JOHN CUSACK Y

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

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

LIKE I SAID, CONTROVERSIAL CHOICE

i voted for better off dead because it is HILARIOUS

the cast of that movie is amazing though. i mean ray liotta? alfred molina? waht?

That movie is one of the greatest things ever filmed.

ugh im getting queasy just thinking about that fucking movie

WHORES DON'T GET A SECOND CHANCE

lololol dan you did not seriously vote for identity

why is there no "murder john cusack" option?

u jealous

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.

hahaha i have controversial opinions re that movie

i'm in ur yard
ruining cinema

"I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen."

Okay now I run away.

con air is awesome but this guy is mad suspect as hoe-bait w/o being an actual bro like paul rudd

ballsack more like

con air 4 life

oh man paul rudd

i love that guy

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.

yeah do a paul rudd poll

id let my chick do paul rudd, but not john cusack

No Sure Thing no credibility.

grosse pointe blanke fore life

"i'd let my chick"

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

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

what are you implying jess, that i dont have complete control over my nonexistent girlfriend??

can i watch?

id let my chick do paul rudd, but not john cusack

yeah this is essentially how it breaks down

paul rudd OR john cusack couldn't even DO your chick, do you people even know how fish work

ok guys let's not lose the plot of this poll, ok.

isn't that 'america's sweethearts'?

good point! belay that.

I'm nearly a Cusack completist, but have never seen Identity, Con Air, or America's Sweethearts (notably dissed by schef). Don't you ppl fucking read reviews first?

High Fidelity will be snubbed, too close for comfort for Men of ILX.

I think of Sure Thing/Say Anything/Grosse Pte/Hi Fid as the JC ManBoy Coming of Age Tetralogy.

that's nice.

also v v gross.

i mean, "manboy," ugh.

what are you trying to do to me?

w/o being an actual bro like paul rudd

This is an excellent point. I think Cusack is probably a lot like his High Fidelity character, all being an asshole to his friends except when he's single for a few days.

WHY DON'T YOU BOYS JUST START YOUR OWN "PAUL RUDD V JOHN CUSACK" POLL IF YOU ALL FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT THIS

wouldn't you be an asshole to your friends if your friends were jack black and moby, tho?

oh ain't seen Natty Gann either.

Serendipity is about as bad as I ever wanna see from him.

There is a diff meaning of man-boy as a NOUN, you doity-minded girl. You know a 28-year-old who acts 15 (again, ILX).

jack black and moby are kind of like the only friends I have that I'm NOT an asshole to

OMG WHERE IS ONE CRAZY SUMMER ARRRRHH ALLY WTF

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Serendipity (fyi this is the worst movie ever made)"

OTM OTM

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.

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."

^^^ this may happen again today

When did they start illustrating newspaper articles with oil portraits?

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

just saw new Say Anything DVD -- it's his iconic performance: Essence of Cusack. The "nervous talking thing."

Also forgot the name is DOBB-ler bot DOH-bler.

a sure thing? all my life I never had sure thing.

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.

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"

still w/ the "radical chic"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3310664/Edward-Snowden-meets-secret-John-Cusack-Arundhati-Roy-Daniel-Ellsberg.html

his performance in love and mercy is amazing. for someone who looks and sounds nothing like brian wilson, he somehow became brian wilson.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

Grand Piano was a fun little genre throwaway

his doppelganger is on irish youtube channel "facts"

(I forgot that the same guy did one of my favorite obscure genre movies of the last couple decades.)

Dylan Moran? xp

I remember I liked Maps to the Stars a lot, I wonder if there will be more or fewer of these Hollywood's-dark-underbelly type films in the post-Weinstein scandal world or if they'll take a different approach

xp

i actually don't even know his name

but it's this fella

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.

Obama describes Lula in his new memoir as "having the scruples of a Tammany Hall boss."

Just like a neoliberal - the arrogance is staggering.
What kind of scruples does a man have who authorized a drone assassination policy have ?- u say due process ?
Nah -Just have to use a magic word ‘Terror ‘ & you can have assassination Tuesday’s at White House -
