The Unofficial Gerard Butler Pity And Sympathy Thread


So here's the deal - in 'Cradle of Life', Angelina Jolie's leading man is presented with a choice that could not be any more clearcut, or black and white, or obvious. Either he chooses Lara/Angelina, or he chooses a box that must never be opened. Come on, Gerard, this is an easy one, on three, one, two...

HE CHOOSES THE BOX.

Dude, What The Deuce???

End of movie, they each go their separate ways.


Two years later, Jolie does another big action movie, this time with Brad Pitt. Pitt's character must also make a choice. He has to choose between loving Jolie's character or killing her. Again, this could not be more simpler. Let's see what HE decides to do...

He decides to love her. And within months, they're happily married. The crowd goes wild.


As for Butler, he's been looking for another hit since probably '300', which opened five years ago this weekend.

Dude, she could've been YOURS!!!

In my mind, I'm picturing the poor guy with Kuni (Gedde Watanabe's character from Weird Al Yankovic's cult hit 'UHF') yelling 'You So Stupid' in his ear all day.

And oddly enough, I pity the poor sap.

Who else is with me on the pity thing?

I always thought that Gerard Butler was one of the hottest sexiest men on the planet. Watching the movie tonight I was struck by the thought that even though Brad is a good looking guy if Angelina and Gerard had ever hooked up the planet might have exploded due to their combined hotness.

But then I remember the sad sad fact that both Gerard and Brad dated Jennifer Aniston and I am left shaking my head in bewilderment. I just don't get her appeal. In fact I completely blame her for Gerard's involvement in all those silly rom-com's he was in. (Katherine Hiegl gets her share of the blame too.) They completely neutered his sex appeal and manliness.

Yeah he was smokin' in this, and their kissing scenes were on fire. I would bet that they got it on in real life as well - how could they not? Angelina apparently did have one or two *beep* buddies around that time too - maybe he was one.

I don't know why Gerry took the romcom route - he would have been a better action hero, and we have so few decent ones these days.

I simply am not there...

My pity for Gerard has reached a new low after reading reviews for his new Playing For Keeps. Who would have predicted, especially after 300, so many lackluster movies.
