Those that were eating Rice Krispies as they watched the CBS "Early Show" Thursday heard a lot more than snap, crackle and pop during Harry Smith's interview with movie star John Cusack.
Much like Rosie O'Donnell on last Friday's "Late Night," Cusack used the F-word as he discussed the 20th anniversary of his hit film "Say Anything."
Honestly, what is it about Hollywoodans that prevents them from governing their tongues when the situation calls for it (video embedded below the fold):
HARRY SMITH, HOST: Does it seem like 20 years ago already?
JOHN CUSACK: Some mornings, yeah I f**king feel a little older than others.
(Laughter from Smith).
Interestingly, Smith didn't miss a beat.
I guess that's America now, huh?
Certainly beats being urinated on by a beaver though!
Snap, f-bomb, pop -- Rice Krispies.

November 12, 2009 - 17:30 ET by UtherpendOne of the most over rated movies of my generation. A film that mostly women thought was great and those of the less than straight gender like Harry Smith.

The allure of John Cusack has always escaped me...
November 12, 2009 - 18:50 ET by PrairieSkyI don't get it...And, his political bloviating of the last few years has reinforced my opinion of him as a completely irrelevant person who thinks he is much more important (and talented) than he thinks he is. All I have to do is see his name attached to something, for me to instantly decide that I won't waste my time on it.
The fact that Cusack can't seem to control his mouth on TV, let alone morning TV, is no surprise to me.

The allure of John Cusack? At the risk of getting in trouble with my readers, one of the best films of 1994 was Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway."
Please bear in mind that 1994 might have been one of the best years for film in recent memory. Here's what 1994 offered viewers:
In short, this was a great year for film.
Now, in my view, the best of the best this year was by far "The Shawshank Redemption" despite "Forest Gump" winning best film.
Wasn't even close. Shawshank was not only the best film that year, but maybe the best film of the whole decade.
That said, right up there was "Bullets Over Broadway," an absolutely brilliant comedic retrospective of the height of dramatic works on the stage.
Diane Wiest is nothing less than brilliant as an aging version of Helen Hayes. One of the most deserving Oscars in years. Absolute layup, slam-dunk. The film is worth the watch just for her!
That said, surrounded by an allstar cast was John Cusack as the starry-eyed playwright. Not only WASN'T he overshadowed, he quite held his own and did a VERY fine job.
Over course, the best performance was given by Chazz Palminteri, the Mafia thug who ends up re-writing Cusack's play making it a gem.
Those who haven't seen this film should, for along with Shawshank, this was one of the best movies of 1994 -- a VERY fine year for film! ns

November 12, 2009 - 21:45 ET by MrShyI dunno, the only truly great film on that list for me is Shawshank (which pains me to say, with Tim the Libturd as the lead.)
A lot on that list are my tops for overrated, too, including that stupid, bloody/gory one about those two hip bad guys, one black, one white... with assorted other pointless bad guys. And then Ed Wood... eeesh. Everything Tim Burton does just seems soulless and depressing.
I do like some of Woody's stuff, and never saw Bullets, so I'll put it on my list. Personally, I think his last great one was Husbands and Wives.

Please Stop Using The Euphemism (ugh..) "F-bomb"
November 13, 2009 - 00:41 ET by The7SticksWould it kill a tree if people stopped using euphemisms like, ugh, "f-word" or "f-bomb"? I swear, I am going to bang my head against my monitor if I hear another use of either of those euphemisms. The word is f**k, so please let's stop acting like children and stop fearing a word that, frankly, isn't even as offensive as, well... Jimmy Carter.
What the HELL is f**k?
November 13, 2009 - 00:47 ET by MightyMouthA google and scroogle search didn't even come close to what you are talking about. Lets agree (since there are so many kids on NB) to use the code word "pudding" <wink><wink>?
Agree with the Jimmy Carter ref though...

November 13, 2009 - 03:27 ET by DoktorFrankenReminds me of another John Cusack (rhymes with ballsack) movie (War, Inc.) where one on the character's (Arab) name is Ooq-Mi-Fay Taqnufmini. Which I thought was very ute-Cay. The Left are so very clever.
BTW - I never saw a John Cusack movie until I watched 1408. Great movie. I recently watched War, Inc, and thought John was okay but his sister was fantastic. A dried-up hose-bag, but a funny hose-bag. She is the epitome of ''Your Mileage May Vary''.
JMHO, you understand.

Because it solidifies their bone-fides and "coolness" with the other children in Hollywood.

November 13, 2009 - 10:35 ET by SpikerI agree Cool Arrow, Better off Dead was a good one. That's about the only John Cusack film I have ever enjoyed. But why is it that these people turn fortyish and become angry old sourpusses? I thought liberals were supposed to be happy little free spirits but they always seem very cranky and ornery to me, hence the frequent f-bombs.
