Life Imitates Lame 80s Movie
July 22nd, 2006 at 3:23 pm by SmantixHow come when he does it, it’s endearing and romantic but when she does it, it’s “stalking” and “harassment”? I, for one, blame the patriarchy!

A woman John Cusack claims is stalking him has taken out a court order barring the actor from coming near her.
Cusack was granted a temporary restraining order Tuesday stipulating that Emily Leatherman, 31, stay at least 500 feet away from him, his home, his work, his car and any company or office where he does business.
After the 40-year-old actor sought the order last month, Leatherman made a similar request, which was granted by a Superior Court judge on July 14 pending an August hearing.
From what I’ve seen of this Cusack kid, he’s got a history as a predator. Standing outside of a girl’s window all night. All wanting to be her “sledgehammer” or some such.
Take it as a compliment, Johnny! She must not have seen “Must Love Dogs” yet.

Glancing at the headlines this morning, I thought the restraining order was against bad movies.
I like Cusack the actor (the activist, not so much).
Here\’s to more Sure Things.

He was entirely too convincing in “Gross Pointe Blank”. Emily might know something.

That’s right, Rhod. I forgot about that.
You gotta admit the premise of an assasin coming to his 10 year reunion was inspired. It was like Lloyd Dobbler grows up.

OK, Say Anything was NOT a lame 80′s movie. There were so many things I could identify with…
* A drunken Jeremy Piven looking for his keys, only to have Cusack scream at him, “you must chill!”
* The semi-functional tape deck that needed a folded-up matchbook to operate…
* Hanging outside the Gas N’ Sip (OK, AM/PM mini-mart for me), having a few beers, talking “chicks”…
Hmm…upon further reflection, perhaps I was just a lame 80′s teen…

Don\’t feel bad Billy, Cusack spoke for us all.
\”Lloyd, Lloyd all null and void.
He\’s wiggin, he\’s wiggin\”

He squandered all goodwill with Empire Records.
