Train Wreck

Get Rich or Die Trying

So Eminem surprised us with the 8^th Mile.  Turns out he’s a pretty good actor and he didn’t completely embarrass himself in the infamous music to moviestar cross-over at which so many celebrities fail.  But what about this new 50 Cent movie Get Rich or Die Trying?  As much as I love 50 and his maximum gangstaness, I think this film is going to suck.  First of all, who names a movie after an old and, frankly, overplayed album.  It seems to be saying, “Hey my last album might not have been as hot as you expected, but remember my first album.  Here, I’ll name a movie after it so you’ll never be able to forget that I was cool once.”  Secondly, I’m uncomfortable with the fact that suddenly “50 Cent” is only a middle name and now we’re supposed to call him Curtis Jackson.  How un-badass is that!  Anyway, I haven’t seen the film yet, but my general vibe of this whole thing is TRAIN WRECK.  Any thoughts?  Anyone seen a bootleg?

I think it is going to suck as well. Have you been to one of his concerts. Well I have and if his acting skills are anything like his concert skills then there is no way in hell this movie is going to break top charts at the theatres.
