I am trying to enjoy the High Fidelity series, but it’s very, very tough to try to watch it fairly, especially because I think Cusack was more natural at the fourth-wall thing than is Kravitz, but also because some of the performance choices seem too forcibly “make a different choice than did Cusack” rather than actually coming from somewhere. More: I feel like it was obvious fairly quickly that Cusack’s Rob was kind of an asshole, whereas they seem to be soft-peddling that a bit for Kravitz’s Rob, and Rob being an asshole always seemed to me to be one of the central tightropes the story was walking.
