When I Google search my name (which, yeah, I do, and yeah, I know it’s one of the more egregiously self-absorbed things you can do in the modern world) I am pleased to see people quoting my Rotten Tomatoes blurb for Get Rich or Die Tryin’, the 50 Cent “biopic”:
"50 spends the film with one look on his face, and it’s the look that you imagine a caveman would have when confronted with a cellphone."
Christ I’m witty! Despite that withering criticism, Hollywood has opted to put Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in another movie. It’s called Live Bet, and it’s about underground clubs where people bet on illegal car races. It’s being written by the Bros Parlapanides, who probably got this opportunity based on Charley taking lots of shit from Scott Rudin – he was the producer’s assistant. Other brother Vlas has written a film or two no one ever heard of. I bet you these guys read this site – it’s always the screenwriters who read CHUD, and it’s always the ones I poop on who email us. (PS, if you are a screenwriter and I am pooping on you, feel free to email me directly at devin@chud.com. No need to go through Nick!)
Anyway, Live Bet is being described as a character based heist film, which makes no sense as 50 has no character on screen.
