My Own “8 Mile”
12 November 2007
Andy has posted a preview of my… uh, I mean his film, The Pull, on his news blog. Another friend refers to it as “your 8 Mile,” meaning the film about me and my theoretical struggle — the creation myth of my public persona. However, he’s recently redubbed it my Erin Brokovich, a designation whose full significance continues to elude me. Perhaps he is implying that it’s about my crusade for all that is right and good. I know it’s not because of how my jugs look in a spaghetti-strap tank top.
Anyway, just watch.
Awesome. I cannot wait to see the whole thing. When I say awesome, I mean YOU are awesome. I just adore you.
Maybe it’s your Shortbus.
MY “Shortbus” is on a video tape, and hidden in a drawer, just in case the other guys in it get famous.
It’s probably your Showgirls. Sorry, Elizabeth — maybe you should have followed Screech to Saved By the Bell: The Next Generation.
