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. -

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.
