Austin can charm many, but what is it? That look? That smile? That funky fashion? Or that he is just one hell of a sweet talker who can lie like a rug.
He has crashed parties, gotten an agent, started a career and got jobs on that charm.
He's claimed to been a party guest, a tennis player and great at basketball. He's even charmed his way out of a broken nkle from Milch & Company. And if you can get past Milch's bullshit meter, you must be good, damn good.
If he ever put the Southern drawl with it who's to know what he could do. He could chat you up, pick your pocket and have you saying thank you.
Now what happens with a when a such sweet talker meets a sweet Tooth?

Thanks for another inspirational post Special. There really is something about this tall Texan.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I received my JFC DVD and I can hardly wait to sit down and enjoy it all over again, one episode at a time, in full control of the remote...
Who knows where all this observation and discussion will end, I just hope it ends well for the Boy that can sing... and his Buck.
Cheers to all believers, and to those with hope.
"hope springs eternal in the human breast.."
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post. I doubt there are many who could resist his charms.
ReplyDeleteOh he uses that charm very well you know that, but sure that family and friends know when he is. You know his sister takes one look at him and know its nothing but BS.
ReplyDeleteBut he knows that he is charmer and a half and big ole liar and he loves it. He cracks that grin like, yup I am completely full of it, but you fell for it.
And who would ever play poker with Austin? He can play it so close to the vest when he wants to, you couldn't trust him at the table as far as a you could flip a chip. He pull you in with a bluff so big, you be all in and find yourself paying off the big blind with a pieces of jewelry and whatever else you could find on you. Then you're busted and he's sitting there grinning.
Wait a minute... how did Austin get Big Blue again... : )
Seaweed, you must listen to Episode 1 with the commentary on, just to hear Milch expound on Rebecca De Mornay's ass and Luis Guzman's belly! Spesh says the commentary on Episode 10 is also good, because Milch is really bitter.
ReplyDeleteWhat, no on set shenanigans yet? I'm disappointed!
ReplyDeleteHe'll pull you in with a bluff so big, you be all in and find yourself paying off the big blind with a pieces of jewelry and whatever else you could find on you.
ReplyDeleteHeh. The possibilities . . . ;)
Wicked, I'm SO looking forward to the commentary by Milch. (Speaking of commentaries, I'm reminded of why I loved Bubble Boy so much, it was the commentary with Jake and Director Blair Hayes that... to my pleasure, high-lighted that crazy and so very open Jake Gyllenhaal, as he talked and charmed his way through the entire 84 minutes.) I'd love to hear Jake and Austin sit down and discuss the making of TDAT, now wouldn't that be a treat for all TB's. ...But for tonight, it's JFC episode 1.
ReplyDeletehey Special. I don't hear any music today. I dont see the little slider/counter moving either. Is it just me?
ReplyDeleteClarity
ReplyDeleteWicked had mentioned something earlier and we both thought it was her machine.
So after you mentioned. I went back and reload the music. Refresh and hopefully it will play.
haha...ok. Here we go!!
ReplyDeleteI hear it now (dancing around the room) : )
What happens when a sweet talker meets a sweet tooth? So much sexual electricity that I can feel it even here, just from a film clip or photograph taken years ago. Those two have something special. I recall some discussion about how some of the shots in TDAT seemed to be framed around Jake and Austin. You know Roland, an out gay man himself, had to see that sexual aura. We should be thanking him for a film extra.
ReplyDeleteToally agree with everything you said M.
ReplyDeleteInterview with Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow and Maggie in the weekend edition of USA Today
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the first comic books you ever read?
Maggie: I didn't read comic books. And my brother [actor Jake Gyllenhaal] read "Mad Magazine," which wasn't the same. I'm not really a major comic book reader. [Laughs.]
Mad Magazine and Wacky Packs. Oh yeah can totally see that.

From Who Knew Jessica Biel Would Be the Nice One?
ReplyDeleteFrom Crazy Days and Nights blog
And who would ever play poker with Austin? He pull you in with a bluff so big, you be all in and find yourself paying off the big blind with a pieces of jewelry and whatever else you could find on you. Then you're busted and he's sitting there grinning.
ReplyDeleteStrip poker. you're nekkid as a jailbird and hes grinning like a cheshire cat.
Did you know that Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal were doing a movie together? Kind of the perfect couple if you ask me. No demands for either of them. But, that is not the point of this post. The pair is filming a movie entitled Nailed which is filming in South Carolina.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great things about the internet is that everyone wants to contribute gossip. Last week we got the great Ry Ry hissy fit from Ryan Reynolds in Boston, and this week we get Jake the Diva in South Carolina.
On Wednesday Jake was filming a scene in the South Carolina State House. This was going to be one day of filming. Had to get done, because the producers had not made any arrangements for any other days inside the building. Everyone was on their very best behavior and knew they would have only one chance. But someone forgot to tell Jake.
“He was complaining that the room was too small, complaining about the temperature, complaining about his chair,” our source says. “It was like watching a two-year old have a meltdown every five minutes.”
He complained so long, and so often that the crew was forced to shut down early, and the producers had to arrange for an extra day of filming. I'm just guessing that Jake has maybe found some southern loving and just wants to do everything in his power to stay a little longer. To be fair to Jake, the director of the film is the same guy who directed I Heart Huckabees and caused Lily Tomlin to almost kill herself. Word has it that James Caan who was also starring in this film quit after being abused by the director.
On the other hand, the person you would think would be more diva has actually been a joy. Jessica Biel has talked to anyone and everyone. She has posed for hundreds and hundreds of photos and even was seen turning cartwheels on the grounds of the State House. It seems that everyone in the town has fallen in love with Jessica Biel. And why not? She has her dog with her and her "trainer" and best of all, no Justin.
Text from Ent Lawyer. Read the part in bold. Is Ent saying Austin is there?! Because Reese sure as hell ain't!
That whole article is full of little hints about both Jake and Jessica. And interesting thing to say about the reason for the fits. Could be that Austin is there.
ReplyDeleteI liked this part.
ReplyDeleteKind of the perfect couple if you ask me. No demands for either of them.
But it is Shakey, after all.
Jake on the set yesterday
ReplyDeleteLooks like at least Jake hasn't quit yet!
Is it me or does Carrie Underwood look like Reese, except Underwood is prettier?
ReplyDeleteBig house, Southern loving, no reese. Sounds awful nice to me.
ReplyDeleteNow watch she'll be there tomorrow.
What will happen to the shooting schedule for Nailed if James Caan has really left and has to be recast? Will they have to shut down for a while?
ReplyDeleteI am not a big church goer but I promise God I will go to church if we get a Jausty picture.
ReplyDeleteI want me some Candy(Jausty)!
Damn, Tom, pulling out all the stops!
ReplyDeleteI am about to make Special very happy. I think Jake wanted his family together on this very special religious holiday.
ReplyDeleteJake/TT + Austin/GG + BT = FAMILY
The NY Post's blog picked up the Caan story and Jakes "moment" on set.
ReplyDeleteWell at least is late on a Friday afternoon and will get buried over the weekend.
David O. Russell strikes again
Holidays are a time for family indeed.
ReplyDeleteAnd so are birthdays!
And who has one next week? ; )
FYI - X17online has pictures of Reese walking Atticus
ReplyDeleteLink
Read the comments on the Reese walking Atticus pics. Not pretty. Looks like the Babblers haven't gotten there yet.
ReplyDeleteThis whole campaign was designed to make Reese look like less of a bitch. From these comments, it ain't workin'.
ReplyDeleteAtti's waiting to poop in Reese's car instead of in front of the paps.
ReplyDeleteShame about poor Atti's contribution to the 'mance :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Spesh. We know how sweet and charming both Austina nd Jake are; imagine if we ever got to see them (gasp) interact with each other??
Austina nd? Or Austin and?
ReplyDeleteOut late tonight :)
Atticus looks less than thrilled. Poor boy, he's gotten older.:*
ReplyDeletewhats funny is the matching leash/hair band. Reese looks soo uncomfortable, why did she think she could walk a big dog [or even a small one] holding 2 cups of coffee and a bag??!! talk about inexperienced w/animals, its obvious she dont know nothin about dog walking. [Prob has a nanny for that too. ] The whole thing looks like a bad last minute photo setup. Poor atticus.
hunter, i hope he did after holding it in for 3 days! lol
ReplyDeleteNice to see her using one of the usual pap agencies.
ReplyDeleteAtticus's usual sitter must be in the state South Carolina. OH MY!
ReplyDeleteReese tries to unlock the wrong car
ReplyDeleteWonder who the second coffee is for? The flynet guy again?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Austin post, he's gorgeous and wonderful, what more needs to be said.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to the X17 photos, the sniffing the lamppost photo is perfect. You have to give Reese some credit, she's committed to maintaining the Reeke image, however humiliating it becomes.
We know you're a Babbler, Cat.
ReplyDeleteNew pics of Jake on the set from IHJ
ReplyDeleteIt couldn't be more humiliating than being without a guy, Meg, and having to suffer Jen Aniston-style lonely heartbreak stories. Reeke is protecting her from that :D
ReplyDeleteSo tis little bobblehead post tells us that J and A are together for Passover. Awesome. Holidays are meant for love ones to be together.
ReplyDeleteJake's looking great!
ReplyDeleteWicked must be happy that you can see his strong jaw again.
Another tricky 'do for him. Congress goes tame while the CIA went for large and in charge. You can see how they tamed his waves behind his ear.
Very Jr. Congressman looking with the club tie and white shirt.
And the crew, total SC casual, right down to his Palmetto belt. (South Carolinians love their Palmettos)
Special k I know you like to believe yo have such a great authority on style. Give us a beak would you? Please!
ReplyDeleteI think the pics with Atticus would have been more realistic if she was out in a park setting with her own dog too. Not that im trying to give PR any ideas. : )
ReplyDeleteAnd of course Flynet just had to make sure everyone KNEW it was Jakes dog. Unbelievable.
"It couldn't be more humiliating than being without a guy, Meg, and having to suffer Jen Aniston-style lonely heartbreak stories. Reeke is protecting her from that :D"
ITA, I thinks she wants to make it seem like she has gotten over her ex-husband completely. But thats just not realistic.
DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.
ReplyDeleteDO NOT FEED THE TROLL.
DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.
And of course Flynet just had to make sure everyone KNEW it was Jakes dog. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Atticus pics came from X17. I don't see them on their personal pap site - Flynet. Do they have X17 in their pocket now too?
Reeke uses both Flynet and x17 pretty regularly.
ReplyDeleteLive Style Alone- just checked Sitemeter and the IP address that we know to be Fluorescent Lamp is on the blog. That wouldn't be you, now, would it dear? And if you want someone to give you a "beak", sorry but you'll have to get it for yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt just so happened it was X17 this time (sorry). They are both the same in my mind when it comes to Reeke.
ReplyDeleteWoo-hee! Big Papi just hit a grand slam! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater . . . ;)
good on you, Wicked. good on you!!
ReplyDelete*wonders what wicked sees when bad seed is on meter*
Sadly Jake does not have the cordovan shoes on!
ReplyDelete*wonders what wicked sees when bad seed is on meter*
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I, uh, do a lot of erratic lurking. ;)
I chuckled over that picture of Reese watching Atticus sniffing the pole. "omg, omg. He's sniffing this pole! Why are we stopping? My dog doesn't do this! At least that's what I've been told." I don't think she has any natural rapport with animals in general, but she's probably not used to walking a big dog. The dainty leash work is so funny but good boy, Atticus for not pulling on your leash; you're well-trained. :)
We use our Sitemeter powers for good.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see Reese with Atticus, I think that she must have "people" who take care of her dog. She clearly does not know how to relate to one. And has she ever been photographed walking her own dog? I would imagine that has happened rarely, if at all. Makes it that much more obvious that these types of pics are nothing but photo ops.
ReplyDeleteP. S. I've decided to use the Sitemeter powers for world domination, as soon as I figure out how.
ReplyDeleteSince Reeke, we've only seen her dog once as I recall and Jake was walking it, lol.
ReplyDelete^^ :)
ReplyDeleteIt just makes me cringe to see those pics. Juggling coffee and trying to walk a large dog, as someone mentioned above, does not shout dog-walking experience. Poor Atti! You can see from his doggie body language that he's not thrilled. Where's the wagging tail, the doggie smile? Probably misses Jake. :(
He should be bounding around on the park, not sniffing common city street poles! Where's he expected to do his business? Or is that when the changing of caretaker took place? ;)
ReplyDeleteSince you're on the topic I'll chime in.
ReplyDeleteReese is actually a pretty big dog person. She has a dog walker but really likes dogs. She always took good care of Ryan's dog. Although he had three cats at one time then they were gone. That could have been because of the babies or something.
I do have something more on topic for your board:
Maggie and Peter are getting married late summer/early fall. I can't give the details but they are making it official.
yea those dog pics are pathetic.
ReplyDeletemaybe its just me but when I walk my dogs or friends dogs, even if its a routine walk we [the dog and me] have a good ol time, wagging and petting and laughing and me talking to the dog and looking at each other. always happy, having a good time outside and exploring. but Reese? nah, she looks like she regrets taking him out. Bet that's the last time we see them together, she'll prob keep him and his gosh darn fleas in the yard for the next 10 weeks.

ReplyDeleteMy Friday-Night mishmash of replies:
Couldn't be more humiliating than being without a guy, Meg, and having to suffer Jen Aniston-style lonely heartbreak stories. Reeke is protecting her from that :D
And the funny, or ironical thing (depending on each and everyone's POV), is that Aniston is most probably very happy to be single! :D
About beardless Jake: If only for this, I'm happy Jake nailed Nailed!
Sadly Jake does not have the cordovan shoes on!
Spesh, I think I've been marked for life now. Each time I see Jake in some formal-looking outfit I'm checking the shoes to see if those damn cordovans are back. ;D
Reese-with-coffee-and-Atticus look ridiculous to me, that's all. And those "I'm-a-very-busy-celebrity-who-needs-tons-of-caffeine" pics are really getting old… PR, please find other props for these guys. Thank you.
Live Style Alone- just checked Sitemeter and the IP address that we know to be Fluorescent Lamp is on the blog.
FluLamp, may I suggest Women Who Love Too Much? I know OMG can be addictive, but such affection is really getting embarrassing...
Talking about irresistible stuff, I haven't listened to Milch's commentary yet. I wanted to enjoy JFC "au naturel" first, and I found myself rewinding and rewinding again just to have a better look at Austin and hear him say his lines once more. By the way, thanks for another beautiful Austy-flavored Friday post.
P.S. Wonderful to learn that Seaweed got JFC too! :) :)
To me it looks like just one more thing to multi-task - she's set her jaw, not smiling,looking like she just wants to get it done. It still appears to me that Atticus isn't used to her.
ReplyDeleteTR I have a hard time believing Reese lovs dogs. maybe likes them or prefers them over cats, but not loves them. and btw they dont look like they love her, thats a clue right there.
ReplyDeletefrenchy, you are on the mark [flulamp, i love it!] and a treasure.
Maggie and Peter are getting married late summer/early fall. I can't give the details but they are making it official."
ReplyDeleteI thought they got married in Martha's Vineyard last summer. Jake said they had gotten married on one of the talk shows when he was doing promotion for "Rendition."
From what I knew she loved her dogs. She had a Chihuahua mixed breed for 12 or 13 years and was devestated when he died. She took Frank everywhere let him sleep in her bed overfed the hell out of him. She really does like dogs.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if she LOVES them. She can be pretty cold and practical but she certainly doesn't dislike dogs.
"And those "I'm-a-very-busy-celebrity-who-needs-tons-of-caffeine" pics are really getting old… PR, please find other props for these guys. Thank you."
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA....LMAO. No truer words have been written Frenchy.
Reese might like dogs but I don't think she and Atticus have much love or connection at all.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a dog look that uncomfortable.
Sorry, but a Chihuahua should never be placed on the same level as a German Shepherd.
ReplyDeleteA Shepherd is a quick, intelligent, fiesty, brave, loyal and fun-loving companion.
A Chihuahua is a bug-eyed chachki that snaps and growls.
Caring for the former requires dedication and time. The later a fannypack.
To say that Reese loves dogs because she carried around and slept with a rat that barks is an affrontery to all real canines.
TR Overfeeding a dog [any pet] really isnt love. It isnt. at. all.
ReplyDeletePoodles are the second smartest canines (only Border Collies are smarter). I love poodles.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she prefers little dogs, but a large dog isn't her cup of tea. My hackles are raised when I hear about people treating living things like accessories, not to say that Reese does, but the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Overfeeding is just not caring for an animal properly, period. Sometimes a dog is very rambunctious, and needs room to run for an outing, not a quick trip to Starbuck's and a pee at a lampost. :(
ReplyDeleteSometimes a dog is very rambunctious, and needs room to run for an outing, not a quick trip to Starbuck's and a pee at a lampost.
ReplyDeleteSome dogs a long off leash run is a must every day. And lots and lots of play.
hate to say it but I wonder if TR who posted is not the same TR we know. could be flulamp defending reese. hope everyone gets a blogger id so we know who they are. anyone can put TR but is it the same one??
ReplyDeleteokay so call me snarky and kill me but look what photoshop does for Reese.

I agree with clarity, frenchy, so perfectly said! Can we toss in hideous purses hanging off the bent arms holding said coffees? Oh, and workout clothes worn as everyday wear? (this is not just directed at Reese).
Not to drill the Reese and dogs discussion into the ground, but I think if Reese really loved dogs there'd be some genuine PDA between herself and Atticus. Not for show, but because she wouldn't be able to help herself. With him or any other dog. I know I'd be at his level on bended knee, talking to him and scratching that furry neck with both hands. I'd want to be his friend and I'd work at it. :)
^^Oh me too BLTB. :)
ReplyDeleteAll in all not a good week for Jake or Reese, I think. The Umbrella pics made him look foolish. The tantrum got negative press on several sites including a weekend headline on Defamer. He looks like a kid in today's pics. Reese looks absolutely terrible in her recent pics. No chemistry at all with Atti. Someone needs to tell her that her days of going without makeup are over. It happens to all women, sadly. Still, if you had asked me a week ago, I would have said we'd get hardly any press until Brothers came out, but we have had a real feast. I'm loving it. Can't wait to see what next week brings.
ReplyDeletehe looks more like an intern that a congress person in the movie pics.
ReplyDeleteforgot - i smell sex and candy. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know some of these comments are just plain stupid on Atticus. I take offense as working with rescues and being a foster mom for all kinds of breeds. Yes Reese has a hand full of stuff but then again Atticus as you can see is quite trained and I see nothing wrong with her taking him w/ her for coffee. Dogs love to just be with you no matter how long or how short the ride/ walk is. Atticus looks fine to me. Some of you people read too much into a second in time really it is getting so old. Oh and maybe from where some of you come from there are no flea meds but responsible dog owners have them on them. Bash Jake and Reese all you want but lay off the dog as he can't defend himself from your stupid idiotic comments about him and his mind set. Usually I find it quite funny and entertaining here but some of you are just plain scary! I also find the comment about the Chihuahua quite offensive. I have a female here that is a permenant foster due to the hard life she had before coming into the rescue. I prefer large dogs but she fits in just fine with the others and is such a joy. I would have never picked that breed if I was going to get a small dog but sometimes they pick you. Oh and I also have a white long haired German Shepherd here and the 2 of them play together all the time. It is quite cute.
ReplyDeleteOk, this is my last post tonight, I swear. While reading Defamer just now:
ReplyDeleteJake As Boo Berry
There's a photoshop rendering I'd love to see. ;)
Wicked, now I know for sure that you have absolutely NO clue what to do with sitemeter.
ReplyDeleteSorry m, but what was so foolish about the umbrella pics? They are shooting a freaking movie, I'have seen people looking far more foolish than that. Also Jake looking really young is not necessarily a bad thing. Actually in those pics he looks really hot. Finally clean shaven and as far as I am concerned that is good.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is exactly that you love, the fact tat according to you it was nota good week for Jake or the fact thta you can bitch about it or what?
must be uv flulamp and the babble trolls with nuttin to do on a friday nite. again.
ReplyDeleteeven the dcers are getting sick of uv and babblers. no one talks to uv over there the only time she posts is to tell everyone jake is str8 and no one likes her cos she thinks she knows it all. [she doesnt have a clue.] why are the babblers coming over here, isnt their own blog enuff?? someone like that has problems, way more than just jake/reese problems.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...sunglasses have changed after nearly 6 months? or are the matching ones worn only for the pohto ops?
ReplyDeleteA funny little post on Austin. Some new pics of Jake from the set.
ReplyDelete93 replies - 70% of them "discussing" pictures of Reese with Atticus.
Note to PR - job is done. Reese has again taken over a thread.
It doesn't matter, Reeke is what is being presented. Talking about Reeke isn't the same as believing Reeke.
ReplyDeleteTr is the real tr. I'm happy to believe Reese is good with small dogs, being soooo tiny herself. She looks awkward with Atticus.
Reese only appears to wear the aviator shades when she's photographed with Jake, flf. They are so together, y'know? ;)
