well, I'm a Keanu fan since Bill and Ted.  I even caught a Dogstar concert one time (at band camp)
  He's no Johnny Depp, but who is?  Matrix I had the requisite paranoia for a P-fan, but 2 and 3 I felt fell short in that dept and contented themselves with excessive ultra-violence - though because of listening to negative buzz, I didn't really give them much attention.  In fact I can't even remember did the good guys win, or in fact much of what happened at all...
a really good movie (I thought) that everybody panned for no good reason was Johnny Mnemonic.  "I want Room Service!"  Every minute of that was great imo.  Plus you get to see that Rollins guy pinned to a wall by a scalpel.
anyway, it's high time he spent some blissful hours with the Pynchon opuses, I think he's earned it...
