What's New: 2010–12

EDIT: Survey has been closed. Thanks for all who responded!
I'm doing a term paper on online communities in actor fandoms, and would greatly appreciate it if you could help me fill in a survey. Thanks! :) Click here

I have marginally updated the Keanu Movie Database. It's not as updated as I would like, but it will do for now.

Keep on with the immortality, Mr. Reeves. When we're dying you'll be still alive.

Slow news at the moment (mostly reviews of Side by Side and Generation Um, which you can check out at the WINM forums), so I'd like to take this opportunity to advertise Keanu stuff on Tumblr:

Firstly, Keanuquotes, run by ARYA on WINM. It's got lots of Keanu photos and other material, so go check it out!

And secondly, Texts From Keanuspawn, which I created and run - basically it involves taking texts from Texts From Last Night and using them as captions for various Keanu film screencaps, thus providing great insights into the secret lives of the Keanuspawn. General warning - the original TFLN site is heavy on the sex/drugs/alcohol, so that applies to some of the blog content as well.

Have fun!

EDIT: um. at the moment, Keanuquotes appears to have a lot of reblogs from Texts from Keanuspawn. well then. two in one. :|

New song "Your World" has been added to the Dogstar music page. With thanks to Softie.

Hi everyone! I hate to do this, but the bill for this site is coming up in December 2012, and I'm about USD$55 short at the moment in my Paypal account. The site costs about USD$70 a year to keep running, and since 2008 it's been covered by all you awesome people and your donations. So - another $55 $35 to go, and we'll be good for another two years, all the way to December 2014!

I'm looking into cheaper hosting options in the meantime, and if all else fails I'll suck it up and ask my parents for their credit card to foot the bill and then pay them back, because my bank won't let me transfer funds to Paypal and I don't have a credit card. /o\ But any little donation helps! You will have my eternal gratefulness.

Thank you again to all of you for your support thus far and for helping to make this site - and Keanu fandom - the amazing community it is.

Lastly... LucaM, you are expressly forbidden to donate this time. You've given enough. :|

Never mind, LucaM donated despite me saying not to, and now the debt is covered. Thanks also to the others who donated!

I'm against the practice of censorship and believe in letting everyone freely express themselves on this site.

HOWEVER, as per the site rules, be respectful at all times, both towards Mr. Reeves and his fans. I don't care if you hate his guts or think he's the most horrible person in the world. You're entitled to your opinion. You're even entitled to share that opinion, as long as you do so in a civil manner, and in a form that is open for discussion.

He's not dead. Check your sources, people. The site in question has been around for ages as a template hoax site, and I can't believe it actually went viral. It even says it's fake, right down there at the bottom. And note how the date on the article is always the current date. And how none of the links on the top menu can be clicked on.

So, Keanu: not dead. Come on, he's immortal. Can immortal people die? No.

For all of you who celebrate Christmas, and for all of you who should be celebrating Neo Year. (every year is Neo Year.)

Here's wishing Mr. Reeves a happy 47th birthday. :D Congratulations, you're still alive! (Not that it's that hard for you, what with being immortal and all.)
And if you're sad, just remember: It can always be worse.

Collected posts from the now-defunct thankyoukeanu.com. With thanks to Funkelbie who started that site and gave WINM permission to repost them, and to LucaM for helping out tremendously with the coding. ... Read more

WINM is primarily an archive. I post articles that I think have some level of news value, and sometimes these come with photos which will get posted along with the articles (and are then uploaded separately into the gallery). ... Read more

The new gallery currently hosts movie posters, as well as hundreds of magazine and article scans (and/or their accompanying photos) grouped by year. These are also available through other parts of the site (such as the Keanu Movie Database and the individual articles themselves, but now they're all in one spot for easier accessibility.

While he is, like many other people, not Keanu, Sam Rockwell is still an amazingly awesome person who until today did not have a fansite. (There was Sam Rockwell Online, but it died a few years ago; there's also a fanlisting out there, but that's it.)

I have since rectified this problem, and I'm using this space to advertise the site because I can. So if you're a fan of Sam, go on over and register and be a pioneering member of a community that will hopefully, eventually, exist.

(with thanks to kiwicoy for the paid webhosting and taking charge of the gallery!)

Lastly, I've created a sitemap for WINM.

With thanks to LucaM.

For some reason the MagpieRSS feed system doesn't work on this domain (though it used to when I first tried it out), and so I'm hosting the Keanu Youtube feed over here instead. It's basically a real-time update of the latest Keanu-related videos over at Youtube, and there's usually something new every day, so that's something you can check out if you're bored.
