Yt boy living in a trailer park watches his mom get clapped by his HS bully, watches his boo get clapped by his boy, and watches his homie shoot himself in the dick. In the end, he won a rap battle but still had to go home to a trailer and work at a plant. NIGGA BOOO

unlabelledView post →Visitors to Detroit sometimes wanna see 8 Mile. I usually try to figure out what it is they wanna see—is it the border disparity, is it something from the movie? There’s better examples of both. Bc most of 8 Mile just looks like this, buncha fast moving traffic and low, boxy buildings

unlabelledView post →Every time I watch 8 Mile I can’t help but think about how much better of a movie it would have been if Eminem’s character had all of his teeth and fingernails sharpened to points
unlabelledView post →My last text in a group chat (it's fine it's my text) : I just saw the kneecap movie and I didn't know it was going to be this good. I thought it was going to be a documentary but it's more like 8 Mile

unlabelledView post →The Scary Movie franchise is pretty commonly seen as dogwater, but there's few movies with scenes that live in my head quite like Scary Movie 3. The cop's hat getting wider after every cutaway? "... Are you okay?" Simon Cowell lit up in 8 Mile TV's leaking Cocking a shovel... Funny shit

unlabelledView post →First up: KNEECAP (the NEXT winner), Belfast-set hip-hop dramedy (mostly in Irish!), like a cross between DERRY GIRLS and 8 MILE. Hadn't heard much about this from my Sundancing pals but I liked it a lot. Not the tightest film, but full of energy and the music is great. Strong recommend.
unlabelledView post →If you'd be interested in a Belfast version of 8 Mile, with young Fenian drug dealers rapping in Irish, I strongly recommend the movie Kneecap, which is on Netflix now. Good craic.
unlabelledView post →Classifying 8 Mile the fictionalized life story of a white rapper as a Black movie is unhinged
unlabelledView post →8 Mile could’ve been an ok movie if Eminem had rapped like he actually sounded during that time / how he was on the Infinite EP
unlabelledView post →Because it is built off the location of the Michigan Baseline Survey, the Eminem film ~8 Mile~ could also be called ~Base Line~, which is a pretty great name for a movie about rap as well.
unlabelledView post →This movie has Cheddar Bob (8 Mile) too! It's like a repository for "That one guy" actors! #FrightClub #WishCraft
unlabelledView post →“8 Mile,” dir. by Curtis Hanson, is a film that deserves more celebration. Eminem's performance is a prodigy of sensibility.

unlabelledView post →Forget "is die hard a Christmas movie". It's time for "is 8 Mile a musical?"
unlabelledView post →The Michigan Theater Parking Garage is a stunning space. Movies from 8 Mile to an art film of queer alumni of the Ruth Ellis Center being dressed in Nick Cave soundsuits have been filmed there. It should really, really be expropriated from the Kefallinos slumlords and made into a public event space

unlabelledView post →I think 8 Mile probably delivers the greatest hero’s arch in film history. Can’t think of a much more satisfying way for a protagonist to come out on top, than to clown on his enemies and have a whole crowd of people on your side about it. Anybody who’s ever argued on the internet wants this.

unlabelledView post →8 Mile Per Hour might be a good name for a movie that combines a fictionalized account of Eminem's life story with Back to the Future
unlabelledView post →Eminem is the unattainable in the movie. There's an homage shot to 8 Mile at the beginning, Gavin in his grey beanie adjusting his headphones, which made me laugh out loud (nobody else in the cinema noticed). James Corden offers them sweets, then compliments their demo: "M&M? That's real hip-hop."
