finally got to see the first 3/4s

The Anu got a Razzie nomination for this?

whut. I thought it was a good performance. Better than, say, ASD, which he spent the duration of looking stoned (ok admittedly he was supposed to) but everyone seems to think was brilliant for some reason...

it WAS a good performance.

re-watched the movie a few days before... and kept wondering why so many negative reviews. my only conclusion was that the reviewers simply could not 'see' Connor because they were looking for Neo... and the latter just wasn't there...
so they got frustrated.

as for the Razzies.... bah. give absolutely no importance to that item in my book ...
and not because of The Anu. simply 'cause those evaluations/opinions are extremely subjective.

I AM one of that 'everyone' , ok ? *fumes*
and the reasons are many ... * fumes some more*

ok, it all has to do with the way one 'reads' the novel. he totally fit my 'idea' of Arctor ... but then again, this is subjective, too...

I like that movie!

It's one of my mum's favourites as well, she even showed it to her 10 year-old students

It's spelt 'Conor'.



No Neo in him, but I did see some Connie occasionally...

Keanu gave an overall good performance in Hardball in my opinion. In a few scenes, I think he sorta overacted a little bit such as when he was talking to Diane Lane outside of the bar. But it could be my problem. I always found many well-acclaimed actings overacting such as Meryl Streep's in The French Lieutenant's woman.

I watched Hardball once only and my memory's a bit fuzzy, but I remember appreciating the work he did in it. I thought his Conor foreshadowed his Constantine. But I probably won't ever watch Hardball again 'cause I just can't take what happens towards the end...which is too bad, now that I think about it, 'cause I could watch Keanu singing, "I love it when you call me big poppa," all day.

^ Yes, that.

Meanwhile I have also decided that Conor O'Neill is awesomecakes, and he would probably be my favourite Keanu character if not for the existence of Neo and Ted.

That song is just weird though.

Hardball is on HBO - I love this movie. I don't know if anyone else remembers this or had this experience, but it came out on September 14. We were all in shock, but my Mom and I went to see it and sat in a room full of people who laughed and cried, barely two weeks after 9/11.
