Went for GPB. I fucking love that movie.
― Trayce, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I've never gotten the GPB love - is Cusack supposed to be believable as a hitman...?

It doesnt matter that he isnt! I just find the film really fun and funny. Esp the dialogue between Cusack and his shrink.
― Trayce, Thursday, 14 June 2007 23:09 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean it's hardly Heat or some shit.

Grosse Pointe Blank for that scene with Jeremy Piven, when he learns that a classmate's now working at a Pizza Hut: "Mm. Let's not go there."

the awesomest part of gpb=the part where akroyd is chasing cusack in the cars and cusack starts rambling something about how he can't go through with the whole thing because he is in love and it is a life-changing experience and then it cuts to akroyd saying the exact same line.

one person has mentioned being john malkovitch, ONE FUCKING PERSON. there's either a pernicious backlash at work here or I am a CORNY INDIE FUXX. thing is, the movie is so unrelentingly awesome that i'm perfectly happy to accept the latter.

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."
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 15 June 2007 01:32 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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.
― Trayce, Friday, 15 June 2007 01:41 (sixteen years ago) link
And when John calls her "Sergeant Pepper". God I love that movie.

cusack on letterman in about five minutes -- WILL YOU BE WATCHING
― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 15 June 2007 04:07 (sixteen years ago) link
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."

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.

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.
― gershy, Friday, 15 June 2007 05:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Dobbler is a fine name for a girl
― marmotwolof, Friday, 15 June 2007 05:06 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― kenan, Friday, 15 June 2007 05:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I wanted name her "Quizno"
so wtf do I know
― kenan, Friday, 15 June 2007 05:08 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

That or "Huxtable"
COME ON! These are great unisex pet names.

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."
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 15 June 2007 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link
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
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.
