[movie zombie]

in case you haven''t seen this. pretty much sums up my frustration of the last 8 years and the problems with deregulation, corporate greed, and the latest transfer of wealth so that banks can pay dividends to shareholders and bonuses to the jerks that got us into this financial mess in the first place. not going to get into a debate with anyone re any of it, but i do want to share this article on the eve of what may be the most important election of my life time:

I

John Cusack. I haven''t read it yet, but I will in a little bit.

 

[iheartscience]

I just read that! Who knew he had it in him?!

 

[MoonWater]

Whoa...

I''ve loved Cusack since I was er, I dunno, 10? I always said I was going to marry him. It was a running joke among my friends, I heart John Cusack. But that was just because I thought he was gorgeous and I loved his movies. Now, my god, I love his mind! I may have to leave DH! LOL

Really, who knew?? I mean, he even named dropped Fukuyama!

i posted in the celeb crush thread that John Cusack totally "does it for me"

reading his blog just reinforces that thought...

Oh man...does it for me doesn''t begin to describe hahaha. I didn''t realize he written several times for HuffPost, I need to catch up! I''m still amazed that I''ve crushed on him all this time not knowing his interests. I need to be more of a fanatic so I can know these things! Big brain alert! *drool*

 

[ChargerGrrl]

don''t mean to threadjack, but had to post this https://pol.moveon.org/donate/cusack.html?rc=homepage

John Cusack is THE MAN!

ladies, i had no idea! i''m glad i posted this! i''ve been reading his posts at huffington for awhile now and he''s a very bright and articulate as well as HOT man.......just like i like them. anyone else see his film WAR, INC.?

movie zombie

 

[MoonWater]

I haven''t seen War, Inc yet but it''s officially on the list. I haven''t had much leisure time for films but I was collecting Cusack films for a while there, I think I need to pick up that habit again!

 

[miraclesrule]

The first movie I saw John Cusack play the lead....I ended up watching at least 20 times. I love that guy. I am so surprised he wrote this. I never saw the political side of him. I like that he didn''t actually even endorse Obama. I think it took "two to tango" in the collapse of the market dominance and bailout. It was both parties, either actively or passively.

But anyway, Rock on John Cusack. Very well written.

War, Inc is simply brilliant. I wrote an extensive term paper on the military industrial complex as it relates to political theory [Arendt, if anyone is interested] and I drew pretty heavily from the film. The guy is brilliant.

Miracles- You hit the nail on the head there. I wouldn''t pause for a second before saying that one of the two major political parties has played the dominant role in the de-regulation of markets, etc, but Obama''s essentially neoliberal policies are one reason why I do not support him 100%. The Democrats are all wrapped up in it, and I just can''t get behind that.

 

[movie zombie]

i''d rather talk movies. everyone: please don''t take it personal but there are enough threads in which i can read about why pricescopers are voting or not voting for another candidate. i posted this article as it is a super articulation of how i feel and think. i should have said, though, that it reflected my opinion not just for the last 8 years but rather for the last 8 years and more....which would have been more accurate and inclusive. JC didn''t push for one candidate or another and he didn''t say who he was voting for or not voting for....and i''d rather not have this thread go that way.

JC was in some other movies that i liked: MAX, CRADLE WILL ROCK, and of course, HIGH FIDELITY and BEING JOHN MALKOVICH. the first two are political in subtext and interesting: MAX set in germany between both world wars and CRADLE in NYC during the depression. said another way, they''re both set between the 2 world wars and during the world depression! silly me! odd how typing something can make the obvious, well, obvious.

ps i''m sick of this election.

 

[coatimundi_org]

He''s just great.

One of my all time favorite movies is Better Off Dead.

1408 was good too--he does a bang up job.

...and I loved Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity, and many many more!

 

[MoonWater]

Coati!! Yay!!

an existential nightmare! I thought it was well done. I have subsequently felt a little paranoid in hotel rooms, but I have an overactive imagination.

Ohhh...John Cusack for prez! Loved him ever since Better Off Dead! And he''s smart!

He was in my out-of-the-way part of LA filming ''Must Love Dogs'' (I know, not one of the better ones!) a few years ago, and I literally passed him in the street one night coming out of a restaurant with DH. He''s TALL. I didn''t say anything to him, but we totally made eye contact...and DH completely failed to register who it was until I said "Did you see who that was???"
