Yeah but Con Air has Nic Cage = ultimate frowny face.

jessie monster, Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Whenever he's in movies now he looks like he's wearing a bunch of mascara.

If I were to vote, I'd vote CON AIR

jessie monster, Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link

But fuck all u I am voting for Natty Gann b/c it has A WOLF and a plucky heroine. Also I was at v impressionable tuff-girl age when it came out.

Laurel, Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link

i voted for the obvious choice because i am pathetic and lame

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link

IDENTITY was so bad i almost threw up in the movie theater; i had a visceral reaction to how awful it was. i wanted to die.

oh my god the end of that movie is like completely batshit insane

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:51 (sixteen years ago) link

LIKE I SAID, CONTROVERSIAL CHOICE

HI DERE, Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:52 (sixteen years ago) link

Say Anything is my favourite ever film. Of all time ever since I was born. With that confessed, I am now going to run away.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:57 (sixteen years ago) link

seriously if paul rudd called me right now and said "hey i'm moving to, i dunno, south africa and you should come with" i'd be like "yes you are correct" and none of you would ever see me again. same if john cusack did that actually but i think i'd prefer to live in maybe argentina in that instance.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:59 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah do a paul rudd poll

actually serendipity is rendered vaguely classic by Walken showing up out of nowhere with boxes of reels at the end

TOMBOT, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:01 (sixteen years ago) link

of course I was just kind of desperate for anything not totally lame to happen at that point so prob. biased

oh paul rudd you are like a younger so therefore more attractive jon cusack

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"

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 15 June 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link

or he was just going to call it vagina

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 15 June 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

motherfuck a gay cat. ferreal.

kenan, Saturday, 16 June 2007 02:45 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

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.

ailsa, Saturday, 16 June 2007 14:52 (sixteen years ago) link

actually, his puppeteer character is the most ILX one.

Dr Morbius, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:56 (sixteen years ago) link

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).

How many times a pivotal scene in a John Cusack film involve him sitting or standing in the rain at night? I can only think of Say Anything and High Fidelity, but it seems like it happens more often than that.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 August 2010 06:45 (thirteen years ago) link

One of the most iconic ‘80s movie moments by one of the most iconic ’80s movie stars is in 1989’s Say Anything. John Cusack’s Lloyd Dobler, in a last-ditch attempt at wooing the girl of his dreams, hoists a boombox over his head blasting Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes.” Even people who haven’t seen the movie likely know the scene.

In a surprise appearance over the weekend, Cusack made a cameo at the Hollywood Bowl for Peter Gabriel’s concert commemorating the 25th anniversary of his breakout album, So. During the portion of the concert where Gabriel revisited the seminal classic, Cusack handed the boombox to Gabriel who launched into song as he held it over his own head. Say Anything director Cameron Crowe was also in attendance and received a shout-out later in the show.

i bet Cusack still wishes he could've been onstage with Fishbone handing them a boombox before they play "Bonin' In The Boneyard"

haha yes I thought that too, and he didn't even seem to be trying too hard it was just this odd situation where his personal tics matched up with Brian Wilson's with a minimum of tweaking.

idgaf about the rest of the movie tbh

why couldn't he find some cool HBO show for himself?

scott seward, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:09 (six years ago) link

this guy is probably one of the few actors who i thought was pretty cool and just did a complete 180 and went to shit

he seems to have some interesting ideas but they don't transfer over to his actual work/characters

F# A# (∞), Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:17 (six years ago) link

i feel like he doesn't have a place in nu-Hollywood. He should do the TV show route or show up in a Marvel movie, i guess those are the remaining two options for any actor now.

omar little, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:20 (six years ago) link

he looks like he plays a lot of poker in vegas or something. he's not THAT old.

scott seward, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:21 (six years ago) link

I loved him as Nixon in The Butler, would happily watch an John-Cusack-as-Nixon mini-series on HBO.

he's great in The Paperboy as well, I think he's best when playing creeps, weirdos and/or perverts

soref, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:21 (six years ago) link

all his photos in recent years he even looks like a poker player. lots of baseball caps. i think maybe he partied vv hard after the Cubs won the Series.

just did a complete 180 and went to shit

There's an old Hollywood maxim that you can only play what you're offered. And when he was a medium-wattage movie star, when it came to producing his own stuff it eventually ended with the very underwhelming War, Inc.

Anyway the guy had a p decent run for 20 years beginning in '85. I didn't like the films that Cronenberg and Spike Lee cast him in, but as long as he's on the radar of guys like that he should be OK for character parts.
