Best Reasons EVER for Casting Keanu

The Blur: On the enlightened fuzziness of Keanu Reeves by Dana Stevens (at Slate.com)

She's a lot more philosophical than most critics in this particular essay, but I couldn't agree more that there's a certain "something" about Keanu that makes him perfect for the role in A Scanner Darkly that he was cast in. Whether you've read the novel (as I have) or just love his laid-back style (which I do in some instances), you can follow Dana's logic on why the K-man is perfect.

Of course, she also translates his (Hawaiian) first name as "the coolness". . .and that gives me a most excellent Bill and Ted flashback.
