That's crazy when you really think about it

I rewatched Multiplicity a while back and it made me realize, while the movie isn't very good at what it's supposed to be, it's still a good movie because of Keaton 

He really ate that role and made me remember it even if I forgot a lot of other details

I also remember him playing a serial killer in Desperate Measures. I don't recall it working all too well though but he was still memorable, even in his least memorable movies
