I kind of liked Cloud Atlas when I saw it 😬

i think my favorite part (besides uh gina gershon and jennifer tilly) is that they made it as an audition piece in order to be given the green light to do the matrix, since they were still relatively unknown and no one wanted to just give them a gajillion dollars for the matrix. and then they went and put keanu reeves -- who is now golden and beloved but at the time was constantly and instantly derided as wooden and terribly 1-dimensional. I think he'd just come off johnny mnemonic or devil's advocate, neither of which really helped the argument that he wasn't actually made out of wood and hope.

his career is Theodore Ted Logan, Johnny Utah, Neo, and John Wick, with an honorary mention to Jack Traven of Speed.

Three of those were very popular movie franchises though. He was also in Van Zandt’s My Own Private Idaho which, while not a blockbuster; was critically acclaimed and both Keanu and Phoenix were thought of as serious actors as a result. I would say his career is probably comparable to other actors from the same time, a bit below Di Caprio, Pitt or Depp but a bit above Ethan Hawk or John Cusack or Christian Slater. His best career comp would probably be Mark Wahlberg in that Marky Mark can only play slightly different versions of himself. I think Reeves actually has more range but Wahlberg has chosen better roles.

I guess what I am saying is that Keanu Reeves had a fairly respectable career. The wooden acting thing was probably a bit unfairly applied.

I loved the original movie, but that first sequel was one of the most boring movies I ever saw in the cinema. It just hadno redeeming qualities. I started watching the third on TV but never made it through so I hope they just forget about 2 and three for resurrection cause that trailer actually got me interested
 
Disney has now announced that the rest of the fills coming out in 2021 will debut exclusively in theaters. There will no longer debut on Disney Plus at the same time, but rather 45 days later.

This decision likely has less to do with COVID and current conditions than it does to do with the lawsuit brought on by Black Widow's star Scarlett Johansson over Black Widow being released simultaneously on Disney + as in theaters directly impacting her salary.

This honestly bums me out, as I hate theaters and have always hated theaters... or rather the behaviour of some of the people that inevitably end up at them... The whole "Watch it at home!" thing was awesome during the pandemic. For some movies I don't even mind paying theater prices just to get to stay home but not have to wait three months and be out of the loop from all my friends who did go to the theater.
