Brainy-girl crush icon John Cusack turns 38 today.
It would be nice to think that since I was 14, times have changed. Relationships have become more sophisticated. Females less cruel. Skins thicker. Instincts more developed. But there seems to be an element of that afternoon in everything that's happened to me since. All my romantic stories are a scrambled version of that first one.
Tell me about it. The observant among you could do worse than watch one of these fine feature films:
Tapeheads
Better Off Dead
The Sure Thing
The Grifters
Eight Men Out
Say Anything
Grosse Pointe Blank
High Fidelity
Being John Malkovich
