While watching television today, I couldn't help but notice all the attention that Eminem's first movie "8 Mile" is getting. Not only is it getting attention, but more so, critical acclaim.

I for one, will be going to see it. For some reason, Eminem sparks this interest in me. He is a complex character, and even though I can't put my finger on it, there is something about him that makes me really interested in his works.

Now, with that being said, this is what I am trying to understand. Jon has done, how many movies now? 5 or 6? Sure, we might think they are all great, and even one or two have gotten decent reviews. However, what gives Eminem's movie all this attention vs. movies that Jon has done? 8 Mile is getting HUGE promos, and all the critics are impressed with his acting ability.

The thing that gets me, is it's his 1st film and he's getting all those things Jon wishes he was getting. Can someone figure this out because I can't. I am not offended or upset either way. I just find it interesting how the industry works!

Take Care,
