KEANU REEVES: HE'S PRETTY MUCH Y TOO BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN RUDD OR CUSACK

Much Ado About Nothing, lol

he's better in Much Ado than K Branagh.

^^^^ otm!

he's a totally horrible actor who has been in some great great movies.

And the correct answer is River's Edge (even tho Crispin's role is better)

and wait there's a movie missing from this list - Permanent something...? where he has a friend who commits suicide and they have a shitty rock band... Lou Reed is in it and Joe Strummer wrote "Trash City" for the sdtk. It isn't very good.

permanent record.

Permanent Record

arrgh x-post

it is kind of lame that the gene hackman movie with keanu in it is about the 1987 redskins

I also wd like to borrow B&T's time machine and see Keanu in the Vancouver production of Hamlet that he starred in.

man i cried over that hard ball movie

I would feel unfair to myself if I didn't vote for Point Break, but Bill & Ted is my runner-up, should Point Break not be able to serve its duties.

but other than that shakey mo and dr morbius are as usual total know-nothings when it comes to the movies

ppl should not be all "hey it's a funny movie about keanu coaching a little league team" and then all mix it up with crazy sad shit

the crazy sad shit is completely telegraphed from a mile out though

oh don't even start with this shit that you were all expecting that little kid to die

I really dig Pvt Idaho but ugh those Shakespeare monologues

i remember when that was my favourite movie. i was a teenager.

btw The Lake House was better than it had any right to be

negative bro points

I do kinda know nothing about the Bill & Teds, I lasted 20 mins w/ each.

Shakey, those are good! "You wouldn't even look at a clock unless hours were lines of coke ..."

I'm voting BOGUS JOURNEY. One of the rare sequels that's better than the original. I also like Constantine and Parenthood probably more than I should.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

missing Chain Reaction w/ Rachel Weisz

bogus j

I am voting on my wife's behalf. She sez "My Own Private Idaho".

no THE GIFT = you have failed as a poll maker you fuck.

Bill & Ted - no question about this one.

Mer-cew-shee-ooh...

bill & ted's bogus journey is a better "remake" of the seventh seal than private idaho is of chimes at midnight.

his best character after Scott Favor is Siddhartha.

I actually meant to do a Keanu poll last week. Point Break anyway because Bill & Ted is more about Alex Winter for me.

My Own Private Idaho, naturally. Could he have played Mike Waters too?

no river's edge love? eh i'm kinda leaning point break tho

morbs - little buddha stupidest movie evar

He was also pretty good in that Cate Blanchett movie in which he plays sullen white trash.

yes! i was surprised, i don't think i've seen him act better than in The Gift

The Gift is terrible though - it has the most predictable twists imaginable.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Write in vote for Sweet November.

Keanu Reeves stories are the new Chuck Norris jokes (only true)

wkiwk

saw K outside my office twice this spring

RIP Keanu
You were a generous and kind-hearted hunk.

weirdly the most heart-warming of all those stories is that he still hangs with Alex Winter. be excellent to each other!

Winter told a great anecdote in an interview about catching up with Keanu in New York City when it just happened to be Halloween, so they dressed up in Bill & Ted drag and wandered around the streets

that is awesome

sic otm

also, casting the guy from the matrix and constantin is part of it

OK sic has convinced me that I should try watching John Wick 1 at some point; I can only say that coming in cold to -- well, looking at the Wikipedia plot summary, I see it was John Wick 2 I watched 45 minutes of, not 3 -- none of the depth you're talking about was visible.

plot summary on wikipedia before watching, eeeshup

two is the poorest its merely good

The opening scene of 2 wasn't great in fairness.

tbh its v hard to pick out what scenes are in which, of the ways you could divide the eight-odd hours up, "by movie" isnt necessarily the way to do so

two is the poorest its merely good

otm

it's a necessary build-out from the revenge/grief unstoppable line of the first movie* to the glorious camp universe of 3 and presumably 4-6 and the Atomic Blonde crossover, but it has Ruby Rose in it

this scene is basically a masterpiece though



* Mandy / John Wick double feature pls

of the ways you could divide the eight-odd hours up

a tiny arthouse here showed the three b2b for $25 one weekend afternoon recently.

honestly you could run them in a loop on TV or in a gallery and just drop in/out at any point at all to watch some beautiful lighting and dance scenes, but yeah if you want a story to follow eephus, you gotta start at the beginning

or in a gallery

John Wicks in one room, Playtime in another, The Clock in a third. please give me a grant now

2 is my favorite but i gotta watch 3 again

this scene is basically a masterpiece though

I couldn't grasp what was happening in this scene! Were they just... constantly missing with their shots for some reason? Or was Keanu hitting the pillar on purpose or...?

I mean I haven't seen this one, but it seems like the joke is that they're trying to shoot each other while also acting casual and not causing a scene.

2 is my favorite but i gotta watch 3 again

this is also my position

Reeves was perfectly cast in Speed.

No one mentions his work in Something's Gotta Give, where he falls in love with Diane Keaton but the stupid plot mechanism requires her to dump this guy 25 years her junior so that Jack Nicholson can sex her. He's poignant and hilarious.

jack was more age appropriate

for whom?

I mean I haven't seen this one, but it seems like the joke is that they're trying to shoot each other while also acting casual and not causing a scene.

this guy gets it

as well as being visually funny, it's a meta-joke about the global secret society of assassins with their own network of hotels & communications & ludicrously impractical currency existing right alongside a completely oblivious populace, as if everything about what they do wouldn't be completely obvious IRL

john wick movies are absolutely brilliant, they strike me as exactly the right way to do an action flick

which wick flick do u pick

it's a meta-joke about the global secret society of assassins with their own network of hotels & communications & ludicrously impractical currency existing right alongside a completely oblivious populace, as if everything about what they do wouldn't be completely obvious IRL

My theory is that John Wick exists in a universe where the Enlightenment and Reformation mostly never happened and all of the assassin stuff is known by the world at large but it's treated as an extension of pre-modern privateer rules and Catholic secret society shit.

My favorite ridiculous thing about the Wick films is not that there is a secret society of assassins but that seemingly every single person in the world belongs to this society, which sort of negates the need for secrecy. I love it, so dumb.

he falls in love with Diane Keaton but the stupid plot mechanism requires her to dump this guy 25 years her junior

i guess keanu played the something that had to give

tbf Keanu’s presumptive girlfriend has the silver hair color that a bunch of women in their 20s have, and probably colored it that shade. she’s just bold enough to do it over age 40

lol Brad, you get an honorary “heyooooo” for that

i must be spending way too much time on Keanu sites cause I knew about his girlfriend like months ago? When they went together to the YSL show. I figured they were just being private. Anyway happy for both of them, she seems cool and looks amazing, wtf is wrong with people.

John Wick would easily top this poll now I think, and I appreciate his Constantine more now than I did then. certainly the best thing Akiva Goldsman has ever been involved in lol.

you diseased action junkies

Junkies are non-discerning, this thread overflows with discernment!

guess Morbs really does want more The Lake Houses and Henry's Crimes and Generation Um...s and Exposeds and Destination Weddingses

mmm i dont think squinting + hair + beard = keanu but if ppl go for it then good for him lol

idk he looks pretty close to me

something's a bit off about the accent

another addition to the canon

ahhh <3
sandy & keanu stories are my favorite subgenre

idk he looks pretty close to me

Adam Driver is the Nu-Keanu.

i love Adam Driver but no

listen to me:
there is no nu-Keanu, it’s not ~possible~
