Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I originally posted this in the reality TV thread and am suitibly embarrassed

I hated Keanu for so long for Dangerous Liaisons, and I would not watch him in anything. Then I accidently saw Speed in the theatre and really enjoyed it, and also Walk in the Clouds. I recently rewatched Dangerous Liaisons, and I liked his adorable puppyness as long as he didn't speak. Also, I read somewhere that he gave some of his profitsharing for the Matrix to the Wardrobe people, and now I kinda love him as a person.

I think my favorite Keanu performance was in Speed (taking into account that I still haven't seen either of the Bill & Ted films). That performance was aided in no small measure by the chemistry he and Sandra Bullock had, as well as the excellent buddy-vibe he had with what's-his-face (Bill Pullman, right?).

Because books.

I have a ridiculous weakness for Keanu, and have had for years. He's so very pretty.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have a ridiculous weakness for Keanu, and have had for years. He's so very pretty.

And he is a seriously awesome person, from on-set reports.

Plus, he was genuinely good in River's Edge. Like, no monotone!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I think it was Jeff Daniels, not Bill Pullman.

I have never seen River's Edge-- I will have to wqtch. I did however fall asleep approximately 127 times trying to watch my own private idaho with my friend Melyssa in high school. She also had bootleg REM tapes!!

Never mention that again.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Speed was such an awesome vehicle (no pun intended) for Keanu. That was the first time me and my mom went "whoa" over him.

He wasn't even on my radar for Dangerous Liasons, so my love for that movie is still pure.

Iron Man, well, I think that was the first movie in awhile that left me grinning. Fun, horrific, silly, sad, touching, FUN! Also: Iron Man theme song RULES!

Demolition Man is SO MUCH FUN! "Let's go blow this guy!" "It's 'blow him away'"

also much fun to be had with The Last Boy Scout, and I'll echo the inability to love Hudson Hawk, no matter how many times I've tried to watch it.

Is it wrong that I still love Young Guns (and YG2)? I like the sound of them. Just hearing the dialogue and the music is comforting and classic to me. And I will always love me some Doc and Chavez.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I recently rewatched Young Guns 2 and it left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I'm leery of rewatching the original in case I ruin that too. Billy The Kid was just so desperate and pathetic. He was more fun in the first one, right?
