True Blue: supporting something or someone completely.Small words that sum up so much about Jake and Austin.
As Shakespeare said, "the course of true love never did run smooth" and it always hasn't for Jake and Austin. But after all the years since they met on The Day After Tomorrow, and through all the up and downs, true blue is still the best way to describe them. You don't need rose colored glasses to see that.
NG, I really would love to hear more about Gro and Katya and how folks in Norway are reacting to them being a couple. Do people think they are as cute as we think they are?
ReplyDeleteI think Jake and Austin are still together. Looking at this old BI from October 2006 Ted said he was a fool for love back then!
ReplyDelete"Back in the (Public?) Saddle
I swear, us 'mos can be worse than you hets. I base this hugely unsearched stance on the breaking news that Toothy T., quelle surprise, has re-re-reunited himself with his good-looking b-f. I suppose I should be happy, as so few gay couples make it these days, and if you think I'm going to wink to Lance Opportunist and Reichen Bigger Opportunist here, think again.
No word yet as to whether or not T2 is curbing his sexual appetite for doing it every which way publicly. I've just been told by mutual amigos that Tooth's partner--after much begging by the in-the-closet movie star--has taken his reticent love back. Again.
Good to know it's not just the gals who are fools for the guys."
^^So sweet, I love this BI too. :)
ReplyDeleteNG, Gro and Katya are a lovely couple, and it's so nice to see that they are comfortable and open being who they are. Thanks for the video.
Happy Birthday, Rattler! :*
Love this song, guys!

ReplyDeleteWhich brings to mind a suggestion that was put forth in the past at WFT but that never materializes: the regrouping of all TT BIs in one section of the blog.
The more I think about this the more I believe that Toothy Tile BIs Archive should be a new blog.
I never really liked that BI. It presented a picture of the bf as someone willing to put up with almost anything - as apparantly Austin is, if he's still with Jake through all the Jeeseness.
ReplyDeleteAlso Jake comes off as as manipulative - "come back to me, and it'll be different blah blah".
It's the opposite of cute to me.
^If it's accurate, I should add. Wonder who the "mutual amigos" are/were?
ReplyDeleteHey Rattler, happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about this the more I believe that Toothy Tile BIs Archive should be a new blog.
We could do that, Who'sthat. Creating a blog for the TT BIs is not a big deal and we could link to it in the sidebar. I would like someone (or someones) to volunteer to gather all the TT info, though.
Happy birthday to you Rattler!
ReplyDeleteCannot promise I'll gather all TT info, but I volonteer for the job.
ReplyDeleteI copied and pasted the ONTD post and added all the Toothy mentions that were posted on FCC.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it's all, especially after Reeke started, since a lot of mailbags weren't posted on FCC anymore.
But maybe Special and Wicked can put it up on the sidebar and, like the Famous Gay people list, we can add the missing things and update it with new mentions?
Well, this BI just shows to me that, realisically, the course of true love never does run smooth, as today's post says. No relationship is perfect, but if they both love each other, what the rest of the world thinks of it be damned. They are the ones who have to be happy, not everyone else. They are entitled to make a mistake and be forgiven, and only they know how much they are willing to "put up" with. All speculation of course. Also, I like that Ted seems to feel that J&A are a HW couple who is able to make it and stay together, when he observes that so few do. I hope that's true. Who knows the extent of the Jeeseness? We'll soon find out I'm sure. :)
ReplyDeleteStubborn, Who'sthat, and anyone else who might want to help- can you guys e-mail us with the TT BIs that you have? Not sure how quickly we'll get them up, with the holidays and all, but we will try to do it ASAP. Thanks for collecting all of that Stubborn. You are amazing! Thanks to Who'sthat for volunteering. This is why I said before that blogging is a symbiotic relationship. We can't do it alone. If we tried, we wouldn't do a very good job, anyway.
ReplyDeleteWicked, I just sent the list to Special.
ReplyDeleteWicked,
ReplyDeleteI'll play a bit with Google Docs - I expect it could be used to publish documents so everyone interested could check what's already gathered.
Thanks Stubborn and Who's That, totally appreciated and gold stars all around.
ReplyDeleteAnything anyone has for TT/BI items send them along. Like Wicked said we will do our best about getting things organized and posted, with the Holidays and all, but this chica has some time off starting this weekend so who knows what might happen with that much time on my hands.
Thanks again to everyone who comes to OMG, to read, to share, and to comment. This is what we wanted to have when we built our little corner of the world call OMG.
Totally useless now. :(
ReplyDeleteWill try and cram in some research time tonight... but Stubby & Who'sthat are so good the job might be finished by then. :) :)
Any and all is appreciated!
ReplyDeleteAnd Frenchy -- you are good Toothy info person too -- you contributed a bunch when OMG was starting up and trying to figure out what the heck it was doing. Definite gold star!
How's all that snow?
Boston has already had more snow in the past week, than we did all of last winter. This is going to be a long and snowy winter here. Wicked will be soooo jealous!
If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know guys. I'm going down the home stretch with holiday and work stuff.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I should add to my post above, relationships are hard enough for most of us, nevermind the pressures that a same sex, Hollywood couple must be under. I wish them the very, very best.
I am deeply angry about my lack of snow. We got NOTHING this weekend. And all that freaking out!
ReplyDeleteIf folks have found mentions of the TT BI in other places, other blogs, Defamer, etc. that would be helpful too. Send all those mentions on.
Frenchy is probably winning with the snow right now...but where I am, I'm not that far behind. Definately more to come!!! Great snow for taboozing :)
ReplyDelete...but where I am, I'm not that far behind. Definately more to come!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, but we Canucks are a tough bunch. :)
Canadian-tb, if I remember correctly you're not living in Toronto right? I hope not. Apparently it's hell for them right now as they lack the proper snow removal equipment. :(
Wicked stop complaining and remember you'll be able to brag about your gorgeous cherry trees only three months from now. :D :D
Wicked stop complaining and remember you'll be able to brag about your gorgeous cherry trees only three months from now. :D :D
ReplyDeleteI agree Frenchy! :) You DC'ers are very lucky to have those beautiful trees!
I would say they are lucky that they can go to games early in the baseball season without a winter coat and gloves (and I'm not baseball gloves).
ReplyDeleteNew England:
Snow, cold, snow, snow, tease of spring, bitter,snow, snow, cold, snow, cold, everything melts in a day, mud ,rain, mud, mud, summer.
Spesh, the SO and I may be going to a Spring Trainin' game this year - we're looking into it. YAY! ;)
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen The Dark Knight trailer linked on WDW? I have to say I wasn't really feeling Heath as the Joker when it was first announced, but seeing him in the role has made me revise my opinion. And it looks like Maggie's role is quite a bit tougher than Katie Holmes played it.
ReplyDeleteLook's like Heath's Joker might steal the spotlight in Dark Knight and even steal the Joker away from Jack (Nicholson).
ReplyDeleteWow, just in the snippets we get to see. What is impressive is how he has change the tone and timber of his voice to become someone so extremely different than any other character he has played.
Wicked, I've seen it and I've watched the first six minutes linked by Maria in the previous thread. And I think Heath will be FABULOUS in that role. And I'm absurdly satisfied with myself as I was sure he would be great from the minute his casting was announced!
ReplyDeleteMaggie not only looks tougher, she looks luminous. I think she will be much MUCH better than the robowife, no matter how her character's been written.
^^Yes, I've seen a couple of the trailers, and I'm very impressed. I saw last night's robbery clip, thanks Maria! I agree, I think what Heath's done with the voice and the laugh, and just the delicious twistedness of Joker are incredible. (What doesn't kill you, makes you - stranger!) I'm interested in Maggie's role too - looks good. I like that they chose her.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprise if we ended up learning about the pain experienced by the Joker in his early life. I'm sure Heath could play on all those registers quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteOh shit, I have to go now.
See you tonight.
^^Awwww that would get to me. C'mere, poor tortured baby! ;)That's what I loved about Penguin and Catwoman from the Ted Burton days. Oh well, I should get going too! See y'all later! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Rattler. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI was never impressed with Jack Nicholson's Joker, nor Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face. They were just "there", superficial cartoon characters. It's more interesting I think to have a dimensional villain, so even tho this is a fantasy-type movie, you wonder what made them the way they are. I think it must be Tim Burton's handling of the characters that I loved - you had a bit of sympathy for their tortured souls. It would be interesting if this is how Heath's Joker is too. Speaking of Tim Burton, I can't wait to see Sweeney Todd either. Ok, I'm outta here for real this time! :*

Well looks like Jeese won something for all their effort. (Sadly not for their work in Rendition.
ReplyDeleteJake and Reese have won People Magazine's 2007 Reader's Poll for Most Intriguing Couple
People's Reader Poll - Most Intriguing Couple"
Intriguing:
1)challenging: disturbingly provocative
2)capable of arousing interest or curiosity
Hmmm... which is it?
Oh but Austin and Jake are so much more intriguing
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 2 - I think people are "intrigued" to know - is it live or is it Memorex! ;0
ReplyDeleteAlso, whom did they have for competiton? Lance A. and Ashley Olsen - seeming attention seeker and little self-absorbed brat who's on PETA's sh*t list for insensitively insisting upon wearing fur! ;)
To the mainstream why are Jake and Reese intriguing? Aren't they just another HW golden couple?
ReplyDeleteCurious Maybe it means the mainstream are saying WTF too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Rattler.
ReplyDeleteDoes People always do a Most Intriguing Couple? Probably wouldn't have won a "best" couple category, they certainly didn't in US.
Eons ago I saved a link that has some of the early TT stuff. I can never remember how to link, so here's the address
http://soleilani.blogspot.com/2006/02/mystery-of-toothy-tile-critical.html
I thought the mainstream image of them was girl-next-door meets boy-next-door. Boring but normal. Intriguing seems a strange word to apply to them if you're not a tb.
ReplyDeleteCurious, remember that old InTouch article called "Are Jake and Reese faking it?".
ReplyDelete56% of the voters (which is the mainstream) said that they think they're faking it.
So we're clearly not the only ones who think that somethings not quite right with this coupling.
Gathering all the TT BIs in one place is a great idea. Thanks to everyone working on it. I don't have any time to spend on it now, but I'm willing to help fill in any gaps after the main info is posted.
ReplyDeleteAs for the most intriguing couple status, here's my take:
1) They're intriguing because no one knows for sure if they're real or not.
2) Jake has a very organized fanbase who vote for him in every poll.
3)When you pulled up the poll, they were the couple the poll automatically pointed to - you had to change the vote for anyone else.
4) The other couples were of no interest at all to anyone or just plain old creepy (Clooney and his unknown gf, McConaughey and his unknown gf, Lance and Ashley).

ReplyDeleteWell looks like Jeese won something for all their effort. (Sadly not for their work in Rendition.
Jake and Reese have won People Magazine's 2007 Reader's Poll for Most Intriguing Couple
Definitely intriguing cause very few believe it.
Small correction - it's Most Intriguing Hookup.
ReplyDeleteHeath is in London
ReplyDeleteHeath Ledger was spotted shooting scenes for his upcoming fantasy film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in London Monday night.

Thanks who's that... got distracted posting and at work. : )
ReplyDeleteWell, I must be the only one not feeling the ... Heath of the Joker! But I do like Heath, in general.
ReplyDeleteWho'sthat, that title on JJ almost made me choke. WTF? They need to put a worning that it is not for real.
I haven't seen him yet :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen him yet :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the double!
ReplyDeleteThe only things that intrigues me as in makes me very curious is to figure out how an average looking gal like Reese manages to snatch 2 super hots like Ryan and Jake in a row. Well, if you believe she snatched Jake.
ReplyDeleteI think Jeese winning the Most Intriguing Hookup award is attributable to both Jake's very organized fanbase that votes for him in every poll and the incredible WTF factor of this couple. Those two things would make them hard to beat. Mind you, it wasn't Best Couple or Cutest Couple, but Most Intriguing Hookup. So the Damn, That's Weird aspect had a lot to do with it, I suspect.
ReplyDeletemost intriguing hookup? more like most unbelievable (and not in the fantastic way) hookup.
ReplyDeleteOT... but i read this little naughty bits on a free London paper's gossip column today: On George Clooney's chance of becoming US President one day, Rupert Everett said, "If he is straight then he would have no problem landing the job. But god forbid, he has to be straight"...
Rupert... you naughty man. LOL.
Oh wow! Thank you Spesh, Wicked, NETB, Frenchy, Stubborn, Tom and Destiny.
ReplyDeleteAnd the red wine:
Chateau Leydet-Valentin 2002
hic!
Great wine for a great day.
ReplyDeleteGreat wine, Great friends, Great day. What more could one wish for? :)
ReplyDeleteRattler, that wine does sounds great! Glad you're enjoying your day! :*
ReplyDeleteRattler's starting his celebrating early since he shares his birthday with someone else who's birthday is tomorrow too. I wonder who that is?
ReplyDeleteLucky Guy, Rattler! ;) Wow, another Sag. How many do we have now?
ReplyDeleteBut Wicked there was no catagory for best or cutest like Tiger beat magazine just hook up and they one, period.
ReplyDeleteNETB, :* hic :*
ReplyDeleteSpesh, if you want to find out, you might have to check your email.
Spesh & Wicked I did some search but I truly wonder if what I've found will be useful to you (i.e. links to EO forums, some Defamer articles readily available, etc.) I'll send the links to you anyway so you can assess the usefulness of that stuff.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't feel that we're pressuring you to post this TT saga summary ASAP. I'm sure all OMG posters are aware that this is a lot of work and that you'll have to review, filter and order a lot of info.
Ok, so now Rattler is drunk as a skunk, most probably in the midst of a multitude of 3-foot-high snow banks somewhere in Ontario... Please Rattler come back tomorrow and post so we know that you did not die of hypothermia... but mostly to prove that I did not lie when I said Canucks were a tough bunch!
Oh that "Most Intriguing Hookup" begs for comments... which I've no time to make at this moment. I hope it'll be alright if I post them in the next thread! :)
Oh Frenchy we are a very tough bunch ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I do not live in T.O. I live about 45 mintues south west of Toronto...but I love shovelling the snow (I know I'm crazy, but meh what can ya do?)
'Most Intriguing Hookup' my ass, more like "Easiest Thing to Make You Throw Up"...
No more posting for me for quiet a while, so everyone have good holidays and I might check in shortly after the New Year begins :D See ya
So, we get a Reeke pic for Jake's birthday?
ReplyDeleteOh that's who Rattler is - I've often spoken to him :) Happy birthday Rattler, and Jake!
ReplyDeleteWoke up early and thought wonder if Austin will spend J's birthday with him, like he did in Austin, Tx. And would we ever find out about it - then I find the Jeese picture. Not that surprised.
ReplyDeleteAh well, happy birthday Jake.
SK, I hope you're going to take the chance to post that TDAT birthday shot of Jake and Austin.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!
ReplyDeleteWE ALL HERE STILL LOVE YOU!
I Wish YOU the Best Birthday Ever.
This is YOUR DAY!! Enjoy it Well.
Peace and Love to you on this SPECIAL DAY!
I hope you're going to take the chance to post that TDAT birthday shot of Jake and Austin
ReplyDeleteYes!!!!Wonderful idea, it would be fantastic ^__________^
Happy birthday Jake-poo!!!!!
