I met John Cusack back in the late 90s. He was at a NY Ranger game with sheryl Crow, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. I went right up to him and asked him to sign my ticket. I told him I loved him. He smiled, was very shy and signed my ticket. I kept the pen for years. I wanted to quote Say Anything, but I was shaking I was so nervous and couldn’t get any out.

@@sonablom actually I didn't like Serendipity. Think I dozed off at one point (not really a good recommendation - I saw Jumanji the next level over the summer when it was stinking hot here and we were surrounded by fires and I hadn't been sleeping. I don't go to the movies much anymore but I was happy to pay that much to hang out in ac for a couple of hours. But once I was sitting I started drifting off and thought: bugger, I'm gonna miss this but it started and I enjoyed it all thru despite my exhaustion so Serendipity meh. I think he just did that 1 to pay the bills) But then I wasn't hugely into High Fidelity either But you're right, he is quite charming. In a quiet way. That's 1 of the things I really love about him - it's like he specialises in the subtle performance. I believe that's how he held his own against the larger than life role of Nick Cage in Con Air

Eh, I’m not sure about High Fidelity. It’s hard for a lot of younger audiences to connect to it, honestly. Hyping you’re self up to talk to your partner, figuring things out. Buying records in person, actually having to talk to knowledge people to get solid recommendations. I personally am living in a country where record stores & movie rental places still are quite popular. But reaching out to friends & family in the west, hearing “ why didn’t he text her?” “ You can buy CDs at a store? Not just the library?” Broke my heart a bit.

Being John Malkovich was life-altering for me. For about an hour after the movie everything seemed possible. I had absolute clarity and confidence that everything happened for a reason. It all made sense. Unfortunately that feeling abated over the following days. I most enjoy his movies that question concepts of time and destiny: Serendipity, Hot Tub Time Machine, even America's Sweethearts had some moments.

One of my favorite actors because he has such depth, he can do any role. You fall in love with him and serendipity and then you love the music and question your relationships when you watch high fidelity to being scared s******* in one of his action movies or like Utopia where he just plays these evil geniuses. Never a bad performance.

Would have loved an acknowledgement of Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Hot Pursuit, The Sure Thing, Say Anything. None of them are "great" movies critically or artistically, but he was what made each of them special. I know the two he made with Steve Holland are a contentious subject with him, but both are rather dark-humored under their wacky, zany top layers. Arguably launched his whole career with them. Oh, well.
