TUESDAY AM UPDATE: First, you should know that Jeff Berg and his new Resolution Agency colleagues thought this caption contest was hilarious. Like, duh, they know how old they are. They also know that they’re wiser and richer and badder than all you wusses who complained it was ageist. That said, I’d advise the four to hire a good stylist - geez, any stylist – next time their photo is taken. As for the contest itself, the captions were so effing funny I laughed until I cried. (Why can’t SNL hire you Borscht Belt comics?) And the winners are:
FIRST PLACE
Disney wonders how it will break it to the original Star Wars actors that they won’t be in Episode 7.
SECOND PLACE
We’re the four guys who believe McG can actually tell a story.
THIRD PLACE
“Dear Gentlemen, Thank you for your interest in Kappa Alpha. We regret to inform you that we have no interest in sponsoring you at Adams. In the future we recommend you not include a group photo.”
HONORABLE MENTION
The first thing they resolved is the age-old question: Jerry’s Deli, or Cantors???
Asked about competing with younger agents, Berg said, “What? I can’t hear you. Please speak louder.”
Resolution’s first order of business was an attempt to put the gay rumors to rest. Yes, it turns out, they all use Ben Gay.
FRIDAY 10 PM: A rival tenpercentery sent over this authentic photo of the brand new Resolution Agency together at Pollstar Live! for the ”Meet The Agents” networking session with most of the concert promoters from the U.S. and abroad gathered there Thursday afternoon. (L-R: Jeff Berg, Jeff Franklin, Steve Schenck, Terry Rhodes.) I’m speechless. You’re not. So I’ll name the Top 3 winners on Monday Tuesday for this latest Deadline Caption Contest which we post from time to time:
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

Resolution Agency – Starring the Beach Boys
I’m a 25 year old writer and I would happily entrust my career with these guys over some 24 year old whose parents money and connections put them where they are.
Well then don’t go to Resolution where Remington Franklin was named agent with ZERO clients because his daddy is funding the company
Does anyone else find this mockery disturbing? They’re older. So what. Does that mean they can’t represent clients and identify decent projects. If they were four black guys, would there be a caption contest?
No. No one else finds it disturbing.
Yes, it’s lame and disturbing and, worst of all, predictable. Like the young clowns are doing such great things with the industry? Age doesn’t matter, ability matters. Give me accomplished grown ups any day over adolescent incompetents (my peers) whose only perceived advantage is claiming less days on the planet.
i find it disturbing. even though i love nikki to death, i doubt she’d be very happy if a picture like this and a mockery of her was to appear on the net. doesn’t seem a fair shot.
It is not disturbing because Berg deserves this mockery. And the people he has working with him deserve to know how the town will view them. Nobody ever said this was a nice business. Deal with it! As for me – laughing my ass off…!!!
Weird how people compare ageism to racism… it’s much worse. Ageism assumes you are ineffective, regardless of race. The moment you know all there is to know in this business, you become a threat to the young who no longer consider that knowledge necessary, and are embarrassed by your ability to draw from all that experience. They want to interact with people who share their limits, and won’t make them aware of their inferiority complex.
I’d rather young agents took two minutes here to vent their egos than waste COUNTLESS HOURS doing those nauseating videos for staff meetings. At least this doesn’t cost their clients anything.
Exactly. God forbid people with actual experience dare to do business with the 25 year old MBAs who think corporate synergy is the key to understanding story and character.
Agree with Tom Baker! These ageism comments are disturbing and uncalled for. No need for such a lame post just because it’s end-of-day Friday.
“Say boys, what do you make of this Al Jolson fella?”
No Commission for Old Men.
Best Exotic Marigold Agency
“Resolution’s first order of business was an attempt to put the gay rumors to rest. Yes, it turns out, they all use Ben Gay.”
OR
“Low Resolution”
OR
“The cast of The Expendables 3 begins shooting in LA.”
EVERYONE LOOK THEY’RE NOT 35!!! LOOK!!! NOT 35!!! HAHAHAHAHA ISN’T THAT HILARIOUS THEY’RE NOT 35 LOL!!! TAKE THAT OLDIES!!! YOUNG PEOPLE 4-EVA!!!
“Dear Gentlemen, Thank you for your interest in Kappa Alpha. We regret to inform you that we have no interest in sponsoring you at Adams. In the future we recommend you not include a group photo.”
Yes… they are older, but they are still bad ass. Haters hate!

Kickin’ It Old Skool
This topic is beyond stupid and so are the captions. I thought age discrimination was over but I guess I was wrong. So pathetic you all are. When you are their age will you think these are funny?
Legends of the Fall
What’s the difference between these guys and the oldies who run the studios?
Universal smells like an old folks home and Warners is like going to a mausoleum.
At New Line it looks like a strange wax museum and Fox smells like Old Spice.
In a town where the elderly like Spielberg are overly-celebrated for making a movie with unlimited resources this doesn’t seem out of place.
Nikki — I know your intentions are for fun, but this post is highly insensitive and inappropriate. You are poking fun of four people because they are old. Would you poke fun at four people if they were black, gay, chinese, hispanic, etc??? I don’t think so.
Unfortunately, the entertainment industry is disrespectful of the elderly. It is such a shame. My grandfather practiced law until he was 99, and he was incredibly respected by his peers until the day he died.
This post is just wrong.
And PS — for the record, there are far more people at that new company under the age of 40 than there are over 40.
You probably work there or are trying to get a job there. Relax…it’s just poking fun at some over inflated egos. It’s no different than what the press does to all the talent. God bless you Nikki – I think it’s great!
GRAVE NEW WORLD.
Bubby, who’re the top concert acts? The Stones… The Eagles… Roger Waters. We’re contemporaries – we can relate.
