Grosse Point Blank

I loved this movie when I first saw it back in the 90′s. It was this movie, as well as Identity, that made me realize John Cusack is one of my favorite actors.

Plus, Minnie Driver. Hott!!!

Anyway, watching this morning I wanted to share a couple of my favorite lines. Now, mind you, I wasn’t watching it entirely, as I was making breakfast and arguing about the name of our future cat, as well as finding out if I can even afford a kitten. But anyway, my favorite this time around, from Martin Blank, played by John Cusack himself:

You can never go home again, but I guess you can shop there.

And my favorite from the first time I saw it.

BLANK
There’s a contract out on your life. Believe me. I was hired to kill you, but I’m not going to do it. It’s either because I’m in love with your daughter or because I have a newfound respect for life.
GROCER
That punk is either in love with that guy’s daughter or he has a newfound respect for life.

Also, when Live & Let Die became muzak inside the Ultimart. What can I say? I’m easily entertained. And now I want to film my own movie.

    Ew. Whenever I think of minnie driver, I picture her spitting out her beer in Good Will Hunting.

  2. Yeah but in this movie she was a radio DJ, which makes her about ten times cooler than spitting out her beer.

    Very true. But think about the context of the spitting…the joke she was telling…gross!
