🚪🧠 Knock, Knock. John Malkovich.

What’s the weirdest movie you’ve ever watched?

The movie that stands out for me is Being John Malkovich, starring John Cusack. An odd fucking film. It takes the concept of getting into another person’s mind to a whole other level.

I was about seventeen when I watched it. I didn’t normally watch films like that, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

A couple of years later, I was working at a hotel in Beverly Hills.

Knock, knock.

There stood the real John Malkovich.

Behind him were art boards with fashion designs. Clothing materials. Sketches.

That surprised me. I knew him as an actor. Now I was standing at his door, looking past him at this other creative world I hadn’t known about.

Enjoy your cup of coffee. ☕
