After having spent too much time at imdb and always liked AnakinMcFlys comments there (One of the more intelligent posters over there), and after having done the same thing on ugossip, I started reading what's going on here, detected the awesome articles archive, the tweets of interest ... but remained a lurker.

And then I reorganized my DVDs and saw how many Keanu movies I owned. Oops, I told myself, I can as well join here!

Please bear with me, English is not my first language. I'll do my best!

A few things about me ...
- Even though I'm from Switzerland, the only way I'm washing my money is in the washing machine
- Detected Keanu via "Matrix" which I still remember as that movie where you must not blink (or you miss something important)
- Am 42 years old. Ouch, so old :-(
- Work in IT

eh, can't please everyone...

Matrix was and is, to me at least, the movie where you miss something even if you don't blink. That's why it takes multiple-and-then-some viewings to "get" it.

BTW, I'm also one of the diehard fans of Constantine (Seems there's a lot of us in here). Still, Connie is one of Keanu's characters who I'd most like to give a well aimed kick in the rear. Another is "Just Johnny" in Johnny Mnemonic.

In Donnie Barksdale's case, I would have done much more than just kick him. Actual hard objects would have been involved. I think Donnie is one of Keanu's most brilliant characters ever, because Keanu made me truly hate that guy.

... but ink, that doesn't exclude love... ;)
will shut up now.

Thanks you for your nice welcomes!!!

To answer the question which Keanu Movie is my favourite, I have to say ...

... I can't tell.

It depends on the mood I'm in, what I want from a movie in that mood.

I'll list several favourites and the fitting mood:

- Matrix - for the intellectual challenge combined with kick-ass action and stunning visuals - for the first few seeings, I needed to be alert and able to concentrate, now I can simply enjoy it for the action (and still detect new things about it)
- The gift - for Keanus interpretation of Donnie B.
- Constantine - because I find it so cool and rewatchable
- Something's gotta give for romantic moods (I always stop watching before the end. That woman has no taste, IMHO.) Plus - I want that beach house.
- The replacements - because it's just so much fun to watch.
- A walk in the clouds. Not his best performance, but when I need lots of sugar, that's the movie for me.
- My own private Idaho - I find this movie very touching and the way Keanus character becomes so dislikable at the end impressed me ... good performance.

Does this anwer your questions? ;-)
