This summer's Movies In the Park kicks off tomorrow night with "Better Off Dead", which is a bit of an odd choice.
Granted, it has Chicago native John Cusack, who later made Bucktown famous with his role in "High Fidelity"... but it also has Curtis "Booger" Armstrong trying to snort a mountain and wondering what it's "street value" might be.
"Better Off Dead" - the first in a series of John Cusack movies in which he, along with his plucky friends, must perform some task (win a ski race, win a boat race, etc.) in order to stop some evil developers or something from destroying their town. Also along the way he realizes that the mousy brunette girl in the glasses would be totally hot without her glasses, while the blond girl he's been pining after isn't so great after all.
Since it's obvious that subject matter won't disqualify a movie, I'd like to see "High Fidelity" at Churchill park - we could probably see some of the actual film locations from where we were sitting. But for now, "Better Off Dead" will have to do!
