Quoting what I wrote, February the 28th:
"...for almost 3 long years I have been hopelessly devoted to a guy with a burr and a mask and a passion for scaring the living daylights out of darling young sopranos (...) [and then] this Charming Scot went and did "Dear Frankie" which made him not the least bit less adorable; and it made loving him even harder, cause he's so so so far away and unattainable. (...) And well. Gerry in three words; georgeos, talented, charismatic. He is, of course, in addition intelligent, brilliant, sophisticated, brave, stylish, mysterious, funny, even hilarious, a fantastic singer, a fantastic, eh, fantastic-in-general, plus - of what Emmy and Angelina know and the rest of us would like to know - kissing him probably feels divine. (...) Thence, we journey on, and may he PLEASE bump into me in the street some day very soon!"
It took some time, but now it's finally happened:
[120307 - after a late at night visit to imdb.com]
My favourite actor, in all the universes that exist, Gerard James Butler, along with his new film "300", top the Box Office ratings in the US!!! The World of Movie-Audiences has, in other words, eventually and at last got to discover Gerry. About time, too!! This is, of course, no more than Gerry deserves, but it's also a nice nod to Frank Miller whose success is truly well-earnt. Go Sin City! But, seriously, none of us had imagined this...we thought this new "epic" would be yet another "Atilla"-nappy-sappy-story. And then what do we get? Gerry and loads of other awesomely-looking, bearded, übermacho HUNKS! strutting about in their undies; whilst screaming and fighting and killing and oh! what a brilliant film! Even the cute guy from Love Actually is in it; the one Laura Linney is stupid enough to dump! According to those who have seen more than myself (teasers, cuts and clips - and pics: of Gerry in his undies!), there's a lot of excellent dialogue and an impelling, moving story to go along with the eye-candy too. Whoa! Action-flick of the year, and it's got GERRY all over it! What a day to be a fan...I feel lucky!

Plus, "300" indeed managed to succeed where "Casino Royale" did not; it did get to actually top the ticket-sales and beat all the other, competing new releases. CR was, as we all know, outrun by no other than the Queen-inspired "Happy Feet". LOL! That's a small kick in the shin (hehe) to all those who voted against Gerry as the new James Bond. Cos - look here, everyone, he proved even better than that! Now, take a hint: fire Craig the Clown after one more film and hire the Butler! Daniel is sweet, I'm sure, but now he's even refused to pose in his swimming shorts because he felt over-exposed - and no chance Gerry would make such a statement, not after "300"; he's too proud! In fact, he is the one man in the film-branch today, who can pull off roles like that without blinking, and without looking pathetic, instead he makes the most shallow character seem wise and complex, and - I bet he's sleeping pretty well these days! Dreaming sweet dreams of future legend Gerry-fans, myself included, can now allow themselves a big, self-confident, self-righteous GRIN - we got our vindication at last. We were right. And what a wonderful, wonderful feeling that is!
Justice triumphs! And so does Gerry!
(And he's lookin' goooooood!!!)
