Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

Debi, you make some terrible life choices. You can get it! You can and will do better than Martin.

I can’t stop imagining a version of this movie where they cast Joan Cusack as the lead. Her performance is incredible and she steals every scene she’s in, despite spending the movie in a room by herself.

Keep everything else the same and it just works, but 1000x better. She falls in love with Debi! She has anti-union conflicts with Dan Aykroyd! She and Jeremy Piven dispose of a corpse together!

Joan, you are a treasure and we don’t deserve you, but I’m glad you were in this.
