…the movie may not please everyone, however it will be great entertainment watching, guaranteed. Give It A Chance. There will be something to learn from it, and then everyone will be back on the discussion boards right after.

I’m all for loving the man myself, as I know many of you do. Because you know why, it feels a whole lot better than taking the other route of bashing.

Finally, Keanu is more than just a shell for ‘eye candy’ you know,or for ‘googling’ your eyes at, (though there is that appeal that cannot be missed) he does have heart, he has a family, he pays bills like everyone else, he gives to charity (because of his sister).

He is not a machine, nor is he a robot, please have some respect. He is very sensitive and deep (this has been stated in more places that I can count) and he hurts just like everyone else does. He’s living his life. If you are a supporter, be there for him…if not, then don’t.

Just here sharing the love for the “KMan”. Until then, Caio!

Thank you for having me post here, Mr. Jay.

Many Blessings to All,
Ally.

It may have been over 50 years, but TDTESS still lives and breathes, a lot of people have invested in this thing over the decades. It may not like being remade..

Release has been pushed back, which might be a good sign. Script is going to be rewritten (may or may not be a good thing). For my .02 worth, Keanu will do fine in Michael’s shoes (similar acting styles – neither of these men were/are bad actors, they just take watching).

However.. Keanu isn’t alone in this thing – unless everyone involved is pulling in the same direction – and the studio gets behind it, I don’t plan to hold my breath :(
