8 Mile Rd is one of a series of roads (there is also a 7 Mile, 9 Mile, 12 Mile, and so on) named for its distance from the center of Detroit. It is generally considered the dividing line between the haves and the have-nots, though this distinction has diminished significantly in the past few years. It does NOT separate the "black half" and "white half" of Metro Detroit. These so-called halves don't exist. The area is not segregated and never was.
8 Mile was recently put into the national spotlight after a movie of the same name starring rapper Eminem was filmed in the area. The film received good reviews and Eminem went on to receive an Oscar for Best Song.
However, it's worth pointing out that Eminem's character, "B-Rabbit" did NOT live on the bad half of 8 Mile. The whole damn point of the movie was that he lived in the "wrong" area and was of the "wrong" race, but still managed to gain respect from his peers.
Eminem, in reality, grew up in Warren, a lower-middle class suburb about 20 miles from Detroit.
8 Mile Rd is a lot nicer than it used to be.
8 Mile starred Eminem and sickly-looking Brittany Murphy.

Is to 2003 what Battlefield Earth was to 2000 and Swept Away was to 2002. A badly-made sex comedy starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez that few people have actually seen, but will still vouch as "worst movie of the century" because it's the cool thing to do.
"What movie should we see tonight?"
"Well, let's see ... Battlefield Earth, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and Gigli."
"Ugh, Gigli?! That's the worst movie EVER!"

A dumb term that my boyfriend made up. Normally morbid-like things are death etc. but noooo. If it made sense, it wouldn't be Brian. Morbididity to him means anything sad or a downer...It drives me crazy because IT IS NOT A WORD!!!
Is your journal full of morbididity today?
