Somebody told me The Killers are kool and I'm inclined to agree.
I spent my last day of freedom yesterday almost entirely in bed. I managed to finish one set of matrix commentaries and an entire ball of black wool. So the first set of commentaries was by two "philosophers" who really like the movies, and more importantly, have some sort of understanding of them and an interpretation of what it all means. I was hoping that the second set of commentaries, three film critics who did not like the movies, would at least have some good arguments as to why they didn't like the movies. As it turns out, they didn't actually have any understanding of the films, and quite often expressed it with "well I think there's a meaning here, but I can't figure it out." Instead they make comments on how pretty Keanu is and how knows just how to sit up perfectly (and they're not being sarcastic!) It's actually quite astonishing how stupid these guys really are! (Not that I'm that swift - I just realised that Neo is an anagram for One. Sometimes I just can't see the obvious because I'm too busy looking at the big picture) I just cannot accept "I didn't get it, therefore it sucks" as a justifable opinion. Although I have to admit that once I've decided I don't like a movie, it gets increasingly difficult to remember exactly why.......like Darren Aronofsky the "genius" behind Pi and Requiem For A Dream . I dislike both of his films, who knows why? Candice says he's a schmarmy cheese-dick, and that's enough for me!
And in other useless but necessary information, Keanu's next three roles are a detective in Constantine, an undercover cop in A Scanner Darkly (dir. Richard frickin' Linklater) and a disgruntled cop in Spike Lee's The Night Watchman. Methinks he has a bad case of movie-role-tourettes. At least he's got a nice bod!
