I'll be back on the 31st, so maybe he'll still be around. Not that that'd do me much good... I'm sure I have a 1 in a million chance of bumping into him. And if I did, what would I say? LOL. But at least I could breathe the Butler air! Steph

4/17/12 - Gerry in 'advanced talks' to star in "Manhunt"
AbandonThought replied to becozy's topic in New /Future Projects
This project sounds really cool. I'm a lot more optimistic about this film than some of the others I've heard he's attached himself to lately. Let it happen! And I wonder if they'll actually be filming in NC...? Steph -
3/29 - Gerry in 'talks' for "Motor City"
AbandonThought replied to becozy's topic in Motor City (Production Halted)
Well, the interviewer stated that it's a 75 page script with ALMOST no dialogue. The idea was a sort of "silent" movie, but I expect they've added in a bit. Action movies are light on the dialogue in general, but an action movie wouldn't work as a pure "silent" movie. I'm sure that the producers realize this. We've seen stoic or completely silent characters in other action movies and never blinked an eye (anyone remember Sphinx from Gone in 60 Seconds?). I think this sounds like an awesome project. Gerry needs to do more action movies. He's gotten bogged down in two types of movies lately tha -
'S not fair!! Why does Gerry always plan his trips to the UK when I already have a ticket back to the US?! I suppose this time he didn't exactly pick the date, but still! You'd think being here for a year I'd catch him on this island just ONCE! Steph

Gerry's Guinness TV advert found!
AbandonThought replied to becozy's topic in Hot New Gerry Pics/Vids
That was awesome!! And I much preferred the rugged outdoorsy Gerry to the fancypants city Gerry. LOL. Thanks for finding and sharing, Cheryl!! Steph -
I wonder if Coriolanus is going being given more emphasis in Europe. Here in Glasgow I've seen it advertised at the theatres. Steph

Release Date Moved to Christmas Day
AbandonThought replied to Hobbes's topic in Playing For Keeps (aka Playing the Field)
I hope that this is a rational decision to try to get better box office numbers, and not an indication that this film is being back-burnered. With all the talent that signed onto it, I thought it had potential. I was hoping to make it out to LA for the March premiere, so I'm a bit disappointed with this delay. Steph -
I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to compare Gerry to Tigger. That seems spot on to me!! Steph

12/19 - NEAR TRAGEDY AT MAVERICK'S
AbandonThought replied to Paisleyscot's topic in Hot New Gerry Pics/Vids
It sounds like they were taking what they thought was every precaution, and that it was, overall, a calm day. True, they could have insisted that the stunt double be in for the distance shots and filmed Gerry at a tamer location for the closeups, but I don't blame Gerry if he wanted authenticity. From this article, it seems like this was an event that nobody was expecting. Steph -
12/19 - Gerard Butler Suffers Mav's Hold-Down
AbandonThought replied to zanyzombie's topic in Hot New Gerry News
This is scary, but it's totally Gerry. He always pushes the envelope. I believe it's the same instinct that causes him to be a bit reckless in filming (and in life, for that matter!) that has also helped him to become such a success. I think the fact that he's had a number of close calls but has walked away from them insists that he's walking the right side of that fine line. He's a thrill-seeker and does some crazy things sometimes, but I trust his judgment and I would never wish him to change. He just wouldn't be Gerry then. Steph -
12/11 - New Playing The Field Poster
AbandonThought replied to Paisleyscot's topic in Hot New Gerry Pics/Vids
So gorgeous! Though I have to say I wish Dennis Quaid were on there in the background somewhere. I can't wait to see this one!!! Steph -
12/10 - Sharp Interview: The Art of Manliness
AbandonThought replied to Paisleyscot's topic in Hot New Gerry News
This was a fabulous article, and Gerry seemed really positive during it. Even when the interviewer asked him things about whether 300 has negatively affected his career and how he balances his public and private life, he was still very sunny about it all. That's very good to see. We know he works himself to the bone, but it's great to be reminded that he's doing what he loves and has no regrets. This is the Gerry I know and love! Steph -
Crap. I missed this! I walk past Big Issue vendors nearly everyday. I wish I'd known sooner that he was in it! I'll have to see tomorrow if they happen to have any from last week left. Steph

Thanks everyone. It's been so hard. Much harder than I expected, even though I knew full-well how much I loved Milo and what a big part of my life he was. Things are slowly normalizing, but I definitely still have moments where I miss him and get sad. Or, I'll see a photo of him and just have a hard time believing that he's really gone. I'm still mad that that was all the life he got. I have to believe that there's an afterlife for him, and that he's found a group of nice puppies up there that he's having a ball with. Hope he knows how much I love him and still think of him. Steph

Hi Gals, Through various topics, posts, pictures, and facebook updates, many of you are familiar with my sweet puppy, an Australian Shepherd mix named Milo. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my baby late last week. His human aggression and separation anxiety got to the point where it was no longer manageable. Ever since a few months after I adopted him, Milo has had troubles around humans. First, he had issues with some men, and then it became some men and some women, and then all strangers when they got near or tried to touch him. Last week, I had a friend come to visit me here in Glas

Frannie- Truly sorry for you and your family's loss. Peggy was a wonderful lady. Hugs, Stephanie

AbandonThought replied to Catwoman's topic in Much Ado About Nothing...
Well, I guess it's easy to be blazé now that the storm has passed and wasn't bad in my area, but hurricanes are another thing that don't scare me. We had a direct hit by a Category 3 here in Raleigh in 1996. Call me crazy (again Cat!), but I found it fun rather than scary. The less fun part was the 2 weeks without power when we had to work to clear the 20 trees that fell down in our yard. LOL. I was hoping for a bit more from Irene. We only lost power for like an hour. *Sigh* Steph -

Elissa, my car doesn't take 4 hours to get to Houston. Ren That's because you have that hot little sports car, Ren! Steph -
8/25 - Gerard Butler takes his pug Lolita for a walk
AbandonThought replied to Paisleyscot's topic in Hot New Gerry Pics/Vids
He might be able to control her verbally but what about another, bigger animal that might be on the loose or a jogger or someone on a bike? Not only could she get in someone elses way and cause them injury but be injured or worse herself and Gerry would be held liable. At least if she's on a leash and another dog, jogger or cyclist approaches, he has control to reel her in out of harms way. And it looks like he's walking her along where there is a roadway too, the numpty! That's very dangerous! Dogs, even well trained, can bolt out in to the street after squirrels. Any dog, especially he -
8/25 - Gerard Butler takes his pug Lolita for a walk
AbandonThought replied to Paisleyscot's topic in Hot New Gerry Pics/Vids
Eh, if he can control her with just voice commands, I don't mind him not using a leash on her. Just as long as he always has one with him so that if anything unexpected happened (or if a cop came around to write him a ticket) he can clip it on her fast. OMG Lisa, Romancing the Stone was an AWESOME movie! I can't believe you don't like it! Still, I don't want it remade. But if they had to remake it, I can think of no one better to fill Michael Douglas's shoes than Gerry. Katherine Heigl would not be my choice though. Steph -
East Coast Midatlantic GALS check in.

We felt it at intensity 5 in Raleigh, NC. It was neat; I've always wanted to be in an earthquake! At first I thought my Dad was jumping up and down on the stairs. Steph -
MGP - Movie Theater listings and relase dates
AbandonThought replied to becozy's topic in Machine Gun Preacher
SOOOOO many places were ignored on this list! Like... the east coast! It's only showing in NY, MD, and GA. So that means for someone like me in NC (if I were still going to be here at that time... yay!), I'd have to travel at least 6 hours just for a friggin' movie? This better not be all there is. And I'll scream if it doesn't get a UK release. Steph p.s.- Okay, well I also missed PA and Mass on the list of east coast release, but that still provides no help for those of us from VA to SC!
