Appreciating Reeves by Lisa Alzada Black

Lisa Alzada Black March 4 at 11:33am
Here are some thoughts I quickly wrote up. If you want to post them on a blog great. I think Keanu is great. I'm in the middle of writing a book, should be at work, but oh well. When you get the urge to write, go for it.
Thanks,
Lisa

We all love our heroes. We love action, romance, mystery and intrigue. We become lost in the book or the movie that we are absorbed in at the time, but then reality strikes, the book ends and we are just…us again. Sometimes that special feeling that we gain from the work, stays with us for a day, and sometimes for a week. We’ve all felt that magic. It’s called a catharsis.
Now on the other end of the spectrum is the writer that writes the story. Add to the author the actors who take on the role they are given. The actor must make the characters come to life. How deeply must an actor commit to a character to bring life to it? I believe that actors, who are committed to the craft, actually become the character for a time.
Keanu Reeves is a good example of this. I love Keanu Reeves for the characters he has brought to life. In one article I read about Keanu he was tagged as the ‘most inscrutable actor ever’. The article went on to say that Reeves had been adored, reviled and grudgingly respected. Well…that’s a compliment to his acting in my eyes. Popular sentiment about Keanu seems to mirror whatever character he is most known for at the time. How many actors can you say that about? Not many. Bravo Keanu!!!


Ted Theodore Logan Esq. made me laugh, and at Ted’s expense. After completing that movie and its sequel, Keanu became affectionately known to America as the lame brained surfer dude. Ted was a national icon and Keanu was the vessel by which we adored him.
But then, Ted surprised some of us. With most of us barely noticing, a guy named Jonathan Harker stole Ted’s body. Suddenly Ted was a lawyer, and quiet, and smart. What? Many of us missed this transition because the shift was so great, and if you ask someone who played Jonathan in that Dracula movie, they’ll say – I don’t know.

Then came another transition. The action hero. We were glad to see Neo and Johnny and Jack. We forgot all about Ted, and we didn’t miss Jonathan - it hadn’t dawned on us that the same guy that was Jonathan was also Ted. Well anyway, we couldn’t get enough of our hero and we waited for more action movies to make it on the scene. They did in record numbers. Now Keanu was a hero in all of our minds.
Later more movies came along. Romance blossomed. Keanu played the perfect boyfriend, as only he can, and some of us started to question ourselves as to whether we were settling for less than we deserved. Thank you Keanu.
Then suddenly our hero-boyfriend was gone and in his place was a remote, distant, non-emotional and oddly intelligent alien, Klaatu. Klaatu killed a lot of people, but he finally righted himself in the end - we knew a little of that hero still lingered in our vessel, and we were right. Our vessel though, took some heat for convincing us he was an alien. Some columnists still get Keanu and Klaatu mixed up.
Imagine that. Imagine bringing a character to life and then having people adore you, or berate you, because they think you are him. Where does the actor end and his role begin? Funny question, it sounds wrong any way it is asked. Only the actor himself could tell us that. Maybe he will someday.
I will say this. If anybody ever deserved an Oscar, it’s Keanu Reeves. Thanks Keanu for all that you do.

Photobucket


bram stoker's dracula
Francis Ford Coppola,


i was sitting and debating what movie i should write about in is blog.
i do appoligize for my attendence and being gone for sometime.
i have not viewed a keanu movie in about 3 mnths.
last movie i saw was the lake house at that time,but that is not the movie im blogging about.
till recently i was watching Francis Ford Coppola's bram stokers dracula.
for some reason i always forget keanu reeves is in this film.
keanu reeves plays Jonathan Harker which is Mina Murray's fiance,who happens
to be dracula's love intrest.the make up on Gary Oldman never seems to not amaze me.
the movie begins with Dracula desecrates his chapel while renouncing God, declaring that he will rise from the dead to avenge Elisabeta(wife) with all the powers of darkness.
this is how he become dracula;vampire,nasferatu,blood sucker u get the picture.
the film takes place in 1897; Jonathan Harker is a law clerk who takes over as a client for the Transylvanian Count Dracula from Renfield, who has gone insane.
renfield believes dracula to be his master and will give him eternal life.
dracula discovers a picture of Harker's fiancée Mina,dracula becomes amazed to find that she is the reincarnation of his long dead wife.

Dracula leaves Jonathan to be raped and drained of blood by his brides and sails to England with boxes of his soil.
The soil makes him appear as he once was before he renounced god.
Jonathan Harker does escape to reach a convent where he sends word to mina. durning the time of waiting for him
she was seeing dracula. Dracula later claims mina as a bride.
well i will not continue and give all the details of the film.
I must say the film is visually beautiful.
I suggest to give this movie a view.
well till next time!
-much love-

Fan Sites That Steal From Keanu Reeves in Spanish

Las gracias a la Jewel y a Keanu con el Amor por finalmente dejarme hacen un blog. Debo aquí indicar(advertir) algo. Una de las condiciones a las que estuve de acuerdo no debía usar los nombres de sitios de abanico(admirador) a los cuales me refiero. Todavía siento no debería hacer ninguna diferencia pero bien no llamaré los sitios de admirador.

Soy un admirador afectado(preocupado) y compadre de Sr. Keanu Reeves. Soy también alguien que está harto de verlo son arrancados por la gente que usa el dinero de su abanico(admirador) y el amor del admirador durante Nuevas vísperas. Durante los 2 o 3 meses pasados he estado frecuentando estas páginas donde ellos fijan todo aquellos los tiros ridículos paparazzi de Nuevas vísperas. Cuadros donde él obviamente no quiere ser fotografiado.
Photobucket

¡o peor las condiciones son sumamente peligrosas! ¡Conduzco este camino particular cuándo visito la familia en Hollywood el área y sobre todo estos días este camino es sumamente peligroso! Es asustadizo saber que hay paparazzi la busca de famosos en vez de peligros del camino. Entiendo que a veces ellos realmente consiguen un photo bueno y las Nuevas vísperas aún pueden posar durante un segundo, de tanto en tanto. Aquellos no son malos. Hay una línea muy delgada(fina) sobre lo que debería ser fijado y que no debería. Tal vez soy solo en lo que pienso, pero lo que quiero saber(conocer) es que tipo de admirador disfruta viendo que las Nuevas vísperas se metieron a tiempo después vez tras vez? ¿Tengo que preguntar, aún realizan(comprenden) ellos qué pasa? Significo(¡pienso) que ellos comentan por fijando babeando smileys y el corazón mira smileys!

Como ellos solamente(justo) no pueden verlo.

Son yo el único que siente el dolor del hombre!?

Photobucket

Cómo estas damas como ello si en medio de su toma de una mordedura grande de una hamburguesa jugosa, algún idiota con una cámara que equipó con una lente que puede tomar los cuadros de Marte rompiera un tiro de ellos? ¡Entonces vino a la Internet y lo fijó así todos sus amigos y amados podrían ver! ¡O después de perdición de un amado en medio de su pena, otra vez la cámara que rompe los cuadros del entierro y ellos gritos y penalidad! ¡No debo aquí hacer ondas(olas)! ¡Espere un Infierno de minuto Sí!
¡Debo aquí indicar(advertir) esta porqueria y hablar encima de para alguien que solamente(justo) no puede hacer esto! Lo que encuentro gracioso sobre la situación es que estos admiradores nunca fijarán sus cuadros y se harán sabidos(conocidos).
No realiza estos admiradores que ellos pagan y permiten estos sitios de admirador a Nuevas vísperas de sabueso?
Los anfitriones a estos sitios cobran(cargan) a admiradores de Nuevas vísperas Keanu para ver estos cuadros. Más tarde explicaré por qué uso la palabra " ver ".

Primero ellos recogen el dinero. Un poco de este dinero va al paparazzi. El resto va a un lugar sin revelar. Estoy seguro que podemos adivinar todos aunque. Yo todavía no entendía(calculaba) si esto es paparazzi y tal vez ellos tienen muchas páginas de abanico(admirador) diferentes para varios actores diferentes donde ellos hacen el mismo negocio "Sombrío" o si Sr. Reeves tiene la tantoa suerte para tener unos cuantos
Photobucket


" El pirata " admiradores supuestos! ¿Por qué la palabra " Pirate "? Déjeme decirle!
Ellos recogen el dinero de los admiradores que deciden ver " la galería Secreta ". Entonces ellos cobran(cargan) a admiradores otra vez para calendarios y DVD de los cuadros que deberían estar disponibles a los admiradores ya. ¿Keanu o su familia ve cualquiera de este dinero? ¡Pft! ¡Infierno no! Es para el beneficio del estafador y el beneficio sólo. ¿Llámeme el chiflado pero en mi opinión los admiradores tienen los derechos a los cuadros la primera vez que ellos pagan por ellos? La parte rica es que si cualquier desafío de abanico(admirador) toma un o dos de los cuadros " de la Galería Secreta "
Photobucket

ellos son fuera del círculo de confianza.

Photobucket
Photobucket

Entonces esto es Adios, Arrivederci, goodbye!
Haga ellos recuperan sus sumas de dinero!? ¡Ellos seguro no hacen!
No sé de ningún de usted pero tengo que decir " no es derecho "! ¡¿Puedo ponerme un " Que no es derecho?! "No es Justo!
Photobucket

Estoy seguro que algunos admiradores son confiados y no tienen ni idea como hiriente esto es al actor y a su familia también. Debo aquí dejar a aquellos admiradores saber que ellos hacen daño Nuevas vísperas Keanu y su familia. Ellos roban de él.
¿Keanu no es el tipo de tipo para hacer un apestar él entiende que la gente tiene sus empleos, pero no es ellos suponen ser admiradores? Usted sabe que coloco a esta gente en la misma categoría que aquella persona de Karen Sala. Keanu tuvo que repartir 85,000 dólares para defenderse contra acusaciones. El tribunal concedió 15,000 dólares a Nuevas vísperas, pero Nuevas vísperas que ser la persona que él es dejado esto va. Esto chupa aquella gente aprovecha la gente que es hearted amable y solamente(justo) quiere ser dejada(abandonada) en la paz. ¿Por qué algún abanico(admirador) aprovechar la bondad de Nuevas vísperas Keanu? Si usted es un abanico(admirador) verdadero y usted realmente se preocupa por Nuevas vísperas Keanu bien que ser la parada pagando las páginas de abanico(admirador) que son sin un robo de duda a partir de Nuevas vísperas. La pelota está en su tribunal ahora. ¿Qué va usted a hacer?

Fan Sites That Steal From Keanu Reeves

Thanks to Jewel and To Keanu With Love for finally letting me do a blog. I am here to point something out. One of the conditions I agreed to was not to use the names of fan sites that I am referring to. I still feel it shouldn't make no difference but ok I will not name the fan sites.

I am a concerned fan and compadre of Mr Keanu Reeves. I am also someone who is tired of seeing him get ripped off by people using his fan's money and the fan's love for Reeves. For the past 2 or 3 months I have been frequenting these pages where they post all those ridiculous paparazzi shots of Reeves. Pictures where he obviously does not want to be photographed.
Photobucket

or worse the conditions are extremely dangerous! I drive this particular road when I visit family in the Hollywood area and especially these days this road is extremely dangerous! It is scary to know there are paparazzi looking for celebrities instead of road hazards.
I understand that sometimes they do get a good shot and Reeves may even pose for a second, every now and again. Those are not bad. There is a very thin line on what should be posted and what should not. Maybe I'm alone in what I am thinking but what I want to know is what kind of fan enjoys seeing Reeves intruded on time after time after time? I have to ask, do they even realize what is happening? I mean they comment by posting drooling smileys and heart eyes smileys!

Like they just can't see it.

No Smiley Pictures, Images and Photos
Am I the only one feeling the man's pain!?

How would these ladies like it if in the middle of their taking a big bite of a juicy burger, some fool with a camera that equipped with a lens that can take pictures of Mars snapped a shot of them? Then came to the internet and posted it so all their friends and loved ones could see! Or after losing a loved one in the middle of their grief, again the camera snapping pictures of the funeral and them crying and grieving! I am not here to make waves! Wait a minute Hell Yeah!
I am here to point this crap out and speak up for someone who just can't do that! What I find funny about the situation is that these fans will never post their pictures and make themselves known.


Do these fans not realize they are paying and enabling these fan sites to hound Reeves?


Smiley Money Pictures, Images and Photos


The hosts to these sites charge Keanu Reeves fans to see these pictures. Later I will explain why I use the word "See". First they collect money. Some of this money goes to the paparazzi. The rest goes to an undisclosed place. I'm sure we can all guess though. I still haven't figured out if this is paparazzi and maybe they have a lot of different fan pages for several different actors where they do the same "Shady" business or if Mr Reeves is so lucky to have a few







Photobucket


"Pirate minded" so called fans! Why the word "Pirate"? Let me tell you!

They collect the money from fans who choose to see the "Secret gallery". Then they charge fans again for calendars and dvd of pictures that should be available to the fans already. Does Keanu or his family see any of this money? Pft! Hell no! It's for the scammer's gain and profit only. Call me crazy but in my opinion the fans have the rights to the pictures the first time they pay for them? The rich part is that if any fan dare take one or two of the pictures from "The Secret Gallery" they are out of the circle of trust.

Photobucket

Do they get their monies back!? They sure do not!

Photobucket

I don't know about any of you but I have to say "That ain't right"! Can I get a "That ain't right?!

Photobucket
I am sure that some of the fans are unsuspecting and have no idea how hurtful this is to the actor and to his family too. I am here to let those fans know that they are hurting Keanu Reeves and his family. They are stealing from him.

Keanu is not the type of guy to make a stink he understands that people have their jobs but aren't they suppose to be fans? You know I place these people in the same category as that Karen Salas person. Keanu had to dish out $85,000 to defend himself against accusations. The court awarded Reeves $15,000 but Reeves being the person that he is let it go. It sucks that people take advantage of people who are kind hearted and just want to be left in peace. Why would any fan take advantage of Keanu Reeves kindness? If you are a true fan and you really care about Keanu Reeves well being stop paying fan pages that are without a doubt stealing from Reeves. The ball is in your court now. What are you going to do?
