Guess who just got invited to the press junket?
Hint - not cf. He’s an unreliable narrator.

The least you could do is post the new trailer.
Now with more dog.

I thought you only got invited to movies with fighting in it.

Got myself a Gun version.
Stole a page from The Warriors there...

Killer Reputation
Got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? An Oscar? An EGOT, even? All very cool.
But not nearly as cool, at least in our humble opinion, as being so badass onscreen that scientists go as far as to name a group of wildly effective, lab-engineered, fungi-killing molecules after you. That's influence.
Meet: "Keanumycins," a new pesticide invented and named by a team of researchers at the Bio Pilot Plant at Germany's Leibniz-HKI, who published a study on the killer biochemical discovery in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The molecules "kill so efficiently that we named them after Keanu Reeves," German researcher Sebastian Götze, lead author of the study, said in a press release, "because he, too, is extremely deadly in his roles."
Keanumycins
Keanumycins, crafted from bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, target a fungal plant pest dubbed Botrytis cinerea, which causes a gray mold rot that destroys harvests.
Botrytis cinerea infects over 200 fruit and vegetable species, and is also one of many problem fungi that have become increasingly resistant to existing chemical pesticides as well as — perhaps most ominously — pharmaceuticals. (Gulp.)
"Many human-pathogenic fungi are now resistant to antimycotics (antifungal) – partly because they are used in large quantities in agricultural fields," Götze added in the statement.
But on that note, the scientists say that this compound has shown promise in destroying the very concerning human-pathogenic fungus Candida albicans, along with a few others. And because it's bacterial rather than chemical, it's believed to be far more environmentally sound, and meanwhile also hasn't shown any risk of harm to plant or human cells.
Basically, right now, it looks like an all-around win.
Next Time, Pedro
It's worth mentioning that Keanu Reeves isn't the first celebrity to have a natural compound, plant, or critter named after him. There is, for example, a parasitic wasp in South Africa dubbed the Conobregma bradpitti, while an entire genus of genderfluid ferns is named after pop icon Lady Gaga.
Of course, it could be argued that "The Last of Us" star Pedro Pascal might have been the best choice here, but we'll let Keanu have this one. But hopefully, considering the very real threat to humanity that pathogenic fungi might pose soon enough, there will be some more environmentally safe, anti-fungal compounds to name in the future.

I could've saved myself the trouble of reviewing the previous three films by just watching this.
Why did I even bother? Oh right, because I love them. Any excuse to rewatch the John Wick series is acceptable, even more so when it's for work.

Front row balcony (VIP section) at the Kabuki. Maybe a dozen of us press high above the seething masses of the general public.
Here we go…

Ho

Cats!
Biggest and best chapter yet. Literally took the ceiling off choreographic oners. Extreme ultravi. All my fav action stars delivered. So satisfying on every level. Bravo Jonathan Bravo.

Speaking of Oners, have I shown you this examination of Spielberg and the Oner?

That narrator was too snarky for me. And I didn’t feel his comments landed that well. Minute oners aren’t as interesting as fight scene oners. When there’s squibs and explosions, you got to hit your marks and that more impressive. The only oner that really count in this YT vid is Saving Private Ryan.
The JW4 oner not only has exquisitely complex choreo, it has a flame thrower.
A lingering comment about JW4. Be sure to stay for the end credits scene. It’s at the very end and it the perfect exclamation point after the barrage of ultravi.
Note also that both me and my +1 volunteer at concerts and both of us hang ringing in our ears the morning after from all the explosions. It’s loud. From the very beginning to the end, it’s intensity loud.
