*at lunch, the restaurant was playing that “in your eyes” song and I kept pretending I had a boom box held over my head*
Kev: John Cusack…what else he been in?
ESC: Fidelity, and that movie where he’s stuck in a hotel with a bunch of people hiding from a serial killer…
Kev: oh yeah. He’s in that movie, too…with that girl from Legally Blonde…where she’s in school and he’s a teacher, and he cheats on his wife…
ESC: um um um Election! He’s not in that.
Kev: yes he is, I can picture it. It’s him. The same guy from Grosse Point Blank.
ESC: no! that’s not him. It’s someone else…who is it…who is it?
Kev: It’s John Cusack.
ESC: No it’s not.
Kev: John. Cusack.
ESC: no it ISN’T. stop SAYING his name, now it’s all I can think about! It’s NOT! JOHN! CUSACK!
Kev: yes it is. I KNOW it is. I can picture him.
ESC: that’s not a role for him! He plays the sensitive roles and gets rained on when he’s sad.
Kev: John Cusack.
ESC: shut up.
Kev: *whispers* John Cusack John Cusack John Cusack
ESC: gaaaaah!

ESC: shut up
*hours later*
ESC: MATTHEW BRODERICK!
I said John Cusack many more times that that!!!
yes you did. because you’re a shit.
This is why I love being near a computer when these moments happen. IMDB.com has settled many a dispute.
My friend Dan once bet me $25 that James Spader was the villain in “Some Kind of Wonderful.” Easy money.
You have to admit, Matthew Broderick and John Cusack do very similar roles.
Sixteen Candles was my favorite of his.
