This is a sketch about last week's #1 movie at the box office. I'd warn
you by saying 'Spoiler Alert', but I have a feeling most of our regular
patrons here at the FuMP dot com have no intention of seeing it anyway.
According to Wikipedia, the powers that be behind the remake of "The
Day The Earth Stood Still" had no intention of including the line
"Klaatu Barada Nikto" in the film, but on the insistance of Keanu
Reeves, a big fan of the 1951 original, the line was included. It's
Klaatu's first line of dialogue in the film, however it's so garbled by
a ton of audio effects gobbledegook that I didn't even know that's what
was being said. I had to go home and do some Google searches to find
out if it was even in the film at all, as it was promised by the stars
on the Late Night talk shows. So, since Keanu made a good faith effort
to make sure the line was included in the remake, we should probably
cut the guy some slack this time around...
...Yeah, right.
There are some things in the world that I will never tire of. Picking
on the acting style of Keanu Reeves is one of these things. If you're
out there Keanu, sorry, but it had to be done. In reality, I'm a fan of
many of your films, and if you get together with Alex Winter and make
"Bill and Ted 3", I promise I'll never make fun of you again.
