Cool Breeze Over the Mountain
There are many unexplained myseries in life. Like, for instance, what did happen to the crew of the Marie Celeste? Are crop circles really just an elaborate hoax? Is there really a giant dinosaur/monster splashing about in the Loch Ness?
I can get to grips with most paranormal/just plain weird oddities if I feel particularly open-minded. Sometimes I even find myself nodding as if I actually believe them.
But I cannot, cannot understand this one:
How is it that Keanu Reeves is never without work?
I mean, hey I like Keanu. A lot. He's Ted 'Theodore' Logan for crap's sake. He's also John Constantine. I like most of his movies. I think I could get on with Keanu over a frozen latte and a slice of carrot cake.
But he is the worst actor - ever.
Honestly, he's appalling. Wooden. Awful. Embarrassing. I want to die for him every time he attempts a particularly complicated monologue that also involves moving about. His heartfelt scenes just look like constipation. Has he been taking Acting 101 from Joey Tribbiani?
I can't get my head around the fact that he's always getting such fantastic roles. A Scanner Darkly anyone? What is it with Hollywood? Even now, although he's no dog, you can't really argue that he gets the roles because he's pretty. He is cute but he's no young hunk, is he?
And there is no excuse for him not to up his game.
In an industry filled with talented and attractive actors such as Eric Bana or Christian Bale it's surprises me that directors still turn to Keanu and soon they might not.
Can't anyone take him aside and tell him? Sensitively, like so as not to hurt his feelings. I want to see him act his socks off, just once, with feeling.
Come on, Cool Breeze, you can do it for Wondy!

She is already dead - she died in a horrific remote control accedent back in 1989 - she was resirected from the dead by a twisted and purly evil mad sicentist. She can not be killed sad to say..
She also feasts upon the brains of the living.....true! my mother told me
I have a strange fascination with (and mild attraction to) Keanu, but I totally agree with you. Despite his finer(ish) moments as Ted, Neo, and Constantine, he really isn't much good.
I want to see more of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers instead.
So...Keanu is so bad he's taking acting classes from a fictional character instead of Matt LeBlanc? Silly Human Girl!
:)
Hollywood craves more actors with his wooden style. It's consistent so there are no surprises. You don't they actually like all that off the cuff emoting now do you?
Agreed on both: Keanu is so cute but a terrible actor--and Mariah Carey is so horribly phony that I can't stand her.
