'Destiny'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Found this quoted on LJ, but can't find the article:
"Katie Holmes may not be returning to the new Christian Bale "Batman" franchise, but pop singer and Cameron Diaz boy-toy Justin Timberlake is apparently eager to join the team. Timberlake has reportedly auditioned for the villainous role of Two-Face in the upcoming sequel, but is facing stiff competition from Liev Schreiber." -Salon.com
Ooh, Liev Schreiber!
JT looks like he's 12. A sexy wrong 12, but still: babyfaced.
Liev Schreiber would rock, providing he doesn't have that "I Can't Believe it's Not Selleck!" 'stache.
Heh. That's a spot-on article on Cusack. I ended up not going to the preview screening of Must Love Dogs last week, and from everything I've heard, it's a boring, formulaic rom-com without much redeeming value. Yet I'm tempted to shell out the bucks to see The Cusack in the theater doing that Cusack thing. I recall, there was even a tongue-in-cheek website a few years ago that campaigned to put him in the Oval Office.

That's a spot-on article on Cusack.
Except it ignores everything before Say Anything. Bloody late-comers thinking they get the John Cusack mystique.

I liked him quite a bit on Sure Thing and Better Off Dead, but I gotta admit he didn't really make me go WOW until Say Anything. Although... the characters he played in those earlier movies did have similar traits to Llyod Dobler.
John Cusack made me go WOW when I realized that he did Eight Men Out, Say Anything, and The Grifters in rapid succession, at the age of 21. Dude wanted to stop playing teenagers, and he pulled it off, and I had no idea he was that young in either of the non-teenager roles.
Really? I thought Say Anything was just another John Cusack movie after watching The Sure Thing and Better off Dead seventy gajillion times, and even seeking out Hot Pursuit and One Crazy Summer because, John Cusack! But perhaps my bemusement over him playing a college student when I was in High School and a High School student when I was in college colors my opinion too much.
(eta: And I can see why he'd keep coming back to the tried and true romantic comedies after the lack of recognition for Eight Men and Grifters )
