You could be Salazar Slytherin himself and I'd still stand up and cheer for that defense. I wish you wrote stuff like that more often, although I guess for the most part you already have elsewhere on the site. At any rate, thank you for putting it all so eloquently.

My advice: it would be better to visit other sites. Just don't go upsetting people here when you clearly don't get it. PLEASE find some other hobby. Go and harass others, find a Ryan Gosling fan-site, for all I care.
I may not comment here very often but I visit here a lot! Don’t have the urge so much to go and write something but this time, …
Just couldn’t let this one pass!

BTW: I agree with Mme Renard too!

Bliss, "agreement" requires two or more people. I am not agreeing to disagree. I am merely disagreeing.

Thank you, Bee10.

Keanu's acting has never been conventional method acting, which is all some people (not including fine method actors, by the way) understand as "good acting." His approach is different, more subtle, often conveyed through much smaller expressions than some people can be bothered to notice. I would argue that those smaller, less obvious expressions, are how most people react to things in real life. Comparing Keanu to Hayden Christiansen, Jean Claude Van Damme, Nicholas Cage, is absurd. They have roles that span a range of a fingernail, Keanu's roles include an enormous, far more challenging range.

Although he's my father's favourite actor and I've watched a huge amount of his films as a result, so I might be biased there. He's had his share of crappy roles, but there were some great ones in the mix as well.

and Ghost Rider, 1, not 2. But yes, my feelings about Nicholas Cage are probably more about choices than acting, and he has more range and ability, in my opinion, than the other two.

I can cheerfully agree to disagree with you ;-)

Excellent decision. You missed absolutely nothing in GR 2.

I've mostly watched his better films, I guess: Con Air, Face Off, The Family Man, The Rock...

I found GR1 entertaining. :|

I loved him in National Treasure, though, and I always will.

Con Air was good ok. :|

Was Leaving Las Vegas the one he got the Oscar for?

Yes. Not saying he didn't deserve it; just saying it's one of the toughest cinematic slogs I've ever sat through - mainly because of how it treated Elizabeth Shue's character.

Biggest problem with Nicolas Cage is that he makes a lot of movies just for the money ... and it shows.

But like Ani says, the man seems to practically sign in for any script thrown his way. And some of those.... no. just NO.

but he's Canadian ;-)

Yep! It might not necessarily be for the money, but he does seem to just do practically any script that comes his way.

There's a reason for that...he neglected to pay back taxes and has had to take just about any and every role to pay it. He lives/d a fairly high lifestyle at the same time he neglected his taxes so now...he's just trying to stay out of jail. Never piss off Uncle Sam on the big $$.

Best role? Raising Arizona. IMHO.
