7/12 - Ischia Film & Music Festival

[Erik's Ebony Eyes]

I'm willing to bet that Gerry was there for at least one day. He just ducked the cameras.

And I'll repeat this is all speculation.

madamina,

Does the Italian press do much general coverage of this particular festival?

I am just curious...

Surely not as much coverage as Venice Film Festival gets, still it gets some coverage on newspapers and tv. You see, it's not a *huge* event (couldn't be, Ischia is a small place on an island off Naples), and it's both a film and music festival (they gave awards to the likes of Laura Pausini and Andrea Bocelli this year).

You know what?

We are missing seeing Gerry in new pictures!!! WE are so addicted that we are showing all the symptoms

MJ, I see your point, and understand that - I too like to see new piccies of him (altho - and now I know most of you will hate me for saying this - I think he's more telegenic than photogenic, id est looks better in person than in piccies. Anyways, that's just my opinion.), getting to know what he's been up to, etc.

Still, I also think that creating the frenzy out of *nothing* - like saying "oooh, he might show up there since Hilary Swank and/or Raoul Bova are there too" - is pretty pointless, and very irritating, too (FYI, Raoul Bova is Italian, and is basically expected to show up to any film festival held in Italy...I often see him walking around in Rome as, well, he lives here, but does that mean Gerry is going to show up here, too? I don't think so.) - that's the same kind of frenzy that gossip/tabloid papers create, and, again, most of the time out of nothing, and that I just hate that.

If and when Gerard *actually* shows up anywhere, I'll be happy to see new piccies, if he's keen on to being taken piccies of himself (and no, I don't like seeing him all grumpy and rather p*ssed off in a limo, sexy as he can look even when looking grumpy - 'cos he's a person, and a p*ssed off person is never a good thing.). Beside that, I'm just happy knowing he's working on a few good movies I'll surely go and see, and knowing he's doing well. That's a healthy attitude to maintain, I reckon.

Madamina: You make a good point about the "speculation" of Gerry appearing just because someone he once worked with was there. Part of the fun for me of signing on the website is finding new pics there . . . a nice surprise. But, I don't count on something new every day, but enjoy them when they are posted.

I once visited Rome as part of a European tour and I must say I fell in love with it. So much history and beauty. Maybe I'll get there again some day.

Anyway, it kind of amazes me how you just want Gerry to show up *everywhere*, only to start going "oooh, poor luv he looks so tired!" as soon as you see piccies of the event. That's a bit of a nonsense, IMHO.

So true, so true!

Health and happiness to him wherever he is!

Wasn't the Ischia film festival held the last week of June? That is what their web site says.

Nope, it was this past week, it ended today.

'Nuff said.
