Interesting piece, but I'm not convinced. There's a reason why is best role is still Ted Logan.

keanu is a benediction, a blessing, a bestowance of cool breezes. keanu is the bodhisattva but he also confronts the bodhi, and grants him the space to annihilate himself inside the wave.
the world moves around keanu. when he moves at all, people claim that it is inauthentic and they sneer and poke at his ribs, but still the birds are fed.
i figure his woodenness works in certain roles because that's who he's often playing: a character who doesn't necessarily understand the script or the rules of the world he's been tossed into, repeats the lines in the voice of the character he's been given because there's nothing else to do, and eventually comes to realize his purpose is to simply add mass to the diegetic reality he's in so it changes the orbits of the others around him, and he's ok with that.

i don't think the world truly appreciates how fortunate it is to have had keanu and swayze appear together in the same filmspace.

morbs and vg did you guys see 'knock knock'? i'll rep for a lot of keanu movies that everyone else hates but this one was really, REALLY fucking terrible.

i've been trying to understand why my crush on keanu reeves has increased exponentially over the last five years and i think it's because the dream of the 90s is alive in him

well i guess it depends on the individual. the lake house was corny but i loved it for keanu. knock knock is a thriller/horror which isn't my typical type of movie. but the story was totally utterly stupid and the acting was lame from the whole cast. so if you're not normally down for romance movies, lake house still might be the worst.

I've rewinded the part where he reloads in the middle of shooting a guy at the club at least three times so far.

It's great at what it does and there really aren't enough movies in any genre that embrace that aim

It tickles my "appreciation of efficient reloading" gland, which I wasn't aware I had. Arguably this would make it an effective video-game movie.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 2 March 2017 12:13 (seven years ago) link
JW2 is okay but pretty flabby and about 10X more ridiculous. I want to know if it's set in a libertarian utopia where all policing is handled via contract killing.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 2 March 2017 12:15 (seven years ago) link
What's the deal with Keanu? I hear he's kind of a loner who lives in a modest apartment in NYC and never got over the tragic death of his fiancee, or something, which makes an intriguing profile. He intersting

Idk but a friend once knocked on his door in L.A. doing some political fundraising and apparently he was exceedingly chill and nice.

I really dug JW2 - it's not as lean as the first movie, some of the set pieces are overlong but for the most part I think it's a worthy sequel & I liked it so much I saw it twice
Chris Hardwick said the Continental network of purveyors was like Diagon Alley in Harry Potter & I cant unsee it now, lol
What was the thing Peter Serafinowicz the Sommelier was wearing around his neck? It looked like a sink strainer
Somehow I missed the whole thing with stairs & descent first time round: literally every set-piece begins with or involves him "descending" - underground to the catacombs, staircases, escalators, elevators. Maybe too on the nose for some but I was into it.
And the "Reflections of the Soul" exhibition scenes looked fantastic I thought.
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 2 March 2017 17:33 (seven years ago) link
the Common & Keanu fight on the stairs, and in the train.... OMG SO GOOD
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 2 March 2017 17:36 (seven years ago) link
That sequence also contains the chillest gun fight ever
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 2 March 2017 17:44 (seven years ago) link
if John Wick 3 doesn't have Common return with the knife still in his chest, held in place by some kind of elaborate apparatus to keep him alive, i'll be vv disappointed.
― nomar, Thursday, 2 March 2017 17:47 (seven years ago) link
Ruby Rose too - they have to keep pressure on each other's knives so they're always throwing knives/guns to each other.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 2 March 2017 17:49 (seven years ago) link
I hope they are setting up Common to return, a la the Forest Whittaker character who helped John after being left in a similar state

― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 3 March 2017 01:07 (seven years ago) link
Keanu 52 is the kind of guy who quotes Shakespeare sonnets unprompted which is somehow both douchey and endearing. Or maybe it's just endearing cause it's Keanu.

"Chill gunfight" maybe the rare joke that is too stoopid even for a film about assassin club, felt like true lies or something
I liked this film except for the boring bits. I wonder if each film will keep doubling down on "opening fire with an automatic weapon in a club is good"
