"I'm not an anarchist," Keanu Reeves says. "But as a kid, I always asked, 'How come?' So this is my childhood tradition. Stories about fighting against unreasonable authority and systems resonate with me."
The actor has seen that dynamic play out again and again over the course of his long career. At 52, he says, "I'm old enough now to almost have a Reevesian canon."
Soon that canon will include John Wick: Chapter 2, in theaters Feb. 10. The film is a sequel to 2014's unexpectedly great John Wick, a surreal, moody revenge thriller that grossed $86 million globally against a budget of about $20 million.
In the first film, Wick, a onetime assassin grieving the death of his wife, comes out of retirement to track down the punk who killed his puppy. The sequel pits Wick against a global crime syndicate and ratchets up the intensity of its anime-inspired fight sequences.
(Both films were directed by Chad Stahelski, a former stuntman who doubled for Reeves in The Matrix in 1999.) This Wick feels more commercial and less subtle, but the melancholy that pervaded the first film is still there. Reeves says that gloom drew him to the character. "In fiction, suffering is good," he says. "I liked his grief."
Most hero stories are catalyzed by some form of tragedy, and contemporary action films tend to dispense with backstory quickly as a method of establishing bare-minimum sympathy with the audience before moving on to spectacle.
Reeves, by contrast, seems drawn to characters whose deep woundedness is the story. He is adept at carrying tragedy with him through a film, rather than just the perfunctory scene or two. Quips are relatively few and far between. And from the '90s--when he starred in films like Point Break and Speed--onward, Reeves has looked different from most of his peers: more sinew than gruff,
more likely to be driven by inner turmoil than external aggression. In the character of Wick, for instance, Reeves sees a fight for agency he says echoes his own. "That sense of wanting to have independence and move freely in the world," he says. "That's one of the threads."
Reeves cuts an enigmatic figure in popular culture, too, especially in his downtime. There was the "sad Keanu" meme in 2010, and a string of side projects. He's played bass guitar in two bands, produced a well-received documentary about the transition from photochemical to digital film and co-founded a motorcycle company.
Several years ago, he began collaborating with artist Alexandra Grant. In 2011, they published Ode to Happiness, a grownup picture book with illustrations by Grant and soulful aphorisms written by Reeves. For their next work, they've been riffing on failure as a theme. Reeves says he's been writing it in his head, though he hasn't gotten anything on paper yet.
For now, he has found a surprisingly rich hero in Wick, a guy who's had everything taken from him, and so ends up adding to the canon. Says Reeves: "It's me reclaiming my life."

Costs of Inflation: Price Confusion and Money Illusion - Duration: 5:05.
♪ [music] ♪
- [Alex] Why is inflation a problem? To the person in the street,
the costs of inflation are obvious. Prices are going up. What could be worse?
But inflation increases all prices, including wages. If all prices are going
up, what's the problem? If everyone knew that the inflation rate would be 2% or 8%,
then everyone could prepare. And the exact rate, it wouldn't matter so much.
But it's often the case that no one knows what the inflation rate is going to be.
In the United States, the inflation rate was 1.3% in 1964. The rate then quadrupled
to 5.9% in 1970 and then it went to 11% in 1974. Inflation caught people by surprise.
Then inflation went from 14% in 1980 to 3% in 1983. And, again,
people were surprised. And these changes...they were mild. In Peru,
the inflation rate was 77% in 1986 but then just four years later the inflation
rate was running at 7,500% per year before falling back to 73% by 1992.
Who could possibly predict these kinds of changes?
Now high rates of inflation do create some problems, as we'll discuss,
but volatile and high inflation rates they're really costly. We're going to look
at two costs: price confusion and money illusion. Remember from our video on the
price system that a price is a signal wrapped up in an incentive.
We said then that an increase in the price of oil it signals to users of oil that oil
has become more scarce. And it incentivizes those users of oil to find
ways to economize such as by moving flower production to warmer climates.
But when we have inflation, all prices are increasing. So price signals,
they become more difficult to interpret. There's price confusion.
Is that increase in the price of oil, is that due to greater scarcity or is it just
due to more money chasing the same goods? Now people...they're not so sure what to
do and the price system becomes a less effective way of coordinating economic
action.
Inflation, especially high and volatile inflation, it adds noise to prices.
So price signals become more difficult to interpret and coordination is made less
effective. Money illusion is another problem. Let's face it. Human beings are
not always perfectly rational. So suppose that over several years the price of a
movie ticket doubles. Even when we know that most prices, including wages,
have doubled, we might still feel that movies...they've just become so expensive.
"I remember when going to the movies was a cheap date. It's too expensive now."
If we think that movies were cheap in the past and expensive today,
we might go to fewer movies, even when there hasn't been a change in the real
price of movies; the price corrected for inflation. Money illusion is when
people mistake changes in nominal prices with changes in real prices.
If we were perfectly rational, then we ought to just care about the real price.
But sometimes that's hard to do because we compare things with the way we remember
them, without doing all the fancy corrections and conversions in our head to
compare real prices. Inflation has other costs. It redistributes wealth and it
breaks down financial intermediation. We're going to take up those costs in the
next video.

Why Is Poop Brown And Pee Yellow? - Duration: 2:51.
"Hi, this is Emily from MinuteEarth.
Although the things we eat and drink are all sorts of colors, they all come out the other
end looking either brown and yellow.
And actually, our digestive systems destroy pretty much all the colors in our food, turning
what's left into a grayish mass – the pigments that show up in our poop and pee
come, not from our food, but instead, from our blood.
That's largely because our bodies produce an insane number of red blood cells, but these
cells have no way of maintaining or repairing themselves, so they only last for a few months
before becoming so stiff and inflexible that they're forced to retire.
If all the retiring red blood cells went straight to the toilet, and took all their oxygen-carrying
iron with them, our poop and pee would be red, but our bodies would also quickly run
out of iron for making new red blood cells, and we'd die.
Instead, white blood cells engulf their red comrades and crack them open to reclaim the
precious iron, leaving the disposable iron wrappers to degrade into a molecule called
bilirubin.
The liver tries to clean bilirubin from the bloodstream by sweeping it into the intestines...but
unfortunately, the intestines mistake it for food, and push it right back into the bloodstream.
In other words, left to their own devices, our bodies send bilirubin on an infinite loop
and never actually get rid of it.
Fortunately, certain gut bacteria break the cycle by intercepting bilirubin and chewing
it into a slightly different molecule called urobilinogen, which prepares it to finally
leave the body by two possible routes:
In route Number 1, urobilinogen first gets treated just like bilirubin and put back into
the bloodstream, but from there, it gets slurped up by the kidneys, which recognize it as trash
and process it accordingly – into a molecule that happens to be yellow – before passing
it along to the bladder, which passes it to the toilet...or, to wherever.
In route Number 2, microbes back in the intestines happen upon the urobilinogen and chew it into
a dark brown molecule that lurches all the way to the end of the colon, mixing with the
grayish remains of our food to turn the final product its familiar shade.
In short....
Roses are red, red blood cells are too Bacteria turn them into the brown in our poo
Except when our kidneys end up making them yellow
In which case, always remember to let it mellow" This episode of MinuteEarth is supported in

Seven Signs That An Angel Is With You! - Duration: 3:24.
Seven Signs That An Angel Is With You!
by Linda Preston
Angels exist on a different vibrational frequency to humans, and most of us are therefore unable
to see them but we can often feel their presence around us.
Angels have a way of making their presence known and it is not necessary to be deeply
religious or to have a strong spiritual belief to sense the presence of an angel.
7 Signs That An Angel Is Close By
1.
The temperature in the room may change.
You may feel a sudden rush of warm air or a warm glow surrounding you.
You may also get goose bumps or tingling at the back of your neck or head.
2.
An intriguing fragrance may appear out of nowhere.
It may be an unusual aroma that you have never smelt before, and you will probably not be
able to identify it.
3.
Different colored lights may appear from nowhere.
You may see shafts of light streaming down or shooting across the room or may catch glimpses
or sparks of light or notice shadows.
Do not be afraid, you will not see an angel appearing until you are ready to, and angels
of course have no desire to harm you.
4.
You may hear angelic voices trying to communicate to you.
If the voice is merely a whisper or is muffled, send a mental message for the angel to speak
louder.
Do not assume that the angelic voice you are hearing is a product of your imagination.
5.
White feathers may suddenly appear in the most unlikely and unexpected of place.
This is a sure sign that the angels are with you and are ready to answer your prayers�
6.
Angels may appear to you in your dream state with a solution to a particular problem.
By the morning, you will feel more positive and clearer about which direction to take�
7.
You may feel as if there is someone in the room with you.
(As if someone has just brushed past you) or you may experience the sensation that a
presence is standing behind you perhaps with their hands on your shoulders.
Often the angels will make their presence very obvious.
A common experience is when you are in a bookshop or a library perhaps unconsciously looking
for guidance and suddenly a book will fly off a shelf and drop at your feet.
This is angels at work, trust in them and you will receive more signs.
They are here to help us on life path.

Living For Each Other, Not For Public Opinion!
his hood afternoon game time to come to
the YouTube movie the YouTube movie time
and you're gonna be the star if you TV
movie
well how are you out there my rainbow
card this is paul the rainbow man who
tweaked the ring post which shines on
you all day i hope you're doing well
we're at the hump day and god I hate
that expression
oh I always have but I mean I think
after what many of us have been
developing a pod which is the visible
awful training of this swamp in
Washington that that are our 45th
president insists on doing bringing all
these wonderful right-wing people and
ultra-conservatives into our mainstream
kit set right goodbye kiss his log that
body kiss all of them good luck
now I think they're gonna have to really
good deal with some people that are in a
frenzy note because i have a feeling
that Donald Trump doesn't realize what
he got himself into
as I was saying the bridge last night
gee you know what this wouldn't have
been happening with Hillary of course we
still be talking about those the
ridiculous the controversies over her
proper use of email servers and I think
that she's got that point well driven
home me it ain't gonna happen to her and
evil rest for sure but this character of
that we believe that making these
executive orders my goodness i heard on
CNN yesterday that mr. Trump succeeded
in something that never occurred before
what a man he has a majority unfavorable
rating 51-percent it took them five days
to get there i guess the premise of
getting all these jobs for the rest else
was like got him in there but he kind of
put that aside right now and we're just
now talking about reorganizing the
government you know I don't know that
man knows the Constitution orders
amendment is bread that too is I wonder
I wonder if you really do need to be in
the political arena before you studied
that or certainly either maybe that was
just on the John reading when you want
something to perk him up but get get rid
of those there's those battle the stools
out his back and I bet that he was
reading up on the amendments to the
Constitution not and I dated I think we
really have to watch guys and gals I
can't imagine that we would ever want to
go back to where we were before and and
everything
interracial issues I mean never even
really done anything to improve the
situation between adjust majority black
communities and our police forces that
govern those communities and may
occasionally this is a favorable
response that comes about because
somebody somebody yelled loud enough and
long enough for somebody took a video
that can't be disputed i'm just really
wondering you know what the hell is
actually going on into the back rooms
that we don't hear and I such a
wonderful time of the year just do you
start to think about the the upcoming
warm weather season leaving out of the
plant tulips coming up that you know the
beach days that has moved for me my
passion for the Philadelphia Phillies
just know you have so many things that i
love about the upcoming seasons but when
the hot summer months come you know when
it's time for people to really get
pissed off at the
of the lack of services and the amount
of random shootings that go on
I don't think that's going to go over
very well really don't but you know
we'll just have the Regency i would say
3.2 million people didn't feel that he'd
be the best choice which is why they
voted for Hillary unfortunately she was
kind about tooth and didn't realize that
she needed to park her but a little bit
in the western PA and along the shores
of Illinois Michigan and Wisconsin and
Florida no one wanted we didn't have any
rust belt industries in Florida we never
did but she needs to spend some time
with people because there's a lot of
registered Republicans here she had to
show them but they're old and she needs
to show them how important would be to
have her as president so that their
medical situations wouldn't be screwed
up and they are already I i got my first
refill of medicines for Obamacare it's
not that anymore healthcare that goes
national health care i paid a good sixty
percent more for the pharmaceutical
items that that last year I had on
humana and share have a florida blue
cross deductibles are up they don't
covers many of the specialists that
sometimes one needs to see like all the
pts and neurologists etc and so yeah I'm
going to use to being a little bit more
of a belt tightening guide myself don't
tell Brad you'll never believe what I
could ever possibly tighten my belt this
to spoil that I am very closely i highly
insulted by the way anyways so has the
these last few days has been going well
for you have you been sucked into the
vacuum of CNN and MSNBC I hope that I i
listen to them on on siriusxm on the
carburetor which I do love that I get
chest but the totally informed by the
time I get home after driving an hour
and a half and then I don't have to
we don't want to watch the the the cable
edition of all those shows because they
know what they said i would i watch the
listings live and I know exactly you
know how I'm supposed to be well i don't
i'm not a gas that anything anymore
I chocolate a always a my best Hebrew
were Jewish just gets ridiculous it's
absolutely absolutely ridiculous 2017
guys and gals and look at all we got to
lose if he starts to strip things away
from us
image buddy jeff sessions of my my
favorite state alabama the beautiful and
i love that state but boy did they had
Neanderthals that running running it's
absolutely Neanderthals and by the way
and what runs MIOSHA got my ring on it
and it's clicking off our i think i'm
going to do a mom now remember these
balloons to make it two nite my crystal
here
yeah so anyway that's what we're dealing
with and I just hope that people get
pretty damn sick of it
will there be in peaches you know I
don't know I don't care we put somebody
in without thinking and serves us right
for being so obtuse and I've always said
in the United States you usually pretty
happy as long as that you can save
enough money for a at least a nice
three-year Carly on a a better car you
know mrs. this cell floor is incredible
i mean this it doesn't have one to be
even in the top ten in terms of the base
incomes for for the average proletariat
hear from the socialist proletariat most
people are making in in the 40 to 60 i
would say that's probably fair he s and
12 people at working in the family
household are making that so you can pay
your bills know
it allows for you to have rooms to go
furniture course it's a thousand dollars
for whole living room dining room or
bedroom suite and I understand its
twenty dollars a month without interest
i don't know all the small print but you
know who cares that's awfully cheap this
is the garbage collection and the cindy
crawford collection
I don't know who's like better typing
like the city regards collection and
this is via this is the Crawford
collection is a little bit more warmth
than either one of those but the
nitrogen it's been cold and thank you
everyone for supporting the station to
little bit more a little bit more
generously I think you so much I feel
still a little bit down here and
everybody's here but he had you know
four months of hard work and I can't say
I mean this is this comes pretty natural
to me is I really do love being with you
this is this the fun project i have more
troubled the uploading the finish to
video and then converting it into a form
that YouTube can use and so you can see
it i spent probably six hours doing that
and maybe just a couple of dollars to
impress them and and and post planning
forever for my films but wow this
ridiculous absolutely ridiculous
I have to find a better way and I think
that there is 1 i'm going to look at the
social blade i think they have an editor
that that you you could bring yourself
into or from the the video creator page
that's like when it's on that page on
the bottom says his a new way to to
upload or try the youtube video editor
i'm going to try that today if it works
with this transferring is thinking a lot
of time it's not and it's not going
through and I just including remove
waste more time it's taking the fun out
of something is beautiful and
so i would like to share that was
slipping down maybe if any of you guys
can tell me what I'm doing wrong I'm but
I'm shooting but in a mov film and has
to be converted to mp4 not shut up it's
not doing that well but you know it's I
think that I know what you know what has
to be done but I don't know how to do it
clean listen seamlessly so it can really
then that's the city any problems but
listen thank you again for sticking with
this i was watching a video creators
talked yesterday this and you are
probably why that you have a little bit
less viewership when you start up start
these programs out because your talent
is not as polished as it will be when
people start loving you
incidentally just can't stop talking
about your amazing this in in a few
years I suppose that's true that's like
everything I don't seem to have any
problem with the comfortability of this
electric eyes staring me in the face but
yeah I could imagine that would be true
and i took active that is an absolute
great encouragement so my friends I will
be with you again i don't know if it's

I think those drugs are starting to wear off already,
Terry. He's got a bit of go in him.
You're right, Matt.
I think he's getting there.
We want it long enough, but too long.
And I think we got the right amount.
There's always a danger anaesthetizing these.
If you give him too much, you can kill him.
I agree.
So just a little bit.
Make him a little bit doughy.
It's fine with me.
One, two, three.

And again.
[grunts]
[inaudible]
As soon as this tape comes off,
especially in the position that you get in,
you are very vulnerable.
All right.
Hold that.
He's starting to come back to life now.
He's still a little groggy, but that's fine.
He will just slide on in there and make
his way up to the stream.
[music playing]
He's got teeth about the same size of the tooth
around your neck, mate.
Last one, Willy, last one.
One, two, three.
Pull.
Go, go, go, go.
Okay.
Give me some slack.
When you're transporting a big animal,
you really got to make sure that they're comfortable in the net.
All right, Mickey.
You got to crank up, mate.
The animal feels like it's a little bit more comfortable
just because his head's supported.
And it actually stops him from rolling in the net as well.
All right, matey.
We'll see you down the other side.
[music playing]
This is the last of the big crocs for the week.
We've moved him about 10 kilometers downriver,
and the station is going to monitor his movements to make
sure he doesn't come back.
But for now, this is a good place for him to call home.
