Gosh darn it! I just had to click on that link you posted and I freaked the shit out of myself, again. I am so drawn to this movie now, even though it gives me the creeps. Guess what I am going to purchase tomorrow? Yup, you guessed it, I have to buy The Ring because I am so type of sicko

You know what's funny... I put the link on here... And I didn't even click on it to see how it looked! Well, until you told me that you got freak out about it... then of course I had to look to! Thanks!

does anyone know if 8 Mile is worth buying?

SapphireSphinx9 · #19 03-13-2003, 04:33 PM

I loved the movie... But I also love Eminem... So, maybe there's a bias with this one.

Have you seen it before? If you haven't, rent it before you buy it. Then you'll know whether you like it or not. If you have seen it, then I'd say go for it...

I saw 8 Mile last night and was horribly dissappointed! It was a waste of time, and it had such potential.

Def 2 thumbs down!

I almost went against your advice and was going to rent The Ring friday and watch it alone....(un)fortunatley, all the dvds were rented already....so I watched Sweet Home Alabama instead

I haven't seen 8 mile yet either...My students loved it and so did my best friend...she likes Eminem though....She says she has found guys in jogging pants more attractive ever since she watched it...lol It also was rented out at the video store

man...I'll be glad to get back to English Canada so I can start going to the movies again! (not that i don't like quebecois and french films, but they're just not the same!)

I thought 8 mile was phenomenal--although I may be a little biased seeing as I grew up in the area--it was more like a snippet of my area--and Eminem is a friend of a friend...you know how that goes...

I haven't watched many newer movies lately, but a few worth checking out in my opinion are:

East is East -- my boyfriend is English, so I can get the translations!

Best in Show -- I laugh every time I see this thing

Drop Dead Gorgeous -- again a few laughs.

What about My Big Fat Greek Wedding--I have been wanting to catch this one since it came out but never got around to it--is it as good as the reviews say?

i saw it but i wasn't as impressed as i thought i should have been

the whole Greek party scene after he converted to greek orthodox. . .is kind of a take from Bosnian people too. the whole 'opa' thing was around when my friends from bosnia would party. so, that's the only part i really liked. the rest of it had it's moments but i didn't see the 'phenomenon'

A lot of people didn't like 8Mile... But like I said earlier, I loved it. I think it depends on what your tastes are in movies.

Example:
Who went and watched Drumline??? I did, and I liked it.

Who saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I did, and I didn't like it... (Ok, I take that back) It's not that I didn't like the movie, it's just that I didn't think that it was worth all the hype. And I think the TV show STINKS!

But I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who disagree with me. And that's ok.

Ok, I have a question...

Has anyone seen the trailers to Bruce Almighty? What do you think about it? (for those who have no clue to what I'm talking about... It's a movie with Jim Carrey, and he's given God's powers for one week... Basically it's about what he does with these powers, and stuff like that. I think Jennifer Aniston plays his girlfriend...)

I've heard both sides, of how it's unethical, and how could someone watch a movie that is casually making fun of God and his powers... And then the other side, "Man, that looks funny!" What do you think?

Hmmmm, the two movies that come to mind the most are Almost Famous and Billy Madison! Billy Madison is one of the most quotable movies of all time, in my opinion. If I think of anymore movies, I will post them!

"What day is it?"
"October!?!"
