I SEE DEAD PEOPLE
Keanu claims he has a Sixth Sense
Exclusive By John Millar
IN an eerie echo of movie The Sixth Sense, Keanu Reeves says he can 'see dead people'. The Hollywood star revealed his ghostly experiences in a remarkable interview about his new supernatural thriller, Constantine. When we meet in Los Angeles for the launch of the movie, Keanu tells me he has seen ghosts on at least two occasions. As he notices I'm goggle-eyed, he asks where I'm from - and, when I say Scotland, he laughs and says: 'My God, man, that's full of ghosts! You gotta walk on the moors at a certain time.' Maybe the rest of us are just not as sensitive as Keanu, who details two vivid examples. Once, he was lunching with a friend in Austin, Texas, looked round and saw a ghost appear behind him.

Bill- "Excellent!"
His popularity is beyond comprehension. Who likes him? Who thinks he has any talent? Anyone?
I see dead people too! In fact yesterday Casablanca was on and I saw Humphrey Bogart
He should spend less time seeing dead people and more time reading scripts before he signs on.
Did he see his Career?
I watched Point Break this weekend(I'm not sure why). My wife and I were lying in bed laughing at how bad of an actor he is. I mean he was really bad. Funny bad. Its like there is always a Ted from BnTExAdv behind all his characters.
While not bad to look at, his work stinks - right up there with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Well, he does have a look about him that some females find attractive but I can't help but think I'd have a deeper conversation with a box of Hamburger Helper.
"As he notices I'm goggle-eyed, he asks where I'm from."
'I work for Google. We all wear googles' I answered, putting him at ease.
Laugh if you want but I've like most of his movies. Also, I can't remember him ever making a political statement which is to his credit.
I don't think he can articulate a friendly greeting much less a political statement. The guy has trouble conveying basic human interactions like 'Hello' 'How are you?' and the like. :-) Though he was good in Parenthood and the Bill and Ted films where he fit.
William Hurt or Keanu Reaves?
It would be awfully hard to beat Hurt.
Bill: George Washington: the father of our country.
Ted: Also born on President's Day.
Bill: The dollar bill guy.
Ted: Hey, did you ever make a mushroom out of his head--?
Bill: Ted?
Ted: What?
Bill: Alaska.
Ted: Oh yeah.
Ted: Had wooden teeth, chased Moby Dick!
Bill: That's Captain Ahab, dude...
I'm with you. While I find his romantic comedy work to be beyond lame, I like his action/sci fi flicks. I just saw "Constantine" and I really enjoyed it despite the theological problems.
The guy is also extremely generous to the people he works with and he's a sweetie for the way he's taking care of his terminally ill sister. Plus, he's hot.
THe difference I suppose is that Reaves is a mediocre actor, where as Hurt is top notch.
Reaves is getting better though. Acting (like most things)is a combination of talent and skill. Talent you can't do much about, you have it or not. But you can improve a skill if you keep practicing. Reaves has had a lot of practice, so it's only natural he'd improve.
