Agree!!

I think if you made one of them yard signs available you'd sell like 10 or 15. I really do.

I could watch him and John Cusack order eggs all day

thenoirgal.bsky.social•19 days ago

Honestly one of my favs of all time, perfect comfort movie

afflxxxvixlvii.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes, that’s one of his better post 80s roles.

minniebeee.bsky.social•19 days ago

one of John Cusack's biggest cutie roles

City of Cathedrals!

agree completely, just rewatched this a couple weeks ago, holds up great

I will always remember showing this movie to the extended family because I loved it, and they hated it so much. I remain disappointed in them.

You mean there are people who disagree with that ??

My favorite movie ever and that rare 90's comedy where there's a joke about a character being mistaken for being trans and it's fine and nobody's upset or weird about it!

WHO IS LIKE THE BEAST? WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR WITH HIM?

Maybe, but it can't hold a candle (or dicknose) to Nothing But Trouble

labbla.bsky.social•19 days ago

So good

GPB was a great movie but i have to dock it points for being one of those movies that gives guys what is nowadays known as "fight club brain"

I just saw a wild interview with Minnie Driver, where she said they improv-ed most of the film because the script was so unfunny

constantcait.bsky.social•18 days ago

Good, I'm glad they did that, because they made the movie into one of my all-time favorite comedies.

spacetwinks.bsky.social•19 days ago

lmao for real? incredible!

ME? Go G? On YOU?? NOOO!

Rewatched it just last week. So good. Also one of Joan Cusack’s best supporting roles!

"It's not a soup, it's a base!" is spoken often in our household.

Great soundtrack, too!

spacetwinks.bsky.social•19 days ago

i have to wonder how much of that was influenced by john cusack himself who is a big big fucking music nerd, particularly for ska

geek19.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wasn't it Joe Strummer? Slash did Cusack hire him?

spacetwinks.bsky.social•19 days ago

popcorn!

quite possibly my favorite B+ actor. not in terms of 'b movies', but overall skill. he cannot fix a bad script, but when he's on, and he's having a good time, it's great.

Underrated world-builder too, not just for Ghostbusters but for The Blues Brothers (we won’t talk about the sequel though).

Me, casually watching my wife go through every season of “the Connors”: you’re not wrong!

spacetwinks.bsky.social•19 days ago

the man is fucking incredible and does not get his dues for it. it's more obvious when in stuff like Barton Fink, but his skill even while working in schlock stuff shows how good he is. i should fucking watch the Flintstones movie sometime just to see how he does with it.
