WHAT: To celebrate the forthcoming release of Touchstone Pictures'
"High Fidelity," movies.com hosts a special online chat with
the film's co-star Todd Louiso.
In this biting romantic comedy based on the popular Nick
Hornby novel, Rob Gordon (John Cusack) owns a semi-failing
record store in Chicago, where he sells music the
old-fashioned way -- on vinyl. A self-professed music junkie,
he spends his days at Championship Vinyl with his two
employees, Dick (Louiso) and Barry (Jack Black). His
encyclopedic knowledge of pop music is of no help to Rob,
whose needle skips the love groove when his longtime
girlfriend, Laura (Iben Hjejle), walks out on him. As he
examines his failed attempts at romance and happiness, the
process finds him being dragged kicking and screaming into
adulthood.
