I watched 8 mile last night - the only complaint - I wish it were longer. I thought the sex scene between Eminem and Brittney Murphy was one of the dirtiest (without actually exposing any compromising flesh) that I’ve seen in quite some time. Cheddar Bob was a great, endearing character - and his persona developed pretty well over the movie - without losing what made him, him.
Eminem is obviously no Clark Gable - but I think he’s got great screen potential.
Now, on a totally unrelated note, I have a question. Does anyone know of a cheap, quality place to get eyebrows threaded in the Greater Vancouver (preferably Burnaby) area? I’ve been getting them done in Abbotsford at an East Indian run hair & esthetics salon for quite a while, and I love the job they do - and it’s only $5.50! I tried getting it done at a place in Burnaby (Pillars Salon) - and the chick was a hack (sorry if you know her) and they charged $13.00. I know there must be better out there - please save me from the hot wax and tell me where it is!

I wouldn’t mind the recommendation of one downtown as well. I went to one on Davie St near my place, and not only did she do a shitty job, but it hurt a LOT more than I was told it would. It was like plucking, but a thousand times worse.
And people wonder why I wax… youch. That only hurts for a few seconds, this threading job she did hurt for a few hours.
Regarding 8 Mile: I feel sorry for Brittney Murphy’s character. She has a lot of sex, but it’s always the 2-minute no-foreplay thurst-while-standing kind. Now, that can be fun once in a while, but geez, the poor girl never gets any other sex.

Try asking Megumi. She has had her eyebrows threaded for years, she has it done in Vancouver and apparently it’s really cheap.
