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.

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.

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

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.

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
― mh, Wednesday, 6 November 2019 01:19 (four years ago) link
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.
