I well love Eminem

I work part time in a record store, and our biggest seller for 2010 was this.

Ugh, Eminem... Brings back (bad) memories of one of my worst movie-going experiences... going to see 8 Mile... I hate Eminem, and I hate modern rap music, but I went to see it because someone I was very close to at the time REALLY wanted to see it (and I was obviously more susceptible to stupidity)... We went to see it at a very busy time, shortly after it opened, so we had to join a queue to get into the cinema, and when we finally got in, we had to sit in the side seats (where I never go), because all the middle section was full, and we had people next to/directly in front of/behind us, so I felt really uncomfortable sitting through a movie I really had no interest in watching... It was a relief to finally get out of the cinema, and I saw other movies with this person I would never otherwise go out of my way to watch, but that was the worst one I remember going to...
