I haven't seen John Wick 4 yet but I think based on the first 3 (which seem to take place in the span of like a week) he's probably just loving exhausted

A couple days ago I got a night off from parenting and proceeded to get high as balls and watch John Wick 4.

Hot take: I think John Wick might actually be supposed to have some sort of mental handicap? He speaks very little, appears to be just barely keeping up with conversation when he does, and all his quips are him saying something like "NOT REALLY" or "YEAH" or "MAYBE NOT" and there's a dramatic music sting as though he had just dropped the most badass line in history. This interpretation of the character did not cross my mind in any of the previous three but it seemed to actually make the most sense for this one??? Maybe it was just the weed I dunno

It's called "not having a lot of range of an actor" but I very much support getting high and thinking everything in a movie is intentional. You get an interesting read on stuff.

Last time I did that was the game Wanted:Dead. I think that the character is really aloof and just trying to get through her day as quickly as possible, though people tell me its just bad acting.

I mean, if he were giving really bad readings of the same kind of dialogue as everyone else maybe. The writing is different. They all talk like they're in a cheesy movie; John Wick talks like he's barely present.

JW4 is supposed to be Keanu's last one even if they keep making side stories material. But they could always bring him back for prequels and just pretend he doesn't look older than he was in the first one

That "Not Really" is actually pretty good haha.

Looking at this scene again it reminds me of Arnold movies, where great actors are all acting "around" Arnold, another actor who had presence but didn't have range. That's only in part though. Arnold at least seemed like he was trying to respond to his surroundings. Keanu's acting in this scene reminds me of old videogame voice acting where they recorded all the lines out of order and with zero context.

keanu looks like he's responding to his surroundings (a bright green room and a shitload of cameras and wires)

I somehow heard nothing by lin Manuel Miranda until I got blazed and watched Hamilton at the beginning of the pandemic. (I mean I absolutely heard Hamilton songs in the background but I wasn't interested enough to pay attention to who was singing at the time)

Anyway. This meant I spent the first half of Hamilton thinking "wow. Lin Manuel Miranda is doing an amazing job of conveying the young Hamilton's brash inexperience by sucking rear end at singing. I can't wait for the big coming of age musical number where he'll start to use his real singing voice and demonstrate why he's so famous."

Then the second half I spent thinking "Jesus Christ this man sucks at singing"

good. I think the entire cinematic wickiverse has run it's course. I enjoyed it well enough but the 4th one really stretched my ability to handle extreme doom eternalification and don't think I could handle amping it up even more.

they should just do something new because clearly they have good action and shooting cinematography chops overall, there's about a zillion plots you could do with the shoot 'em up genre that isn't bogged down by cinematic wickiverse lore about hotels and high tables and bloodbonds and every single hobo in nyc being an elite assassin
