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

I may need someone to outline this thread title for me. Or maybe it's the inclusion of Cusack that is throwing me off.

Y = Yes

Harkens back to a time when Cusack wasnt a complete nonstarter

I have a lot more problem with Rudd than Cusack in the title, but such was the way of Ally.

ally has some shit to explain. This and the jimmy fallon love.

Cusack has never been pretty. His deal was always non-descript everyman.

shhh / let peaceful like things (wins)

Every time I see this thread title I think “poor John Cusack”

Cusack has a worse career than Travolta at present

This thread was started in 2007. I can only imagine ally was a huge Must Love Dogs fan.

I may need someone to outline this thread title for me.

JOHN CUSACK Y

PAUL RUDD: ALSO Y

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

the only things I hear about Cusack are when he accidentally retweets the wrong thing because he can’t quite tell anti-establishment memes from bigoted ones, and occasional instances of women complaining about his tendency to slide into their messages

keanu very wise to keep a low profile

xpost ah! thank you.

happy birthday keanu ilu

yerac you are deeply wrong about cusack but this is not the cusack thread ONLY TALK ABT KEANU BC ITS HIS GODDAMN BIRTHDAY

One of the best things about my marriage is the Keanu-love I share with my husband

He really is the best

sry 5 daily mail content but i love keanu and i want him 2 be happy

He has not had a serious girlfriend in decades it seems, and has never been affectionate with a woman while on the red carpet during his 35 year career.

But that changed this weekend when Keanu Reeves held hands with business collaborator Alexandra Grant at the LACMA Art + Film Gala Presented By Gucci in Los Angeles.

The actor, 55, and the artist, 46, never let go of each other as they exchanged loving glances while posing for dozens of photos in front of the international press, proving they had nothing to hide

It was really disheartening to see the Twitter tide suddenly turning against Keanu for this of all things. I guess people think she looks too old? A lot of gross comments out there.

They look happy!

she’s a decade younger than he is ffs!

Everybody congratulating Keanu Reeves for having an "age appropriate" girlfriend. Em, she's 9 YEARS YOUNGER than him. That's like a 5 year old man having a girlfriend that won't be born for another 4 YEARS.

It shows we have NO IDEA how women age or what they--WE--really look like.

otm

sadly

lol @ limmy

It's time for Keanu to ditch the John Wick beard IMO

incorrect

What more recent Keanu numbers would break into this list now?

Surely we agree that the poll overrates Keanu in Bogus Journey at the expense of Keanu in Point Break and River's Edge (honestly I also love him essentially playing Ted again in Parenthood but I recognize that's an idiosyncracy)

John Wick movies are set 30 seconds apart and made 3 years apart, he needs to hide the terrible ravages of time upon his visage until the entire series is complete

I tried to watch John Wick 3 but nah, it's kind of depressing seeing Keanu play the blank-faced super-martial-artist that could be played by anyone. I made it through 45 mins or so. He is no more interesting in it than the guy who plays Bourne is in The Bourne Agglomerate.

Reeves is too funny to waste in movies that aren't funny (and I include River's Edge and Point Break as movies which are, in their dark way, funny)

River's Edge is totally funny

What more recent Keanu numbers would break into this list now?

the Wicks and Always Be My Maybe are great screen performances, would probably outrank Rush Rush but not Excellent Adventure

Surely we agree that the poll overrates Keanu in Bogus Journey at the expense of Keanu in Point Break and River's Edge

otm

(honestly I also love him essentially playing Ted again in Parenthood but I recognize that's an idiosyncracy)

otm except that how dare u he's not playing Ted, he's playing a nuanced and entirely differentiated teen goofus

kinda creepy how theyre focusing on yerwans age

obv john wick casting is 💯 💯 💯 all time and keanu is amazing on six levels in that role

yea its weird

well not weird its kinda exactly what I expected

this lady doesn't look even old, she just has grey hair, which is rare to see on a woman in Hollywood

Disappointed "Ortiz the Dog Boy" in "Freaked" was not an option.

Oh, shit, the whole movie is on youtube!

It's time for him to ditch the unclean John Wick movies

I Love You To Death Keanu is the average between Parenthood Keanu and Wick Keanu

I tried to watch John Wick 3 but nah, it's kind of depressing seeing Keanu play the blank-faced super-martial-artist that could be played by anyone. I made it through 45 mins or so. He is no more interesting in it than the guy who plays Bourne is in The Bourne Agglomerate.

1) obviously it takes a dedicated super-martial-artist / performer to spend the best part of a year learning and enacting that choreography so no it could not be played by anyone

2) the specifics of his blankness are, for real, extremely nuanced throughout the film. the first was him putting on a mask, a hated piece of armour that his entire identity was built on having shed, and alternating between that and exhausting grief - not just the breaking down scenes, but the tearing hollow emptiness that you feel having to go about any daily activities when someone has been torn out of existence. the second was him accepting that he had an obligation to fulfill, and he keeps that visible above (and as a cover for) his conflicting resentment/regret over being drawn back into the rules of the Continental / High Table, and the satisfaction he takes from being so good at what he trained for. the third sees him play tones of "blankness" ranging from shutting out all internal distractions from immediate survival, to sorrow over past hurt he committed on others, to 100% in-the-moment focus on tasks & fights, to desperation over how far out of control events have spun / stubbornness that he absolutely will not change course for anything, to various glimmers of how badly he has shut himself off emotionally & from basic human connection, especially when McShane sets up outs for him, or when Dacascos breaks kayfabe.

more like john sic

I "auditioned" to be one of dozens of fake Keanus in Matrix 2 tbh, but spread my legs to fit inside the outline of a person they had drawn on the wall and got dismissed for now not reaching the 6'1" line they had painted

It's time for him to ditch the unclean John Wick movies

in order to get back to making more The Lake Houses and Henry's Crimes and Generation Um...s and Exposeds and Destination Weddingses?

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.
