So what is Cusack feeling here, Lol im basically trying to gauge how effective my social reading is

I watched a few other JC videos and interestingly I got the same vibe I got from this video. In fact in every single interview ive seen with him he semes sarcastic impatient haughty and seems to talk with his tongue in his cheek. My ability to read faces according to the ind in the eyes test is well above average that notwithstanding

I did not get any of that at all. the only thing i picked up on was what he did with his jacket which made me think he was cold.

And it was supposed to be easy?
The only one I got was the raised hand that expresses something like "it's not my fault" to me.
I neither noticed the other ones.

I couldn't tell anything -- if he was angry, amused, whatever -- the only thing I noticed was that he glanced at her breasts. Why was that supposed to be easy? :?

i got the impression that he was pretty annoyed... caught him looking at the girl's breasts too. didn't pay much attention to the specifics.

Oh good grief, I don't think you can ascertain all of that from that. Basically the man was probably slightly annoyed because she got him mixed up with someone else. People over complicate.

Well im not sure now. Cusack behaves like that in every single one of his interviews. I thought I was a brilliant judge of character until I watched appearences on other shows. He does that thing with his nose and has the same mannerisms. I dont know how to read him. He seems angry all the time. Maybe its the negative assumptions I make whenever I read non verbals I dont know

He was cute when he was young...that's all I really notice about him.

Shallow female side of me.

Well, I did miss a bit. I caught the "shaking the head" part and I could tell he was denying that he was in that movie, I didn't get the signals of "insecurity" and all that, though. I did not get that he was looking at her chest, neither did I get that he was "grooming himself."

I also did not recognize that "wry smile" as a smile at all!

When he turned his head and frowned at her and said "I think you are [confused]," I thought he was being playful.

I saw this clip once before; the only thing I got out of it was not being able to tell whether he was seriously annoyed or whether he was joking.

I wonder if this has been a source of many interpersonal problems for us! 8O

And this statement summarizes many of the awkward encounters that I have had with other people.

I noticed him looking at her breasts but apart from that I thought everything was positive, or that he was joking with her the whole time about not being in the film
