I'm always impressed at how smart he is. He seems very aware of the world, and such a nice guy to boot.

And well-versed in classical philosophy.

Everyone and their dog knows platos allegory of the cave

Today I learned!

My dog still has some way to go though. He is usually not very impressed unless it has something to eat in it.

My dog only knows allegory of the treats

They forget how it ends, though.

Keanu must be one of the easiest to deep fake due to his very limited acting range.

What is also scary is how much money shit like John Wick can rake in.

How is that scary? It's just entertainment at scale.

The world would be supremely boring if everyone agreed on everything. Each to their own!

Personally I loved the Wick films. I'm watching it for a couple of hours of boom boom pow dopamine. I'll read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations or whatever would be a more justified use my time after the film :P

What's wrong with JW? Sure, they're mindless fun action flicks, but that's ok? Most of the population is crying out for escapism most of the time.

Meh. John Wick is fun. People enjoy fun. Who'd have guessed?

Not one for action movies?
