Sanity deficient? Coherence challenged? Non Compos Mentis?

When I first heard the term "vertically challenged," I thought they were describing someone who couldn't get out of bed in the morning.

Yep, crazy is a word that just isn't used any more. To the layman, the term is "sub-clinically neurotic," or as psychiatrists would say, "stark staring bonkers."

Hmmm... A little swarthy compared to how I see Jack. But yeah, not far off the mark. Personally, after seeing Susan's link to Edward Burns, my vote is already in.
Cusack would be a decent choice, though it's been mentioned that Jack isn't supposed to stand out and Cusack is fairly recognizable. But now I'm just being nitpicky. Obviously avid RJ fans would see it as important, but since this is going to be a movie in an entirely different medium, the actor might need more presence. The other characters in the movie, as characters, might not notice him, but the audience- the viewers- would need a little more distinction.
Maybe it just doesn't matter to me since I wouldn't notice Tom Hanks in the street if he was doing a jig naked. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but you get the point.[/QUOTE]
I love Cusack, I have since his days as a teen "idol" in the 80s, and you must admit after "Grosse Point Blank" he can pull off the "morality ambialance <SPI>" of the Jack character. But I still must admit I like the guy that played the Jarod character in the tv series The Pretender, i think he would be the perfect Jack but he is probably dead now.

"Deficient?" "Challenged?" That's cruel talk, Biggles. I'd suggest you should be ashamed of yourself, if such a suggestion weren't beyond-the-pale nowadays.

I've challenged reality to a showdown more than once. It always backs down.
