[likeacanvas]

[funn1bunn1]

Not a WONDERFUL movie, but he did his role very well...

like always.

[vanessahdepp]

what is the for erotic voice? geees! i only saw films with john in german with the voice of Adreas Fröhlich, but john has such a sexy hot and erotic voice!!!

i'm dieing!

[Domzdream]

11:56) I completely agree. I mean, if you look at movies like Blade Runner. This movie bombed when it came out. Now, and for the last 20 years, it's the number 1 sci-fi classic of all time. I agree, that music or films...art, all coincide with the time at hand. Sometimes art in general can be ahead of time, sometimes behind, then BLAM, it's hit that popular mark.

[charlieondmc]

Don't act out of fear act out of flow~ Nice~

[butterfly1830]

Love him

[tundradog04]

i can care less about his political belifes, that is personal. i just like him as an actor and damn, he is a good actor.

[sweetsolitude99]

Aww. I love it when he talks about Joan, and I love that he calls her Joanie. SO cute!

War Inc. was actually a really good movie. I enjoyed it, if only for John and Joan.

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

john's a genius. and a cutie to boot.

[BabyChicP]

LOVE U JOHN !!!!!!!!!!!

[mdlman583]

WAR INC.Not Funny,You are in the loop,how does this help people,its like another slap in the face.SOMEDAY MAN WILL BE sICK OF THIS.

[karenzappa]

yes

[kskopas]

is he greek?

[Tresham1]

Try not to bombard this dude with too many thumbs-downs. He didn't like it, it's his own opinion, and hey, it was a well thought-out statement as to why he disliked it, not "omg dis sux epic fail"

[sparkymocha01]

I totally agree. It seemed like it was going to be terribly entertaining and thought provoking. But in the end it was just a sad attempt...I was bored throughout and dissappointed in the fact that this cast is incredibly welll versed in the knowledge of politics and didn't come off that way.

[cristinga]

Y saw it yesterday...¡Excelent! So much good satira of what we are going through....Simply an excelent job!

[maskedwarrior45]

what is the interviewer's name first and last...i need ot for a project

[sd006]

George Stroumboulopoulos

[mdanie3]

love him

[jbauergirl24]

I absolutely felt in love with John Cusack in this movie!

[sadbhayes]

Eye opening movie. Loved it!!!

[RicPhlare]

Whatever. Take it up with the lefty-liberal multi-culturalist vote-whores running the UK. Whatever remains of British culture will eventually be wearing an Islamic strait-jacket, not a Christian one. Good luck with it.

[spotlitkiss]

oh sweetheart - you're a politicians wet dream - go on - keep lapping up the fear-mongering that is lapped up by so many mind-deficient, insecure, under-educated, parochial children like you. it's not your fault - ignorance is normal - but it's not perrenial - so - get out more and you'll be fine - meet people - all kinds of people.....you might learn something...

[RicPhlare]

Of course, 'global warming' isn't fear-mongering, it's 'science'. Correct? Please tell all that you've 'learned' by meeting with other lefties.

[spotlitkiss]

weird how you assume people belong in just two camps with regards to ALL subjects. anyway, for your information. global warming is hype - the world is billions of years old and always rejuvinates itself over and over again. it's human arrogance to think that a couple years of industry will impact the fate of this planet - it may impact human life - yes - but the earth - it can take care of itself. that's my opinion. i'm really not interested in any kind of propoganda - (cont)

[spotlitkiss]

i know that everything we're told should be questioned - wherever its source. by the way - if you're definition of a 'leftie' is someones with a brain and a heart - then, ok. - i'm so happy to be one

[RicPhlare]

"...many mind-deficient, insecure, under-educated, parochial children like you. it's not your fault - ignorance is normal"

Your condescension, elitism and arrogance has also been duly noted. To me, that defines a good many lefties. I've learned all I need to know about people like yourself, thank you.

[spotlitkiss]

'your condescension, elitism and arrogance' - funny you should say that - cos those are the exact things that liberals attempt to challenge, whereas conservatives/republicans very much embody those things on principle.

it's one thing acknowledging our arrogance - it's another one making it the heart of your policy. i do appreciate however your civil acknowledgment of our shared views.

[RicPhlare]

Liberals like yourself are the embodiment of elitism and arrogance. I offeryour own words as proof. Here they are again, in case you've forgotten them:"...many mind-deficient, insecure, under-educated, parochial children like you. it's not your fault - ignorance is normal"; "get out more and you'll be fine - meet people - all kinds of people.....you might learn something..."

[RicPhlare]

Not many people call me 'sweetheart' either. Any time this term of 'endearment' has been directed at me on youtube, it invariably has a condescending liberal at the other end. Doesn't look like your 'challenging' anything to me, 'darling'.

[spotlitkiss]

any position someone takes over a topic, automatically means they think they see or know better than people who take the other position. that's how it works - including you. of course, to insult you and be overtly condescending is nothing more than a short-hand way of conveying the potency of one's feelings on youtube - why i am arguing on youtube i do not know - it's really dumb.

anyway - in person, it would be a different story quite possibly. btw- your last post is just a repeat.just a note

[Boomoutgothelights]

Every few thousand years, the sun expands (causing the Earth to warm up) then goes back to normal in another few thousand years. A couple of hundred years ago, the sun began expanding again, thus causing the warmer tepmeratures and climate changes.The last ice age we have come out of had seen and experianced a sun in it's least expanded form, creating the cold temperature. This is of course a theory, but makes much more sense than the global warming theory. I agree with spotlitkiss on this one.

[RicPhlare]

I agree as well. I mistakenly assuming spotlitkiss was a member of the Al Gore global warming cult.

[chrissup19]

Global warming is a big scam...being used for profit, and scare tactics.

[jesterjohns]

look around you moron. what planet do you live in??

[chrissup19]

It was a joke, and by the way, if you're going to call someone a moron, make sure to punctuate and use proper terminology, it's "what planet do you live ON" not IN, you idiot, you live in reality and on earth, not the other way around smart guy.

[RicPhlare]

My mistake - we agree. My apologies.

[Enheduanas]

I apologise, this last comment was in response to VoteGinrich's comment from earlier. However it was not posted in the correct place.

[Enheduanas]

Wow this is possibly the best artist/actor interview I have ever seen, admitedly the fact that it is John Cusack is an avantage, but for insightful and thoughtful commentary this is top form.

[DeathOrGlory622]

This is good, for once the interviewer knows what he's talking about, and he isn't asking stupid questions, I like this guy ... john cusack, I heard he toured with The Clash when he was younger (?) oh and yeah , by the way he has great taste in music, for ex. the soundtrack of Grosse Point Blank, I just watched that movie yesterday.

[zuluclegg]

I could just listen to that guy talking for hours... so clever and charming! I agree with previous comment, he sounds like a genuinely nice guy, extremely human.

[joyzzoo]

John seems like a 'good-guy' :-)

...Genuine, Natural, & Soft Spoken!

-cheers!

[stylianosmelexenis]

war inc is good but gross point blank is better

[1GRRRR]

best movie ive seen in a long time! so true!

[1GRRRR]

best movie ive seen in a long time! so true!

[VoteGingrich]

John Cusak....very good actor and private life dumbass. You know there was a time when being a liberal carried some intellectual clout; not anymore. Just listen to this idiot....holy crap.

[skkaskey]

John Cusak is an accomplished human being with a message to help wake people up... What are you doing? Did you watch War Inc.? Very pointed, and exposing movie about real policies being shoved down our throat.

[VoteGingrich]

First, yes I saw the film. Cusak is following the tired path of beating up on the American military complex and any leader to the right of Stalin. This movie exposed absolutly nothing other than America again being the epicenter of the world's problems. Somehow this message will be all but forgotten if Obama wins because at their core, hollywood liberals are political hacks with no original thought process.

[studio551]

only a knob would have a name like yours and the audacity to post it!

[Enheduanas]

Hey! Redneck idiots are not a figment of the 80s Reagan administrative imagination that Europe thinks they are, they still exist!!! You must be narked that Obama won :-)

[HelenaLorelay]

John read The secret, 100%, good for you Johnyyy

[earthacademy]

well done John. Politicians shouldn't lead. only a handful artists, philosophers, actors, musicians etc...cos they have a bloody good sense of ethics!! unlike those sociopathic power mongers who are in power.

[myameisdufster]

When Americans are criticizing Canadians, their friends and allies, they should realize that Canada has 1/100 of the population of the United States and we have no desires or designs on being a superpower. That is an American perogative, much to their detriment.

[MsAnathema]

Bravo John! This is an excellent satire portraying current events with a very different angle. Right ON! LOVED IT and Highly Recommend it... Thanks for having it in Seattle and Austin : )

[wolfie672]

Yeah someone finally bringing to light the absurdity of this corporate war. Bravo John Cusack!!

[SweetMe001]

the film looks really rubbish, & boaring.. but, just cuz hilarys init i wonna see it!! i guess im not into all this war stuff, but hey, it coiuld be good.

[joetheshow68]

This is completely juvenile but is it bad that I was more focused on how dead sexy George Stroumboulopoulous is rather than the current events at hand...

[RicPhlare]

Another Hollywood asshole spouting his left-wing political opinions. Wow, that's news.

[sashe44]

...and that adds to the public discourse how? Funny, I didn't hear Mr. Cusack speak uncivilly or disrespectfully about anyone...what about the CONTENT of this dialogue do you have issue with?

Why does the political discourse in our country always seem to become personal?

[RicPhlare]

I never said he spoke uncivil or disrespectful. I said he was another Hollywood idiot spouting left-wing crap. These clowns should work on improving the quality of entertainment and quit telling people how to vote. Put the lousy quality of what they produce with the messes their personal lives are and they shouldn't be lecturing anybody, not even the politicians.

[sashe44]

no, but you spoke disrespectfully towards him which was exactly my point: instead of refuting the content of what he said, you attacked him personally, which is not only bad logic it's rude. No wonder you named yourself after a pro wrestler.

[RicPhlare]

Hollywood is not worthy of respect. It is filled with limousine liberals using their fame to tell the rest of us how to live. Holywood is a collection of idiots living in their own little Disneyland without the burdens of reality. Fuck 'em.

[oceanfog]

I love him

[tones124]

Thank you for speaking out for us all. We all need to step up and speak out! Be brave. I would rather be dead than a slave. The powers that be will take our last rights away and then they will own us! There are only a few million bad guys and billions of the rest of us!

[ShadowFOX4u]

davinci44, while americans moved saddam out of kuwait, canadiens just spectated mostly, but then again that's what you do best.

[davinci44]

I'd be more inclined to discuss the topic with you if you weren't just trying to be rude.

By the way, if you're writing in english, might I recommend english spelling?

[ShadowFOX4u]

davinci44 , you can't discuss the subject, because you really don't have anything to add.

i know english btw, maybe you should learn too, instead of whining like a typical canadien.

[davinci44]

Okay, because I thought Canadian was spelt a little differently. My bad! Rock on dude, and don't forget to focus on the things that really matter!

[paul8kangas]

One big thing the movie got me to thinking about is "Finding a new strategy on how to stop the war." Maybe humor is a useful part of the puzzle? Is that the hidden message. The movie sure did inspire me to laugh & think. See my review on You tube: paul8kangas

[ShadowFOX4u]

canadiens are good at talking, cuz they are not good at doing.

in the first gulf war, americans had 500,000 to 750,000 troops in the field, canadiens had around 2,000. speaks for itself.

[74mackd]

The US is good at reckless acting because its people don't have the ability to think independantly. The media forms the opinion of the people, which should be the other way around. How many of Iraq's people died from that war? 500,000 children died from depleted uranium from US ammunition. In all, over 3 million civilians died due both wars and sanctions. All over "weapons" Iraq didn't have and oil they do have. Why would someone want to be part of that?

[davinci44]

Yes, it certainly does speak for itself, though not quite in the way you make it out to.

[ShadowFOX4u]

davinci44, americans do the heavy lifting, canadiens just mouth off.

[quexalcoatl]

Canadians just mouth off? I hope we never stop. Dissent can be the most potent form of patriotism, and it's not even our country. Cusack isn't even Canadian. If we had it -our- way we never would have gotten involved in the 'efforts' abroad and I doubt many other counties would have either.

[ShadowFOX4u]

canadians can't get involved abroad because

they are incapable.

canadians express opinions, they don't roll up their sleeves and do anything.

good example: when saddam invaded kuwait, U.S.

had 500,000 to 750,000 troops involved, canada sent 2,000. that's canada in a nutshell, 99% talk, 1% substance.

[quexalcoatl]

I'm glad we're incapable of getting involved in the affairs of other countries, not that we would if we could.

Considering the US Government gave Saddam all the material support he needed to later invade Kuwait, don't you think it's astonishing any of us assisted? If your statement is true, then Americans are 99% action 1% thought. I do love the USA though. :D

[ShadowFOX4u]

quexalcoatl, your laughable at best.

your the exact reason canada could never be a super-power.

your channel reflects someone that is totally clueless and close minded.

but then again your canadian, what else can you expect, lol.

[quexalcoatl]

Pride goeth before a fall.

[bobob1313]

Remember when Cusack went through that weird phase and changed his name to Joan and did all his roles in drag? A lot of people still thinks he has a sister.

[soccerrox234]

wtf???

[integral]

Was just a phase.

[dharmafreak]

The thing about interviews on the CBC is that they're willing to take on issues and viewpoints that mainstream American networks would faint at... thus we get unfiltered info, and less bullshit.

[bajacaca]

Canadian interview show - We learn things.

American interview show - We watch people argue.

[integral]

Yer darn tootin'.  I give up. I'm moving to Canada.
