Our First Movie Club Movie!




We didn't have much voting in this poll, but we did get a clear winner. Our first OMG Movie Club movie will be Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet! We will plan to discuss this movie on 4/26, right after Austin's birthday. That should give everyone a chance to recover from their post Austin's birthday hangovers! Hopefully 3 weeks' notice will give people plenty of time to get the film and watch it. Since it's an Ang Lee film, we hope that people will bring other Ang Lee films to the discussion as well. Happy viewing!

RE: WFT

Wanted to address some things that were said on WFT last night and take the time to clear the air.

We really DO NOT think that Rattler is Jeff Troll. Why? Sitemeter. We know Jeff's IP address and it is not Rattler's. Rattler has been posting much longer than Jeff. And Jeff only appeared here because of Reese.

Rattler is cool guy. We are friends and have a great time talking to each other.

Thanks Rattler -- right back at you. (((Rattler)))

OMG wishes Dany all the best in her future pursuits.

For Dany, I wish her well. A special thank you to OMG for letting me post here. For Jake, I
wish him the best in all he does.
IMO, I will always think that there was something between him
and Austin. For the present, I do
not know. Are there any known photos that show Jake wearing a
necklace similar to the one that
Austin was wearing? If Jake has
chosen Reese, I wish him well. I
will check in with OMG from time
to time. I like many of the people. Good luck to everyone.

Jake Watch: gone
Gyllenspoon: gone
WFT: gone

Wonder who's next on Jake & Evelyn's list:

IHJ: good pic/media source but a fan tomb since Reeke
DCF: Eyelashes on book 13 but not as active as it was. Site is linked with BBM image
WDW; good info on Jake's work, has little or none gossip. But whats gonna happen until Brothers comes out?
Gyllenbabble; barely hanging on, really has no focus beyond J&R
OMG: active re Jake but wheres Austin? Has expanded its interests beyond J&A.

IMO the April Fool hoaxes set up by Google, You tube etc. were pretty lame this year. And when I learned that Special K and Wicked are going to look at cherry blossoms, a very old hoax came to my mind.
And I found the clip!
Cherry Blossoms and Spaghetti Harvest

Some background:
On April 1, 1957 the BBC news show Panorama broadcast a three-minute segment about a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland. The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this query the BBC diplomatically replied, “Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.”

Jake's home is NOT off the radar, he lives on Woodrow Wilson Dr. in the Hollywood Hills, this has been posted on several real estate blogs. You can delete but this info is posted on several blogs already, it's no secret.

And although there is no actual adress it's enough info if any wanted to stalk like the paps. True there are no more pics of him running or cycling in the area but IMO it's because he has chosen not to do those things near his home whch is not a gated community.

There have been a few sigtings of him running and cycling in the Runyan canyon area and Mull. Dr. near his parents.

That doesn't make sense Just Wondering.

Re, You don't get that Jake did not put that info out there. And while you want to post the street again that doesn't mean Jake would want the specifics of an address he is staying at listed online.

Anonymous said...

Just responding to comments in the previous post about Reese's address posted vs Jake. Everyone knows that Reese lives in Brentwood and the Dr./St. but not the actual address, like Jake, but I bet if you do a search in people find you could find out.

The ranch is supposedly a weekend getaway that has been for sale for a while and therefore the address is listed, nothing anyone can do about that except get extra security.

IMO Jake no longer gets papped where he lives is because he probably doesn't spend that much time there anymore and that he found other venues (see above) to run, etc.

Anonymous said...

I do know one thing they could have done about the address in Ojai - not publish the fact that Reese actually bought the house and tout it as a 'lovenest' in US Weekly and all over the internet.

Sure, someone would have found out eventually, but if privacy is so gosh darn important to Reese, mentioning the purchase and location in a major tabloid is not the way to go about keeping things under the radar.

Anonymous said...

Why keep it private?

Public needs to know how rich, successful and happy in love Reese is! LOL!

frenchy said...

Looking forward to that first movie club discussion!

Special and Wicked I hope you're having a great time! :) :)

Wicked, you'll be happy to learn that when you were mentioning going to see the cherry blossoms, snow was falling once again on Montreal. Enjoy that sweet weather-wise revenge girl! ;D

My copy of JFC was waiting for me when I came home last night, YEAH!

I think the attitude with the addresses is just more confirmation of two things we already know: the showmance is being run to a large degree by Reese, who really doesn't care about her privacy, and Jake is not planning to spend any time in Ojai, or if he does, it's for "work".

The whole thing with the addresses has also shown once again how much hypocrisy and homophobia is out there when it comes to Reeke vs. J&A. Talking about Jake possibly being gay is an invasion of his privacy and hurts him, but talking in detail about where he might be staying, and giving away the address so stalkers can find him is acceptable? Remind me again why the trolls call us the stalkers?

Rattler, I think we all know you're not Jeff. :D I could say a lot more on that subject, but I am going to take the high road and leave it at that.

Thanks, Destiny.
A twig of cherry blossoms for you.

WFT2- WFT2 is linked at right, and has been pretty much since that blog started.

It has been rainy and overcast here. Not such great weather for the blossoms. Yesterday we watched Highway, which was the only Jake movie that Spesh and I had yet to see. So now we can both say that we have seen all of Jake's movies. Today we are going to the Botanic Gardens, which I have never been to and have really wanted to go. They are having an orchid and flowered quilt exhibit right now. Too bad there's no spaghetti exhibit! This morning we walked the dogs in the Aquatic Gardens, so Spesh did get to see some of the cherries. Plus, we saw a Blue Heron and a White Phase Blue Heron. Spesh got some pix of those. I hope they come out! The dogs went to the groomer yesterday so they do not smell like dogs! Atticus, you really should see Tink now!

So what do you think - was Pilot Jake's first gay role?

Anonymous said...

"With Reeke now evryone knows Reese lives in Brentwood and the address in Ojai and all that stuff but Jake's home address has been kept quiet."

Maybe he isn't papped at his house because he doesn't want to anyone to know who is really entering any leaving his house. Once again, a man with something to hide. ;)

destiny said...

Thanks for the cherry blossoms rattler, since we don't have any in NY yet. But we do have sun today.

I'd say Pilot was Jake's first gay role. although a "safe" one to play, in contrast to BBM.

Clarity said...

"the showmance is being run to a large degree by Reese, who really doesn't care about her privacy, and Jake is not planning to spend any time in Ojai, or if he does, it's for "work"."

ITA. Apparently they both feel very diferently on this subject. If they were living together I would think this would pose a big problem. Definately something to talk about before you get married ; )

"I'd say Pilot was Jake's first gay role. although a "safe" one to play, in contrast to BBM."

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that about Jakes role as Pilot.

Special, I have a few comments on Dany's final hurrah on WFT. Granted, I'm kind of annoyed with Jake these days but I am interested in his career (and Austin's). I do plan on seeing "The Informers," "Brothers" and whatever else both will be doing. I'm interested in their growing body of work. But Dany wasn't even interested in them as actors--just whether they were going to come out or not.

I also found her extremely bitter and dismissive toward the rest of the Jake fandom (and Austin fandom). And condescending. And she was very unfair and irrational toward Special.

And where did she think that Rattler was the Reese troll, Jeff??? Wha???

Anyway, good riddance to that and hello to WFT Part 2.

Why did Jake say,"For what reason?".
Just why?

Anonymous said...

Jake asks Reese "Does he have a video camera"?

The pap says: It's cool

Jake says "For what reason"?

Pap says: personally or something than soem brunette chick talks to Jake when he rolls down the window, Jake driving and Reese in passenger seat.

For what reason? That sure sounds like Jake knew the paps were called. Very funny unedited, I'm sure there's a lot of truth to it.

Yes - people esp in a blog theoretically discussing Jake possibly being gay or bisexual and possibly playing the HW game for professional reasons is being disrespectful to Jake and only someone who is a hater would attack him like that.

Yes - releasing detailed address information regarding Jake's 10 week temporary private residence during a film shoot and possibly compromising his physical safety is acceptable, didnt you know?

Get a grip on reality, Destiny. If you discuss gay theory about Jake you're a hater. If you release details about his physical whereabouts you're his friend.

The Bad Seed said...

I hope you know destiny that I was being sarcastic re getting a grip. You're prbly the most reality-based one here! :)

It seems to me that reeke at first are not sure who the pap is and then the girl walks up to the car to tell them its alright it is one of us.

Looking forward much to The Wedding Banquet discussion, guys.

I really liked the music selection for today. I went to Foals myspace page and listened to some of their stuff. Good band. I noticed that you have such diverse music selections on your list. Are they part of your personal collection or do you search different bands?

I have to say you guys are really expanding my musical horizons : )

Anonymous said...

No, not the PA from Joans, this woman looks younger/thinner, probably a friend the way she just ran up to the car to chat a bit. They were shopping and he made the comments as they were getting in the car. She looked surprised that they appeared to still be filming as she approached the car by the look on her face.

Wicked said...

Clarity, it's mostly our own stuff.

Unedited, sorry but name calling tends to get deleted around here. Even virtual name calling. We've let it stand a bit in the past, because we really don't like to delete, but that post was just too much.

destiny said...

I did realize that bad seed. :-). I'm also enjoying the music today, I was just reading something about Foal but hadn't checked them out yet.

Nice use of those forgotten symbol keys. You know they love when the get some work.

I don't mind profanity in my humor. Not at all. But the C word is one of my hot buttons.

It is obviously an invasion of his privacy and it must hurt him, if you consider the amount of time he is spending currently trying to put up a facade. We can decide we don't care and keep talking about it, but it is obviously something he does not want people to do.

Privacy, I suggest you check out the March 12 post on Jake's support for the ACLU and the discussion about freedom of speech.
