Mr Reeves, giving your pay to the original crew and techs of The Matrix was the most noble thing I've ever heard of a film professional doing, and I really hope one day I have the chance to do something as fine and affirming for deserving people around me. Crew and FX people really don't get enough credit. Anyway, I know that the Wachowski siblings are very private, but I deeply love their art and think their insights in to storytelling and filmmaking are fascinating, and I was hoping you could tell us some interesting or funny anecdotes from when you were working with them or maybe tell us something, professional or personal, that you took away from your time with them. Lana and Andy are simply my favorite moviemakers. I think they're lightyears beyond everyone else, particularly in terms of understanding the viewer's perception of meaning in storytelling, and I'd love to hear about them from your perspective.

I've always wanted to tell you that when hear about us "making fun of you" on the internet, in honesty it is a reflection of how much we admire you. We all love you, even the people that may dislike your movies. We love you even more knowing that you understand that we're just having good, clean fun. I've never seen a distasteful meme involving you. It's actually rather remarkable how reverent memes involving you have remained. You may be the only person able to make such a claim. Keep being a good person and keep trying to find that perfect sandwich. I can't think of a more worthwhile endeavor. If I could spend a typical uneventful day with any actor, it would be you. Every time I'm eating an amazing sandwich, I think of you and appreciate the day more and the sandwich becomes just that little bit better. You're like my sandwich Shiva. Seriously, you're the man. If I ever open a sandwich shop it will be in your honor and named after you and I will make the best sandwiches anyone has ever had.

Finally, did you see Hot Fuzz and what types of roles are you looking forward to as you get further in to your career? Are there any specific characters you would like to play?

YES! More Keanu Reeves science fiction! You managed to answer questions I didn't even ask but desperately wanted answered.

Thank you so much dude.

I haven't seen your movie yet but my father says it contains one of the funniest scenes/moments/jokes he's seen in years. He was very enthusiastic about it.

You've been asked if you had Arnold in mind while writing, but what about Knoxville?

Sorry if this has already been asked...

Did you feel like there was a lot of anger among the crew that the show was cancelled?

What do you feel when you see Farscape now? As a viewer, I get a tinge of sadness at the end of every episode that I rewatch. It's like seeing home movies of a sibling that died long ago, well before their time. As someone that worked on the show, what's it like watching episodes now?

It seems like you're writing it as you go. Do you have an ending planned for the series?
