@tnyfrontrow: Keanu Reeves doesn't have "gnomic blankness" but otherworldliness; it's as if he comes with his own private Theremin.

Q. Is Keanu Reeves a Good Bad Actor or a Bad Good Actor?ROBERT SCHROKO

DARGIS Who cares? He’s Keanu Reeves, dude, and an excellent movie star, blessed with a beautiful blank quality that lends itself to our projections and helps explain why he’s been a go-to savior, including in “Johnny Mnemonic,” “Little Buddha,” the “Matrix” trilogy, “The Devil’s Advocate” and “Constantine.”

SCOTT Neither! A good actor, period. One who has appeared in some pretty bad movies, for sure. (But who hasn’t?) Mr. Reeves has deliberately exploited both his exquisite facial bone structure and his gift for gnomic blankness with great success in the movies mentioned above, but in those solemn savior roles he demonstrates not stiffness so much as professionalism. Which he also shows in comic and villainous roles in movies as varied as “The Gift,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” and the hugely influential “Bill and Ted” pictures. If you want definitive proof of Mr. Reeves’s skill, look at Ron Howard’s “Parenthood” (yes, I know, but really!), in particular a scene in the kitchen with Dianne Wiest. He has a piece of business with a carton of milk that has stuck in my head for almost a quarter century as an emblem of precise and subtle screen technique. And the more you look at his performances, the more instances of that kind of skill you notice.

... gotta love the backhanded compliments. oh well.

Another nice pic of our guy.

thx for the pics !! Gosh yes , his hair is growing fast , the beard is coming out :D

He's got a "very serious Meditator"'s thumb , not a regular's one . hehe..

I Happened to be somewhere full of monks and old meditators ,and one of the things they had in common , was their fingers looks what i personally call
" Boneless" , thumbs stand more straightened .looks longer in your eyes

sorry if i confused you ,coz its not an idiom or a thing that Meditators ,themselves, would call it that . not sure if they are even aware of that . for some strange reason , it became my " thing" to check out Monks and Meditators' hands , and I just realized I became such a funny person when it comes to this :-/
