Much ado is being made about Eminem's new flick 8 Mile (as if you didn't know) but I don't plan to go to a theatre and see it. The story of how a Rapper makes it into the Music Biz has about as much appeal for me as cutting my toenails. I've also never liked his music except for "Stan" and that was because I like Dido.

Ok, the whole "homophobia" deal has something to do with it. He's supposedly mellowing or starting to calm down or something. Whatever. I don't plan to add to his bank account by paying to see the movie. In my mind, adding to his Bankablility adds Cred to his music and the last thing I want is to perpetrate his musical message which, clever as it may be, still comes from a place of anger and hate. Given a choice, I'd rather not go there and I'll wait till it comes on HBO where I can turn it off when I want and go a Million Miles away.

Little Tykes Talking Vanity

Good Morning! WHOA! What the fuck happened to you? I mean, uh, not that you look bad or anything but, uh... wow. Long night huh? Well good thing you came here before you went outside. Lessee... I got a hair dryer. Oh, yeah. Well hair is way overrated. Really, if you're gonna go for Vanity, why go with something like hair. Let's look at some of your more outstanding features. Like, uh, your eyes. That's it, eyes. You got some eyes there, buddy. I don't say that to all the Tykes, trust me. Two of em, right there on your face. That is your face, right? Kidding! Ha, ha, just a little Talking Toy Humor there. Lessee... I got lipstick. Oh, yeah, right. Well why wear lipstick? Lipstick is just another tool of Corporate America trying to sell you product by making you think you need to look better. I know I'm not supposed to say all this stuff but, hey, we're going for Vanity. Work with me here. How bout you sit down on my Little Stool and just take a deep breath. In with the Good Air, out with the Bad. There ya go. See, you can breath! Not bad, huh? Gotta be pretty Vain to keep breathing. Some people don't care about the way they look and next thing you know, BAM. No breathing. But you Buddy, you just look in my mirror and keep up the ol' In and Out. Well, looks like my job is done. What? Uh, yeah, I guess I could Talk some more but wouldn't you rather just bath in your own image? Isn't the fact you can actually see it's own reward? Frankly, I have to go do some things but I'll be back later. While I'm gone though, you keep it up. Focus on the things you have and believe me, you'll be full of Vanity in no time. I know my shit man. Ok? Ok, I'm just gonna go recharge my batteries and trust me, when I get back, you and I, we'll talk all you want. C'ya.
