these people are pseudos ... they don't watch the movies ... they don't play the games ... they don't listen to the music ... they don't love what they do ... they became journalist just for the illusion of reach, power and influence ... they disgust me deeply ... but what's even worse ... it's now 2-3 whole generations of these people so diligently documenting themselves accomplishing so little
'...that's right. That's what you should do right now..." He said it with such calm authority and at the same time, made it sound funny. I wonder how he handles drunk, annoying people. I'd like to ask him.
Back during the time when if you wanted to know what was going to be on TV you turned to channel 2 and waited for the listing for the next 2-3 hours scrolled to the channel you wanted, the channel would play celebrity trivia on the audio. One that I remember hearing a lot was that at one point in his career Keanu Reeves feared the epitaph on his gravestone would only read "He played Ted".
To be fair. How do you screw that up? If I'm going to do an interview with an actor regarding a beloved multi decade franchise, I'm going to research before the interview
Yeah, definitely closer to late game. Early game Johnny would have called him a poser, cursed him out for a solid 60 seconds, and then segued into a rant about how everything sucks for a solid 3 minutes.
Update: I googled this to see...and no they haven't...disturbingly the top link for the google search was "Guide for differentiating Laurence Fishburne and Samuel L. Jackson in film." on IMDB....someone actually made a list of films for I hope to god a sarcastic guide on how to tell them apart.
I don't get it. They don't even look alike. And Samuel is almost 15 years older, and is like 5 shades darker than Laurence. Like the differences in their appearance isn't subtle.
Yeah I have a harder time with Sidney Poitier and Lawrence Fishburne... not because they look alike (they don't), but because both their names seem "fancy" to me, so I mix them up. Like their names are both "distinguished classically-trained actor", if you get what I mean, even though neither was classically-trained and just worked their butts off to learn acting themselves.
I know this is a joke & whatnot - but I think the coolest thing about Keanu is that SURE, he could TOTALLY be mean if he wanted to. He chooses not to. Keanu wakes up each day & decides he's going to be kind, decent, humble, patient. That's why we love him. It's a deliberate, & not always easy choice, & he shows us how we could all be (aside from the God-level sexual magnetism, hot damn he's a handsome man)
Its what I try everyday and I can tell you... its not easy. Fuck its even hard at times but sticking to it is the best thing to do. It usually gives me energy and rarely only costs me energy. It's also has to do alot about bounderies. I can have a good talk with a homeless man but im not actively going to visit every last one of em. Just taking life as it comes and be kind to whoever I may meet.
Stop building famous peple to role models. He is kot your father, he is not your teacher, he is not your country savior. He is a good actor and probably a decent man. Stop living in a dream.
Nah, this ain't that. We're allowed to appreciate someone who behaves decently in a cesspool like Hollywood where so often the worst people thrive. We're allowed to appreciate that. In fact, it's healthy to appreciate that. It makes it more obvious that the ones who fail the basic decency test have no excuse.
Stop being mad at such a trivial thing. Why are role models limited to a parent or teacher? No one is going to look up to an asshole. Whether or not a celebrity happens to be a dick off screen/in their personal life, (Which Keanu most certainly is not) why is it a bad thing to strive to be a good, kind hearted person. Who you choose to have as your role model isn’t important. How they act and treat others, is.

Poor guy, losing Bill & Ted cred is serious business. He may never recover.

Keanu was still ribbing him, but he was still right to make him embarrassed for his fuck-up!

If you really want to find out, get drunk and go annoy him. I'll wait here and watch from a safe distance.

No thanks. I did my time. 😆

Fake or not - is that supposed to be mean?
marsilies
It's not that mean, which is part of the joke: Keanu Reaves is so nice, this is the meanest he's ever been.
DisUsernameAmsDildos
Part of the joke is that it's the closest Keaunu comes to being mean, he's such a nice guy

I'll be honest, I really considered him more movie star than actor until Silverhand...

For me it was The Devil's Advocate; I went in thinking of him as Ted, and left thinking of him as his own man.

Can't tell if sarcastic by getting it wrong still, but Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan, for the record.

No sarcasm, just remembered it wrong LOL. Thanks for correction

Remember when that reporter mistook Samuel Jackson for Lawrence Fishburne? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/ktla-anchor-apologizes-mistaking-samuel-679048/

I love how much Jackson roasted him over this
DasBeaker
What makes it worse is he IS the entertainment reporter for KTLA.

One of the ones that pops into my head every so often is someone mistaking John Kusack and Kevin Spacy in American beauty

Has anyone ever seen them together? Well, huh ?

Wow...has there never been a film that starred both Samuel Jackson and Lawrence Fishburne?
Like I get that Samuel is a top A lister....but still? not one? I'm racing through my memory banks right now.

It probably doesn't help that in Team America, "Samuel L. Jackson" says Lawrence Fishburne's line from The Matrix, "Stop trying to hit me and hit me!"
hendawg2020
And, whoops, it's spelled Laurence.
LunarEntropy
I used to always make the same mistake, he looks much more like a Bill than a Ted
Renza0
agreed completely
ReturnWinchester
Eh, I disagree but only because I apply their whole names. Bill S. Preston Esquire vs Ted Theodore Logan. Theodore Logan just seems more Keanu to me.

Before typing that you probably should have taken a moment to think "Would Keanu type this?"
