Here's the deal. I JUST got broadband internet in December (I know, sad) so for years, if I wanted to watch a trailer or video clip I had to find a way to download it because my connection couldn't handle the stream. Because of that I have various clips scatted all over my hard drive in folders called things like "clips", "stuff2sort", and "misc junk". So I decided to clean up my drive because a) I need the space & b) the old Gateway is probably not long for this world. I decided to start uploading things to YouTube.com because it's free, it makes it easy to share/embed clips and when I looked at what was available when I searched YouTube for 'Keanu', the pickins were pretty slim, and had a lot of parody stuff.

I tossed the Action! clip up there because it was handy to include in the entry, and I wanted to see if the player would work here on the blog. It didn't occur to me to link or publicize the other clips I put up just yet because there was no context. Anyway, I see now that some of the Dogstar clips have gotten some attention on other sites which is fine by me, and I just want to go ahead and link my YouTube profile for anyone that wants to check it out. This morning I added clips from an old (circa Matrix promo) Tonight Show interview that I THINK may have come from Keanu.org, which doesn't seem to be updated any longer so I hope there's no problem, I'm probably going to go ahead and add keanu.org to the description in the clips just in case. Anyway, there are 10 parts, start here. Check my videos for the rest.

*update:I got DMCA'd on the Leno clips, so they're gone from YouTube.
Boo.

I have some other odds and ends that I will put up as well, mostly entertainment show footage and such.

Now, because I am a HIGHLY DISORGANIZED PERSON, I really don't know where most of this crap came from. The only thing I have that I won't be uploading are becky clips that I know Keanuette filmed herself, and I hope that maybe she'll put those up on her profile, which already has the Walk of Fame footage if you haven't seen it yet.

I've also been contacted by some of the other sites about hosting the clips on their site and what I think I'm going to do is toward the end of the month, when I know a few big downloads won't make me exceed my bandwidth, I will put the originals in a protected directory and give the site owners access to download them and put them on their sites. So if anyone feels ownership of any of the clips, they should let me know if they don't want them out there. I realize that some of the sites have the videos in a premium access subscription part of the site and frankly, I understand that it costs bandwidth to serve files this size. However, I also understand that some folks went to the trouble of making these clips for the fans and may have a problem with their work seemingly used for someone else's "profit", which is why I want to give anyone a chance to claim these clips.

Again, I'll repeat that I really can't remember where I got some of this stuff, so if you see a clip in my videos and feel that it's YOURS, I'll happily credit you for making it, or take it down if you're fussy that way.

I'd also like to ask anyone that has clips to think about creating a YouTube profile and sharing what they have. Tag it with 'Keanu' and leave a link in the comments so others can see. Let's create an archive that's not full of stuff that mocks the man, but instead lets others see what we see.

Finally, in the extended entry, I give you my favorite non-Keanu thing EVER found on YouTube....

This song will be stuck in your head FOREVER.
