I like Henry Cavil too - he is talented but underused because he's so good looking.
I loved him in that 70's redo spy movie I can't think of name - with Alicia Vikander and Armie Hammer playing a spy trio. Get it for Henry it you haven't seen it. It bombed, but I wish it had done well so there'd be a sequel with him!
Sirius, Annie posted the boards here are shutting down.
All we can do is exchange emails if anyone interested.?
I'll PM my email later. must get dinner. Glad I chec1c84ked in. Been slammed. Weired IMDb is now shutting it all down. What gives? -

Sirius,
I already replied about Henry in that spy movie which is good with Alicia Vikander, but I don't see my post?! hmm, maybe it's hiding?
I like Henry who is too good looking for his own good, and gets underused by Hollywood as a result.
Boards are shutting down. Let me know if you want to exchange emails, continue on about what movies are good and not so much.
I think we'd all just let it be real lax, and respond when we have time. Hectic lately.
I got slammed with family/work issues and came here to check in - really shocked IMDb is dumping us all! -
KeepersBurns — 9 years ago(February 03, 2017 09:00 PM)
OMG! IMDb Shutting it down?! Just thought I'd check quick - have been slammed with work/family issues and was going to post my responses later. My God! How long have boards been up, like forever? Wonder why
Uhg, and here I did my actor lists for current members and new members who come aboard!
Exchange email sounds good, I mean like something to take away from this anyway, and continue discussion when there's new things.
Do we do post our emails in the Private Message area? I guess should not post it here, though it would be faster.
Annie, is there a date they shut it down? The PM area will shut down too?
I'll check back soon, must go get dinner. Crazy world it is indeed.

Thanks for update Annie. Gerry posted gym pic to gear all up for it. 50 cent in it, I might say iffy (50 was in lots low budget lowbrow crime movies) but surprised to like 50 in Southpaw held his own across from Jake G. Buffing up means Gerry is doing a violent movie probably. Will be hard to compete with Keanu and Common in John Wick 2! Funny how it's the thing to cast rappers in crime dtamas - that gives it more street cred? Could be. Common did a fine job in JW. Music stars bring a different cache/audience with them - John Legend in LA LA LAND didn't hurt.
Happy New Year 2017 to everybody on this Board!!

keepersburns,
if this is half as good/entertaining as John Wick, Butler might be onto something!
did see his gym pic
whomever handles his social media accounts is doing a poor job to say the least.
They are erratic and oftentimes have no meaning to what was previously posted.
I don't know if Butler finds social media obligatory/doesn't care/feels its beneath him or hasn't figured out what to share
Maybe I'm just spo5b4iled because I follow Ice-T- he does it himself and he tweets almost daily. Jackman/Downey only do when they're promoting films. Russell Crowe when he tweets shares stuff from Australia to music to workouts to films. Renner gives us peaks into his life.

BlueBlazesWildcat88,
I don't FB, so perhaps his FB page is better handled/and I'm not on my twitter account everyday so maybe he or his peeps are posting more frequently.

He's posting more often on TW and IG now. A few selfies - and then personal ones of him younger, his Mom young and him as kid with bro and sis. He'd gone home so maybe that's why he had time and made it personal. Think Gerry wants us to know it's really him posting. Not a social media manager. He's reaching out to fans. Maybe it's to counter negative press right now about his off/on gf, but it's a good idea and I hope he keeps it up. It gives fans and gawkers something personal from him, which can mitigate damage from the gossip celeb sites. And all the comments to Gerry's posts are positive; versus the comments about Gerry on JJ or Daily Mail are mostly neg
and even cruel. Maybe he's seeing the positive effects of social media for an actor, who's control of his own image is well Challenged at best.
I don't follow the other guys, only Bree Turner who is so cool posting about assault. She did movie Room, but still, I was shocked, like this is really Bree having time to post on TW and reply despite her career skyrocketing now?! I was so impressed.
Annie, I'll look into following Jeremy and Russell.
You make it sound intriguing! Never thought of
Ice-T though I watch SVU all the time. He must be cool. I turned on notifications for Gerry since I knew he rarely posts. Now it's going Boop Boop often Recently. A nice surprise! And his last post in gym he's really promoting Den of Thieves. Gerry has right idea to mix it up. Got personal with us, now back to biz. Before I remember mainly his appearance FB posts thanking his fragrance hosts in Dubai or whatever just blah or self-serving only. Let's see what he posts next - if he can keep going.
Hope -

keepersburns,
glad to see you posting again
can't agree more with your comment below:
the comments about Gerry on JJ or Daily Mail are mostly neg
and even cruel.
yep they are and I've been 'bullied" by one poster on JJ (I've posted a couple of times)- you know I work at a studio and have tried to share what I can but I got torn a new butt because I was honest in my assessment as to how box office is calculated and he has no say as to release dates etc/and him.
I wish he would extricate himself from Kavanaugh and that sinking Relativity- they are holding Hunter Killer/HeadHunter in financial hell
he should if he can align himself with the Eastwoods/Nolans/Villeneuves/Sheridans of t2000he world.- he can act and has it in him to give a performance akin to Dear Frankie/The Jury. Keepers is being directed by the fellow who is directing Hardy in Taboo so
watched 300 last night and it always saddens me when he's dying and says My queen. My Wife. My Love.
and I am so on the late freight with him- the other day I had about 20 minutes to spare before my Spurs played and I downloaded on youtube Gerard Butler funny guy and he was funny/embarassed/open/charming/intelligent and somewhere along the way he became "closed off" for whatever reason- oh he's still charming and intelligent
but I have only listened to one of the interviews he gave for LHS where he said Amy knows me a little, letting his self come thru.
do follow Ice-T -its fun and he passes on advice "The Daily Game" as he calls it

If Steven Knight has anything to do with Keepers it will be fantastic. Gerry should do a 1 man movie with S Knight like Tom did on Locke. Now that shows you have talent and don't drive yourself mad with box office worries. Would Gerry be able to get bank for that? Tiny budget on Locke and shot in 2 weeks when Tom had opening around big projects, but Gerry woukd have to fight for it because he's not known for that.
Ryan had money. Gerry was at his wedding / so was Leo and others. Gerry must be friend to the deep pockets. Is Relativity going down? That would suck if Gerry has even less movies out - 1 he never made and has lawsuit. Headhunter is in limbo. Just no buyers? Not even Netflix or Amazon? Is Hunter Killer in jeopardy too?? I thought it wrapped so all good?
Hate those bullies. Never posted on JJ. Always shocked when bullying comes at me. For just expressing my opinion or view. Cyber is a safe ground for bullies, even when the zeitgeist is so against it. Bullies should get bullied.
Gerry should work with M. Night Shyamalan! Not Sure spelling. Director on a comeback with Split - back to his successful thrillers like Sixth Sense after huge fails Last Airbender and After Earth. Might already be too late. Could be 'hot' again. Night had to dig himself out. He's working with Blumhouse and doing low budget thrillers. Did NOT recognize James McAvoy bald in trailer playing multiple personality character!! Read article in LA Times on Night and saw McAvoy is the guy. That's a role! Or 20 roles. I'll have to see it.
Gerry should do projects low budget that will get made and have distribution set. Dont know why Headhunter was made without a buyer/dist. first. Now that WAS RISKY. Another thing to sell at Toronto if it's a thriller with celeb lead or a 'niche drama' like boxing breakout Million Dollar Baby but a tearjerker drama which HH sounds like is
tough. Would have to have everything go just right like incredible reviews and buzz.
I don't know of Gerry having any movie out soon? so all the vitriol of his personal breakup being aimed at his non-existent movie premiere is crazy, right?
We'll be waiting for something with Gerry forever. Meantime Tom H is on screens big or small all the time and I can't get tired of him!!

keepersburns,
Relativity is sinking. Last thing I read was they might have to liquidate their film library- they have been in bankruptcy, emerged out of it and it seems another bankruptcy filing could happen. Over the holidays many of their remaining employees were furloughed and vendors haven't been paid.
Hunter Killer was under Relativity but according to Variety 1/11/17
The studio did not come up with an $8 million guarantee payment and gave up its deal to distribute Moritzs film, the submarine thriller Hunter Killer, starring Gerard Butler.
Until there is a resolution to their issues I have hope we will see Hunter because Tooley left Relativity and formed Tooley Productions and is listed as one of the producers behind Hunter
HeadHunter is languishing -I don't know if GBa238se produced it I've only seen Zero Gravity Production as the producing entity- their last film The Accountant was distributed by WB
I don't know of Gerry having any movie out soon? so all the vitriol of his personal breakup being aimed at his non-existent movie premiere is crazy, right?
it most certainly is. Geostorm is being released in Oct after numerous pushbacks but it was due to WB changing regimes and accomodating Ben Affleck hehe!!!
Hardy has done so much in a rather short period of time. Like Cb68rowe he wasn't the best romantic lead but who cared? He brings it each time out, oscillating between cinema and the telly not caring what the medium is. Wish Butler would follow his lead.
Million Dollar Baby was more than a sports/boxing film- but that's Eastwood- he lets his films breathe
Den of Thieves is supposedly underway filming in Atlanta but according to JJ, he's out and about town- yeah I know one isn't filming 24/7 still as a producer you would think otherwise-
Sometimes I think I am rather harsh in evaluating Butler. I know so little about him. Maybe because other actors whose work I like to varying degrees have spoiled me to some extent
Locke is my favorite Hardy film

Annie,
That is so sad! all the employees canned over the holidays?!! must known it was coming. As I'm sure Gerry did too. He's the overly-emotional type who needs a lot of support when he needs support??? Got to admit, now I know this, okay he really did need some support about that time in NOLA when his movie's being reshot (Geostorm) because it's probably incomprehensible as the logline makes it sound (more Gods of Egypt, which was actually entertaining in sort of an over-the-top I can't believe this crazy beep way!!)
So that's a lowish point, but someone big guns came in to save the day, and finance re-shoots. But Gerry knew about this Relativity shipwreck too poor guy, actually feel sorry for him, which for movie stars one usually do not feel. But they're just people. And everybody's worried about him being in photos with his ex in NOLA? Who cares?!
100 people just lost their jobs. Matters little. These are big disasters.
Gerry's like the rest of us, and does what he can to keep his beep together when things go south. -
joe16vind — 9 years ago(January 24, 2017 09:23 PM)
keepersBurns,
it's why I think Butler is loyal to a fault. It wouldn't hurt for him to seek out a director whom he knew was casting for an upcoming film and have a power lunch.
Paul Walker did exactly that for Flags of Our Fathers- he reached out to Eastwood and while his part was small it was intregral to the film!
that's what Butler should be doing- I don't care who he is with- first time I knew he had a gf was at work last Jan-Febish- one of the girls told me an article was up on JJ about Renner and on the side was a picture of Butler. I had her click on it and we both said we will pool our money and get them a room!- If that's what he thinks is what a celebrity is - I seem to recall him saying something about wanting to be famous, then fine. But as the actor William Hurt has said, "I like to think it's about the work". And it should be.
I have seen little films such as Vigil/Careful he might hear you/Loving/Yol/The Butcher Boy/Second Best with actors I hardly knew, giving me some of the best performances ever. In this regard I think Keanu's best work is in Hardball. Thought Butler was fine in Coriolanus under Rafe's direction. MGP is my favorite Butler potrayal

Amy is Gerry's PA - personal assistant - nice looking 40ish long blonde hair lady you've seen her in photos? sometimes mistaken on YouTube for his 'new girl.' Amy should know him by now, it must be a decade she's his PA.
Gerry said his ex-girlfriend was the one who knew him best, then blurted out he didn't know why they broke up. That was during the interview with Gerry and Angela Bassett for London Fallen. Angela was talking about her husband being the one who could always help motivate her because he knew her so well.
Shortly after that (probably that day), Gerry got back together with his ex. So, I was not surprised they got back together. Seems Angela accidentally planted the seed! She is a fantastic actress in everything she does. Helps to have somebody who's got your back.
Too bad most of us never figure out WHO IS THAT PERSON?!
Video was posted on this board by Computer Bunny I think, so everybody saw it?
That was my takeaway.
