gridloreI've just read yet another article praising Eminem's performance in 8 Mile.
OK. Let me see if I understand this. Eminem is a white rapper from a poor section of Detroit who has issues with his mother and women in general. He had to struggle for acceptence in the music world.
In the movie, he plays the exact same thing.
I will believe that Em is a good actor when he plays something other than himself.

Oops, that was my out loud voice.
I would also like to see him act in something non-autobiographical, although I have to say that I don't think him playing a cold-hearted son-of-a-bitch would necessarily be that much of a stretch either. :)
