Full Count (formerly Lenexa, 1 Mile) actor's Jason Wiles directorial debut and homage to growing up in Lenexa, Kansas in the late 80's come out today on DVD. A coming of age story of five friends and their last summer together, hanging out at the Parks and Rec department, playing pick up games, playing softball, drinking beer, find their friendship tested and what they thought they knew challenged.
Full count is the term used when batter is facing the last pitch of his at bat, with a count of 3 balls and 2 strikes. This last pitch will either strike him out(3 strikes), walk him (4 balls) --giving him a base (free pass) or getting a hit.
Wiles went home to film Full Count, with 25 day shoot in Lenexa, Johnson County(surrounding towns Overland Park, Shawnee, Olathe ) and Kansas City (which Lenexa is a suburb) including K in May of 2005. Even then Austin was getting notices even amongst co-stars Jason Ritter, Chris Klein and Billy Baldwin. Tony Ortega in KC's alt weekly The Pitch says... "Nichols impresses us as a young man who's going places. He played a rich, preppy bastard in The Day After Tomorrow and a rich, sporto bastard in Wimbledon. This time he's apparently going slightly against type, playing a proletarian, bar-brawling bastard in Lenexa, One Mile."
With the 80's setting Austin got another chance to rock the Midwest Morrissey look with a little a little Vanilla Ice shaved side, and tight acid washed jeans. So much better than Chris Klein's mullet, but so on target for the Midwest, sadly even today. And the for the "Oops! I forgot my shirt" contract clause, yup it's there.Austin at premiere in KC, October 2007
Did you know?
Jason Wiles middle name is Austin.
Director of Photography David Boyd and Editor Steve Mark both worked on Deadwood.
Jason had a small part in Zodiac.

From AfterElton March 18th:
ReplyDelete"Q: With New Hollywood being gay obsessed, what are the truths behind the gay blind items? I have heard ones that could point to Jake Gyllenhaal, Zac Efron, Chace Crawford, Barron Hilton, Bow Wow... How do we know which ones are actually true? Can gay blind items be made up? -- Paul, Toronto, Ontario
A: “Blind items” are gossip items that include no name, but give a few identifying characteristics of the celebrity in question, though never enough to identify the person for sure. They became popular in print gossip columns like the New York Post’s Page Six and have since segued seamlessly to the Internet on gossip websites like Dlisted and Perez Hilton (both of which the Flying Monkey refuses, on principle, to link to).
Can they be completely made up? Sure, but I don’t think they usually are. After all, even gossipmongers have professional pride. Self-respect, no, but professional pride, yes. I think most of these items are based on actual tips.
The problem is this. Every gossipmonger wants to print a scoop like “Jake Gyllenhaal has a boyfriend!” The reason they don’t is because (a) they like to think they have some journalistic credibility and don’t want egg on their faces when a huge story like that turns out to be false, and (b) they don’t want to get sued (while it’s extremely hard for a public figure to sue for libel, it’s possible if they can prove the “journalist” knew something was false and printed it anyway).
But “blind items” let gossipmongers have their cake and eat it too. They can heavily imply that Jake has a boyfriend, drawing attention (and page-views) to themselves. But because these items are written in such a vague way, they have a perfect out if someone accuses them of being factually wrong or threatens to sue. The gossipmonger can merrily dance away from what they wrote, saying, “Oh, I wasn’t talking about Jake Gyllenhaal! I meant someone else!”
In other words, it completely bypasses the ordinary checks-and-balances of basic journalism, the fact-check and verification that most “tips” have to go through before they end up in print, and the very real consequences for recklessly getting a story wrong. So what you end up with is complete rumor. And as anyone who went through the sixth grade knows: every now and then a rumor turns out to be true, but most of the time it doesn’t.
Again, the gossipmonger probably sincerely believes these tips are true. But that doesn’t mean you should."
^Just thought it was interesting this answer concentrated solely on Jake - while not mentioning the words Toothy Tile or Ted C! And I agree with the writer about the gossip writer believing the info he has - I've always thought Ted sincerely believed his sources.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, it completely bypasses the ordinary checks-and-balances of basic journalism, the fact-check and verification that most “tips” have to go through before they end up in print, and the very real consequences for recklessly getting a story wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat about "ordinary checks-and-balances of basic journalism" on entertainment sites like E! Online?
October 2007 Jake & Austin sighting wasn't a blind item.
Why is Austin's name not on the poster?!
ReplyDeleteAustin in those jeans. (thud)
ReplyDeleteHaven’t had a chance to visit or post for a while so I’m way behind. Just have to comment on the new photos of Austin – the “crotch” photo (as it’s been so aptly named) is definitely my favorite. Austin gets more and more gorgeous every time I see a new photo of him.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Ted’s comments from last night: he’s still insinuating that Reeke is fake. Guess that’s about all he can tell us right now. Time will tell.
I'm laughing at all the excuses the babblers are making for the distance between Reeke. The best is that paps pics are worth more when they are together, so she is walking ahead. Yea, right.
ReplyDeleteTwo things I noticed about Ted's comments. He says "he likes to keep 'his' (in italics) presence private." A reference to Austin perhaps? And on the mainpage, the lead in headline is "Blind opened wide" which talks about Death Mint Myrtle but also mentions Jake. A subtle reference to the Toothy BI is Jake? Ted never says anything without a reason.
OT:
ReplyDeleteAnthony Minghella, the Oscar-winning director of "The English Patient," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain" has died of a brain hemorrhage. He was 54.
My favorite movie of his was his directorial debut, Truly, Madly, Deeply.
3 pics, no Reese, no crutch.
ReplyDeleteThat was in the gallery, this is what Stephanie posted on the eye candy thread:
ReplyDeletehttp://iheartjake.suddenlaunch.com/index.cgi?board=Pictures&action=display&num=1205855533
The caption says that Jake and Reese attended church services on Sunday, March 16. These pics are from the x17 video of them seperately getting coffee. I don't know where IHJ got the pics or the caption but x17 has bothe Jake and Reese up, seperately and they claim that they attended church services prior to getting coffee. Jake seems to be in a better mood, i wonder why he turned his head away in the video, perhaps he was joking?
No crutch, no limp they are in the same area but in seperate cars. If they did attend church did they go seperately so they paps wouldn't follow them?
I don't know if you guys saw this. I wondered how Jake got injured. May be the other day he was shooting some hoops with the mystery man (aka Austin, at least for me)...
ReplyDelete:)
----------
[Jake] prained his ankle while shooting some hoops with friends:
March 17, 2008
Hey Reese, Wait Up!
Over the weekend, Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal, who reportedly sprained his ankle while shooting some hoops with friends, limped behind Oscar-winning gal-pal Reese Witherspoon as the pair went for their morning coffee in the celeb-friendly 'hood of Brentwood.
According to witnesses, it looks like Jake's injury had taken a turn for the worse as he was using a crutch for support.
And while the actor appears to be getting ample support from his crutch, the same can't be said for Reese, who galloped in front of her man while he struggled to catch up.
Hey, Jake we'll support you!
http://www.okmagazine.com/news/view/5276
The rumpled look with wrinkled shirt with collar open no t-shirt, jeans and sneakers a little grin looks a little more rolled out of bed (and in a good way).
ReplyDeleteWould he wear that church?
Compare that to the last time they did the "they went to church thing". Jake was in a sweater, pressed dress shirt and trousers and boots.
Yes,Yes I know about the shoe issue and a sprained ankle so he gets a pass on the sneaks. But the rest, come on he has pressed shirts hanging closet at home. Hmmmm.....
or
You wonder if he is just is trying to drive Reese nuts by just throwing things on that he found in the clothes hamper or on the floor of the closet.
Just a reminder the New Features Poll is still open!
ReplyDeleteRefresh today's post for the link.
The caption says that Jake and Reese attended church services on Sunday, March 16.
ReplyDeleteI bet X17 made that up - they have photos to sell!
I'm so sorry to hear about Anthony Mingella - I loved all of those films - The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain, except I haven't seen Truly, Madly, Deeply. What a loss to film.
ReplyDeleteThese pics are from the x17 video of them seperately getting coffee.
ReplyDeletePics / video - Jake doesn't carry coffee.
This time he's apparently going slightly against type, playing a proletarian, bar-brawling bastard in Lenexa, One Mile.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add, this I gotta see, Austi playing this role. ;)
Thanks Spesh and Wicked for the update. :)
Remember how all the Gyllenspooners were lamenting the fact how some people get their info from the X17 captions when the pictures of Jake with the crossword came out and X17 claimed that Jake was reading the newspaper because he wanted to go to a play? And they were all saying how pathetic it is to believe anything X17 says.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, even though there's no photographic proof that they were even together at all, X17 is of course completely right about Jake and Reese having been at church.
I guess it's okay though, because it totally means that Reeke will get married soon!!11!!!
You know he's not going anywhere with Reese cause he's smiling.
ReplyDeleteTheir Sunday Best from x17
ReplyDeleteThought Jake was a Buddhist. Now he's attending church with Reese. Guess he had to convert for the wedding and all!
According to the Babblers, Reeke is getting married this weekend.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Babblers, Reeke is getting married this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe CD Jake is carrying is music for the wedding. Chris is back in the picture because he's going to be the best man. They're shopping for their new home together, gifts for the wedding party, and for the impending birth of the sainted Gyllenspoon baby.
Will Ryan attend with Abbie?
ReplyDeleteJake is Jewish actually. (His mother is Jewish which makes him so according to Jewish law).
ReplyDeleteWell yes that has to be it, a Holy Week wedding.
ReplyDeleteSometime between Christ's crucifixion and The Resurrection Jeese weds.
Jake is Jewish actually. (His mother is Jewish which makes him so according to Jewish law).
ReplyDeleteAccording to Jake, he is Buddhist. I believe a person is the religion they follow, not the religion they were born into.
Sometime between Christ's crucifixion and The Resurrection Jeese weds.
ReplyDeleteGotta love it! ;(
I can't say for sure how far this relationship will be carried. Nothing would surprise me at this point- nothing. I think anything could happen, from coming out to a wedding and baby with Reese. I am just watching to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteA bar-brawling bastard, I can't wait to see that. I do wonder why they left his name off the poster. :-(
ReplyDeleteGood catch M on Ted, I bet that is exactly what he meant.
I'm the same, wicked, nothing would surprise me. Reeke could wed and Austin and all their mutual friends could be attendance and I'd be thinking, yep, on to the next tent in this three ring circus. I think the moment Reeke debuted, it was the ushering in of Hollywood Theatre, where anything is possible. It's been truly bizarre and not rooted in reality at all. I don't know who Jake is anymore, he's become the "ke" in Reeke.
ReplyDeleteI want to get the DVD just yell out all the places I know. I have spotted a few from the trailers. Especially old town Lenexa and the trains that always always run through town when you have to be somewhere.
ReplyDeleteFrom the trailer the make it look a lot more rural than it is. Then again it was supposed to be set in the 80's so there were still more farms left in Johnson Co. than they have now. Johnson Co. is the epitome of HW target audience. Upper Middle class suburb with every chain restaurant know to man, and more malls than you can imagine.
Kansas City is the home of AMC Entertainment, Inc. Yes AMC theaters.
In Johnson County has one of AMC big gems an AMC 30 Theater with IMAX .
bltb
ReplyDeleteHave to say like the Warhol icon. Have you been to the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh?
BLTB, ITA. You expressed it exactly. I worry that Jake is caught in the path of the runaway train of bearding, and might be about to get run over.
ReplyDeleteDitto Wicked and BLTB.
ReplyDeleteHey, special. :) No, I've never been, but it's a dream destination for the future for sure. I'm a huge Warhol fan. I have to admit, I, er, "found" that icon on another site, so I'm using it covertly. ;)
ReplyDeletewicked, my thoughts about the entire thing change weekly, but I'm pretty much convinced this is Reese's play and Jake's merely a player. He's a complete idiot for getting involved in this. I can understand that he might have thought the short-term gains were worth it, but I have to wonder if he really thought about what it would mean for him long-term. One thing's for sure, he's done some terrible acting these last few months. ;)
Accompanying Reese everywhere is one thing, a wedding and a baby is another. You don't blindly follow into the latter, you agree to it. I would turn in my card at that point. I'd follow Jake's films, but not him. To think of him attempting to live authentically on the other side of that would be too unbelievable and sad. I would be shocked to see it come to that, for him to want to do it, but not surprised. He's shown what he's willing to do and it's just a corner of the same cloth, imo.
Btw, I just came across this bit from IHJ via WDW. Not sure if it was noted before:
Stephanie has said that the pictures of Jake and Reese today were completely separate and they were taken at two different places even though X17 put them together in the caption so who knows!
Stephanie has said that the pictures of Jake and Reese today were completely separate and they were taken at two different places even though X17 put them together in the caption so who knows!
ReplyDeleteRe that video, do we even know they were in the same place? Looks like two different places to me.
Remember my comments from yesterday? I feel like a genius- REEE-cip-rocal, SUUUper GEEEnius!
Back to Full Count aka Lenexa,1 mile.
ReplyDeleteLots of Softball in this movie.
Hmmm I wonder if Jake gave Austin any tips of vice versa since Jake was out playing softball later that summer.
Jake Playing Softball
From the looks of it Austin did teach him the ditch the shirt approach.
Regardless of whether these pics of Reeke were taken at the same place or different places, it's obvious PR wants people to think they went to church together. Why?
ReplyDeleteThis time X17 did PR's job.
ReplyDeleteThey were both dressed up (well, not really), it was Sunday morning, Reese is a churchgoer - it was the story X17 could sell!
What else could they be doing up early on Sunday morning? Having a meeting?
ReplyDeleteI've added Full Count to my Netflix cue, so I'll have to send back House of Usher. I have a feeling the tradeoff is going to pay off.
ReplyDeleteIMO the church sighting is just another in a long line of efforts to make this look real, especially after the pictures of Jake hobbling a mile behind Reese. I don't think they were anywhere near each other on Sunday.
It won't be the first time that paps ahd them at the same place but arriving seperately, remember the weird medical building visits last year? Or the pics last year in NY in March? Or the pics in the summer of them in seperate cars following each other?
ReplyDeleteThe pics/video from Sunday they are in the same place but it looks like Reese parked in front and Jake parked in back, you can almost hear the paps running after Reese gets in her car.
X17online obviously was "clued" in on this not flynet, as they just have Reese's pictures not Jake's, don't think they new he was there, no wonder they were snarky!!
And even if they were at the same place having coffee, why come up with they went to church?? They are not dressed for it and i doubt that the paps realized it was Palm Sunday.
Remember the rags last year where they claimed that they attended mass but showed up seperately?
I'll bet he did, special. :) Jake's got great form; I'd forgotten how seriously *hard* he was playing that game. And that's just softball! Austin's got the body and natural athleticism/good carriage of weight to always look like he's been playing a sport for years.
ReplyDeleteI want to revise one of my earlier statements. Jake's no idiot, and I'm not one to use that term freely. He's a smart man but I think he can be easily misguided or swayed without thinking ahead.
Jake is losing all the pieces of himself. He can't even keep his own religion now.
ReplyDeleteDo Episcopalians attend mass? Thought that was only Catholic.
ReplyDeleteFunny how Reese is hailed as such a devout person, but seems she only attends on those "big" days, like Easter and Christmas.
And I don't even in HW would going to Palm Sunday services dressed that casually would be considered acceptable. Reese is all about image, after all. Would she want to be out and about, walking amongst better outfitted peons?
Sorry guys for the bad link for Jason Wiles' site. I fixed it and it links out.
ReplyDeleteDo Episcopalians attend mass?
ReplyDeleteI think they attend services.
Very sweet of Ent Lawyer to post this. I was going to post something like it on Easter, but I think I'll post this now and do a reminder then. As a mom of two bunnies, one of whom was a discarded Easter rabbit dumped to "revert back to the wild," I can tell you that you should never make an animal an impulse buy, no matter how cute it is.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't surprise me if they got married, nothing would surprise me with these two anymore. However, I'm sure this has been raised before, but what's the obsession with them turing catholic. Surely if Reese wanted to be married as a catholic she would have to have her previous marriage annulled, ie it prove that it never truly existed. Both her children would then be deemed illegitimate in the eyes of the church. Okay, no big deal, but abit unfair on the kids. she can hardly say the annulment is on grounds of non-consumation can she.
ReplyDeleteAlso, even Jake in his most 'I don't want to be gay' mode would surely have to take exception at old Ratzinger's view on homosexuality, wouldn't he?
We wait and see. I now sort of hope Austin is well out of all this, and happy with someone else.
Let the soap opera continue.
Has Ultraviolet hit the DC Forum crowing about how Reeke is getting married this weekend yet?
ReplyDeleteHas Ultraviolet hit the DC Forum crowing about how Reeke is getting married this weekend yet?
ReplyDeleteMeg, sounds like hypocrisy at it's finest! :(
ReplyDeleteSorry to bore on, but wouldn't getting married over the Easter weekend be the most distasteful thing possible. Surely Easter is a time to consider things other than's oneself and to concentrate on others, not personal issues.
ReplyDelete(I'd also be highly surprised if any priest would be agree to it at this time).
Wicked & Special K,
ReplyDeletedo you remember Sarah920 and her reasons for leaving WFT?
Well, Sarah didn't keep her I will never make any comments on him [Jake] and Austin ever again promise. Her blog:
One Girl and her Blog.
Getting in shape for the wedding:
ReplyDeletehttp://usmagazine.com/hot_pics_gallery?o=6
;-)
tr.. okay. if Jake marries someone who can wear such hideous sunglasses. then I'm finally over him.
ReplyDeleteOMG-ers, thank you for this post and for my favourite song from Mr Morrissey's comeback :)
ReplyDeleteNothing would surprise me at this stage, Reeke-wise. It'll make an interesting book one day fer sure.
Maybe the baby will mysteriously always look older than its declared age :D :D
Dang, forgot to go into blogger first AGAIN.
london.. enjoy the man himself..(its a good video)..
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzpynvxr7tA
What?? Jake and Reese are getting married this weekend?? Huh? Where is this coming from? I just checked out the celebrity sites and see nothing about it. Is this something Reese's people are putting out to distract the public from the impending opening of Ryan and Abbie's film "Stop-Loss?" No, that couldn't be (RME).
ReplyDeleteBlast from the Past- I've had a few identities over the past couple years and got in pretty comfortable at JW. Guess what the "conclusive proof" Sarah had was? Cantara apparently got an advance copy of that interview Jake did where he talked about how important it was to find the right mother for his children and shared it with JW. They shared it with Sarah and she bought it hook, line, and sinker. It was nothing more than that.
ReplyDeleteOh god, BFTP, I had totally forgotten about that!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Stop-Loss, I watched Elizabeth over the weekend and Abbie Cornish was in it. She played the queen's lady in waiting, who marries Sir Walter Raleigh. She was really good, and more than held her own with Cate Blanchett and Clive Owen.
Key Grip - Where is this coming from?
ReplyDeleteGyllenspooners. (Read previous posts.)
I knew that too, sneaky. What a drama over nothing, eh?
ReplyDeleteSneaky,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
One person's conclusive proof is another person's crap.
ReplyDeleteI had to read through that thread at WFT with Sarah's conclusive proof. I had no idea then what it was. Now that I know, I really can't figure out why she didn't just say. All that- "You'll have to trust me" bullshit. This is why I don't trust insiders or anybody whose credibility can't be vouched for.
ReplyDeleteIs Sarah920 and Ultraviolet the same? Cuz UV also goes by the name Sarah, same spelling, and she went all 'pro J&R/Jake is st8' about a year ago when that interview came out.
ReplyDeleteI don't think any church allows wedings on Easter weekend, Good Fridya, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday are days with services going on, marking the remembereance. No weddings are performed.
Lordy, the gyllenspooners/babbles. Jake walking supposedly outside a coffee place with a CD in his hand means wedding music selection. How about this more realistic scene:
Jake: Cool music you're playing, who is it?
Starbucks person: It's _________. Their CD is today's featured artist.
Jake: Yea, I think I'll buy one.
Starbucks Person: Do you need a bag?
Jake: Nah, I'll just carry it.
:)
And where did the Reeke going to the chapel come in? X17. Methinks it mighta been a play on words, going to hear a 'private sermon' at a 'chapel'. Altho it would be funny if X17 knew for a fact it really was a PR meeting where Reeke got blasted for the latest 'Reese Wait Up' pics.! :D But most likely it was just a X17 writer, trying to stir up hits to their site.
That X17 video of Reeke getting coffee (but not shown together) on Sunday am is from 2 different places. The big clue is look at the shadows both J & R make. Even if they were at the same place and if Jake left out the back and crossed the street the shadows don't make sense. They go in different directions (even taking into consideration the back-door theory - I worked it out, I'm not obssessed) and the shadow lengths are different, which means differnt times of day. Jake's shadow is longer, it is forward. Reese's shadow is shorter and directly to the left. Even if the shadows were the same length it still doesnt make sense considering the directions and the relationship to the streets and the building.
Btw Jake is favoring his left foot in the vid. Gotta give him credit for that. I don't think it's a fake injury.
IMO X17/Flynet whoever got separate pics/vids of Jake and Reese and are trying to imply they were together, but traveled separately and didn't hang out together. Bullshit. Methinks they were nowhere near each other on Sunday. No wonder Jake was smiling.
Sneaky, good for you! Another thang, getting a good mother/father/parent for your children doesnt mean you're hetero or you're gonna have sex with them or marry them. Not now, with in vitro and surrogates and gays raising children. Even look at Tilda Swanson (sp?). She is hetero, she has a partner who raises their children and a bf. There are a lot of possibilities today and I think Jake is fully aware of that fact.
Lot's of ministers in the family and this is the holiest week of and the busiest too for them. None have ever performed weddings during Holy Week and none would.
ReplyDeleteFrom Maundy Thursday/Good Friday until Easter morning, the Church is solemn and in mourning. Most churches even cover their cross and bear no lights during those days,until Easter morning. There wouldn't be anything celebratory like a wedding in the church during this week.
"We wait and see. I now sort of hope Austin is well out of all this, and happy with someone else."
ReplyDeleteLet the soap opera continue.
ITA Meg..I really hope Austin is not involved in this situation.
Ok, I just finished reading today's post and I'm trying to figure out where to start:
ReplyDelete1) Thanks for the Full Count post Special. I really want to see Austin in that role so I'll be off to Amazon after this post of mine. :)
2) Thanks Max for the AfterElton article. Personally, I think BIs are just like any form of gossip and always have to be taken with a grain of salt. I still think that combined with tidbits here and there, educated guesses and sometimes signals sent by the stars themselves, they help form a more multilayered opinion - at least in the wonderful world of entertainment.
3) Reeke, my dear babies (yes you so often look like two immature silly babies), nothing can distract me from a movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in its cast. Besides, a very old actor you probably don't give a shit about, but whom I personally love, is also in it, namely Mr. Ciaran Hinds. And there's also that certain lady I discovered recently and who blew me away, let me try to remember her name...
Gossip Girl about Reeke's impending wedding:
Will Ryan attend with Abbie?
GG, you're terrible (sigh)... :D
4) Glad to hear Abbie Cornish is great in Elizabeth Wicked. The only movie I saw her in is Candy and she did a superb, superb job. Buy, rent or netflix that film. It's a must IMO.
5) I loved Truly, Madly, Deeply too Special. I first saw that movie because of Alan Rickman. I remember him coming back from the dead to tell his GF a beautiful poem in Spanish (or was it Italian?) and his GF exclaiming "your accent is terrible!". I think in terms of ghosts he was as good as Patrick Swayze.
I loved The English Patient and Ripley too; both movies with sublime scores by Gabriel Yared.
What else... really interesting avatar BLTB!
And nice to see you back BV.
And Who'sthat too! I had a feeling that we saw your name less often recently, am I wrong?
BFTP, thanks for the laughs. The mystery proofs, the top-secret source, the dramatic tone, the sincere repentance... priceless. :D
And now fuck typos, this post goes up as is!
Spesh - I don't know if you're familiar with catholic tradition, but I attended a big Italian wedding at a big Italian catholic church years ago during this time of year - I remember all the statues in the church were covered. In purple I believe.
ReplyDeleteIt could have been Palm Sunday. Not sure. Are all the statues inside a church covered up on Palm Sunday?
During Lent objects/statues/altars/pulpits maybe draped in purple the liturgical color for Lent.
ReplyDeleteUsually it is Maundy Thursday services or Good Friday when crosses and crucifixes are completely covered usually in black cloth. Only to be revealed on Easter morning.
heathen, did the bride give birth to a healthy 10 pound 'premature' baby 7 months later, at about the time a new parish community center was being built, proceeds donated by the good Catholic Italian family? :O :D
ReplyDeleteAlan Rickman is a god! I loved Truly, Madly, Deeply and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Hated The English Patient. I saw it with a friend who fell asleep and I was so jealous of her! That is so sad about Anthony Minghella. Apparently it was a hemorrhage during routine surgery.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you someone else could not find the appeal of the English Patient I thought it was myself and Elaine on Seinfeld!
ReplyDeleteThe pics of Reese out jogging are not flattering as usual. I think all the talk about her looking fat got back to her.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think x17 is just having some fun captioning + they need to sell pictures, generate traffic. Reeke are not dressed up at all. I think the paps know everything about everyone - who else makes a career of stalking these people, but don't want to bite the hand that feeds them so they keep their secrets.

ReplyDeleteRemember telling you to "choke up on the bat and change your grip". You thought I was talking about softball? ; )
Remember telling you to "choke up on the bat and change your grip". You thought I was talking about softball? ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Austi! How's "your" grip through all this mess honey?
Just Jared also showing some new pics that they call "running errands together" but it's clear that J & R are not in the same place at all. They even list the different locations where the photos were taken. So I guess it generates web traffic to link them. Poor Jake, lost in the shadows.
ReplyDeletePINB attended the premiere of Stop Loss. Posts a review today. He likes the film.
Special, I saw only the ending of the English Patient [on cable TV] and don't want to see the whole movie, the last 15 minutes was enough and told me the story anyway. :D
ReplyDeleteGrip is good. Very good.
ReplyDeleteGripping who? Who do you think? ; ) Gripping what? Wouldn't you like to know.
M, you should see the JJ pics of Reese today.
ReplyDeleteThe JJ ones of Jake are cute. Another bird shirt!
Where did this Reese/Catholic rumor come from? She's not as far as I know. Episcopalian, or Catholic Light.
ReplyDeleteAnd if she were Catholic, she wouldn't be able to re-marry in the Church anyway, being divorced and all. Not to mention Jake's religious affliation being less than Gentile.
On another cracked Babble note:
If a woman got pregnant before her first marriage, then got pregnant again while not married to the man she was stepping out for months with still holding the title of Mrs. to the first man, and less than a year after her divorce was final, here in the South she wouldn't be celebrated or praised. Nope, she'd be the favorite conversation subject up under hair dryers, over the manacurist's table, in the line at Walmart, and over Wednesday night suppers in the First Baptist fellowship hall, with the words 'trash' and 'whore' included in everyone of them.
Yeah, Reese just epitomizes class, doesn't she?
eeesh! The south sounds scary. I guess what people say about zealots and bigots in the south is true then?
ReplyDeleteLove the birds. Little signs of hope, like crocuses in the spring. Hope we see more birds. Now I just keep hearing the nursery rhyme:
ReplyDeleteGoosey, goosey, gander,
Whither shall I wander?
in my head. I wonder why?
Frenchy, you're a doll!
ReplyDeleteSorry guys, I loooooved The English Patient, I was and still am a big fan of Ralph Fiennes. The cinematography in the desert was unforgettable. And I also agree, Gabriel Yared's score to those movies was beautiful, Cold Mountain too. I'm also a fan of Ciaran Hinds; loved him in lots of films. I happened to see the previews for Stop-Loss and it looks pretty good.
Those wouldn't be grey geese on Jake's shirt now, would they? ;)
Sounds like Austi knows a thing or two about bats :D
ReplyDeleteSpesh, you and Elaine aren't alone, I didn't like it either. I loved Ripley, though.
ReplyDeleteBad Seed, no, Sarah920 was a teenager, still is I think.
The tartan and birds combo doesn't work for me :( on a Hebridean island, yes; a shirt, no.
This time last year was the 2 cycling photos, dinner at Jar and reports of an all day trailer tryst.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Jake looks so depressed these days.
Look how far his life has fallen.
Just saw the pics of Reeke on JJ. I wonder why they would lump them together like that?? Wow. He doesnt even have his own identity anymore. Sad.
ReplyDeleteThis is alittle OT but I saw this today while I was looking at the pics of Reeke.

He doesnt seem to have any problems with gay rumors even though Perez suppossedly outed him. I know he's still on TV but I could definately see him crossing over to the big screen.
in the JJ pics, is Reese trying to look like she's pregnant and hiding it? what a wierd outfit combo to wear. like it was put together intentionally to make her look pregnant, with the big white skirt thing, the horizontal stripes in the shirt. then the one buttoned sweater/jacket that's too small and the big scarf to make it look like she's covering her belly up. and she's smiling?

ReplyDeleteThat is one unflattering outfit on Reese! I love how Jake keeps wearing pants that are way too long.
Reese is a bad dresser.
