Nobody wants to hear your opinion. They just want to hear their own opinion coming out of your mouth.

Is it that hard to have one thread without it turning political?
Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Keanu Reeves??!! Are you kidding me?? Every character he plays is and sounds exactly the same. Lumping him together with Donald Sutherland is a simple insult.

And I have to agree with one. Why did politics have to be entered?? Doesn't that have a home in another forum?

Keanu may technically be Canadian but I've never thought of him as such. He wasn't born here, and neither of his parents are from here. But he grew up here and identifies as Canadian so whatever. He'd definitely go down as one of the more successful Canadian actors...and while I've enjoyed him in certain roles, I've never thought of him as a great actor either.

What makes a great actor? In my mind, one you enjoy watching. So I would add Keanu to that list, and William Shatner too. Shatner is funny - he makes me laugh. He pokes fun at himself, at everyone. He's campy, he's kitsch. And he's very good at marketing himself.

Ryan Reynolds, Michael J. Fox. We've sent a lot of good actors down to Hollywood.
