I have a really important issue here.
John Cusack.
John Cusack, for seemingly no reason, blocked my friend Julia on his Twitter. Julia is a huge fan. Here is what went down:
johncusack i may invoke twiiter [sic] rule 7439.8 ” if one fills feed with cap lock lines from one of my old movie he may be blocked without mercy
juliagazdag @johncusack what about twitter rule #243b: “thy tweets shall at least attempt some semblance of correct spelling and grammar.”
johncusack and your blocked! RT @juliagazdag: twitter rule #243b: “thy tweets shall at least attempt some semblance of correct spelling and grammar.”
johncusack i just viciously blocked someone who tweeted false rule about spelling_ was tough love but i had to do it
juliagazdag Most people find “sassy” charming. @johncusack apparently finds it offensive. Sass lost in typed translation? Either way, I am now sadfaced.
johncusack just blocked the wrong person i think.. oh well.. sorry!
juliagazdag Do you mean me? If yes, yay. If no, continuing with sadface. RT@johncusack just blocked the wrong person i think.. oh well.. sorry!
And that was it. HE IGNORED HER SAD FACE PEOPLE. HE. IGNORED. HER. SAD. FACE. All she did was point out a minor spelling mistake in a cute, lighthearted way, because she is a huge fan. AND HE THREW A TWITTER TANTRUM AND BLOCKED HER.
We cannot let John Cusack get away with this. I think we can all agree that this is the most pressing issue of the year. Join me, friends. Join me in the fight. Here’s how. I tweeted this:
Hey, @johncusack , Why did you block my friend @juliagazdag? She didn’t even SAY ANYTHING.
Here’s what you can do. You can RT it (I’m @apocalypstick) or copy/paste the above and tweet it on your own. BUT WE MUST GET MR. CUSACK’S ATTENTION, BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ALL WENT DOWN ON SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. AND SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT THE SUPERBOWL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN STARTING TWITTER FIGHTS WITH CELEBRITIES.
Together, we can do something really big. And by big, I mean get something popular on Twitter.
And Mr. Cusack, I am more than willing to hear your side of the story. I can interview you for my blog. If you say no, I will likely make up a fake interview like I did with the band Train.
(On a totally unrelated note, here’s something I wrote for This Recording called “The Dark Side of Audrey Hepburn.”)
ANYWAY. THE CUSACK THING IS REALLY IMPORTANT. JOIN ME, FRIENDS!!
I Will Follow Him — Little Peggy March
The most comforting thing to me in this time of great need and pain is that you tweeted a movie title in all caps, but not the actual quote. It’s subversive, yet effective.
I can’t believe I wrote him that terrible song in high school. And now he’ll never know how terrible it really was.
“The most comforting thing to me in this time of great need and pain is that you tweeted a movie title in all caps, but not the actual quote. It’s subversive, yet effective.”
Thank you. It came so naturally to me and I was very proud of myself. It may be the best thing I have ever written.
I’m also proud of you. This is on par with “Live and Eat Pie.”

Just joined in. 🙂
THANK YOU NADINE!
He might not have been ignoring her ‘sadface’ – if he blocked her he might not even see her @ replies? Also, weird annoying twitter fact: if you have a protected account and you tweet someone who doesn’t follow you, THEY DON’T SEE IT. For months I just thought some people were being super rude, turns out it was Twitter being ridiculous.
ALL THE MORE REASON WHY WE NEED TO MAKE THIS A BIG DEAL.
I think we’ve all learned not to associate with people who don’t know their your you’res and there theirs…even if they are celebrities…and even if by “associate” we only mean “follow on twitter”. Aren’t we better then than that?
NO WONDER SHE ONLY GAVE HIM A PEN.
That was quite shitty! I think Mr. Cusack needs to learn how to take some constructive criticism and deal.
I feel badly for Julia, because if this were ME I would probably lose all faith in the world. I LOVE John Cusack. It’s a really big part of my personality. Maybe he’s just suffering a loss of IDENTITY. Perhaps he just needs to visit GROSS POINTE BLANK or become a GRIFTER. Or maybe if he could gather up 1408 to 2012 grains of confidence in himself, he would find that he MUST LOVE DOGS and therefore must love Julia. Or maybe he’s a MARTIAN CHILD and has forgotten how to communicate. Or maybe he’s just taking a break from himself and is BEING JOHN MALKOVICH. Well, Malkovich is a douche right now.
this is so well done because the only other movie titles I knew of for punning were 1408 and 2012, but let me tell you, they are GREAT puns I came up with and I really want to unleash them on Twitter.
Love it. Almost as much as I loved John Cusack. Before he tore my heart to shreds.
Is it sad that I would still totally make out with him, or have I already asked that?
I would still totally make out with him if I were you. Vengeance make-out.
YES
Sure, just as long as he doesn’t SAY ANYTHING.
Oh wait, I already made that joke.
…I don’t think I know any other John Cusack movie titles that don’t involve a series of numbers.
Just retweeted. BAM! Take that, John Cusack.
THANK YOU!
This is terribly disappointing.
I’M GOING TO ASSUME THAT YOU’RE REFERRING TO JOHN CUSACK AND NOT THIS POST. XOXO.
So… didn’t he make up that first rule to begin with?
RETWEETED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR RETWEET.
Exactly my point. Thank you.
I totally just RT’d. THIS CANNOT STAND, JOHN CUSACK. THIS CANNOT STAND.
THANK YOU LEXI.
Lloyd Dobler would never be so callous.
Work firewall prevents me from accessing Twitter (ugh!), but it’ll be the first thing I do when I get home.
This is a cause I truly believe in.
After reading this (I don’t use twitter, sorry!), I read your Audrey Hepburn piece and then it linked me to the Grace Kelly one. The comments on Grace Kelly made me laugh out loud. A lot. Thank you for brightening my day.
PS: Seriously, you must have totally crazy issues with sex to call a woman who had to sleep with every man she was in a movie with fully knowing they were married a slut. Women who do that are merely “empowered.”
Did I miss out on this? I’m in. Mainly for John Cusack’s blatant overachieving in every movie he’s in while in the rain. I think my tweet will be Hey, @johncusack , Why did you block @juliagazdag? She owns a Hot Tub Time Machine.
No? She wasn’t being john malkovich? Don’t be gross(e)…point blank?
Dammit, yours was the best.
Good God, is nothing sacred in the world anymore? John Cusack, I think I speak for every girl here when I say I’m ashamed of your behavior. Especially since as we know, the world is ending in 2012 and according to your film (aptly titled 2012), you and Amanda Peet will be among some of the few remaining celebs on the earth. At least Amanda wouldn’t hurt a follower’s feelings on Twitter.
My very first Twitter was to John Cusack about isolating some of his fans with his political views and I was very nice about it. He wrote me back very sarcastically and was rude. His fan base the proceeded to bash me following in lock step. I used lime him bit I think that was better off a fantasy. This was on 2/20/11
Hey Almie,
Did anything come of the cusack twitter battle?
