are you arguing for or against? I just couldn't buy Reeves as a former football star turned undercover agent.

 

Special Agent Johnny Utah....

Canoe is pretty terrible.

That movie is similar to a train wreck. Yeah I know it's going to be ugly, but I am just drawn to watch it.

I am always disappointed when I finally turn it off.

 

I loved him in the titular role of Pinocchio.

I keed, I keed, but he actually made a decent turn in Kenneth Brannagh's Much Ado About Nothing. Of course, the villain of that piece is pretty wooden anyway.

 

I dunno... he played it more wooden than it may have called for. But someone had to temper Keaton's acting...

 

Is it just me, or has there been more frequent, and longer lasting, Woot Offs lately?
Not that I'm complainin'....except for lack of moolah to get some great deals...

 

It's funny how tastes differ. I've always thought that his role in Much Ado was his absolute worst ever. It doesn't help that Much Ado is one of my favorite Shakespearean plays.

It's been years since I saw that film, but I seem to remember he seemed brain dead/ heavily sedated with a touch of California surfer tossed in. Basically, he was a heavily sedated Ted.

 

Ah, Keanu Reeves....if the script has the words "running behind a bus" in it somewhere, Keanu is in the top three candidates for the role....

 

I might be a bit biased, Brannagh is probably my all-time favorite director... especially for the Bard. Much Ado is my favorite Shakespearean play, and movie. I loved Keaton's performance, too. He pulled off the absurdity with aplomb. Since Keanu's roll is, on the whole, sort of secondary to the rest of the story action, I kind of liked Reeve's brain-dead acting. He kind of embodied the "Nothing" while everybody else was "Much Ado"-ing.

Like I said, though, I tend to be an apologist for this particular film.

Plus, I mean, Keanu probably knew Shakespeare, so there's a good chance the roll was written for him.

 

This is funny. I'm a fan of Branagh as well. Much Ado was an excellent film, with the exception of Reeves. I also liked Branagh's Henry V. I've only seen parts of his Hamlet. It was okay, but the 19th century setting just didn't work for me.

 

Much Ado...was probably the first Shakespear movie I didn't fall asleep in at school...It was just too funny!

This will be a stressful week. I write my CMA entrance exam Thursday morning. I am getting tutored tonight and tomorrow night to understand those few major topics in financial accounting that I can't seem to grasp. Thursday's exam has only been 5.5 years in the making, so I hope I pass! I don't want to make it 6.5 years of prep for it. To top it off I have a 3-day work week in which I get to rush and do about 1 weeks worth of work. After this week I am home free and can actually enjoy my life again (celebrating with going to the opera on the 22nd). Also me bro has honed up my rolls blades, one very well, and sent me some Vitos soap to try...Here's hoping Canada Post gets it to me in a timely fashion.

 

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo,
Or dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.

 

man, I hate when I have to poop at work

 

Perhaps you need this.

 

Okay, this just might have to go in the queue... I see that it is available for streaming. It is obviously a special effects EXTRAVAGANZA!

Warning: This trailer shows a girl in a bra. But seriously, if that's the most offensive thing about this video to you, you are a far better person than I.

 

LOL, been awhile since I'd read those, always a good laugh!

 

I love the quote: "this movie has to be seen to be believed"

 

Think of it this way:

YOU'RE GETTING PAID TO POOP!

*unrelated note--I keep forgetting that my two smilies are "across the street" and not on the list here. ​

 

I posted something outside of HYD! I'm kind of scared. It's been so long.
