		<description>Why has nobody noticed that the whole movie is about how he has a CHOICE between the gun and the microphone and chooses the microphone.  Is anybody paying attention?</description>

		<description>Every body needs to stop hating on 50 cent and realize he is trying to make it in life like everybody else. Some people also don&#039;t see the gooD things he does.
DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TRY TO DIS 50 CENT.</description>

		<description>Many movies have glamorized violence in the past with similar marketing tactics as the movie â€śGet Rich or Die Trying,â€? movie such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Scarface, Bonnie and Clyde with Warren Beatty, and even Capone â€śThe man who made the twenties roarâ€? with Ben Gazzara. Each one of these movies used these very same tactics. To glamorize violence is to do just that, to make it more appealing, more sociably acceptable. Lets be realistic with this whole issue, weather itâ€™s a mic in the other hand or a beautiful women like in the poster used for Capone (1975)â€¦violence is violence and although it is unacceptable, it is a part of society. For my added opinion, this movie appears to be a break away from the norm and if given a chance will become a classic like Boyz n the Hood. The one major problem Curtis Jackson faces is that he has already made a first impression with society, and with the older â€śBaby Boomers,â€? who donâ€™t understand him, they fear him and believe he stands only for violence and drugs. These same people feel like â€ś50 Centâ€? is headed down a giant toilet drain and young America is happily following as if he where the Pied Piper.</description>

		<description>Right, so why wasn&#039;t she asking for sensitivity when Brad has his gun cocked and Angelina had hers tucked into her garter?  And, no, sorry, I&#039;m a New Yorker not a martian so I don&#039;t know why.  I kind of get into it on my blog and no, I don&#039;t see why one is different than the other.  Please advise.</description>

		<description>NO there wasn&#039;t but unless you are a Martian I Karol, think you know why.

Tish did a great job explaining that she wasn&#039;t asking for censorship, just sensitivity.</description>
