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.

"I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend… I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend. " - Keanu Reeves

He made news by refusing to take part in Speed 2: Cruise Control and choosing to play the title role in a 1995 Manitoba Theatre Centre production of Hamlet in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[7] Roger Lewis, the Sunday Times critic, wrote, "He quite embodied the innocence, the splendid fury, the animal grace of the leaps and bounds, the emotional violence, that form the Prince of Denmark...He is one of the top three Hamlets I have seen, for a simple reason: he * is* Hamlet."

Good to see that Keanu is finally enjoying himself this summer after the sad Keanu sitting on a bench photos, and hopefully we'll get more updates about his emotional health as the summer heads into the home stretch.

Is there any verification of him hanging with Alex Winter 'cause that would totally make my day.

"Story:My buddy from high school sells and he was bringing some shit over to my place. Keanu is his cousin and he came with him. Not very exciting at all other than the fact that it's Keanu."
The pictures are great examples of this. Just a dude, his girlfriend, his dog and Keanu, just chilling at a park. Awesome story imo.

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.

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

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.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Wednesday, 6 November 2019 00:02 (four years ago) link
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.

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

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.
