Just needing to give a little(or a lot) of Austy Love today.
Here he is with a look that gives the strongest, a weakness in the knees. The power of those eyes.
Full of life, he can be the strong silent one when he needs to be. This does not mean he doesn't have a lot to say. Just that much is said in other ways and for others to hear.
If TDAT was your first chance to see Austin, you were scratching you head, - him? Seriously? Yeah he is cute and he did give some great longing looks, but seriously?
And then it happened.
Time, talent, maturity, finding the Big Love.
Everything coming together.
Austin transformed.
"Time, talent, maturity, finding the Big Love"...and losing the Big Love?
ReplyDeleteGreat Austin pic, love the hair!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Big Love is lost at all. It is just behind closed doors at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHere are the pics of Jake and Reese. As much as I support Austy love, we cannot ignore reality.
ReplyDeleteI am so hurt by Jake’s tacky and tasteless behaviour that I am resistant to put Austin on a pedestal. I am sure his own showmance will appear soon. It’s like bumping my head against the wall of reality. The romantic and idealistic side of toothy is over (or maybe that side never existed and was created by Ted). I still think Jake and Austin had/have a relationship but I refuse to idealise them again. Sadly, IMO Toothy was an utopia.
ReplyDeleteHere is something interesting.
ReplyDeleteMonday night did a search of vital records for CA. To see if there was a baby there would have be paperwork filed with the state records.
Found a listing for a Austin Don Nichols (right age too), but didn't pay the processing fee to get the report at the time. Now I am kicking myself. Why?
Because going back yesterday to vital records site, the entry is now suddenly gone.
Austin and Jennifer/ Sophia were obvious attemts at bearding so unfortunately I can't celebrate him. Austin doesn't really have anything to promote at the moment so hopefully we'll be spared from his performance.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it would be kind of funny that they both suddenly had new girlfriends after three years of singlehood.
I'm trying to look at Jake and Reese as a real couple but I'm not reading any intimacy in the pictures (even the kiss). Wishful thinking perhaps but... bltb, do you have anything for us on body language?
OMG!
ReplyDeleteSeriously SK?! I really really wish you'd paid that fee. We would all have contributed :-)
ReplyDeleteHow could records be "gone"? Is that legal?
ReplyDeleteI think Jake and Austin are damned if they do or they don't.
ReplyDeleteThey are damned if they don't get seen together. They are damned if they do.
They are damned for not being seen with women, they are damned if they do.
I still think Jake's behavior is "I am just following orders" but doing it in such a way, that he is waving the red flag for someone to come on and out me. I think he feels this is the only way he can come out.
There have been bigger stars to back down to HW's pressure about coming out. I think he might trying to find the only way he thinks could work for letting him be out. I am not saying it is logical or it is the right way, but it might the only light he sees.
GC --
ReplyDeleteI think the access to the files has been made more difficult let's say.
Hopeful -
ReplyDeleteI agree I don't see any intimacy in the pictures either. Actually I think the kiss is interesting. Jake's back to the camera, you assume they are kissing, but you don't really see it. It is a interesting angle to give the camera. It is clear that they know they are on display and that the cameras are capturing it.
"Found a listing for a Austin Don Nichols (right age too), but didn't pay the processing fee to get the report at the time."
ReplyDeleteSo this listing could be about anything official that needs to go through the state? I know nothing about US state laws.
Vital records are births, deaths, marriages, etc.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if domestic partnership is included in that listing of vital records though.
SK might not be the only person to think of doing this......
ReplyDeleteThat was my point GC. I think other people have looking, that is why it isn't there now.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, the baby info is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI completely disagree that Jake is just following orders and wants to be out. He is an intelligent adult and he knows the business. He chose to sell himself as a commodity with a showmance over having integrity as an actor. I don’t think his action can be justified as just ‘following orders’. I know it is difficult to survive in Hollywood but there are other ways. He has talent and everything to be a star. He doesn’t need a charade and pulling this tacky photo opportunity to help his career. I don’t think he wanted to come out or be outed. If that was the case, he could have followed a different path that doesn’t make a definite statement of what image he wants to project to the general public suddenly making out with Reese in Rome the same weekend as his movie flopped.
SK you should change your name to Tantalus after that particularly tantalising bit of info!
ReplyDelete"The plan is, Boyfriend Tile will then, legally (and far, far away from pokin' press types like yours truly) be listed as papa—when, in fact, our beloved Tooth just may be the correct daddio."
ReplyDeleteTed March 2007
Vey interesting, special.
ReplyDeleteBearding with Reese 2 days after their baby was born? How disgusting is that??
ReplyDeleteHW is bigger and more powerful than most will ever know. There is more that happens behind closed doors than anyone can imagine. That is were HW works, not on the pages of magazines.
ReplyDeleteHW runs on secrets, favors, and connections. It is brokering those on all levels from the lowest to the highest that makes HW go.
It is a weird symbiosis, HW, gossip, stars, they all need each other.
Many think the stars have the power, very very few do. The real power lies with those behind the scenes, the names and faces of those are that might be small print on the movie marquee. Those are the ones with the real power, those are who can make or break a career. Those are the ones who call the shots. And those are the ones who will step over who ever they must.
About the vital records site:
ReplyDeleteAll I am going to say is that finding the file being there one day and being gone with 2 days. A little more than odd.
Come on Ted, tell us if there is a baby. I thought a baby would be cute...before all this shit happening lately. Yeah, special. Very strange it`s gone now.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at these pictures of Jake and Reese, I can't help but think, who is this for? It looks so staged to me. I really don't think it will help the movie at all. I hope Jake knows what he's doing but I fear he is getting really bad career advice right now.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... very interesting info special k!
ReplyDeleteif babytile is true... and they try to hide it for longer than a few months, they must be crazy.
i am still sticking my head in the sand and avoid looking at those kissing or piggy back pics, i just had my lunch, thank you....
i don't know if jake is just following orders, but i do feel it's a "collective" decision, with austin's consent. i do hope they are still together and there's hope that things might change later.
re HW.. it's a dark place and probably self-loathing. like my friend said, "how does an industry which is practically run by jews and gays be so homophobic and allow films like Passion of the Christ to make huge profit?"
it's a mad and sad world
special k, wow--that is quite a finding. It was there and now it's gone???
ReplyDeleteHmm. Reminds me of Ted's old item about how Toothy and his BF were arrested (for having sex in public) and the whole thing got hushed up.
Or maybe special k, because you found a listing and you couldn't read it further unless you paid, now you can't even access it UNLESS you pay up?
Special--was there a date for that Austin listing? Also, this was connected to a hospital? (I was thinking that maybe he got a new driver's license--but that would be covered by CA's DMV).
If JJ had a problem, he would have done this rather than call Austin's father and Perez Hilton.
ReplyDeleteOh Lord . . .
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any intimacy in the kiss either, for a couple in the first flush of love, in Rome. Maybe I'm kidding myself and it's there, I don't know.
At least we can look at a nice pic of Austin this morning. *sigh* As Jack White of The White Stripes says, "You don't know what love is (you just do as you're told). :(
JJ's story in a small blog
ReplyDeleteAccording to IMDb Brothers is now filming in New Mexico, not Boston.
ReplyDeleteAccording to IMDb Brothers is now filming in New Mexico, not Boston.
ReplyDeletePosted on WFT: Probably the scenes where Tobeys character is in Afghanistan. Maybe Jakes scenes will be shot somewhere else?
One thing I am sure of this showmance wont continue for long. Reese will want to move on with her life if she already hasn't at some point.
ReplyDeleteI now see this a a desperate attemt by Jake and his advisers to get rid of the gay rumors. They have him convinced that they are killing his career. Reese is a very good friend of his and has agreed to do this for him. It doesnt hurt her in anyway. Its definitely not for the movie. It is too late for that. The movie has bombed and Jake is worried. He wants to be Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and he sees it isnt working. He has got to try and do something different. He still is Jack Twist and is believed to be gay not just by tbs but I am sure many others. Look at the websites that have posted these pics no one is going for it.
This pics are an attempt to sell a product. You see a pretty package you buy it. Yoy see a women like Halle Berry work for a make up company and a women who wants to be prettier will buy that make up.
If you think Michaeal Jordan Nikes can make you jump higher a kid will want those shoes. Jake wants to dress up the product. He wants to sell to those who go to the movies. Not the 10-15% of his gay fans but to the 85-90 percent who want their leading men to be str8. Thats a lot of money. Jake doesn't work for Jake. He works for an industry that brings in billions of dollars. If he doesn't conform if he doesnt have the proper image he wont sell.
The celebrity has gotten to Jakes head. He likes it. Jarhead and BBM made him think he was a huge star and he wants to be a huge star.
Hold on folks everyday is a new day and as we have found out in the last year things change. We will see what happens.
Special -----
ReplyDeleteI'm very disappointed and a little surprised by the information you're trying to relay about California Vital Stats.
I don't know what you think you saw on the Vital Stats website, whether it was the birth records part of their site, but any online California Vital Stats site with reference to live births does NOT, I repeat - DOES NOT list father's name.
What you will get in an online search - ANY online search - of CA Vital Stats is the following:
Child's Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, Birth Year, Birth Month, Birth Day, Mother's Last Name, Sex, Birth County.
Furthermore, Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't have that kind of pull to erase a state record in Sacramento.
I'm so very very sad you would try and push this theory.
I never said that it was a birth record. I said it was under vital records.
ReplyDeleteI just found it interesting that the name was up there, and now it is not.
There was something there and then it wasn't.
Well here is the link where I saw his name and the result for a Austin Don Nichols in CA.
ReplyDeleteAgain I did not say it was a birth record, but a record with his name on it was there on Monday and not it is not available. I did not say the file was taken away, but the access to get the file is no longer there. It gets down to the semantics of things.

ReplyDeleteEW.com - Gay Hollywood: Out of Sight?
The picture of Austin made me smile, and then I got in here and read about the piggback ride and almost lost my lunch lol. I will not be looking at those right now as I can't afford to lose any more work time stewing over this.
ReplyDeleteGood post Tom, and one thing that I hadn't thought of before is that it probably doesn't help matters that so many interviewers kept bringing up BBM. And based on the convesations I overheard standing with the middle america crowds that were outside the today show, I think most people only know him as that "Jake something" in that gay cowboy movie.
Don't Shoot the Messenger
ReplyDeleteWhich Hollywood faux-mance is being cranked up higher as their film sinks at the box office?
http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/bwiddicombe/2007/10/25/2007-10-25_rival_authors_50_cent__lance_bass_its_on.html
I have a thought- Jake wanting it known 2 straight actors were in BBM, so that vice versa, people would also take seriously a straight role played by a not so straight actor.
ReplyDelete12:33PM: Keep thinking that Tom. The Gyllenhaal family and the Witherspoon family have been bonding for several months now, her kids have spent time not only with Jake but Maggie Peter and his parents. Not your "shomance" relationship.
ReplyDeleteThey are relived that the Rendition PR is done, now they can relax, Reese paid off Ryan, the divorce is final. No way in hell would Reese be apart of something that would some day blow up in her face.
And take a look around ALL the blogs, not all are dismissing it. The usual homophobic bile at D-listed an ONTD and a few other blogs but a lot including PITNB are buying it, not that it matters, Jake and Reese could care less.
Blogger
ReplyDeleteYes we know that not every place sees it as showmance.
There are some great places that you can share you Jake and Reese information, and where you would have a more captive audience.
You sound familiar, blogger.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I love all TBs, as always. And I love this picture of Austin *** I hope he doesn't follow Jake's example.
Special, you scary clever.
I just heard about the "other" pics from my good and neutral friend who runs that other brilliant blog :) It's a long time since lunch but I want an appetite for dinner so I won't look at them yet.
Thanks to the person on the other thread who came up with "Reeke". :)
I can't believe nobody came up with Reeke before now. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Scylla ((((((sistah)))))))
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think they do make a beautiful couple, and I've known something was up with this for months. So why am I so disturbed by this now, you ask? I think this is great if it's real. Like they really care what I think lol But if it isn't, it's disturbing that this has to go on in HW. Have we been duped all along? By whom? Ted, PR, or both? What about Austin? I don't know the answers to these questions and it disturbs me, and I'm disturbed that I'm even thinking about it! lol
I don't require a leading man to be str8, just a good actor whose roles I enjoy, and, ok, not too hard on the eyes isn't bad either. It's sad that this has to go on. I do think the world of Jake, and will continue to support him as well, Destiny.
"I'm so very very sad you would try and push this theory."
ReplyDeleteOne person I would trust not to bend the facts is SK - no matter her personal bias.
NETB, you're obviously the NICE sistah. :) I'm not fond of the Reeke and that won't change even if it's real which I don't think it is.
ReplyDeleteWord, convinced max. *
Scyll, we'll just have to see what else can happen with this, if we can stand it! :(
ReplyDeleteI agree with Max as well. Spesh, this song is so Austin, thanks! The sweetest smile and the funkiest style fer sure. :)
Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteAnd as soon as I saw the song on Aretha's new release... I only thought of one guy. : ) I think Jake would agree too.
I agree we have to see how this all plays out. But I am still a TB'er and will always be.
Netb I think I am totally with you. I unfortunately right now do not see the Jeese as real soI feel a little ... nauseous, because seriously who else gets photog piggibacking other than Heidi Montag and her bf? And to see Jake go down that level and looking stupid as he does in that pic, hurts. If you ever see news of a fan hitting Jake hard on his head you can be sure the fan was me. I have seriously contemplated getting down to LA from here (SF, not that far) to track him down and have a serious eye to eye.
ReplyDeleteBTW how do you send questions to Ted? Because he too is not off the hook yet.
BTW how do you send questions to Ted?
ReplyDeleteThere is "Write Me" link (button) on the left side:

oh yes... very nice picture of Austin here. I need this. so thankyou.
ReplyDeletewhy do people get so defensive with some honest investigation, it's not even conclusive (and special K never claims it to be an evidence)? no one knows for sure, except the inner circle of jake and austin.
i think there are enough blogs out there very happy to believe the jeeke and jeese thing, so no need to get defensive.

ReplyDeleteSpecial on the link you gave if one searches for Austin Nichols, Los Angeles, CA under birth certificates, the search returns a record succesfully. Not sure what that means though.

I believe the Gyllenhaals entertained Reese and the kids on MV this Sept. By the look on Reese's face when she was papped she looked like she preferred HW.
Zero --
ReplyDeleteThe entry I found was for a Austin Don Nichols and his age listed was correct.
But there may be another entry for him, or it could be for another Austin Nichols. There are a lot of Austin Nichols out there -- I never realized how many people like Wild Turkey. : )
who'sthat said...
ReplyDeleteBTW how do you send questions to Ted?
There is "Write Me" link (button) on the left side:
http://www.eonline.com/gossip/awful/bio/
In my opinion we blast Ted for answers. Its time the man shows us whats hes got. Jeese has pictures we got squat.
Exactly, Tom. Time to face off.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say this because in principle I am against outing people, but if Toothy wants for whatever reason to be outed, then be it. Then by all means I'd rather have Ted do it, because I think he will do it with some respect and class, as opposed to the random JJs of the net.
Well I have to say Special that I'm glad you didn't pay the fee.
ReplyDeleteAccessing that info would have been like JJ calling Austin's father. There is a line and TBs have always been good about not crossing it.
We didn't all appear at Stephen Gyllenhaal's book readings like those on other sites and basically try and stalk the Gyllenhaal family. And I was really proud of us for that.
So lets not lose sight of our integrity just because we are mad.
These are real people with real feelings. I keep thinking about that moron calling Dr Nichols and it makes my blood boil.
We don't know what is really going on. We don't know if Jake and Reese are real, pretending, exceptionally affectionate friends. We don't know how Austin feels about it or if he is even a part of it anymore.
Most importantly, we don't truly know what Austin and Jake do behind closed doors - with each other or without each other.
I'm not saying to blindly accept what HW is telling you or that you have to like the idea of these two together - just to think about how you'd feel if someone was researching you.
The one thing I agree with is that Ted needs to start talking. He has basically named Jake as Toothy Tile. And has kept this thing going, whether true or not. He owes people some answers. Even if they are very very carefully worded. Even if it just means he basically points out that Toothy is very real but now very closeted and then retires the story stating there is no point following a closet case and moving on to another BI.
I always enjoy you`re posts so much, ag:)
ReplyDeleteZero it is time for Ted to sh*t or get off the pot. Lets Blast him.
ReplyDeleteI am calling for everyone to email Ted and demand some answers. If he gets bombarded he will respond. He and we being made to look like fools.
^^are being made
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of Austy poo, he's handsome.
ReplyDeleteCome on Jake...wake the hell up !
Accessing that info would have been like JJ calling Austin's father.
ReplyDeleteSorry, AG, but I must respectfully disagree. There is a world of difference between accessing a public record and bothering someone at his private residence.
Last year we worried about Toothy&bigwig. Wonder what we will worry about this time next year. lol. So much have changed.
ReplyDeleteWicked, I always respect your opinion and that of Special K's.
ReplyDeleteRealistically JJ probably called Dr Nichols at the hospital which is slightly better but still nowhere near good.
Accessing a public record is not wrong. But why you are doing it may be.
Even if this is our Austin it isn't any of our business what he registers unless he wants to make it our business.
Just like it isn't our business to know what flight Jake took or who he sat next to.
The internet has allowed people to go past curiosity and become snoops.
I remember reading Austin's DUI arrest report. I felt guilty about it after but at least it was something that had already been reported.
The reality is that Austin would not be able to hide a baby forever. The minute he steps out near photographers with a child they are going to take a picture. Because it's something different.
If he is filming The Informers in November, then he is going to be in Uruguay because that is where they are moving after the LA shooting and there is no word that Austin has yet filmed his scenes. If he's going to be there and Jake is going to be in New Mexico, where is this kid going to be?
I can buy Jake in a showmance, I can buy fake PDA because it would just be like doing a love scene in a movie but I cannot buy Jake willingly spending the first few days of his child's life somewhere else.
I respect your opinion too AG. However, I don't think there is anything wrong accessing public records for any reason. Of course, you can disagree.
ReplyDeleteI did send an e-mail to the CA Dept. of Public Health, Office of Vital Records asking if there was a way to find out if a record a recent birth listing a particular person as a parent was available. I wanted to know if that information was actually findable at all. Here's the response I got-
Birth and death records are only available from the State Office of Vital Records after they have been registered by the County Health Department and recorded by the County Recorder's Office in the county where the event took place.
· Because of the delays resulting from this process, we suggest that certified copies of birth and death certificates be requested from the County Health Department or the County Recorder's Office for the first six months after the event.
· Caution: If a record is requested from the State Office of Vital Records during the first six months after the event, and the record is not yet available, a Certificate of No Public Record will be issued and the fee will be retained as authorized by State law.
(From http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/birthdeathmar/Pages/ImportantInformation.aspx)

Come on guys I am furious. I hated seeing those pictures. I don't think Jake or Austin deserve anymore slack. That is just how I feel. Jake has used people like us for two years to keep his name alive on the internet. Now because he is worried about his career he is turning his back on his most loyal fans. I really believe that. He never told us he was gay but man he played the game pretty damn well. I think he deserves some heat. Don't hit us with these assinine staged pics to show how macho he is. Come on Ellen lets hear it from his mouth. Straight answers. Ellen I am not gay I am in love with Reese. I want him to look us in the eye and tell us the truth. Yeah I am taking it personal and I dont know this guy one lick but I have put a lot of time and thought and love in this man and feel betrayed. I think we all should. It hurts like hell and I want him to know that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we shouldnt take such a vested interest in other people's personal lives if it "hurts like hell", Tom. He owes us nothing. It's his life.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth should we believe JJ emailed Perez or called A's father- that's ridiculous.
ReplyDelete7:18 was me too
ReplyDeletedickieandthebabe, I would say that would be a fair statement if I had the certainty you would go "ok, it's his life and that's totally owesome" had Jake shown up in Rome with Austin and engaged in PDA. But since I am inclined to believe otherwise I say: STFU.
ReplyDeleteI truly don't understand what you're saying, sorry, but it's dickieandbabe, not dickieandTHEbabe.
ReplyDeleteThanks
OMG is a community based in respect for Jake and Austin and respect for each other. While is may be hard to find respect for some actions or comments some days, I hope we all can strive to every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Tom,
ReplyDeleteTed has no control over Jake's behavior. He can only report what he finds out. Probably with some embellishments, of course. E-mailing him won't change what Jake is doing.
ITA with Spesh's post @ 8:04.
here are millions of gay men and women who live openly, honestly, unashamed at the risk of losing jobs, homes, families, and even their lives.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best ways to fight and win against intolerance and homophobia is to put a face, a name, a PERSON to that fear. To show GLBT are neighbors, colleagues, brothers, aunts, even people in positions of power, people that are admired. To educate others through not only words, but actions. To say without apology - I'm Proud to be normal, proud to be human.
What a message it would send for a prominent person to do the same.
Jake, and Austin, chose to stay in the closet in order not to lose a chance at stardom.
That's the perspective that I'm coming from.
dickieandbabe, sorry for mispelling your name. Your post appeared trollish to me since it reminded me of another sequence of posts I saw elsewhere and I did not want it to end up attacking Tom, but I truly apologize if I was wrong.
ReplyDeleteMAH- as an out lesbian, I understand your perspective. I can't imagine the regrets of someone who stayed in the closet for his whole life and I'm glad I don't have to. I really hope J&A rethink this.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is in my head tonight-
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not.
Kurt Cobain
Great quote Wicked.
ReplyDeleteIt been a long week friends and a tough one. Remember first we are all friends and are here for the same reason. I for one am glad the weekend is close. I sure am gonna stay away from the stores dont need to be reminded when I am standing in line. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen I say it hurts it doesnt mean that this subject is my whole life but it is an important part of it. It really is. And seeing those pics where awful tough. Have a good weedend everybody. Go Sox!

ReplyDeleteWhat a day! I just finished reading the posts here and there, and copying this and that, and bookmarking this site and that article and finally here's my little one-and-half cent cause I'm exhausted. :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all thanks Special for this splendid sight I got while arriving at OMG. And also for that great EW.com article. I think it’s a must-read for all of us right now.
The one thing I agree with is that Ted needs to start talking. He has basically named Jake as Toothy Tile. And has kept this thing going, whether true or not. He owes people some answers. Even if they are very very carefully worded. Even if it just means he basically points out that Toothy is very real but now very closeted and then retires the story stating there is no point following a closet case and moving on to another BI.
I think some kind of confirmation or epilogue by Ted would be welcome as some people are really starting to think they’ve been duped all along. It would simply bring a certain “reassurance”. I don’t think it would have any other impact. It would certainly not change Jake’s behavior. After all Ted’s latest outing was met with a deafening silence. And if Ted ultimately decided to retire TT, I’m sure it would be temporary. ;)
And thanks for your thoughts MAH. And Destiny I really hope you feel a little bit better. And I’m sure I forgot something or somebody but that’s about it for tonight folks.
Take care. :* :*
MAH
ReplyDeleteThanks for you post. There are so many men and women who are showing the world each and every day living openly and honestly.
The article on EW.com, shows that HW is not keeping up with the changes that society is making. For HW who is supposed to be ahead of trends, have a lot to do to catch up with society when it comes to attitudes and the GLBT community.
But it does show something to be happy about, that society is changing on it own, without HW's influence, and it is from the lives of out and proud men, women, couples and families. Maybe society will influence HW this time around.
Oh, crap! Just checked the score - it's 1-1! Waaaaay too soon to be tempting fate, you're right, Spesh, what was I thinking? Ix-nay on the music! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have a great weekend too, Tom. What a week! :)
Lowell just got a double, sent Papi home NETB. It is 2-1 in the 5th. But let's not get ahead of ourselves!
ReplyDeleteThanks Frenchy, I"m feeling a lot better tonight. I finally got up the nerve to look at the pictures, and maybe bcause they were so fuzzy they didn't bother me as much as I was expecting. I don't think Ted has been wrong about J&A, maybe just about some of the details.
ReplyDeleteI'm sory, but this comment on Just Jared made me laugh:
ReplyDeleteI can hear the handlers now “well we’ve got about 50 pictures but still no sexual chemistry, why don’t you jump on his back? He likes that”.
What's my assessment of the body language in these photos? *grabs Dany's stamp and pounds over every one* I'm with special on this one. I have to laugh, if not shake my head. And wait. Indefinitely.
At the moment I'm so caught up in Rendition. It's a beautifully-made and acted film. The lighting and colours are some of the most gorgeous I've seen captured on film in a long time. Omar Metwally broke my heart. I thought the whole Moroccan cast was superb. It's a very human film, and that's what I really loved. I thought Jake's performance was mesmerising. He works really well in ensemble casts. His surface was so still and yet he was blooming underneath; I thought it was amazing and so indicative of his growing range. The scene of him waiting in the hospital is one of the most stirring moments he's ever helped to create, imo.
I can't reconcile this actor that I've loved and admired for so long for all his work with the guy I see in this travelogue of PDA. But right now that's ok.
i still admire Jake as an actor and will always love him for bringing Jack Twist onto the big screen.
ReplyDeleteBut right now I have to seperate his work from all these PR stunts. i still managed not to get my sick looking at those PDA photos (except the first 2).
btw, Jake's interview with BBC's "Culture show" will be shown this Sat (1930) on BBC2. It is a more serious programme and it should concentrate only on the issues raised in Rendition. So don't miss it if you love Rendition.
I just went through the 65 Just Jared pictures. Jake looks visibly distressed in nearly every picture and he's a million miles away in the fountain shots. These remind me of Jake after Lakers II. I sort of pity him now.
