of swiss cheese wondering if the tickets are real or not)

Really? After my experience with Hollywood, I went back to either buying tickets in line or from a machine in the theatre (like someone mentioned above). I didn't know Fandango let you print out your own ticket. I wonder what they do to prevent counterfeiting?

They offer 'print at home' tickets in about 40 or 50 theaters nationwide. If I use Fandango, it's for a local theater where they have a kiosk to pick them up at rather than having to still stand in line at the windows.

Different theater chains use different online ticketing groups. I don't have any local to me that use Hollywood.com.

In a few years he'll be as popular as Vanilla Ice.. :1orglaugh

Pot is cool. :rasta

they showed all the shitty parts and they had a fabricated st andrews for the main club they went to. the rest of it was pretty shitty and they didnt show any of the few half way decent areas we have downtown.

the trailor park that the movie was shot in was on the north side of 8 mile, i wouldnt exctly call that a rich neighborhood. you gotta go further north to get the more ritzy double wide trailors.

They faked it? Like filmed it elsewhere and called it St Andrews? Thats mad gay. St Andrews is my favorite place for shows. Esp when they have shows at the Shelter as well so you can see them both. You ever been to Mr. Muggs?

It sounds gay alright

man, film critics are fucking losers...make up your own mind dipshit!

they actually called it the shelter... which was true. it was the closest thing to having a real name in the movie. they had everything setup to look close to the alleys and stuff around st andrews but the actual building was some kind of set they built that looked kinda like a old church similiar to st andrews but it wasnt really that close. no i never even heard of mr muggs. i go to st andrews for any hiphop show they have there and i go on sundays some times. i used to go fridays (which they were reiacting in the movie) but now a days it sucks. its my favorite place to go cause i never have to pay cover any shows there and its more up close, i cant stand shows at the palace and places like that.

I'm glad someone said it. :thumbsup
