As for the sex. I say bring it on. The better visual to have at night when you're all alone in your room fantasizing:)

The one and only scene from his movies that has ever disturbed me is the end of Devil's Advocate. That blood splatter and his eyes just going blank freaks me out each and every time.

But hey, carry on, it'll be fun to see who wins the game once the flick comes out and we see who guessed the closest ;).

With regards to GenUm, since they've promised us "self-discovery", I sincerely hope that they deliver, though I wouldn't blame anyone for being skeptical. I don't mind if a movie is just a sex-filled good ride, as long as they are honest about it, because I hate being lied to. I don't think they should incite us to seek profoundness, symbolism and brilliance in movies where you will not find them. It just leaves you feeling empty inside. You guys are right, though, we won't know the deal until it comes out.

being a fan of Keanu doesn't mean that you have to watch - or want to watch - everything he's ever done. I do agree that discovering his movies and seeing how he fleshes out his characters is interesting, but he's so genre-unspecific that he can easily make one movie you love and another one you hate.

I just couldn't let that one slip by.

Luca M,

Some people, like it and some people don't ;) I caught that, you clever thing, you. Thanks for inserting that. I think that's the most brilliant line ever stated . . . lol :D

p.s. When is this private screening event taking place :D

I'm trying to imagine the "self-discovery" aspect of this movie, and I'd have loved to see Mann's earlier work (what little there apparently is). There are so many little-known names here, so there's not much to base any background research on.

I've been spending much time at my computer lately, holed up at home after my job went belly-up. Now I'm just sitting here, sort of twitchy and nail-biting, waiting for this little window that might be opening at the company where my colleague got work. It's driving me nuts to have to wait, so I'm glad to have this place to come to. So if anyone thinks it's silly to discuss anything based on what little we know about GUm, I'm sorry for that. If you'd rather I don't, please let me know and I'll stop.

re. the p.s - dunno yet, but if you ask us nicely, we might allow you to tag along ;)

LucaM, how nicely would you like me to ask :P

Q: You just started filming Generation Um. How is that going?

Reeves: Two days in and it’s going great.

Q: For people that don’t know, can you talk a little bit about what it’s about?

Reeves: Yeah. It takes place over 24 hours. You follow this character named John. It’s basically the relationship between him and two call girls. He’s the driver and he ends up stealing a video camera and hanging with them in an apartment. It’s kind of about the interpersonal dynamics of this family.

OK, so now we know that much more. Two call girls and a guy with a video camera. I dunno what to say.
