JOHN CUSACK Y

I wish the hell that the poll poster would actually list ALL the movies. I'd vote for Better Off Dead or for his brief five minutes in Roadside Prophets.

However, The Grifters wins for me.

Hey I love Being John Malkoitch Louis, but sorry, Grosse Point Blank will never ever lose my vote.

Also where is JOAN CUSACK poll k thx

Best line in GPB is by Joan Cusack!

Describing HER high school reunion: "It was as if everyone had suddenly swelled."

I will stick up for "Say Anything..." against a sea of haters but I voted for "Better Off Dead" because it might be the most realistic teen movie of all time. Especially the fact the French girl is obsessed with the LA Dodgers, and the other fact that Cusack wins the ski race against ROY FUCKING STALIN.

That hamburger dancing conjured my teenhood with excellent verisimilitude.

Describing HER high school reunion: "It was as if everyone had suddenly swelled."

Hahaha YES I LOVE THAT LINE. And how she says it too, she has a quirky talk-out-of-one-side-of-mouth thing going on.

ALso, her "ALL RIIIIIIGHT" at the end when she is smashing up the office.

And when John calls her "Sergeant Pepper". God I love that movie.

TAPEHEADS

I love some of Jim Thompson's books, so I have to vote for The Grifters.

cusack on letterman in about five minutes -- WILL YOU BE WATCHING

Ok you want to know that damn truth about why I don't like John Cusack? It's because I have a cat named Dobbler. As in, Lloyd, yes. I did not name this cat, my girlfriend and her hen house named this cat... I had no say. As many times as I explained that this is a girl kitten, they insisted that no, these little tufts of hair clearly indicate a boy. I tried to fight. I tried to say, "You city bitches, I have seen more cat genitalia than you can dream of -- we had tomcats in the barn and kittens squeezed out on the back steps." Nevermind that. It was VERY IMPORTANT to name this cat after a John Cusack character.

So now I have a cat that I cannot rename, that is of course a girl, that is named fucking "Dobbler."

I'm not bitter.

Kenan, once again your logic is peccable.

fuck you, faggot.

am i correct in my belief that cusack and piven are feuding? pretty sure this is a point in cusack's favor if true

Fuck man, I am gonna go home tonight and watch GPB again.

Nice comeback, tumbleweed. You kiss boys in Texas with that mouth?

JOEKS, kids all joeks. Sorry.

But yes.

haha I know! </jaymc>
seriously though stop using the word faggot, what are you, five or in college or something?

but you don't understand... some of my friends are GAY!!!

i'm going to bed

i saw the sure thing recently for the first time in at least 15 years. holds up nicely. i hear cusack IRL is a superdouche.

Dobbler is a fine name for a girl

it actually kind works, yeah. She a great cat, ask anyone who's met her, she's a sweetie. I guess I'm just mad because she's my cat now, and stuck with a name I did not pick.

I wanted name her "Quizno"

so wtf do I know

It reminds me girls named Greer or MacKenzie or some other random (usually) surname. Plus it's a cat so who gives a shit. Surely not the cat.

xpost

That or "Huxtable"

COME ON! These are great unisex pet names.

Plus it's a cat so who gives a shit.

I have grown to understand this.

BUT STILL. HOW CAN YOU NOT SEX A KITTEN?!

true hero

no. I failed. :(

CON AIR YOU FUCKS.

Also, if "Ice Harvest" gets any votes, I will continue to hate on all y'all.

I have seen more cat genitalia than you can dream of

this should be your comeback for every argument

I had to leave the room and collect myself after reading the words "You city bitches, I have seen more cat genitalia than you can dream of."

i'm just going to presume that kenan was planning on naming the kitten princess sparklepants, since he's so hung up on how "dobbler" is not a "girl name"

or he was just going to call it vagina

It's Dobler w/ one B, and you could pretend it's named after Conrad.

Shakey, the GPB hitman thing is a metaphor for a morally indefensible job, like the ones most of us have.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

you're all crazy

maybe kenan's scared that his girl cat's turned all faggot on him

motherfuck a gay cat. ferreal.

As many times as I explained that this is a girl kitten, they insisted that no, these little tufts of hair clearly indicate a boy.

There's a million-dollar movie pitch in this.

"It's Boys Don't Cry meets Say Anything."

Gal-passing-as-guy stands outside with a boom box, studies kickboxing, etc.

Seconded or thirded or whatever on the love for the inexplicably not-included The Sure Thing. I somehow appear to never have seen Say Anything, which seems wrong given my deep love for both teen films and John Cusack. He even made Serendipity nearly not horrible, FFS.

actually, his puppeteer character is the most ILX one.

It's a shame True Colors wasn't in this poll. Spader AND Cusack doing some intense politico screen-sharing (and Spader's actually the good guy).

I didn't read this thread before, but GPB is my favorite too, and I didn't know so many other people agreed. Hooray!

When you're stalked by a Leatherman

I have mild hopes for War Inc.

When did they start illustrating newspaper articles with oil portraits?

I think she has a wicked case of Rosacea.
Among other obvious problems.
