The Official "Say Something Nice About Keanu Reeves" Thread

[CO Liberal]

And remember - if you can't post anything nice, don't post anything at all....

(The Princess' "something nice" is "yummy".)

[Dastard Stepchild]

1. Keanu has nice hair.

And he seems a pleasant enough chap.

[Sabriel]

47. He doesn't look half bad bald

And not many people can carry it off.

[WindRavenX]

2. He was great in The Matrix movies

::ducks::

[radwriter0555]

25. He gave $50 MILLION of his salary to the crew who made Matrix..

his salary was $70 million plus.

Earlier this year. He said he had more money than he could spend in his lifetime, and he felt the crew was responsible for the success of the movie, not he.

He's also donated massive sums to City of Hope.

[radwriter0555]

26. OH, and I'd "do" him.

Oh yeah.

Way hot (when he's bathed)....

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

3. Uh

I was going to say something nice, but my mind went blank.



:D

[malmapus]

57. Uhhh

hehehe

[peekaloo]

4. I liked him in 'Parenthood'.

[Hobarticus]

5. I should have been born Keanu Reeves...

Instead I have to work a regular job


:cry:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

6. Keanu is much better than George Bush

:D

[tjdee]

7. His movies don't suck, and he has a nice smile.

I've seen a lot of his movies, and even though I do think he isn't America's greatest actor, his movies are always watchable and he never detracts from them. His brand of...whatever he does...works.

Plus, he looked hot in Speed.
Excuse me, HOT AS HELL. All buffed out and everything (and I don't like buffed out).

And as I mentioned, he has a nice smile.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

8. He's good-looking and liberal

[JohnKleeb]

9. I liked point break

:shrug:

[GCP]

32. I liked Point Break too

It's a guilty pleasure of mine -Patrick Swayze, Keanu, Garry Busey, Lorri Petti and even Anthony Kiedis. What's not to love??

Anyone who doesn't agree can get stuffed! <<ducks>>

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. I think he's HOT!

I always have ever since I was a teenager. :9

[henslee]

11. Kicks a lot of money to environmental causes/ social causes. Generally

known as a very nice person. No need to dog him just because he's worth 100 million and is a mediocre actor

[BlueJazz]

12. He's Modest and likable

When he was on "The View" he said: "Well, I'm not much of an Actor but I try to make the story interesting"

He's far nicer than some of the Ego-Freaks...

[NightTrain]

13. I got a kick out of BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY.

Playing Twister with the Grim Reaper: now that's funny!!!

[Gothic Sponge]

14. He was great in 'River's Edge'

[Emops]

15. 1. The Bill & Ted movies are hilarious.

2. It wasn't his fault "The Matrix" sucked ass.

[Biased Liberal Media]

16. He was hilarious in Bill & Ted

that role suits him perfectly.

You said nice! LOL!!

[Kilkenny5]

17. Three words

I.LOVE.HIM!

:bounce:

[Skip Intro]

18. I liked My Private Idaho

that was a trippy flick

Bill and Ted cracked me up.

Didn't really like him in Point Break.

He was ok in the Matrix movies.

Damn, one's missing....

Oh, Speed. That was a pretty cool flick.

Well it was.

[sundog]

36. oh yeah, I almost forgot about MPI... amazing flick

[miss_kitty]

19. I've always referred to him as

'That Gay Man I Am Going To Marry'

Yeah baby, I'll be your beard! anytime!

[SarahB]

20. He has a good head of hair.

:shrug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. He was good in the first Bill and Ted movie

[ProfessorGAC]

22. OK. I Like Him!

I admit i don't understand the Keanu hatin'! I don't think he's a poor actor. Not excellent, by any stretch, but a decent character actor.

I loved him in Bill & Ted. Then, when he was in Chain Reaction (is that right? The one about the cheap energy project with Morgan Freeman?) i thought he was a good action hero type.

I liked him in the Matrix (but i didn't like the other two movies at all).

And, he plays in a band and has never tried to leverage his existing fame to get a contract. Just plays for the fun of playing.

So, what i can say nice is: Keanu, you're ok by me.
The Professor

[BigMcLargehuge]

23. He was very good in The River's Edge

[arwalden]

24. I Love His Twinkling Squinty Eyes And Beckoning Smile

[dr.strangelove]

27. Bill and Ted's gave me a reason to indulge in the wacky weed!

Thats about the best I got.

[DemWitch]

28. He's very handsome!

Beautiful eyes...

Should have done Speed 2 and turned down the second and third Matrix.

[DS1]

29. He's taller than me

dammit

[DrGonzoLives]

30. He knows kung-fu

Whoa

[Phillycat]

31. He has a nice ass.

[sundog]

33. He was in a great movie: Dangerous Liaisons

but he sucked in it :P

[Deja Q]

34. Okey dokey then: Keanu Reeves is best when he is acting!

(of course, since when has he ever acted? :evilgrin: )

[devilgrrl]

35. He's a kick ass ice hockey goalie!

Seriously! I saw him play pick-up in Sylmar and he's pretty damned good. He wasn't playing against slackers either, most had played college or Juniors and he stopped almost everything - I was truly impressed.

[Blue in a Red State]

37. Um. He's not Adam Sandler?

[terrya]

38. He's not a Republican.

That's pretty much the only nice thing I can say about this "actor"

[Politicub]

39. He's hot

Yummy.

[nickgutierrez]

40. He was perfect for "The Matrix"

I was actually thinking about this the other night - it's not that he was tremendous or amazing in the role of Neo, but that the part was written with his acting capabilities (or lack thereof) in mind. He was a piece of wood, but he had to be to pull that part off. Anything else would have been less believable.

[bigwillq]

41. Keanu is beautiful

And he seems like a very nice guy.

[tigereye]

69. there you go

he is really really attractive. Yikes. Did I say he was really attractive? :evilgrin:

[Revolucionario83]

42. Hmmmmm

I thought speed was a good movie, & will it sound weird that I think he's good looking guy???? :shrug:

[put out]

43. I saw "The Gift"

which is about a woman who has psychic abilities. Also, there were some other things in this movie (and I recommend it).

Mr. Reeves played an abusive, coarse, ne'er-do-well, jealous husband. And, do you know what? He was really good. No valley-boy, surfer "dude speak". Maybe there is a bit more than meets the eye.

So, Keanu, start exploring character roles. You could shine.

[Cush]

44. liked him in the two Bill & Ted flicks

[Misunderestimator]

45. Keanu, though a talentless hack, has probably never hurt anyone.

[KamaAina]

46. He's part Hawaiian.

hence the name "Keanu", which means "the cold"; not shabby for someone who's from Toronto.

[procrastinator]

48. SPEED was a pretty decent movie.

[mitchum]

49. He doesn't seem as stupid as bush

[Hans Delbrook]

50. I wouldn't kick him out of bed

Unless he was better on the floor.

[corporatemedia]

51. no one lives forever

[FreedomFry]

54. He does a great dumb guy. n/t

[corporatemedia]

61. yeah

in fact i love the "excellent adventure" movie.
one of the best of the "teen movie" genre.
the best has to be "fast times....

hey, i've never done a poll but i just got an idea for one-
best teen genre movies..

but i can't think of any.
got any ideas?

signed,
dumb guy


p.s. to show you how dumb, what the hell does "n/t" mean???
i don't know all chat room abbrevs. some i do like LOL/LMAO/ROFL.
i try to get as many of those as i can.

i'm in the running in the "best joke donation to DU" thread.
check it out.

love your username

[FreedomFry]

64. n/t means ...

"No thread." As in, I didn't post anything except the title, so you don't have to waste time looking at my post.

Thanks for the FreedomFry compliment. A bit dated, perhaps, but I'm French and proud of it.

And yes, do start a "Best Teen Genre Film" thread. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club" come immediately to mind.

[Baja Margie]

52. Heh, what's the deal

He's a total FOX & he surf's & he's not a Republican.

[legally blonde]

53. He's a hottie

:loveya:

[natrat]

55. he lives in hotels-nice ones

[cjm2222]

56. One of his favourite authors

is Philip K. Dick--who is a great writer. Ergo, Keanu probably isn't as stupid as some would believe.

[TroubleMan]

58. For someone who had no prior experience in martial arts...

He made some great fight scenes in the Matrix. Of course having the Yuen's directing them helps a lot.

However, I still think Lawrence Fishburne did better.

[UpsideDownFlag]

59. he says "...whoa..." very well. nt

[jobycom]

60. He;s never lied to invade a nation and murder 100,000 innocent people

I have low standards these days.

[realisticphish]

62. the LOUNGE thing to do

would have been to not reply at all :evilgrin:

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[LSdemocrat]

63. I liked "The Devil's Advocate"

[ronnykmarshall]

65. He HOT!!!

mmmm! mmmm! M!

[Zuni]

66. not today. Bad mood

I am not going to find something I like about this asshat today.

[skygazer]

67. "Something nice about Keanu Reeves"

There you go.

[donheld]

68. Yummy is right

[FeelinGarfunkelly]

70. Good at kicking his own ass

And saying "woah" gotta give him that.
