- In honour of the website's upcoming 3rd anniversary (well ok, it's really just in honour of a friend's suggestion.... but that's a pretty nifty coincidence, eh?) we now have a chat room! This is not instead of the message board, this is in addition to it. So if you prefer the message board, no fears - it's still there. And now we have real-time chat too. So, without further ado... let the chatting begin!
Sunday, September 26, 1999
- Sorry for the lack of major updates lately, but in all honesty it's probably going to continue like this for a while. Anyways, the alerts page was a bit out of date so I updated that and added these 2 Canadian VCR alerts:
- Sat, Oct. 2, 1999 - Speed - 8:00pm ET on TVO
- Sat, Oct. 2, 1999 - River's Edge - 11:05pm ET on Showcase
I'm not sure how accurate this is because TVO is a strange station to be playing Speed, but ClickTV is usually right...
repeats 10/3/99 at 2:24am
Thursday, September 16, 1999
- Just a quick reminder - Action premieres tonight at 9:00pm ET/PT on FOX. Don't forget to watch! For Canadians who don't get FOX, the show will be on GLOBAL, Sunday Sept. 19th at 9:30pm ET. It will be repeated on FOX, Sunday Sept. 19th at 9:30pm as well.
Wednesday, September 1, 1999
- Alright, I finally got around to making those thumbnails.... so you can now see all of Sandy's pictures on the brand spankin' new Snapshots Page. I know that's not too exciting since you've probably seen them all already, but it's new so I'm telling you! The page may take a little while to load since there are quite a few pictures.... I like to read magazines while I wait....
- Happy Birthday tomorrow, Keanu!! And happy celebrating to everyone else.... have a cupcake or something!
Tuesday, August 31, 1999
- Remember when I said Action would be premiering Thursday, Sept. 16th? Well it still is, but according to the new Fall Preview TV Guide that arrived today, "two episodes air back to back this night only, beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT". So it looks like the debut episode with Keanu's cameo might be airing at 9:00pm instead of 9:30pm. Amend those VCR programs!
Monday, August 30, 1999
- Here's an article/cartoon from Entertainment Weekly about The Matrix on DVD. This was scanned and sent in by Danielle, thank you Danielle!
Thursday, August 26, 1999
- One final batch of Sandy pictures:

- and this is the last one... thank you Sandy!
Monday, August 23, 1999
- Yet more pictures from Sandy! (For anyone joining us late, these are pictures that Sandy, a fellow fan, took when she visited the set of The Replacements a few weeks ago. You can read the first post about her adventures here, and there are plenty more follow-ups on the main message board.) Thanks so much for sharing, Sandy!
Saturday, August 21, 1999
- Some more pictures from Sandy. Thank you Sandy! (BTW, I'm sorry about the cheesy text links I keep using here... I do plan to eventually make pretty thumbnails and stick all these great candids on a page of their own... that just takes some time but we wanna see these puppies NOW! Right? )
- with another fan
- with that red haired fan from before
- Getting that Cherry Snowball while holding the pictures Sandy gave him!

- talking to the director
- Ooh! This is a nice one!

- ahem.... picking up some stuff.... yeah, that's it....
- And I now have a new email address. Woohoo! Haven't changed any links on the site yet but if you'd like to contact me, please use emily_@writeme.com and I might actually get your mail!
Friday, August 20, 1999
- We love you Sandy!
- According to KeanuNet, the Matrix action figures should be available around November or December. You can see a picture of said figures here.... they look so good!
- Now this doesn't have very much to do with Keanu... except maybe that he's willing to help out a good cause when he can.... but if you visit The Hunger Site each day and click a little button, food will be donated to hungry people around the world via the United Nations World Food Program. Website sponsors pay for the food, so the donation costs you nothing. C'mon, do a good deed!
- And I'm still not getting all of my mail, so again, if you've emailed me and have not gotten a response that means I did not get your mail. I'll be getting a new email address as soon as I find a good reliable free service that offers forwarding. Any suggestions? I like the ones with nifty names! ;-) But reliable is the key word here... Please try to resend any lost mail if you wish. I really love to hear from you all!
Wednesday, August 18, 1999
- More fantastic pictures from Sandy:
- And we also have some shots from MaryAnn today! Some of them were taken off the 'Smartvision' screen, so aren't that sharp.... but we don't care, right?! Thank you MaryAnn!!
- And hey, if anyone else has snapshots they'd like to share, please feel free to send them along! All submissions are very much appreciated, and can be confidential if you prefer.
Monday, August 16, 1999
- Some more pictures from Sandy... who was nice enough to re-send a couple when my aforementioned email troubles gobbled the little buggers right up. Thank you Sandy!!
Sunday, August 15, 1999
- Yet more Sandy pictures. Ain't this great?!
- {Sigh} It appears my email is slightly busted. Again. I don't know what the problem is, but I seem to not be getting all of my mail. I get some of my mail, maybe even most of my mail, but not all. And I really have no way to tell when I'm missing messages either. So if you've sent me any mail before 9:30pm EDT today (August 15) and haven't yet gotten a response... or if you send me some mail after that and don't get a response for ohhh lets give me 48 hours ;) ...then I didn't get your mail. Please do try to resend if you wish. This is rather frustrating and if it persists, look for a brand new email address on these pages pretty darn soon
Saturday, August 14, 1999
- 3 more pictures from Sandy. Thank you Sandy!
Wednesday, August 11, 1999
- A visitor to the site got to meet Keanu a few days ago, and was nice enough to share her photographic evidence! To read about her encounter, please check out the message board. And here are the pics! (Great big thank you to Sandy for these!!)
- I should also post a link to the nifty new Dogstar website, I suppose. You've probably seen that by now but oh well...
- And a little personal aside here... if you're not Paola in Italy stop reading now! Paola - I got your mail but cannot reply because your mail server and mine apparently do not think we should be friends. Do you maybe have another email address we could try? Sorry 'bout the trouble!
Tuesday, August 3, 1999
- Some more details about that upcoming Matrix DVD are now available at Yahoo. (Thanks Jonell & other nameless person who sent that in!)
- And now for something almost completely off topic.... My inbox went *poof* last Friday. Forgot to mention it in my update Saturday. Whoops! So if you sent anything to emily_@writeme.com before Friday and have not yet gotten a response, that would be why. I think I'd actually answered most of the mail, oddly enough, but if not, please do resend! Thanks!
Saturday, July 31, 1999
- The Matrix on video!
According to Video Store Magazine, The Matrix will be released "on VHS for rental and on DVD Sept. 21 (prebook Sept. 7; Aug. 31 for the DVD). Then, just nine weeks later, in the shortest repricing window in recent memory, Warner on Nov. 23 will bring out a collector's edition VHS version of the title with 26 minutes of extra footage at a $14.95 minimum advertised price. The collector's edition will be available in both pan-and-scan and widescreen versions." For the full story, check out Video Store Magazine. (Thanks Kristina!)
- Congratulations, Keanu!!!
Well it looks like the latest rumour was true. Keanu and his girlfriend are expecting a baby!!! No due-date has been announced. For more details, check out Mr. Showbiz or E! Online.
Sunday, July 25, 1999
- FOX made some more fall schedule announcements last week, and it seems that Action will premiere Thursday Sept. 16 at 9:30pm ET. So mark those calendars and set those VCRs for the big Keanu cameo!
Tuesday, July 6, 1999
- VCR Alert! Keanu will be on Entertainment Tonight, tomorrow (July 7). Looks like the story is about that new TV sitcom in which he has a cameo this fall. (And it looked like a good little segment, so set those VCRs! )
Friday, May 14, 1999
- Updated the alerts.
Friday, April 30, 1999
- Updated the Media Alerts with some new concerts and a VCR Alert - Me & Will on the Sundance Channel!
- There's an auction going on for a "MATRIX Cast-signed Full Size Movie Poster" over at theBroadcaster.com. Just follow that link and choose "Celebrity Memorabilia". There are currently 11 bids, the highest being $205.00. The reserve price has not yet been met. Auction ends May 10 at 6:16pm EST... but if you bid just $1000.00 right now, it's yours ;-) This does appear to be for some sort of charity though.... to quote the website, the Broadcasting Training Program is "a non-profit 501(c)3 organization formed to provide training opportunities to minority college graduates in radio/television news reporting and news management." Hmm....
- According to brandongray.com, Keanu's worth per picture has more than doubled since The Matrix opened. (Woohoo!) To see just what that worth is, you can check out Brandon's Star Power 101 page. Alright, so I could just tell you. $8,094,533. Though I'll admit I did not research just how that figure was calculated....
- A Matrix script! Yup, you can read an early version of the Matrix script right here. (Thanks for posting that link, liv!)
- And this Keanufest bulletin just in from Cheryl:
- Keanufest has over half its guests registered. Come and join us for this unique opportunity to share our mutual interest in all things Keanu. For further details, click here, or for registration form/additional information, contact Cheryl at: believe@bcpl.net.
- And this is very very extremely off topic, but ya know I just hafta say it...... Welcome to the world, Madelaine West!!!
Sunday April 25, 1999
- Updated the Media Alerts. Finally got those new Dogstar tour dates up, and also added a few little mag alerts. Thanks to everyone who contributed to those, and thanks to the person who posted tour dates on the message board while I was nowhere to be found...
- Here's a cute little Keanu caricature from the April 30 issue of Entertainment Weekly. (Thank you, Jonell!!! =;)
- An article on the TV rights to The Matrix. (Thanks, Jonell!)
- A link to lots and lots of Matrix reviews. (Thanks, "Kate"!)
- A video interview with Keanu at LAIFF. It's a Windows Media file. I haven't tried playing it yet, but the little still picture looks nice... (Thank you, Margarete!)
- And here's a link to a nice new Keanu site, run by one of the many new post-Matrix fans =;) ...The Keanu Reeves Galleria.
- Little side note to Nicole: Nicole!!!! Hey!!! =:) Miss ya too! When you get a new e-mail address, write me... 'kay? (Err... well I guess you could still write me even if you're not Nicole... if you really wanted to.... )
Saturday April 17, 1999
- Updated the Media Alerts. There were just so darn many current magazine alerts, and they were getting all jumbled up and hard to find on the page... so... I alphabetized them. Not too exciting, but I think it looks neater. So now the mag alerts are alphabetized and the VCR & Concert Alerts are sorted by date. Just to let ya know. But you're probably just interested in what's new, so here it is:
Dogstar Concert Alert:
- Thurs. May 27, 1999 - 8:00pm - St. Andrews Hall - Detroit, MI.
All ages welcome. Charge-By-Phone #: 248-645-6666. More information available at Ticketmaster.
Canadian VCR Alert:
- Thurs April 29 - Linehan - 9:30am EDT on WTN.
Program Type: Talk Show
From 1997: actors Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron, director Taylor Hackford. (30 min.)
(WTN = Women's Television Network. This is a repeat of that old Linehan promoting Devil's Advocate.)
Magazine Alert:
- Movieline - May issue - Liam Neeson cover
"Hollywood Ink", p.26.... under "This 'n That":- "Keanu Reeves took
a beating with Chain Reaction and the Last Time I Committed Suicide, and
The Devil's Advocate was no barn burner, either. But now, thanks to the
Matrix, there's good buzz on him. Perhaps taking a cue from what football flicks have done for Adam Sandler and James Van Der Beek, Reeves is considering playing the kingpin of a group of misfit jocks who during the 1987 NFL players' strike led the Washington Redskins to an unexpected series of wins in THE REPLACEMENTS..." (Thank you, Nancy!)
- Thurs. May 27, 1999 - 8:00pm - St. Andrews Hall - Detroit, MI.
- Mr. Showbiz has an article on Keanu's THREE! next (probably) films - Driven - Shooter - and The Replacements. You can also find info on these at KeanuNet. Nuthin' like a real live bonified hit to boost an actor's career.
- Here's a nice smiley photo at Yahoo. (Thanks, Margarete!)
- And Carrie-Anne Moss (from The Matrix) will be doing a live chat thing at TV Guide Online - Tues. April 20 at 9:00pm ET. (Thanks to Jonell and Reeves Drive for that one!)
Wednesday April 14, 1999
- A little Canadian VCR Alert:
- Sat April 24 - On the Arts - 6:30am EDT on CBC Newsworld.
Program Type: Arts / Anthology
Scheduled: actress Julia Sweeney; singer Jim Cuddy; a preview of David Cronenberg's film "Existenz"; the movie "The Matrix". 30 min.
(Repeats Sat. April 24 at 9:30am & 3:30pm EDT, Sun April 25 at 12:30am EDT.) - Also, if you've not yet seen it, there's a little Keanu article at EON Magazine. Too many frames for my liking, but some nice pictures too.... (Thanks for reminding me about that, Amy!)
Tuesday April 13, 1999
- Updated the Magazine Alerts.
- Here's a pretty nifty movie industry site, www.brandongray.com... it lists up-to-date Matrix grosses, and has a section called Star Power 101, "an objective ranking of the stars bankability quantified in the form of worth per picture. This week, Keanu skyrocketed up the chart." Thanks, Brandon Gray, for sending that in and letting us know about your site!
- You can also see a nice "North American Top Box Office Actuals" chart with all sorts of movie grosses at Yahoo. The Matrix is #1, cumulative gross for its 2 weeks in release: $73,310,417! (that's pretty damn good :-)
- And it's only been in theatres for 2 weeks, but apparently TV rights for The Matrix have already been bought by Turner Broadcasting's TBS and TNT. More details at CNN. (Thanks for posting that, Rosiiii!)
Sunday April 4, 1999
- Here's a neat new link... AcmeCity: The Matrix. You can build your own free 20MB Matrix homepage, complete with free official photos. Of course you could also just explore the pages built by others, or contribute to the message board... (Thanks for posting that, Anne! :-)
Friday April 2, 1999
- I know I've been M.I.A. for a little while.... I do apologize, but all this Matrix stuff is happening at the very busiest time of year for me..... so I'd gotten very behind in email and updating the alerts. I'd just like to take a little moment to thank everyone who has sent in VCR and magazine alerts the past few weeks. I normally try to e-mail everyone a personal thank you, but it's just not possible this time, so right now, big collective THANK YOU to everyone who's been helping out... it really is appreciated. And on that note....
- Updated the Media Alerts with some magazine and VCR alerts*. Most notably;
- Entertainment Weekly Keanu cover story! April 9 issue. And check out the website for a great Keanu photo gallery!!
- Thurs April 8 - The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - late night repeat!
For anyone who missed Keanu's April 1st appearance, or for anyone who would like to retape for various reasons, most NBC stations repeat The Tonight Show late at night around 2:30 or 3:30am.... one week after the original airdate. So Keanu's appearance should be replaying very early on Friday April 9. And for nuts like me who like to tape selectively... Keanu came on about 25 minutes into the show, was on for about 10 minutes and left after his segment. 
I received an e-mail from someone at CNET, who gave me that nifty graphic to the right over there, and said that Keanu would be featured on TV.COM this week. It's a show about entertainment on the net, produced by CNET. Keanu will be speaking about his role in The Matrix and the technology involved in producing the film. The show is syndicated, check the website for listings.
- Various other entertainment type shows this weekend... E! News, Access Hollywood... Siskel & Ebert.... all the new additions are marked, so just check the VCR alerts....
- The Matrix is doing GREAT so far!!! According to Mr. Showbiz, it earned $4.8 million Wednesday, the biggest pre-Easter opening EVER! Read the article for more details.
- And when you go to see The Matrix, make sure you STAY for the credits! At the end, there is a password that unlocks another hidden section of the Matrix website. You'll be very glad you did! (Thank you "Kate" for that tidbit, and I'll be going to see the movie "soon" *G*)
- Joe Pantoliano (ya know... from The Matrix) will be doing a live chat on AOL's Entertainment Asylum, April 5 at 8:30PM ET. This is for AOL members only. (Thanks HM)
Tuesday, March 23, 1999
- The VCR Alert list is suddenly quite long! Nothing quite as exciting as Leno added today, but check it out.... and thanks to Anne for the help.
- Also, according to the IMDB, the UK release date for The Matrix will be June 18th.
Sunday, March 21, 1999 (Again)
- Just recieved another VCR alert... thanks to Sheri for sending it in!
- Sat. April 3 - E! Behind The Scenes of The Matrix
Behind The Scenes premieres Saturdays at 2:00pm and is repeated throughout the weekend... so you'll have a few chances to catch this one, April 3rd, 4th, and 5th - on E! It's a 30 minute show.
And while I was checking if that one would be on Canadian TV, (it probably will, Behind the Scenes plays Saturdays at 4:30pm on CityTV, though they don't list which movie will be featured.... and since The Matrix is sci-fi, they may show it on SPACE too... but those are just guesses... no confirmations yet.... but now back to my point....) I found this:
- Sun. March 28 - Zee Cine Awards - 3:00pm EST on CFMT (a multilingual Canadian station) - 3 hr.
Dogstar appeared at these awards, which took place March 14, in India. The band played 3 songs, and presented an award.
For those who don't get CFMT, the awards were cybercast, and might be archived... soonish...
- Sat. April 3 - E! Behind The Scenes of The Matrix
Sunday, March 21, 1999
- Umm... so yesterday I posted about Dogstar performing at the EAT'M music conference in Las Vegas, on May 18th. But today it was pointed out to me that while Ticketmaster and the EAT'M website list Dogstar as performing on the 18th, the Boulder Station website has them listed as performing 2 shows on May 19th at 7 & 9 p.m., Ticket Prices: $22.50 plus tax. Gotta love all the confusion...... (Thank you, Margarete, for pointing that out!)
Saturday, March 20, 1999
- The new Entertainment Weekly has a cute little photo-booth type picture of Keanu and Carrie-Anne Moss at ShoWest.... which you can view here. (Many thanks to Jonell for that scan!!)
- We now have a little more information on the EAT'M music conference in Las Vegas, which you can read on the alerts page. Dogstar is now listed on the official schedule, and at Ticketmaster Online. (Many thanks to Sheri for the Ticketmaster info!!)
- And this picture that Shirley found is just so great! It's another new pic from ShoWest, which you can see at the EON Magazine site.
Friday, March 19, 1999
- Updated the Media Alerts with various things.... including Entertainment Tonight, Wed. March 24! Keanu is scheduled to be on, talking about The Matrix. And umm... too many other little alerts to mention here... just look for the NEW sign on the alerts page...
- Also added those pictures I mentioned yesterday... you can view the Novella 2000 ones here (they're the first 9 on the page... Keanu at Freddie Spencer's High Performance Riding School in Las Vegas), and the Starburst ones (from The Matrix) here. Thanks to Margarete for all those pictures!
Thursday, March 18, 1999 (Again)
- One more little VCR Alert. Tomorrow (Friday, March 19) on ET, they'll be doing a story (preview thingie) on that Road to Fame show, which airs Monday at 8:00pm EST on FOX. Thanks for that alert, Shirley!!
Thursday, March 18, 1999
- OK, so I'm behind again... still have some various things and pictures to post, but you can see those at Shirley's till I get around to it.... however, this I must mention immediately :-)
VCR Alert!! The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Thursday, April 1 (11:35pm EST on NBC) Scheduled: actors Keanu Reeves and Jessica Biel, comic Jeremy Hotz. (1 hr. 2 min.)
- Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day!
Monday, March 15, 1999 (*Gasp* -- twice!)
- Alrighty... Phase 2 of the incredibly belated update... the Media Alerts are now current once again. (Campus Reel, March edition, Woohoo! )
- Also, VCR alert! --- Road to Fame, Monday March 22 at 8:00pm EST on FOX will supposedly have Keanu footage. Description of the show: "Footage of famous celebrities before they were stars, including screen tests, commercials, audition tapes and home movies. (1 hr.)"
(Thank you, Cindy Ann! :-) - And this info is from Shirley & Reeves Drive.... Apparently Keanu was invited to appear at an LA comic book/sci-fi convention March 20, but has not yet confirmed.... see the advertising blurb at Shirley's and more details (and a scan of the flyer!) at Reeves Drive.
Sunday, March 14, 1999
- I know... it's been... a very long time since I updated. Sorry about that. I've simply had no time to work on the site, and the longer I leave it, the more things pile up, and aaaahhh!! it's just not good :-) So anyways, I've decided to dig out slowly... I do have some more things to add, but for now I've just updated the Photo Gallery, because it's been waiting the longest. You've probably seen these photos elsewhere by now, but they've been sitting around my mailbox for a long time, and darnit, I'm adding them! So here's the new Matrix pictures page. Very big thanks to Margarete, "Kate", and "Kate"'s scanner happy friend for all those pics. I also changed the look of the gallery front page a bit.... nothing really new there, just a little facelift....
- And I haven't updated the Media Alerts yet, but for any Torontonians out there:
- Sat. March 27 - Feeling Minnesota - 12:05am on CityTV!
- Sun. March 28 - Point Break - 11:40am EST (on TBS, of course)
- No word yet on any upcoming talk show appearances.
- Oh, and I suppose I should mention that the Matrix release date has been moved up to Wednesday, March 31. Of course you've probably already seen that too, either on other websites, or on all those nifty TV commercials....
- Alright, I'll throw in some links too. They're not on the Links Page yet, but it's not that hard to just type them in here, so.....
Thursday, February 18, 1999
- Updated the Media Alerts.
Sunday, February 7, 1999 (twice!)
- Updated the Media Alerts: There's a small Matrix write-up in the Feb. 12 issue of Entertainment Weekly.
- Concert Alert! According to the Ticketmaster website, Dogstar will be at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, Mon. March 1, 1999 - 7:30pm. It's an all ages show, and tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster. As always, please check with the venue before making any travel plans, since Dogstar does occasionally tend to cancel.
- Updated the Links: Added links to this Russian page, and The Wav Place, where you can find some Devil's Advocate sound clips. (Thanks for that one, Shirley!!.... And "Kate" =;)
Saturday, February 6, 1999
- It's that time of year again! The 4th annual Keanufest will be taking place in Bethany Beach, Delaware -- Sunday, June 13 - Friday, June 18, 1999. Registration is now open. For more information, check out the official announcement.
- And don't forget ET this weekend!
Friday, February 5, 1999
- VCR Alert!!! This weekend, Entertainment Tonight will be showing some previews of The Matrix! You can check the ET website, or ClickTV (that link is Canadian, this one's American) to see when it plays in your area.
Monday, February 1, 1999
- Updated the Media Alerts: Small Keanu photo in the Feb. 8 issue of People magazine - page 15. I also added some VCR Alerts. (Flying on Canadian Bravo! Woohoo! =;)
- You can find lots of new Matrix news & stuff over at Shirley's site and Reeves Drive. Since I've gotten really frankly crappy at keeping up to date with all the Keanu and Matrix news, and even worse at posting the updates in a timely manner..... I've now added links to some great daily/weekly Keanu news sources, up in the top right corner over there, where Porcupine Boy used to be.... So rather than my just lamely reposting what you've probably already seen days ago anyways, I'll simply leave you to check for yourselves.... Shirley and Reeves Drive won't let ya miss anything ....And I'll just stick to my Media Alerts and links and any other weird things I happen to come across... and on that note....
- Added Links to ScreenTalk, where you can read the Speed script in Adobe Acrobat format (thanks for posting that, liv!), and to Keanu Amour, which is a new Keanu Links site.
- Do you have Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen clippings?? Wanna trade them for Dutch Keanu stuff?? If you do, then check out the message board and contact Marleen....
- And I lied just a tad, because I haven't seen it posted elsewhere yet, so here's a link to the new Matrix trailer (3.1Mb, MOV), which premiered during the Superbowl. That's from Dark Horizons. And THANK YOU, Jonell, for pointing it out!!
Friday, January 22, 1999
- Do you check Reeves Drive at least once a week? It's a great place for new articles and little tidbits. If you haven't been there lately, check the New Stuff page for some recent Matrix things, and that new US magazine article, all typed out!
- Looks like Dogstar has cancelled that Sweetwaters concert in New Zealand, scheduled for this weekend. Here's what they reported at the NewsRoom.... (Non-Keanu stuff snipped -- Thank you, Margarete!)
- TV3 news (first segment)
Thursday, 21 January 1999, 6:18 pm
Staff Reporter: Alastair Thompson
"Sweetwaters music festival in Hamilton may be worried about the weather. Dogstar and Keanu Reeves have pulled out. Police will patrol festival on horseback. Officers own their own horses (mostly white). Met service says there is 50% chance of heavy rain tonight or tomorrow at the site."
Tuesday, January 19, 1999
- The fabulous Shirley has scanned in those pictures from the February issue of US. (Thanks Shirley!! .....Hi Shirley!! =;) Check out her what's new page to get to the pics.
- Apparently, if you go to Lucky's in Sunnyvale, California, and you buy two gallons of milk, then they'll give you a free People Weekly 1999 Celebrity Fact Finder. About the size of a TV Guide, it contains some typical information on 500 celebrities, including Keanu. Just a brief note about each celeb, and a few pictures, though none of Keanu. It basically seems like a big ad for milk. Not quite leap out of your chair exciting, but if you live in Sunnyvale, and you need milk.... might as well go for it! (Thank you, Crystal!!)
Saturday, January 16, 1999
- The first Matrix reviews are out at Ain't It Cool News, and they're pretty good!! (Finders credits for that one go to Reeves Drive.)
Friday, January 15, 1999
- I redesigned the Media Alerts page, and updated it with all new alerts... well all except for the concert alerts, no new concert news lately.... I hope you don't hate the new design, because it's staying that way for a while! :-)
- Keanu on a Postage Stamp?? Apparently so! Up for auction on eBay are a couple of postage stamps from the Republic of Gagauzia, featuring a nice ol' pic of Keanu Reeves. (Auction 1 - Auction 2) Now this got me rather curious about the Republic of Gagauzia, which I learned is in Moldova, part of the former Soviet Union. Here's a link with some information, and here's a picture of their flag. They also have a couple of Princess Diana stamps (#1 - #2), an X-Files stamp, Spice Girls stamps, and some more stamps featuring these various celebs. You can also buy these at stampmagnets.com, just search for Gagauzia in the country field.
- For anyone who's been hiding under a rock the past couple of weeks.... like that nice big one next to mine ;-) ..... The Matrix trailer is now available on the official Matrix website.
- And an insanely late Happy New Year to all
Made in Canada
