About Us
"The last time you made just a passing reference to KR, one of his defenders was on the thread within minutes, or possibly seconds. It's like a kind of Keanu SWAT team. I love it!"
– Frau_Ilsa_Lazlo
WINM aims to be the leading English-language fansite for actor Keanu Reeves, building a trusted information archive that fans, journalists and researchers can rely on, and nurturing a vibrant community of fans coming together from all around the world in shared appreciation of his immortal awesomeness.
WINM was the original home of the Keanu SWAT Team, who once sought to be the forefront player in defending Keanu and his acting against those who would besmirch his fine name. It was with bittersweet joy that we first witnessed the Sad Keanu awakening and then the Keanussance unfold, and found our services no longer needed as often as they were before.
These days, we primarily act to stamp out misinformation and bizarre fake news about Keanu, which has been especially prevalent of late on social media. If you see a viral Facebook post about him, there's a 95% chance it isn't true.
For those who have wondered how much time we spend on this, we appreciate your concern, and would like to say that most of us are perfectly functional human beings. We are not a bunch of unemployed slobs sitting in our parents' basements covered with chips. My parents don't have a basement.
We are not in any way officially affiliated with Keanu Charles Reeves. Most likely he does not know we exist. It's probably a good thing. We might scare him.

About the Webmaster
I'm a science fiction writer who hoped to write movies in Hollywood one day, but instead ended up selling lots of poetry and losing an award to Neil Gaiman. In my day job, I muck around with websites and correct other people's English. Here is my homepage. It is very outdated.
Keanu Fan Since: July 2004
Favourite Keanu Films: The Matrix, John Wick, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Speed, I Love You to Death, The Devil's Advocate, Hardball, The Night Before
Least Favourite Keanu Films: Dracula, Point Break, the 5 minutes of Johnny Mnemonic I survived through. I will attempt to watch the whole thing one day. Some people claim it's good. But those people also claimed that Point Break was good and that I have terrible taste.
Favourite Keanu Character: Conor O'Neill, because he sucks at everything
Favourite Dogstar Songs: 32 Stories, Cornerstore, Enchanted
