kermode looks like val kilmer

So it wouldn't be possible for an alien who knows so much about our world to speak with proper inflection?

For Christ's sake, the "audio preview" feature of YouTube speaks with better inflection than Keanu did in this movie.

christopher reeve would have been more life-like than keanu reeves

@BigBoss7777777 Keanu is a really bad actor. Comparing him to Christian Bale is like comparing apples to oranges. The fact that Keanu has had such a longevity in his career is beyond me. The Matrix was Keanu's only decent performance.

@eveningtsar Yes. Hayden Christensen.

Is there a worse actor out there than Keanununu Reeves?

[CrippleCrowx]

[julespec]

Kermode is the spitting image of Bryan Singer.

@Deavi783 Starman? When I read your post I experienced this mental thwack of deja vu and had to stop an think for a minute. Haven't seen that movie since I was a wee nipper. Gaahhh!! It's all coming back...
