I flip on the TV and see YET ANOTHER DMX action movie. Now is it just me or is there a new rapper + Steven Seagal/Jim Belushi/Jet Li/Etc... movie out every other week? Is anyone else as tired as I am of seeing this crap or am I in the minority once again? And yes, I do include "8 Mile" in this category.

You include "8-Mile" in the "There sure are a lot of action movies co-starring rappers these days" catagory, or the "These movies are all crap and I'm tired of them" catagory?



I sure could go for a REESE'S PIECES right about now
I wish I could work the random images thingy.

The latter and not the former. I didn't mean to imply Eminem was trying to become an action hero, I just think the rappers should leave the acting to the actors, and personally I could do without all the variations they try and bring to the table.

I actually found 8 Mile thoroughly enjoyable, and as long as Eminem never tries to act again he didn't disgrace himself. I do find the gradual merging of the singing and acting professions as highly disturbing though, especially when you hear such news as Britney Spears being considered for Die Hard 4-no joke, this is actually a distinct possibility.

Eminen would NEVER work in an action movie. What's he gonna say, "I hurl my skinniness at you, muthafucka?"

I feel bad Jet Li has to carry a movie with DMX. I saw Exit Wounds and when you're more wooden than Steven Segal, you have no business acting, or indeed even being a gaffer in a major motion picture.

I didn't mind the first crop of rap starts/action heroes, mainly because Ice-T and Ice Cube had some presence on the screen even if they picked horrid movies to be in. But now we're well through the third string and moving into the loud dorks in the bleachers in the rap star to screen recruiting drive.

Rappers fall into the catagory of pretty much everyone else that isn't a professional actor - they're pretty good at playing characters that are essentially themselves, and horrid otherwise.

For examples of the former, Eminem in 8-mile, Ice Cube in Friday, and numerous smaller parts (Snoop Dogg in Training Day and Busta Rhymes in Higher Learning come to mind). For examples of the latter, see pretty much everything else.

And where does Marky Mark fall into in this whol discussion?



It seems that I am - in no particular order - Zack Morris, John Adams, a Siren, Janeane Garofalo, Cheer Bear, Aphrodite, a Chihuahua, Data, Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel, Amy-Wynn Pastor, Hydrogen, Bjork, Spider-Man, Boston, and a Chaotic Good Elvin Bard-Mage.

As an off-shoot...

Roll out.

...

Back on topic, this is one reason why I avoid Jet Li flicks in favour of Jackie Chan. No rap, and better action (I find Jet Li a little too Hollywood.) Also, Jackie has the slapstick thing going for him, too.

Let's not forget the best actor of all rappers (I'm being serious so far), the late Tupac Shakur.

I remember all the hype when he did "Poetic Justice" with Janet Jackson, and even some from "Juice"

(aside: putting on the Eric B. and Rakim now)

But does anyone remember his first movie? The absolutely unwatchable "Nothing But Trouble". Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy, Dan Aykroyd. Also starring the atrocious Taylor Negron, Tupac Shakur, Schmoovy-Schmoov, Money-B, Shock G, and the inimitable Humpty Hump.

"All 'round the world same song..."

(Note: Schmoovy-Schmoov is the coolest name ever.)

First off, Nothing But Trouble is one of my favorite movies of all time (I kid you not). I always hoped that somewhere in this country, something like Valkanvania did really exist (And it may in the self-proclaimed "village" of Harbutowice where the sun rises in the west and the Miami Dolphins are king).

Also, Shock-G and Humpty-Hump are the same guy. That's the greatest secret in all of hip-hop history, and you heard it here on the Wienerboard.

Tupac was a great actor, Marky Mark is a great actor, Eminem was pretty good and Will Smith was a rapper BEFORE he became Mr. Hollywood. I don't think rappers are necessarily bad actors...they are quite good, in fact.

tupac -- never seen any of his movies...

Marky Mark is an ok actor. I liked Rock Star, Three Kings (Ice Cube is better than him), and i thought that The Big Hit was perfect for him. it went against his type and showed he could act, but he's no Anthony Hopkins (imangine Marky Mark from Big Hit in a flick with Luke/Owen Wilson...that would be interesting)

M&M -- never saw 8 mile

Will Smith is funny, but he's a comedy/action actor, but then again i never saw Six Degrees of Seperation where he got some acclaim.

I know if i'm going to see a Will Smith flick, it will be a funny ride and a good time, and that's what i want at the movies. a mindless escape. if i want a thinking movie, i'll get a DVD and watch it the comfort of my home theatre

See, this is whay I always hated Tupac and his "Thug Life" image.

Remember when he used to dance for the Underground, showing up in the videos, throwing out lame-ass rhymes? He wasn't too thugged out then, was he? Guess you can't get over being a backup dancer with no real "image."
