ADMIN  Forum Posts: 3077 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Was reading a completely neutral article in the local newspapers today about how Point Break 2 is going to be filmed here, and how director Jan de Bont hoped to have Keanu in a cameo role. Then the article said: "As actor Keanu Reeves would say: Whoa." and my fish alert went off.  Nothing at all negative in the article; it might in fact have been vaguely pro-Reeves if read without paranoia, but then they ended the article with a second 'Whoa'. and my fish alert went off again. I think I've been spending too much time on IMDb. Now I have a vague grudge against an poor newspaper journalist for no good reason. | ||

| Forum Posts: 160 Comments: 3 Reviews: 0 | The inevitable "Whoa!" in any article even vaguely referencing Keanu always raises my hackles. Dropping that "Whoa!" speaks to a supercilious pigeonholing, a self-important disregard for all of the hard work the man's done since Bill & Ted. It's a lazy, know-it-all, knee-jerk response from, I firmly believe, those who envy the man his success. Fundamentally, those who can, do. Those who cannot, criticize...and not very intelligently at that. | ||
