Only one of the best actors, in my totally objective and uncolored view, of all time. He plays real guy, “everyman” characters. Guys, how can you not relate? And girls, how can you not fall for him? Gotta love his earlier stuff from the 80s.
Krys Brezinski is watching John Cusack films.

That’s 33 out of 50, if I counted right. I watched Bob Roberts, Broadcast News, and The Jack Bull this afternoon. None of those movies were that noteworthy, although Broadcast News frustrated me in that I couldn’t spot Cusack anywhere in his role as “Angry Bike Messenger.” Oh, well. At least I’m getting close.
I even signed up for a Netflix account so I could do this easier, although I’m stressing out over the fact that Grandview, USA, Tapeheads, Elvis Stories, Floundering, and This Is My Father are all not available on the site. I’ll have to find some other way to see them. I’d hate to be foiled, so close to my goal.
I’ve seen 18 movies. Looking forward to meeting him:-)

I saw One Crazy Summer again recently – the video store was selling their copy for $2. What an insult. I had to buy it because this was the only video store I knew that had it. The plus is that we can always watch it, the negative is that no one else can…
