Check out the new John Cusack Movies (remotely related) poll!

What's going to happen first - this is the news to our momentary poll you'll find on the left, btw - John Cusack's gonna be nominated for another academy Awarad (a) or will he join the famous ranks of the few americans who can claim the his/her ex-partner made it as at least the vice president of the united states (b)?

Me personally, I'm all for choice a) (and not stating any political opinion of mine with that) of course, just because it's my believe that he really deserves starring (or starring *and* producing, maybe? well see) in another possible entry on everybody's all-time-favorite lists very soon. So, what do you think ? Head over to the left side of this blog and let us know !

Uh, btw - if you have no Idea to which ex-girlfriend of his I'm referring, check out the news-quote and the article I got it from, just down below (found on gawker.com). He's got a good taste in women, I have to leave him to that.

Profiles In Courage: Just How "Close" Were Hillary's Right Hand Lady And John Cusack? - Gawker
Looking through Abedin's closet, you can see the progression from a young college graduate who wore Ann Taylor suits, thrilled to land a job as an intern in the White House, to, eleven years later, a Chanel-wearing, deeply confident 32-year-old woman whose BlackBerry contains some of the most famous names in America--she lets me look only if I agree not to say who. (I do manage to learn she has been close with actor John Cusack and Lance Armstrong.)
Uh, ok! Is "has been close" the new euphemism for, at least in Cusack's case, "dated for two years"? We're going with... yes.

So, that's it for now - time to hit the poll for you guys and gals.

Cya Later !

The last place in the world you'd expect to find references to John Cusack Movies

We'll - not really the last, blog authors are pretty
common to be pretty creative people when it comes to finding stuff to write about, but nonetheless, this blog entry caught my attention because of his almost philosophical nature - and, if I may be so blalantly honest, because the author seems to be a reall cool dude. This opinion of mine is of course solely based on the fact the he agrees with me on a certain topic, being that John Cusack Movies(well, most of them, at least) tend to teach the mindful viewer some hidden or not so well hidden(Serendipity as a movie title isn't very subtle regarding possible philosophical implications, but well) facts and lessons about life in general.

This is the one major line, taken from the novel to your favorite flick "High Fidelity", the author of this(occasionally pretty damn funny) blog deems worth quoting:

"You just have to smile and take it, otherwise it would drive you mad.” Hornby was referring to women (at first I typed girls, my Psych 101 instructor would say that subconsciously I yearn for a simpler times where women were girls and I was a boy…where as 19 year old Josh wouldn't listen to that Prof and just punch 24 year old Josh for using the world “Yearn”). I think that quote is the perfect description of the fairer sex, maybe even of life."


I really can't come up with anything to add right now, this is *sooo* profound. Although that part where the author talks about his seemingly splitted personality scared me. A little.

Medley Madness of most of the Best John Cusack Movies on YouTube

Searching around the web today, I stumbled upon this nifty little YouTube treat I really wanted to share with you guys.

It's amazing what some people manage to put together in their own precious free time.

If you have
seen and liked one or two of them, you'll be amazed, if you watched and loved most of them, you'll probably immediatly feel so overwhelmed by teenage memorys (among others) that you will be hardly able to resist the immediate urge to grab one (or more) of his DVD's out of your personal collection and watch it all over again. Or, if you happen to not own them, most probably head over to a place like amazon and try to get your hands on one of those (The link will guide you to the better off dead-page in amazon, but if you scroll down, you'll find most of his real classics in the .

For the list-fanatics, here are all the movies of which, in one way or another, scenes should appear within clip. Without any particular order, those are:

Martian child
