The article’s banner image... I always forget just how fucking pretty late 80s/early 90s Keanu was. No wonder he was #1 on my celeb crush list for so long.
I expected Ted to be way closer to the top of the list here, as that was the first name to pop into my head when I read the question. The studio types who are skeptical about the prospects of financing a new Bill & Ted movie might as well be amorphous blob-creatures from Neptune, their thought processes are so alien…
I’ve given this some thought in the past, about how hard I was on Keanu when he was younger and how much I’ve come to like him now. But I’ve found that I still, generally, strongly dislike him as a younger actor - I like Ted, I like the Parenthood guy, and that’s about it.
It’s Ted for sure. He’s like a little puppy. He’s sweet, kind, treats the princess babes with decency and respect, humble and self-aware enough not to put himself above stealing his dad’s keys even though he hasn’t done it yet, he’s the whole package. Wyld Stallyns!
I first watched A Walk in the Clouds as a kid because my sisters rented the movie, but I have always liked it.So nice romantic love interest Paul Sutton for me.
I’m surprised no one mentioned Scott Favor from My Own Private Idaho.
Johnny Utah? Anybody?
Since I haven’t seen it mentioned, Bob Archer in A Scanner Darkly. His calm, detached voice works great against Downey Jr and Woody Harrelson. As well as his slow fade into addiction.
He’s great bonding with Joquin Phoenix in that movie too.
Even though it’s River Phoenix’s film, Keanu does hold his own in My Own Private Idaho. But mine is probably John Wick, a character which needs an understated performance which he specializes in.
It probably isn’t my favorite, but the role is so rarely mentioned I have to try. Martha Plimpton’s boyfriend in Parenthood. He’s basically there to cause clashes between Martha and her mother (Dianne Wiest), but he has a sincerity and sweetness that keeps the story from becoming exhausting. He also had a scene in his…
This certainly seems like the correct legal ruling, and people shouldn’t let their political leanings, their hatred of the Patriots, or those incorrect reports of a link to human trafficking get in the way of seeing that the cops overreached in this case, and that threatens all of our privacy. I’m glad he had the the…
Before the rebuild they were spending $30M/year more and going nowhere. That was better?
And I thought my hand on the helmet was amazing!
I was all set to think this was some rich-guy-buys-indulgence bullshit (and maybe it is!) but that does indeed sound like some pretty severe overreach by the cops.
And no one’s been charged with trafficking either which started this whole media circus. Great police work there, Lou.
Nate Jones has never been any good. I’m going againt my history and say that I don’t care what the numbers say, any time I saw him pitch, every hitter he faced hit the ball hard.
By July 31, it was obvious that he was perhaps their best overall player. In all, by the time the White Sox get around to promoting him, they’ll have deliberately gone without their best outfielder and probably best hitter for two and a half months, almost a full half-season.
Imagine looking at anything that happens in Spring Training as if it means anything.
