Re: The BORG view of Keanu
true, don john isn't the only flat character in the play... no matter how
much i enjoy watching robert sean leonard, i still just /hate/ claudio.
what a jerk. and kate beckinsale... well, she does do a good job of not
making hero look too wussy. but i can only like those characters if i see
them as foils for beatrice and benedick- and now i'm getting way off topic.
keanu might suck sometimes, but i don't think much ado is a good example. i
usually try to stick up for him in anti-keanu bashing fests- not that i like
him all that much, but i don't see much reason to hate the guy. now,
heather graham, that could be another story...
