11.13.09 JOHN CUSACK IS ALLERGIC TO BOOMBOXES
When it comes to bringing out the awkward and uncomfortable and skeeved out in interview subjects, no one touches MTV Movies Blog. It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these, but Steven Seagal was probably my favorite. This week they spoke to John Cusack and Amanda Peet. While Peet comes off down to Earth and eminently cuddleable, John Cusack IS IN NO MOOD FOR YOUR SH*T, BUDDY. I realize they’re on the tour for 2012 so he’s already on the defensive, but he treats the interviewer’s cardboard boombox prop from Say Anything as if it’s a live rattlesnake.
Granted, there doesn’t seem to be any actual question other than, “Hey, check out this boombox,” but still, Cusack acts like he suspects he’s being made fun of and all this is highly irregular. Hey, John. This is 2012 we’re talking. No one’s gonna ask you about your character. “Tell us about Jack Curtis. Why’s he always running from supervolcanoes?” He comes off like a prick when all he really had to do was smile and play along. Next time, and this goes for Cusack and all actors on silly press tours out there, just ask yourself one simple question: What would Paul Rudd do?

It’s like a barrel to Donkey Kong…
“What would Paul Rudd do?”
Ummmm…his sister like in Clueless?
And Amanda Peet has the reverse Midas touch. Everything she touches goes bad — Jack. Jack Meehoff. Thanks.
Joan Cusack queefs are called box booms.
Something on MTV i’d like to watch and i am denied “for copyright reasons”. Meh. I did get an advert for Coke Zero featuring the potato-headed Wayne Rooney kicking a ball around some tyres. Which was nice.
The Mighty Feklahr is more of a “What Would Al Yankovic Do?” kinda guy. *gargles marbles*
Oh, since someone mentioned Weird Al, did He tell you that Al was in RZ’s Halloween 2? The Mighty One about forshakked!
It’s a wonder that John and Jeremy Piven don’t get along anymore.
/Semi-Serious
Seeing this was a good thing for me ’cause I used to kinda like John Cusack but now that I know he’s just a dick I can move on to stalking Jeff Goldblum.
Smoke more weed, John. Seriously, smoke more weed
John Cusack is just frustrated that he no longer gets scripts he can dig his teeth into like Con Air
I can kinda feel where he’s coming from on this issue. It would be kinda like somebody asking me to hold
my state football championship trophymy classic 65 Fender Stratocastermy D&D Sourcebook.* heads to corner
** to cry
He looked uncomfortabel cuz there was a kid off screen asking for his two dollars. All creepy like.
“John, can I borrow two dollars?”
who needs spell check
Son of a bitch…
But, how does he feel about ghetto blaster?
I think he was just disappointed they didn’t have the Van Halen hamburger. I know I would be.
At least he was ferris buller
New up.
SPOILER ALERT: It’s about a Kevin James movie.
