John Cusack is on Twitter

John_cusack10 With all due respect to celebri-clowns like Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, what the world needs most right now is John Cusack on Twitter.

Mission accomplished. "Lloyd Dobler" might be hard at work in Vancouver working on The Hot Tub Time Machine with co-star Rob Corddry, but he's taking time out to occasionally tweet about life on set. He does seem to be trying to stay somewhat anonymous, so Cusack has chosen the Twitter name "shockozulu."

"Saw Corrdrey. Said hello-- He screamed 'snafu u warbler!!!!' and skittered away in a carazy darting dance. I finally understand him now," Cusack tweeted earlier today.

Other updates make slightly less sense. "
We are all -- as a dead writer put it --- lords of our tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the center of all creation," he wrote this morning.

Right now, Cusack/Shockozulu has about 6,000 followers, including Stuck in the '80s of course. He's following just 35 people, but they include Oprah, Al Gore, Danny Glover, George Stephanopoulos and Diablo Cody.
