"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
― 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

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.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:08 (sixteen years ago) link
that's nice.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:09 (sixteen years ago) link
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
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:10 (sixteen years ago) link
wouldn't you be an asshole to your friends if your friends were jack black and moby, tho?
― ghost rider, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:11 (sixteen years ago) link
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).
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:12 (sixteen years ago) link
jack black and moby are kind of like the only friends I have that I'm NOT an asshole to

Nevermind about Paul Rudd (although I wish we hung out weekly), I'm just talking about Cusack sketchiness.
― Jordan, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:13 (sixteen years ago) link
hahaha i'm not being dirty, morbius. i just don't like a word like "manboy." i also don't like it when kenan says "vagina." i'm picky.
really the best part of high fidelity is the fantasy scene where they beat the crap out of tim robbins.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:13 (sixteen years ago) link
yes
― ghost rider, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:14 (sixteen years ago) link

(about robbins-beating)

POLL: WOULD YOU FUCK TIM ROBBINS?
Y N ONLY IF SUSAN SARANDON WATCHED

also i cannot stand jack black at all but can tolerate high fidelity the movie.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:17 (sixteen years ago) link
jack black is actually my least favorite person ever, possibly.
Also Teh Piv.
The film is a million times better than the book.

btw Cusack ripped Robbins a new a-hole in press for supporting Nader in 2000. So yes, he's probably a jerk.
HiFid Film is different ... but probably not different enough.
Actually, nice ILX guys remind me of Todd Louiso (the shrinking, recessive clerk in HiFid).

High Fidelity is sort of gross but I do always watch it when it's on TV
― A B C, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link
I voted Tapeheads not just because it is my favorite movie ever dreamed up but also because that one part he reaches out the window (driver side!) of a moving vehicle and grabs a beer. Also because he dances more in that movie than in any other. That I've seen.
jesus stop xposting you assholes
― nickalicious, Thursday, 14 June 2007 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm not sure i find jack black more unwatchable or nick hornby more unreadable
am i the only one who sees john cusack and sometimes thinks 'fourth Beastie'? is it the hair and sunken cheeks? the Ione connection?
wait, where is City Hall?

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

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.
