JOHN CUSACK Y

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"

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 -
