did receieve it and responded late last night
When Keanu looks around at people and starts running at the end ("you have 1 hour") that was great!
it was! I don't know if there will be another Wick story to tell (I liked the ambiguity at the end. Will he survive? Will someone go against the Continental's excommunication of John and help him? Will he be forced to go underground? )It's being speculated there will be but until Reeves confirms, I'm happy with these two chapters
It seems Butler will be married in DOT, so he might be an antihero at day's end.

Apparently, Gerry tried on that one to make it more romantic, but Jodie was not willing. It was a children's movie.
I'm calling fake news on that. Jodie Foster is gay, but she could easily be convincing if she cared. As has been mentioned earlier, it is GB who seems awkward in romantic scenes. Blaming Jodie is not cool. I'm not sure why an actress with her talent chose such a mediocre role. Gerry was like a bad Indiana Jones imitation.
Children's movie or not, he swore repeatedly during the filming and had to pay Abigal each time he did. He also made some inappropriate remarks during the promotions with the cast. That was the last of his films I watched in a theater. Even kids didn't like the film. -

Canberry,
Not fake news, look it up, it's in an interview. This is not gossip.
Everyone knows Jodie Foster is gay, but that's beside the point.
If Jodie didn't want to make her character role romantic, that was her choice. Jodie might have felt the movie stood better without the romantic finish which is of course, very predictable. The independent woman who doesn't HAVE to fall in love with the hunk at the end is a strong, more feminist choice. I think it was the actress' conscious choice and a bold one. Unfortunately, that choice didn't work out creatively or financially, the ending falling flat. The chemistry was lacking when the two of them come together at the end and audience expects a romantic chemistry. It comes back to the script. I believe the two actors disagreed on how to handle these scenes, which are called "creative differences" and happens all the time between actors.
On "Blaming Jodie" sorry but "Blaming Jodie" can happen, just like "Blaming Gerry" happens. Any actor is not above being blamed for poor performance or lackluster chemistry or a bad choice they make in a film. They have to live with it, the movie the audience and its' reviews has to live with it. I like Jodie and Gerry both in Nim's, but the ending didn't work. My Mom and I both enjoyed, just fun and frivolous. It's based on a book by a writer I like, so I'm glad it got made.
I already described the movies Gerry was good in romantically, IMO, so I don't go with a blanket verdict on that.
I'm glad Abigail Breslin made a bundle off her swear jar, she's a smart cookie and a fine actress. I hope she gets some better roles, or something I can see. Haylee Stenifeld and Anja Taylor-Joy(SPLIT, WITCH) seem to have all the young hot actress mojo now. ANYA is really amazing in SPLIT opposite James McAvoy who gets to show HUGE talent in his split personality roles.
btw Where is Abigail? Anyone see a good movie with her lately?

Link? And even if he said it, it doesn't make it true.

Not really. Faking is harder for some than others. -

Canberry,
You may scour for the interview yourself in your idle hours when you are not making homophobic remarks about actors.
You strike me as the person who only believes what comes out of your own mouth.
Not unlike POTUS. -

lol. Good one. I do wonder why barb is here with her so very bad comments about Gerry. People like her shouldn't be on this board. People like her make these boards toxic.
I haven't written much on this board, but I have been here reading since forever, and not to sound harsh, but Barb, why keep up writing crap about actors. It's really not nice. -

Oh, and for the record, as I remember it, Gerry was blaming both of them, himself and his acting partner, for their problem lack of chemistry when you're acting together that's how it is, it is a shared responsibility.
And a poor choice was made by both in not discussing their alternate views of the romantic ending and roles before accepting them.
But I believe Foster's choice to play it non-romantic fit her priority as an actress and she is the Oscar actress headlining Nim's but her choice was bad for the film overall.
As to why Foster would do the project, she has children and Nim's is an important children's book for many, maybe for her own children even. -

I'm calling fake news on that.
LOL! This made me chuckle.
I'm trying to remember if I ever watched Nim's Island. I think I saw clips, but never the whole movie. I was already off Gerry by the time it came around, and it didn't interest me enough to make the effort.
I do remember that promotional thing when he's asked something like what his favorite thing in the world is (or som5b4ething along those lines) and he said really good sex.
It'd be funny if after IMDb boards close down, Gerry Butler finally turns in a great acting performance, earns high esteem among critics, and starts raking in Academy Awards on a regular basis.
Where will people talk about it? Just Jared? That Russian place? -

No he is not. Jonma. Just leave the board. Thanks..It's people like you, that might have been one of the reasons IMDB has chosen to shut down these message boards. Too many scammers, trolls,and hateful people. It's a shame really.
It's no one's business what people are in private. Anyway. -
SiriusGrande — 9 years ago(February 04, 2017 02:18 PM)
If only he were. That would at least be interesting to talk about.
I'm afraid he's not though. He's boringly hetero.
Appropriate that his IMDb message board should spend its last days debating his sexuality though. It's been a sensitive topic for many years. I've never seen him as gay or bi, though. He's just notcool enough. LOL.
