Eight Mile and acting

I liked this movie, but I wonder if Eminem has another expression. I mean, really! Cuddling baby sister – slack glare. Girlfriend says she misses ya – slack glare. Friend animatedly talking about possible gigs – slack glare followed by slamming friend into wall.

Was this a post modernist reaction to the stifling constrainsts of auteurs, or can he just not act?

Meanwhile, I thought Mekhi Phifer was going to take over the movie with raw charisma…

Apparently the response to this thread has been a slack glare.

::runs away giggling::

C’mon man. My homie Eminem’s jus keepin it real, know whut I’m sayin??!!

Word, dog.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I find singularly astonishing that Eminem is apparently being givien serious consideration for an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Not a nomination but an award.
The mind boggles.

Are you effing kidding me?! Cite? Are the media suddenly kissing this guys ass because they think it’s unpopular to kiss a contraversial characters ass (it’s not)? Or do they think that suddenly kissing his ass will sell more mags/get higher ratings? I mean I just don’t get this. The guy is a talented lyricist, but for gods sake he cannot act!
