Keanu Reeves, Movie Star: "Woah!"

Keanu Reeves, Movie Star: "Woah!"

Sit down, Keanu. I know you are easily excitable. Yes, I see your keys. They are indeed shiny. Now sit down. No, I don't want a pie. Thanks though. You are a great guy, a big star. Now SIT DOWN.

Okay. Are you ready for this, Keanu my friend? Good. There is an interesting factoid about your industry over on Player 2 Player dot Net. You'll have to scroll down a bit to read it, as it is the second story. Second. After one. No, that is story number three. No, I don't have a dog you can play with.

Settle down. Listen. STOP LOOKING AT YOUR KEYS. Okay. I'll read it for you, tell you the relevant information. Keanu? Listen to me. According to that factoid, there was $9.4 billion in video game hardware sales last year. KEANU! Give me those damn keys. Okay. Sit still.

Compare that with the $8.4 billion that Hollywood, your industry, pulled in by making movies last year. And that was a record year for Hollywood. Doesn't that seem odd to you Keanu? That video game hardware would make more than the entire movie industry?

Geez, don't stand on your chair!

I give up.
