>>559 No he wouldn't part with WME. He probably feels like a bona fide star by signing with them. They are huge. Beardy was from the 'talent' mtg. team, i.e., PR without calling it PR.

The GGs are more an indication that the overseas press in Hollywood like him, or I thought that was how those worked. Don't think that parlays into anything like clout or bankability. I'll whisper this so the veranda doesn't hear: I don't think he has any pull in HW. on a scale of 1 to 10, he's at a 2-3. He got Thor as a lucky break, helped by his association with Sir Ken. That got him the Avengers part by default. OLLA and CP had other actors in those roles before him. Just not a lot of pull. His biggest roles, screen time wise, have been in tv productions for the BBC.

Actual question from a mother group mom: what are you doing for baby's first Memorial Day?

My answer: nothing.

Her: shock and multiple memory rich suggestions.

Me: silent resentment accompanied by disinterested nods.

I'm convinced she has her child's first turd in a box in the freezer...or bronzed on the mantle.

Happy Memorial Day!
