How did you not get a walk on roll in one of the Hughes movies?

I think my ex-wife was in the Wallace Bowl scene in Lucas.

Also, an Evanston guy I know named David Engel is seen going up the stairs in the party scene in Risky Business and then he is shown going up the stairs again as they used the same shot and there is a continuity mistake. You have to watch closely to catch it.

When they were fliming Wildcats at Lane Stadium my sister was bugging me to drive her down there and get in the movie. But it was seriously like 105 degrees that day and the scene was supposed to be in winter so every idiot was in the stands in that hot weather dressed for the Arctic. I said fuck that.

Cusack hates Better off Dead to this day because he wants to be a serious actor. Too bad, its one of the great comedies.


He was in way more great coming of age comedies than better off dead

I think he is a pretty decent serious actor. I don't know why he'd run from his comedic days. He's established in the industry. He should be more embarrassed by the rom-com period of his career

The Sure Thing was pretty amazing (after the first five minutes).

His other coming of age comedies were good, but seemed like B movies compared to The Sure Thing.

He sort of screams suburbia, though.

I liked that movie where he was a hitman. I went in thinking there's no way. But he pulled it off.


Grosse Pointe Blank

So you're the other guy that likes that movie.


For that comment I’m going to watch it Again since it’s been on HBO like a thousand times during Covid and send the VHS copy I have to you. I think my brother in law got it for my wife like, 20 years ago.

It’s not a bad flick at all.

my wife's friend was Lucas' stand in double. It's a woman
