In some ways, Cameron Crowe was the alterna-grungy Seattle version of John Hughes: movies like Singles and Say Anything captured the spirit of youth, young love, post-high school in the 1980s/1990s, blah blah blah. John Cusack's Lloyd Dobler, who won the heart of valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye), was like the nicer version of The Breakfast Club's outsider John Bender: a boombox-under-the-window-holding underdog.

Crowe was recently promoting his documentary Pearl Jam Twenty, and when asked at the press junket by a superfan whether he'd ever consider a sequel to the film, Crowe answered to the somewhat-ambiguous positive. Sort of.
"[Say Anything is] the only thing that I've written that I would consider doing [a sequel to]... And I've thought about it from time to time, and talked about it with John Cusack once. This is the only story that [I've thought], there might be another chapter to that at some point." He added: "...We have to keep the guy that Lloyd Dobler has to drive home from the prom party -- he's got to come back."
On the bright side, maybe this means we'll get some Joan Cusack action, but on the sh*tty side, isn't middle-aged Lloyd Dobler basically just that "whatever" dude you married?
The sequel is Grosse Point Blank, though, right? I mean, it is.
