it is kind of lame that the gene hackman movie with keanu in it is about the 1987 redskins
― TOMBOT, Thursday, 14 June 2007 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link
I also wd like to borrow B&T's time machine and see Keanu in the Vancouver production of Hamlet that he starred in.

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.

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

"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

The opening scene of 2 wasn't great in fairness.
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 21:35 (four years ago) link
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
― deems of internment (darraghmac), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 21:38 (four years ago) link
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
― now let's play big lunch take little lunch (sic), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 21:42 (four years ago) link
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
― now let's play big lunch take little lunch (sic), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 21:47 (four years ago) link

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...?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 22:14 (four years ago) link
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.

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.
