Something worthy of a Sad Keanu →
Obviously there’s some sort of Hollywood machination here that thinks this is a good idea. Clearly it’s about the money, and not preserving one of the best action movies ever made. I’m not jumping on the bandwagon that Point Break should be considered “sacred” by any means, but this really seems like lazy filmmaking.
Why “reboot” a movie like Point...

For the new visitors
A confession - Every so often I’ll hit tumblr to find a fun little nugget to snack on, and I rarely actually “follow” anyone. Today that has changed. I think the more I open up and am aware that I’m being more transparent, the more I can see changes in my life.
