I think GPB did have a scene with Driver talking to another of the female reunion attendees without Cusack present and not about him. If you count one-sided phone conversations, Joan Cusack also talks about cooking with someone on the phone in a pretty funny scene.

I like the smaller ones too, as it makes it easier to reply. Rather than the giant list, where I sometimes don’t post because I have too much to ask about.

GPB follows John’s life, so it kind of has to have him in nearly (if not every) scene I believe. I have to watch this movie again, it has been nearly 10 years since I saw it last.

You know I still haven’t seen the last 15 minutes of Pirates. I have it on DVD, bought it for like $9, but haven’t even taken the plastic wrapper off. I liked it at the theater, but had an emergency call while watching it forcing me to rush out.

Chris, I know… it made me realize that I had a major milestone reunion next year. Sigh.

I can’t believe it’s been ten years since Grosse Point Blank. Good Lord, the characters could be gearing up for their 20th reunion even as I type…

I like your peppering of reviews as they come to you. The variation keeps it nice and engaging. But whatever you like, really!!

Yeah, that’s why it didn’t bother me as much as some others — it’s clearly his story, focused on his growth.

I wish they’d put out an enhanced DVD that includes more behind-the-scenes information, because I like it so much I’d like to know more about the artistic choices made and how it came to be.

To be fair, I think John Cusack’s on screen for almost the entire running time, so it’s inevitably going to be light on all-female scenes. I love GROSSE POINTE BLANK – it’s one of my favourite films. It’s incredibly rare to see a film do action and romantic comedy simultaneously, and genuinely pull them both off.
