GBPhanatic Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) I think Gerry is fully aware that his pic is being taken. I believe that whoever "delivered" the car to him is taking the pic. It's a promotional and the celebs probably get to drive them for a while free of charge. My uncle was in the car business (Cadillac) for most of his life and this was common. Then the cars are put back on the lot, offered at reduced "executive driven" prices and I wish T still knew Dr. Z and we could get the very one Gerry's driving! I'd tell them they don't even have to detail it. I want it to smell like leather, coffee and Jo Malone! "SIGH" Delene By the way, Frannie, I love your "tree hugger" siggy!

AbandonThought Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well, my opinion is just one of many, and I wasn't criticizing the inclusion of the pics on the site or the use in siggies, just explaining my perception! I definitely don't think that the pictures were taken by those delivering the car because if that were the case I think they would have had Gerry pose by the car. Plus, they seem to be taken from a distance away. While it does seem that he knows he's being photographed, his visage doesn't make me think that he was in the loop before the pictures were snapped.

phoenixgirl Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I don't think Gerry looks that upset at all. He has more a WTF look on his face. If Admin thought Gerry looked upset and angry, the pictures would not be here. I think he looks incredibly hot! Suzie He does have a WTF look on his face, but I'm with Steph in that it's my opinion that it looks like he's none to happy. However, they're out there and we get to enjoy looking at how gorgeous he is. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetheeloquence Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I agree with you, Steph. My first thought was that he looked unhappy. I am so tired of pictures of his everyday life -- that should be PRIVATE -- being photographed and spread around... ...here he is on the beach -- private ...here he is getting a coffee -- not news ...here he is walking out a door -- so what ...here he is walking his dog -- private ...here he is looking angry because he can barely breath! The poor guy is more than generous with interviews, planned public appearances, photoshoots, premieres, charity events...the list goes on forever. Why can't he have the little luxury of walking out a door without ducking from a camera? I love pictures of Gerry as much as anyone. But I loathe the pictures where Gerry obviously is looking angry being followed. The man is overly gracious and kind all the time. But we know he resents the paps, he's been clear about that! This is definately NOT aimed at any Gals. But I feel -- and this is just my opinion, but very important to me -- that we should not support, in any way, pictures that Gerry himself would be disappointed, surprised or offended to see on a site that is meant to be a respectful tribute to him. He's brought all of us, and countless others, so much pleasure. We owe him our consideration, don't we? Okay, there's my vent for the month of April... Thanks for listening...back to your regular programming... Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyfran Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I agree with Suz....I think he looks incredibly hot and as I said before...If I thought this was an invasion of his privacy type of thing I would never have made the siggy! I just don't see him looking upset! You guys are beginning to make me feel guilty ....but I "aint" that guilty...the sig is staying!

You know I'm home girlfriend! frannie Thank you Linda.... Dear, Dear Frannie...my words were NOT aimed at your siggy AT ALL ...I am on my iPhone so I can't see your siggy anyway. I had my reaction when I saw the photos this morning. I may be overly sensitive about paparazzi photos...for me it is unforgiveable for someone to make a living as a member of the paparazzi. It's one of the lowest forms of earning a dollar in my book. My professional background is in magazine writing, editing and production. I would do pretty much any other legal job before I would begin to consider to make a living in that manner. I realize others may find my sensitivity extreme. I just try to put myself in a celebrity's place. And I definately do not prescribe to the theory that it's "part of being a celebrity." Anyway, again, these are my beliefs in general and not aimed at any individuals. And Frannie...you KNOW I love, love, love your siggies!!!

GBPhanatic Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 And I definately do not prescribe to the theory that it's "part of being a celebrity." I so agree and I don't subscribe to that theory either. Delene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heISmyGspot Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 You do realize that you're not being forced to ogle those images which you deem upsetting, right? Do you realize you don't HAVE to go in the gallery at all? For those "so tired" of seeing all of these "offensive" images, there are plenty other Gerry sites out there these days.You don't have to subject yourself to our obviously horrific errors in judgment. Just sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonThought Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Oh woah... Isn't this what discussion is supposed to be about? Some people don't think he looks ticked off, and some people do? Different opinions, and we're all entitled to discuss them, right? I don't think anybody's feelings were getting hurt. The people who dislike the pictures should have just as much right to say so as the people who like them. I think Leslie was voicing an opinion on a larger issue, going beyond these specific pics (one that I, and I know many others, happen to agree with her about). I think it was misconstrued and taken a little too seriously. Leslie, correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, just trying to cool the fires here a bit...

For those "so tired" of seeing all of these "offensive" images, there are plenty other Gerry sites out there these days.You don't have to subject yourself to our obviously horrific errors in judgment. Just sayin...FYI...believe it or not I have NEVER gone into the gallery on Gals. But I have seen paparazzi photos when opening Gals at the left side of the main screen...the photos of Gerry on the beach when he was being ridiculed for being out of shape is one example. And I did not post this to be "mean" or criticize any individuals, as I have mentioned three times now. But if Gerry were to open the site on one of those days and the first thing he saw were those pictures of him on the beach, don't you think it would have come as a surprise to him? I'm not saying Gerry would hate us...he doesn't have that kind of nature. But I still believe he would wonder why those photos were on the site.Furthermore...I did not mention any errors in judgement...you used the word "horrific." Not me. Finally...you do realize that everytime a paparazzi photo is "picked up" and posted somewhere else that serves as reinforcement for them to continue to take those photos because they see it as a "niche in the market" that they feel they can fill...for money. So they continue. Perhaps, and we have no definitive way of knowing this, but just perhaps part of the reason Gerry is so generous to his fans where photos and public appearances are concerned is part of an effort to render the market for paparazzi photos unneeded. If I am not allowed to express my hopes and opinions on paparazzi photos on Gals, then please excuse my confusion. This is a concern I have not just for Gals but for all fan sites for all celebrities. If no one makes an effort to change this, it surely never will. Maybe I'm unrealistic, but I find it discouraging. And I RARELY voice my opinion on Gals. I enjoy those on the site very much. It is a great group and I have made friends here. But my chief purpose as a member of Gals is to recognize and thank Gerry for his fine work in films, and to learn more about him and share his accomplishments with others in support of Gerry.

framolamdu Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Each and every pic that is put in the gallery is done so on a case by case basis and alot of behind the scenes things are taken into consideration which Dayna explained before. It was Admins/MS decision that those few pics were suitable and if you look in our gallery there are plenty pics where he has a WTF look on his face. I think this site and the people running it have been doing it long enough to know what is deemed suitable and respectful to post but if you want to dispute our judgement then voice your concerns in A PM to Admins as publicly doing it is a violation of guidelines I believe Moira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybrsal Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I like the pictures myself. He looks great and what harm is there of a picture of him getting in a car or whatever he is doing? I don't see any harm done. We may not get many pictures for a while with him in Serbia. Since I am a "gallery ho", I have seen most of the pictures of Gerry. I've seen him in many different moods. Sometimes, he even sends hand signals. These pictures appear harmless. They're are all over the internet. If we have pictures of him with girls, and with Lolita, why not a car? *shrugs shoulders*. Have I said he looks great in the green shirt? Oh yeah, nice car... Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattheGerryKat Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi Gals! I missed you all very much. I moved and now living in a relatively empty apartment in Toronto but enjoying my freedom. Thank you for being my main source of all things Gerry, especially his upcoming films and his comings and goings of late. I've been out of the loop so I'm grateful for you.
