Oh jeez HA - it is a sweet movie and loyd is nice and was my pretend boyfriend when I was teenager and he gave her his heart and she gave him a pen and DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND DAMMIT! ;) I haven't seen it in years but never really got a creepy codependency vibe from it but that's interesting and I'll keep that in mind next time I catch it on tv.

like when john mahoney asks him what he wants to do with his life and he's like, "i want to BE with your DAUGHTER" is that supposed to be cute?

well i could be overreacting i think the fact that jerry maguire happened later caused me to view earlier crowe movies suspiciously. though i love singles. also, i hate fun.

I think you may be over thinking that one a little too much.

i have seen so many of these goddamn movies. one of my sisters was obsessed with john cusack growing up and we had to see everything multiple times. this might help account for my feelings about say anything.

like has anyone else seen tapeheads more than once? probably not.

It used to bug me that Ione Skye was such a void in Say Anything when she's supposed to be this mind-blowing valedictorian genius, but the truth is that if they'd gotten an actress that really came off super-intelligent and challenging (like if Lili Tayor played the part) the movie would have lost a big slice of its fanbase - women who just wanna watch John Cusack be mr. dream supportive boyfriend. Its cult would probably be more like Dogfight's.

ha my sister was telling me they did a years later commentary track for say anything and crowe said incredibly complimentary things to mahoney and cusack about their work, and then any time ione was onscreen he was like, "you're so pretty!"

Ione Skye is p annoying in that movie tbh.

also, no sure thing on that earlier poll, so this one is very necessary
it's a thinktank for hairdressers.

that's part of the creepiness of the movie to me...it's like john cusack has just invented a person in his mind, which you do when you have an unrequited long-distance crush, but then the movie treats that crush like this exalted thing
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
yeah if i was lloyd i would have gotten rid of ione
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 22 June 2011 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it is weird, but for boys who do that and ladies who (at least think) they'd enjoy the attention (and since Ione is blank its easy to just push her out of the way of his gaze), SA is the UR-movie
― da croupier, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
I've seen Tapeheads more times than any other Cusack movie - probably more than all the others put together. What can I say? Ninja bitches.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
it also helps that the supporting cast is so terrific in Say, so its still pretty watchable once your past the blind crushage stage of life
Plus Eliot Gould and Barbara Streisand's lovechild is in it!

Crowe isn't a good writer of women. Look at Renee Zellweger in JM: she's a composite of several irreconcilable qualities. She's tough, cute, an imbecile, the mother of a horrible whelp, a careerist. It's like Crowe thinks these things that cancel each other out make for a three-dimensional woman.

I was all like, Where's Gotcha?, because I think of that one with One Crazy Summer and The Sure Thing. But it turns out not to be Cusack, though imagine if they'd dyed his hair blonde and blow-dried it for this.

I didn't see Say Anything until my 30s. Also I am British. Also I'm not nuts about In Your Eyes. Is that why I find it so overrated? It seems like a touchstone for a whole generation of American moviegoers.
