Thanks to STH, I was lucky enough to get to go to the WB chat yesterday with Francis Lawrence and Keanu. I didn't get any questions in (although the things submitted were eventually asked by other people, so I got answers, just not the thrill of seeing my name on screen)
Keanu was in typical form, with a couple of one word answers that still made me smile.
Imma says: to keanu: how do you relate to supernatural matters?Keanu: With wonder.

firestar311 says: Keanu, I am currently a senior at Cincinnati's School for Creative and Performing Arts as a Drama major, and i wondered what made you want to become an actor?Keanu: Joy.
There's a transcript over at the Hellforum for those interested.

Wow, it looks like everybody got onto that chat! at least in theory... *wink* Now, I could never have done it with my Mac anyway, so I'm not jealous.
And the questions (which I'm sure they culled) were actually pretty decent!
Posted by: nudel on February 18, 2005 12:32 PMI had a question answered - I nearly fainted when I saw my name appear on the screen. I only asked one question about ten minutes before the chat began and it got picked. Francis gave an answer and he said 'ditto'. "smile".

Saw the movie today and I was blown away. Its NOT like any other movie & I was not born yesterday so I've seen a whole lotta movies. Can't wait to see it tomorrow, & I really can't wait to have it on DVD! This movie will remain a classic for those who appreciate the genre. I expect there will be a lot of copycatting.... Keanu's performance as Constantine was perfectly INSPIRED (I have read the entire Hellblazer collection) and the rest of the cast were brilliant as well.
Glad to hear you say that, PNJ, because I have been developing an ulcer today reading all the reviews...just awful...possibly worse than for Revolutions, my other baby that was trashed by the critics. Niobe has sent me some links to good reviews, but even they can't resist knocking the k-man.
*sigh*
Going after work tonight with two faithful friends, who put up with a lot of Keanu for my sake...
Posted by: nudel on February 18, 2005 01:41 PMI'll be putting up an official reaction/discussion entry in a little bit. Parsi, I'd like to feature your comment in it.
Posted by: krix on February 18, 2005 01:46 PMMy local paper gave the movie a good review (3 1/2 out of 4 stars). But my favorite comment was that the reviewer said he liked Keanu the best out of all the cast! That brought a smile to my face and to my heart! :-)
Posted by: Lisa on February 18, 2005 02:41 PMJust like I watch very little tv, or listen to broadcast radio, I also don't read many movie reviews. It interferes with my movie going experience & I have often wondered if we even saw the same movie. When you choose to regularly break new ground, like Keanu does, you are gonna suffer the ignorance of people that just want the same old thing. I would not trade his filmography for anyones.
Anyways, don't sweat any bad reviews guys.
yes, he was very expressive, informative, humorous... ironically, very Keanu! ;-)
