Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

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 )

Always Anti-fascist!

Maybe once you make out with your movie mom, it's a fork in the road.
