Man, Keanu Reeves is such a shitty actor

movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

Man, Keanu Reeves is such a shitty actor

Post by Double_G »

I was just watching "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and Keanu's faux-British accent makes me want to peel my face off. Discuss.

My friends in college came up with a rule: If watching any movie with Keanu, you must add "Dude" to the end of every line he has.

my favorite Keanu quote is from the Matrix when he says, "I know kung fu."

homeboy, no you don't. you don't know shit.

i heard a rumor that "Keanu" is Mandarin for "empty skull." is that true?

"Bum Cake" is actually Bavarian for "uteral divinity."

He's not good, but I thought his inability to portray any emotion whatsoever lent itself perfectly to his portrayal of Neo. Everything else I've seen has sucked (except for Point Break, but he may have sucked in it - I can't recall).

Yeah, but I didn't think it was bad, since the scene gave me a boner, eh?

I thought Keanu did a pretty good job in The Devil's Advocate, but yeah, he is pretty bad.

They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

I liked TDA, it was a fun flick.

I saw Reeves in Parenthood again the other day on HBO or something. I loved that movie as a kid.

Well, it has been a little while since I have seen the movie, but yeah, I was serious. I think it is one of his better efforts anyways. Or maybe I just liked the movie and Pacino and Theron.

You know, I have to correct myself a little bit. Keanu Reeves isn't so bad when he's playing some jackass Valley teen (see the "Bill and Ted" movies and "Parenthood" for further reference), but his role in "Parenthood" would have been forgettable if not for that line "You know, you need a license to drive and fish, but they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father."
