Gerry's Night - TIFF Machine Gun Preacher Premier


He looks happy and excited and is displaying his usual enthusiasm and showmanship for the fans that have gathered there to see him.

I  hope the reviews for the film cap off the evening on a positive note and that word of mouth translates to a good audience for this movie.

Here are some of my favorite photos from this promotional blitz that started in Chicago:

"See all the fans, Mum?  I think I've finally arrived!"

Unposed and Natural Human

The look that launched a thousand sighs?

Pensive
"What does all of this mean now?"

  1. Zoni, I love everything you write. Such a delightful change from the IMDb Board. I don't comment, but I always read your wonderful observations. Gerry is such an interesting subject, and this has been such a fun week. The Coriolanus press conference topped everything off brilliantly.

    Best regards,
    MORNINGSTAR

  2. Thanks for the comment. I think it's been a rewarding week for him too.

    I liked the Howard Stern interview today too. I think Stern was totally smitten with him and he shared it with his audience. Apart from his usual raunch factor, I think the enthusiastic endorsement of the movie bodes well and, this appearance by Gerry, a good counterbalance for the promotion as a religious movie in the churches by Sam.

    What is it about my profile you don't understand? I am a woman of a "certain age" (which are code words for "over 50") I won't say how far over that mark because people would automatically label me further and put me in a box I don't fit. I am very youthful in spirit and outlook on life and, thanks to good genes and a commitment I make every day to being healthy and looking good, the outside manages to match the outlook most of the time.

    I love who I am and the way I look now and so I post as this youthful alter ego I call Zoni, who represents my 25 year old self. I would not change places with her for the world, though, unless I could keep the knowledge and confidence I've picked up over the years.
