"I liked Conor because for all his hustling and scalping he has respect and a good heart.
"He's kind of trapped, and I think that's one of the reasons why, if you do | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | From keanuvision:
"One thing I want to comment on. There's a pizza box on the top of the TV (which is on top of another TV, heh, white trash decor), in the exact same place there was a pizza box presumably weeks ago when the barber's son paid a visit. There was some discussion on a list I'm on whether this was a continuity error. I'd just like to say again, that I know guys like Conor. It's the same pizza box. He also has no clean forks and is using at least one coffee cup as an ashtray. His trash can is overflowing with beer cans and if you look in his fridge there's nothing but a half bottle of spicy brown mustard, and an empty Miracle Whip jar with the knife still in it. I'm suprised he actually has sheets on the bed." <3 Also from kvision, in some vaguely related note: "Conor gets chased by a couple of the barber's thugs. This satifies the "In every Keanu Reeves movie, he must run" requirement, and I check it off the list." :D The whole series of Hardball recaps (4 in all) starts from here: http://www.keanuvision.com/archives/000103.html -> it's basically the whole film and therefore the entire thing is a spoiler. Don't click if you haven't watched. (Apparently some fish asked Keanu if he used eye drops for the crying scene. Luckily for Reeves, Conor won't be bashing down his door with an onion any time soon in attempts to make him cry.) | ||

TICKY sits at a stool near a familiar window that's boarded up. CONOR enters and slams the paperbacks on the bar. CONOR TICKY CONOR TICKY The BARTENDER stares him down. BARTENDER CONOR BARTENDER CONOR The BARTENDER glares at CONOR before going into the back room. CONOR turns to TICKY. CONOR (cont'd) TICKY CONOR remembers ELIZABETH. CONOR TICKY CONOR later: CONOR ELIZABETH CONOR ELIZABETH CONOR | ||

Forum Posts: 1364 Comments: 153 Reviews: 0 | One thing I wonder about, is whether any of Keanu's critics ever watched this movie... | ||
Anakin McFly | 2009-09-29 15:38 | ||
ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Apparently so. He got a Worst Actor Razzie nomination for it. :\ | ||
inkhuldra | 2009-09-29 23:34 | ||
Forum Posts: 1364 Comments: 153 Reviews: 0 | Geez, I wonder which movie those "judges" watched. Or which actor. Or maybe they just read Keanu's name on the cover and decided to nominate him without even watching it first. Did they give any specific reason for the nomination at all? | ||
Anakin McFly | 2009-09-29 23:42 | ||
ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | They never give reasons for these things. Though the review from Variety magazine said: "In a telling scene that displays his limits as an actor able to convey life's funny ironies, Reeves' way with Conor makes him look more like a schizophrenic than a man wrestling with his conscience."
http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/2001_0910_kea2.htm although Conor in the script was extremely schizophrenic (and awesome), more so than Keanu played him (though still awesome), so I don't know what they're getting at. ...This reminds me of the time when they accused Keanu of not being funny in The Replacements, putting this down to what they considered his always-lousy acting, when Keanu in an interview talked about how he and the director had decided on Shane Falco being the straight guy in the midst of the comedy. | ||

Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | prejudice and superficiality, mixed with a know-it-all attitude... it's a killer combination. | ||

Forum Posts: 268 Comments: 0 Reviews: 0 | Together with Sweet November, this is my mother's favourite Keanu movie. She was a teacher - now she has retired - and she has always liked this movie very much. She still keeps on saying that it should be shown in schools. | ||
