Keanuthon

6:33pm – “Providence,” 1991

We’re in college! Is Keanu here in college? Is this his one-and-only college movie? Is he friends with this geekboy who knows all about Sylvia Plath?

I think we are about to eat our words in the form of crow if Keanu should debunk our high school-law school theory.

This Brian Goldman guy (the main character and most likely a Jewish man) tells the roommate of the girl he is helping with her paper that he is “sort of” in the class. My guess is that he is actually not in college but goes to the classes just to pick up on the women and then, most likely, murder them. It reminds me of that crazy snuff film movie that Matt and I watched: “Thesis.”

This movie was produced by USC film students, but curiously it is based on college students at Brown in, get this, Providence, Rhode Island. Now my question is, why are students at USC making film about Brown students? Stick that in your pipe and ponder it!

“Thanks for breakfast” before he rides off on a motorcycle. Definitely not seeming to be a college student (presence of the motorcycle would belie that he is a Brown student, at least a current Brown student) – the dream deferred another day.

Our lead has been found out as one of those 36 year-old high school students, trying to go to Brown. Accused of trying to “get something for free” – he is found out (or confesses to his Burl Ivesian teacher. Where, oh, where is that big rock candy mountain?)! Then he is accused of being an “education stealer,” when all he wants is to be allowed to love poetry and tape crossword pictures to his chest – what kind of providence is this?

Our female lead could be a quarterback punk, she does seem to have the shoulders for it, or at least the shoulderpads for it.

Sassy time.

Ah. Beat poetry (with a desk lamp). Is this a drum circle? But with poetry?

I was born in Kansas and raised Humiliation. Think that is anywhere close to Chagrin Falls?

In how many movies does Keanu play or refer to a sport? (so I guess we will have to answer this question later)

Another question to ponder: in how many movies does Keanu share his other two passions of motorcycle riding and music?
