My sister bought me a 3D-printed "Sad Keanu" for Christmas last year... it's one of my favorite possessions.

Omg where can I buy one
 
I was wondering when the monthly GAF Ode to Keanu thread was going to pop up.

Just saw John Wick two weeks ago. It was awesome. The character was made for him.
 
Him and Viggo Mortensen are probably my favourite actors off-screen, they just both seem like great, down to earth people.
 
I was just watching Parenthood and Dracula two days ago. I couldn't imagine how he got gigs back then, he was awful. Then I watched 47 Ronin just last night, and remembered how thankful I am that he did get those gigs and developed. It doesn't seem like he's wasted his opportunities, and has a genuine appreciation for what he has in life.
 
There's also an awesome story about him stopping for a random person broken down on the side of the road, staying with her for an hour or two, and paying for the tow truck and the car repair bill because she couldn't

There are quite of few stories like that about Reeves. Dude is just awesome.
 
Keanu is pretty inspiring. The amount of terrible tragedies he's dealt with, and how he goes on living his life despite them, is really inspiring. He just seems like a really great person too. Kind of crazy how he's not more bitter.

That was Octavia Spencer wasn't it? She said in the "Snowpiercer" doco that back when she was a nobody, her car broke down and no one would help her except one guy, who turned out to be Keanu. He pushed her car on his own until others saw Keanu pushing the car so they started helping him helped her. Because of this she'd always go see his film as a reminder to herself of that good deed.
 
I love being reminded how awesome Keanu is. I still reckon GAF should swear him in as patron saint of OT - we can all agree that he is a great human being.
 
He's a fucking awesome guy....and I watched John Wick last week... I enjoyed it so much. It's nice to see a guy you admire as a person so much and then also enjoy his work.

He's the guy I want to succeed, I feel sad when I see a shitty film with him so I was happy with John Wick.
 
I kind of feel like if I were to ever get wealthy, Id go about it this way. Like Id still keep some money and be rich, but also Id just randomly do nice deeds with it and help people out
 
Keanu is one of my favorite actors. It's really encouraging there's such a nice guy in Hollywood. Funny I'm going to see John Wick in about an hour.

This is amazing where did she get it?

I even think he is a great actor.

I genuinely think so too. He may not be great in some roles, but if he fits the role he can be great. See: Bill & Ted, River's Edge, The Matrix and Speed for some. They may not be great art, but he's a big part of why these films work.
 
Love Keanu, he seems like a truly great person.

And I love his choice in motorcycles, I have my father in law's 78 Norton Commando waiting to be rebuilt, and I've seen Keanu has at least one of the same model.

The Replacements is one of my all-time faves. Point Break is another one I never grow tired of watching.

It's amazing that someone could earn so much while being so terrible at their job. Props to him on being so charitable though.

he was good in devil's advocate. i sincerely believe that a decent actor resides in the shell of keanu reeves.

i love him.
 
the special effects people who will never experience a lull in their careers due to the prestige of having Matrix on their resumes, get a cool million each.

the stunt people who probably cannot find work in the industry today because they are considered too great an insurance risk due to age, got a motorcycle that they've probably long since sold or are using to drive to their rent-a-security guard jobs.

Who needed the million more
 
I genuinely want to see his film do well at the box office. John Wick was so good, and Keanu seems like a really good person. Saw it twice in theatres here and recommended it to everyone we know. I've done my part. Bring on the blu-ray.

This might be the most deluded thinking I've ever seen.
