bleak
lol
i like keanu reeves
He was astoundingly good in “Sweet November.” Did you see that hot dog ad? And the way he bonded with that latchkey kid? Dude has range.
What about his triumphant role in “Parenthood”? Sure, Martha Plimpton got all the raves, but KR brung it. His interactions with a young (and blonde) Joaquin continue to resonate.
SARCASM.
Well, he’s better off than the guy who played Bill. I don’t even know that actor’s name.
Somewhere Alex Winter is crying a little more on the inside.
Dude’s beard kind of sucks. I should know, because my beard is really rad.
Also, “My Own Private Idaho” is a good movie, but Reeves does bring it down a little.

Cry me a river. One thing’s for sure: don’t won’t be remembered for that beard.
meant, “dude” won’t be remembered for the beard. As I won’t be rememberd for my keyboarding skills.
So… he’s a bad guy — or shouldn’t have feelings — because he’s successful? What’s your point?
Personally, I’ve always felt that people criticize him too much. Sure, he’s a mediocre actor. But he doesn’t put on arrogant or egotistical airs. He was very lucky, he’s doing well for himself. Does that mean that half the country has to declare themselves the Agents of Balance?
For chrissake: go find a CEO to criticize. Or a teabagger. Or an arrogant pastor. Somebody who actually deserves the criticism.

I live in his beard

His beard is not bad at all, actually — certainly better than mine (I’ve never been able to grow a decent beard: beyond a certain length (scruff) it becomes a dry, hideous thatch.)
The only thing interesting I ever noticed about my facial hair is that there’re actually orange hairs in there, on either side of my chin. Until I hit puberty I never knew I’d inherited that gene. It was a weird discovery, like suddenly finding an ancestor hidden in those two little patches of skin, scared of America, not yet prepared to fully emerge.
But… back to Keanu . . . I’m wondering where his eyelashes went.
I liked My Own Private Idaho as well, and Keanu was okay in it . . . the real star, of course, was River Phoenix. (R.I.P.)
But I don’t think Bill & Ted will prove as memorable as The Matrix (just as unfortunately . . . I’ve never been a fan of those films).

Ugly truth: I don’t do cinema. Or at least anything more current than, say, Orson Welles & some of film noir stuff. Fritz Lang, German Expressionists & Charlie Chaplin I can watch all day. But contemporary cinema– esp. major studio– no. Contemporary society spents way too much time obsessing over this stuff, and I just want no part of that.
And yeah– I’m a hypocrite, because here I am spending 5 minutes of my day responding to a thread about someone who may or may not be “a mediocre actor.” My feelings have nada to do with what “success” he might have. But you’re right: I’d have more social utility if I search out blogs about CEOs, teabaggers & preachermen (and women) to rail against.
Great movies starring Keanu Reeves: Bill and Ted (all of them), Devil’s Advocate, Scanner Darkly, Johnny Mnemonic (seriously), Thumb Sucker, Matrix (just the first one), and My Own Private Idaho. The Replacements was mediocre but sort of funny. That is a great bunch of movies. Despite his tendency to be a horrible actor, he makes good movies. Sort of like Nicholas Cage.
I’m pretty sure that when K.R. dies he’ll be remembered as the bass-player in Dogstar
Or just blanket-rail against all amoral, unethical CEOs, teabaggers & bad preachermen without going to all the trouble of doing the background work, that’s OK too.
To me KR will always be Neo, The One.
Am I the only one around here to have the guts to say that?
Alex Winter directs movies and stuff.
You forgot Point Break! I fucking love Johnny Mnemonic. “But we still have…ice.” The first Matrix is awesome. I thought that Linklater did a really good job with Scanner Darkly.
Haha.
I hope that my children remember him as Spike in the live adaptation of Cowboy Bebop.
Without doing the background is cool, ’cause I’m kinda lazy sometimes.
to me he’ll always be the little music school teacher bitch in Dangerous Liasions. Can’t believe Malkovich let that douche kill him.
“Keanu” is Polynesian for “fat Klaatu”
First time I saw Johnny Mnemonic I totally lost my shit when Ice-T jumped out with a cross-bow.
man people are always saying that only the first matrix was good, and some people disagree about even that. I don’t know. I mean, yeah the third one was kind of lame when he got his powers in the “real world” and then was like jesus or something, but I watched them all three in a row one afternoon when I had nothing to do and I thought that they were overall pretty good as far as sci-fi goes. I mean, there’s better, I guess.
ugh.
I know! And Dolph Lundgren as a hitman priest!
me too keanu
I really like Keanu. Less for his work, more for my perception of the real dude. Could be way off, of course – but he seems genuinely interesting.

guy has a reason to be depressed.
he lost his unborn child & wife, but not exactly together.
“[Reeves is] very good friends with his Bill & Ted co-star, Alex Winter and has remained in contact with him. Keanu has also contributed cameo appearances and helped with a number of Winter’s film projects.”

At least Keanu knows where he stands.
Can’t say the same for some of those other, ahem, celebrity actors out there.
