[WilliamPitt]

The TV told me so.

Discuss.

[Fenris]

2. Well, that probably prevented all three movies from being bad.

With Keanu only 2 and 3 really suck.

4. As Will Himself Said in the Wired Interview:

"I would have messed it up."

And he would have. Keanu was much better for that role -- in the first one, it required mostly standing around and looking confused.

"Men in Black" a.k.a. WORST. SONG. EVER. popping into my head!?!??!?!?!?!? thanks Will, thanks a lot!

6. Instead of "Whoa-oa!", we could have had:

'This is some biz-ZARRE shit, man. Least you gotta brother in charge up here.'
