Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo!

How does this guy keep getting work?

Fucking Reeves and Fuclking Hollywood.

Is it too late to convince Korea to launch bombs at them?

That's as close to a nightmare casting as I can imagine, no they just have to go find someequally pathetic bad female actress to play Faye and some washed up old actor whose best years are long behind him to play Jet and we can all bask in the misery of Hollywood.

Fucking Keanu Reeves really.

Is this going to be the kind of thing that you'll only enjoy if you're into Japanese animation?

No. It's going to be the kind of thing that you'll only enjoy if you've had a lobotomy.

I refuse this and its entire existence

Because people go and see his movies.

He's a terrible actor but I dug A Scanner Darkly, River's Edge, Point Break, Speed and the Bill & Ted flicks are gold.
