8 Mile

I finally got around to seeing 8 mile. It was decent, but it lacked in the whole conflict - resolution thing. At least to me. The conflict that they were trying to push, social standing & confidence, wasn't pushed enough for me. There were other conflicts that stuck out more.

There was also a few unexplained things that bothered me. His girlfriend that he leaves, what was with that? If he hates living with his mom so much, why did he leave her, with the car no less? Brittany Murphy seemed kind of randomly placed. Her whole role was to tell him he was going to make it. Isn't that what Future was for?

As far as Eminem acting, he was fine. He had easy competition.

I don't necessarily need a movie to end with everything fine and dandy. If there isn't much carrying the movie though, it helps.

Privacy & Mystery

On Salon there is an article about this women who has been in a relationship with a guy for 5 years. The thing is, she doesn't know where he lives. Apparently he is incredibly secretive and private. He has all his mail sent to his mom's home, his address on his licenses is his mom's, etc.

On to my point, I love this guy. I wish I could pull off something like that. I don't think I have enough to offer a significant other to make up for it though. I'm just not that charismatic. Funny.

Yeah For Me

I'm a licensed motorcyclist.
