[buzzGLOSS] “Say Anything” Turns 20…In Classic Lloyd Dobler Style

Posted on November 3, 2009 by Lolita Carrico

One of my favorite movies,“Say Anything…”, is celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary and to commemorate such a milestone, 20th Century Fox is releasing an Anniversary Edition of the DVD.

To promote the release, they enlisted the help of wanna-be Lloyd Doblers (in case you haven’t seen the iconic 80s chick-flick, he’s the lead character played by John Cusack) who took to the streets of Manhattan dressed in jeans and a tan coat, raising their boom boxes up high.

It all ended with the DC-band — appropriately called the Lloyd Dobler Effect performing Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes.” If you’ve seen the movie, you know why this was the perfect finale.
