She will talk about it now. Sometimes. She has to be in a good mood and you have to catch her at just the right time. I have known her forever, and even I don't know everything there is to know. She says it started off great and that she was shocked to be the focus of this guy who at the time seemed to be at the center of the universe. He was A list. He was movies. he was everywhere. He was in everything and people loved him and worshiped him and here he was, dating her. Not just dating her but romancing her and convincing her to leave the guy she was with because he was going to be next to her forever and never leave and everything he said was wonderful. That was the thing though. A lot was words.
When they started dating, the whole e-mail thing was new, and cell phones were great, but texting was not something you did all the time. He was on sets and word would get back to her about the women he was seeing, but then he would call her every night and they would talk and he would make it right. That is the thing. he would always make it right. When she would actually catch him cheating he would send over huge presents. She used to be almost A list. She trashed her career for him because he would keep telling her they were going to get married and she should prepare for it so she would turn down work during that time period and then he would cancel the wedding a month or two before, just to mess with her. He told her franchises were dumb so she walked away from one and turned down another just because she always did what he said.
They had a lot of breakups but she would always take him back. She was the one fighting. he was always with someone else or several people and she would have to work to get him back and then he would hurt her again. Even after the split was finally permanent, the scars were there. It took almost a year for every year they were together for her to start feeling normal again. Normal enough to start talking about it. I know there is more, but it comes out very slow. She does enjoy the fact his career has stalled. He has probably dropped to B+ although he usually is the lead in movies he stars in. She has moved back up to B- again and has moved on. She does not know what she will do if she runs into him. Last time she saw him she hid in her car for an hour until she was sure he had gone.
John Cusack/Neve Campbell
God, that's truly awful
ReplyDeleteCan't believe he's such a cunt!
Did they date publicly ? I feel like I would have remembered this.
ReplyDeleteDamn it Lloyd :-/ I really really liked you.
ReplyDeleteI remember them dating and thought they made a fine couple. He seemed nice but then kind of disappeared, as did she ...
ReplyDeleteI hate to hear this. I like them both. Or I should say, I still like her. Him?? Mehh....
ReplyDeletePoor girl. I used to like him. No more.
ReplyDeleteThis one gives me the sads :(
ReplyDeleteMe too. I loved John Cusack ....since 16 candles! He was my forever crush, but no more after hearing that he is such a douche. Ugh. I can't help it....
DeleteHigh Fidelity is still on my top 5 movies of all time :)
This one gives me the sads :(
ReplyDeleteYuck. I loved him :(
ReplyDeleteThis reads very one-sided.
ReplyDeleteHe may be a good actor but never leading man material. Just too-sorry-HOMELY
ReplyDeleteSprink
ReplyDeleteI said same thing first time it was revealed. Very one sided.
Goes in circles--I guess all blinds are one-sided but this just reads like bad relationship in a 'she said' kind of way. So many signs for her that she was not The One but he comes off looking like a pig? Dunno, just wondering how he felt about it all.
DeleteUnfortunately I had read sooooo many bad things about John Cusack after his rift with Piven that this didn't surprise me at all.
ReplyDeleteI loved him since Say Anything, but started to question his worthiness after the armpit-sniffing reveals some years ago.... Too bad! Poor girl, she seems intelligent, I hope she has done better.
ReplyDeleteOh my...I really feel for Neve. I think she's a great actress. If she reads this I hope she takes advantage of the new year to make it one of a comeback. If she still doesn't know what she'd do to run into him again and she's hiding in her car for over an hour, she's let him have power over her way too long and it's time for that to come to an end with 2014. She can have a great comeback if she puts her mind to it. I'm rooting for her. Success is the sweetest revenge.
ReplyDeleteAhh, my heart breaks for her. You never completely get over tragic shit like that. Life goes on though. Also b+ for cusak? Get real. He's barely a B and speed skating on the edges of c. Guess you were feeling generous while writing this one, Eny.
ReplyDelete@AJ My feelings EXACTLY!
ReplyDelete@Rach Happy New Year, Grrrl!
ReplyDeleteI know people who have worked on sets with him. I also met a guy whose girlfriend used to date him. He played with her head for 5 months, until she finally gave in an slept with him. Then once she did, he dumped her and told her she was a challenge and now that he had her, he was done with her. He would have extra's on the set fired, if they refused to date him. My friend was one of them. He's a douchebag.
ReplyDeletefrom what i recall she is horribly boring
