Austin talks about making some noise, shouting it out aloud in his latest post over on Southern Gothic Productions.
He used great examples and one of my favorites from Network - "I mad as well and I'm not going to take it any more"
But here's OMG's Top Ten Things Austin's Yelling.
10. Aaahoo, I was in London (Name the song that's the inspriration)
9. I know the Prince of Persia!
8. Wild Turkey calls
7. "Hook 'em Horns."
6. "Yes I love that man of mine."(Name that movie)
5. "Toooooooooothy"
4. &$#K &%@K Goose
3. Some general comments ; )
2. "Al Dente!"
1. "Backgammon baby!"
Another thing the Nichols Network Tribute Shout does is give a geography lesson. Manhattan not just NYC, but Manhattan huh. Over looking the lights of Hollywood? Well you'd have to be up in the hills then, and a deck or balcony? Sounds like its something permanent up there that he's yelling from.
And his question about movies with people yelling from the top of things. Come on Austin a cinephile like you should know - James Cagney in White Heat and Major Kong on the bomb in Dr. Strangelove.
You think Austin howls about this dapper player?
Jake rolling in the Royce and in the club
Thinking Jake didn't need much convincing to do Jamie's video, after he heard the chorus.
Blame it on the goose
Got you feeling loose
Blame it on petron
Got you in the zone
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol
Blame it on the a a a a a a alcohol
And you sure as hell knows he sings this one around the house, but you wonder if he howls too?
And Ron Howard? That's one of his childhood friend's (Bryce Dallas Howard) dad. How funny is that.

Holy crap!
You can't make this stuff up!
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol
alcohol = Austin Nichols Co.
Jake = Austinaalic
Austin = Gyllenhaalic
Are these two codependents and enablers? God, I hope so!
Good catch on the lyrics. Blame it on the goose. I thought Jake looked totally out of place in the video, though I did like the music and did not mind seeing him on the screen for a change. Not sure why any of these cameos are there to be honest.
That ring story is so full of holes its not even funny. Not even worth additional comments.
Special, you're totally right, you can't. Austin had to have known when the vid was coming out, what it was about. And his blog, about being in LA lately, was it a shoutout to something. I think so.
Interesting how the vid came out after the Oscars. The gayest Oscars yet. Don't know about the others in it but Jamie Foxx and Ron Howard, they probably know Jake the best. I think this is more than just a vid, it's a statement.
I'm still digesting Austin's post, and hearing the video will have to wait until tonight. But I agree with M that Jake looks out of place, and I'm not sure why Jamie bothered using any of the celebrities in his video given how little anyone is really in it.
Got to wonder about those lyrics and Jake though, quite a coincidence.
I only saw the start so far but noticed that in the vid there are contrary symbolic images. Jake is wearing a muffler loosely wrapped, but wrapped nonetheless, around his neck, a hat style from the 1940/1950s which was a homophobic era, but at the same time he's the designated driver, in the driver's seat, driving the boat, at the steering wheel.
One more going to the top of the building to let it out - King Kong of course!
I thought Jake looked totally out of place in the video
Ron Howard too!
I think too much is being read into the connection between Austin's blog post and Jake's cameo in this video.
Jake out driving with the top down but all dressed up in formal 40s/50s retro.
I think too much is being read into the connection between Austin's blog post and Jake's cameo in this video.
Where, what have you read? I don't see anything here except someone said Austin had to know when the vid was coming out and what it was about. Is that a "connection" to his blog post about shouting? Or is it somewhere else you saw people write about the 2. If it is I'd like to raed it.
Where, what have you read?
I've read what's written here. Just getting a sense that people are seeing some hidden meaning in them that I don't see.
Hey everyone! That was cool - Austin's entry. Just finished reading it - I like something that makes me think or wonder for just a minute. Wish we had tall buildings around here.
Love the post today, Special. I especially like Numbers 10, 9, and 7.
I haven't watched the video yet. I'm just not a fan of rap music so I don't know if I can hack listening to the whole thing just to see mr jakey in it. Oh! lightbulb! Guess I could turn down the volume, lol. A little slow here, I know. It seems like quite a coincidence that the lyrics say something about Goose. That's a riot. But I don't see any connection to that and Austin's post.
I think more people are maybe reacting to Austin mentioning being back in L.A. And howling, of course, lol!
Well, had me one more sausage/cheese breakfast ball for lunch and a bit more of the chili cheese Frito dip/salad. Man, that stuff is pretty darn good. Trying to decide whether or not to go for a piece of the German choc. cake.
m, I liked your comment on the ring story. So full of holes.
I know. It's really so not believable. Your comments always have such a calming effect on me. I always wait to see what you have to say to stuff the next day. You are the sense of reason & common sense.
Well, back to work. Hope I get to walk. It's supposed to rain today. Thunderstorm. With my aluminum walking stick, I'd be a walking human lightning rod. Zzzzzttt! Talk about the bug zapper.
I've caught DFord 2 times now. I know now that he has camped out at the south entrance of the park. And yesterday, I passed him on the country road I was coming in on and I was much relieved that he was going to be gone when I got there. But darn if that guy didn't come back about 35 or so minutes later and come through the park again. And this time, he drove right my way and I practically stopped in the road & gave the big stare. I suppose that wasn't polite or nice. But I am getting really fed up with it. Who spends that much time at a park without even using it? I could think of alot of other things I'd be doing, blogging for one. lol. Then he had to drive by again on his way out. Aaaarghh. I can't stand it.
Deep breath. Okay, I'm good.
Everybody have a nice afternoon! Talk to you later!
Family Guy - Reese Witherspoon's Chin
Bitch-Back! Readers Totally Not Into Fake Relationships
Dear Ted:
Am I the only one who thought that Reese Witherspoon looked pregnant in that blue gown at the Oscars?
— RMZ
Dear Bump Watch:
No.
Dear Ted:
I saw a lot of suspicious bearding couples at the Oscars. Did any of the closeted actors bring a boyfriend as a date to the Oscar parties like Crisp Lisp did years ago? I bet Toothy Tile was there with his beard, but did Gray Goose use the back door to get in?
— Reggie
Dear Goose on the Loose:
Whose back door are you talking about?
Dear Ted:
It is Toothy Tile’s four-year anniversary in March. It’s been a long way and he is huge now (there is even an academic paper written about him!) Could you tell us how you see him in the next four years? Happy Toothy anniversary!
— Claudia
Dear Stud Study:
I love it. We should all call him Professor Tooth at this point!
The Awful Truth
song:
"Blame it on the goose
Got you feeling loose"
Ted:
"Goose on the Loose"
Well, that certainly explains all the doctors' visits Reese and Jake have been making over the last year at the same time, same place. Almost since their "relationship" began.
In vitro takes a while to kick in. They should have just gone for the turkey-baster method, much quicker and much more successful.
What stood out to me was: Bump Watch No. ;)
Whose back door are you talking about?,
LOL. Cheeky Ted. But I wish he'd answer some questions along the way too.
I did not intentionally try to link Austin's shouting post about Jake's video debut. I just had to put the video and the goose thing in there after I heard the song.
Now-
Dear Goose on the Loose:
Whose back door are you talking about?
Now how the heck did Ted know
I was going to play Howlin' Wolf's Backdoor Man today? .... kinda spooky.
What does RMZ mean, I wonder? Anything?
Bump watch - no, didn't notice that one at first. Good eye, In Vivo. I didn't think she looked it at all in that dress. Sounds like she's trying to give that impression now, tho. That can't go very long. If she was as far along as "it looked" in that bloat picture, she'd be showing even more now, plus like m said, it would show in her face and in her chi-chis. And as a matter of fact, in the VF dress, you'd swear there was fashion tape strapping those puppies down. This is ridiculous all the stirring over a mythical pregnancy. I can't get over it. It's beyond stupid. I also can't believe Reese would stoop to pretending something like this. What's she trying to do to her kids? Ava's got to go to school and hear the questions. I heard your mom's knocked up, Ava! Is it true? She ain't married either, is she? Is she gonna marry your Uncle Jake?
It's beyond comprehension. Man, Reese, I actually gave you more credit than that. How stupid and midwestern of me, I guess.
Nice reference of Ted to loose goose. Coincidence, not, I think? And love the backdoor mention. lol
Well! Try & beat the rain today. Here's hoping!
I think all the pregnancy nonsense is not really for the purpose of making people think she's pregnant, but for the purpose of making people think Jake actually has sex with her. Instead it's just another in a long line of reasons why we all know this is fake.
" but for the purpose of making people think Jake actually has sex with her. Instead it's just another in a long line of reasons why we all know this is fake."
Who really know????
I do. Jake is bearding with Reese because he doesn't want sex with women.
No bloat, just sour face:
reese
reese sans makeup
"I do. Jake is bearding with Reese because he doesn't want sex with women."
Yeah for sure you know!
What does RMZ mean
Hahahahahahahahaha LOL, holy shit. Not laughing at you Pg, laughing at what I saw and thot when I saw RMZ and then I thot noooooo Ted never in a million years can't mean that. Can't. No one else will see it or say anything about it and then YOU you wonderful thing, you did. haha. Could be how the writer signed but if it isn't, Ted has great shit. OK here it is, DMZ is military/jarhead term for demilitarized zone, also a computer programming term. A DMZ is a buffer between 2 enemies (in computers its the zone between a secure internal network and the unsafe internet). Its a zone neither party-enemy crosses.
Swear, when I saw RMZ after that letter on a baby bump which would mean Reese had sex with Jake, 1st thing I saw was Reese Demilitarized Zone. the uncrossed untouched verboten area between two enemies. Damn Ted is goooood. You too PG, observent girl.
In military terms, a demilitarized zone (DMZ) is an area, usually the frontier or boundary between two or more military powers (or alliances), where military activity is not permitted, usually by peace treaty, armistice, or other bilateral or multilateral agreement. Wiki DMZ
Ted's mention of Goose and Loose can't be a coincidence. Did he have a sneak preview of the song.
Reese and her bloated stomach have been on the radar for over a year. The bump never gets any bigger. She may have to deal with it through a press statement. It's hard enough to get a job with that chin, let alone with rumors of her being pregnant.
Yeah for sure you know!
Yes, I do. You are free to think and believe whatever you like.
oops: RMZ = the Reese Militarized Zone.
Reese has been "pregnant" since 2006! She has a bloated stomach. It's just the normal shape of her body. Examples: May 2006, June 2006, May 2008
RMZ = 1)Reese's girly zone Jake does not get near and 2)for Reese a zone off limits for pregnancy
"oops: RMZ = the Reese Militarized Zone."
well keep DMZ please LOL
Anon 6:29, DMZ and RMZ are the same thing!
I liked the song and the video but I didn't understand why the celebs were there at all. I thought it was going to be like a mini-movie at first. What was the point if they weren't going to DO anything?
Is loading the Austins/Southern Gothic site taking forever for anyone else?
10. Werewolf in London!
6. Beetlejuice (goose juice?)
4. [Special your so nasty, love it]
2. Al dente = "to the tooth"
Tooth:
noun - taste or appetite (esp. in the phrase sweet tooth)
verb - (of two gearwheels) to engage
Ps. I don't know about backgammon #1, give a shout out?
Umm shouting from a deck or a balcony in LA seeing the lights. Deck usually means pool deck. Shouting from the HW Hills not so good if theres close neighbors with 911 on speed dial. But with lots of room and a shitload of vegitation adsorbing the sound, sure it'll work. Just gotta be careful coyotes don't think its a mating call.
Thanks smiley. I can't get google working either.
'm just not a fan of rap music
PG its not rap. Its boring-soothing actually I almost fell asleep. Sorry Jamie if you read this lol.
"Shouting from the HW Hills not so good if theres close neighbors with 911 on speed dial."
Nah. They're too busy looking through their image stabilizing binoculars!
love 1, 4, 5, :D
Poor Atticus must be freaked big time!
Hey, any neighbors wanna give an account of what they saw? ;)
Back from class - what a wonderful class it was, too. I'm really sorry it's only 4 weeks long and this was my last one. I could listen to that guy's stories forever. He has experienced so much, some really incredible things. And he's seen alot of horror and pain. It's that stuff that really makes one sit & think. Realize that you don't have it half bad at all.
Oh, it's not rap? I thought I had read that it was.
Well, thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Because guess what??? Yup, next week is it. The Big V!!!! First of 2009. One of the best things about it, besides getting to lounge around in bed, is hopefully getting to walk in the morning. He can just drive out there & circle around all he wants; I won't have to worry about it.
Well, I need to hit the hay. Pretty tired today. Hope all is well with everyone. Sweet dreams!
I'm still puzzling over Austin's latest post. I feel like there is something I can't quite put my finger on, so I'll just throw out some random thoughts.
Austin, who seemingly used to shout out his feelings with that blue ring, now shouting from roofs and balconies. The ring could be seen by all, but the screaming, done at night, even if heard, is not likely to be identified.
Actions speak louder than words.
HW turns him into a beast and/or monster.
He probably does it alone and there is a feeling of loneliness to it. Unless of course you can get people to join you in that scream, ala Network.
Hey, any neighbors wanna give an account of what they saw?
yip yap yip yap yip yap yip yap yap yap yip yap yap grrrrrr yip yip yip yip yip grr grr rawrrr squeeeeeeeee
Now THIS is exciting. I hope it comes to pass--I think Jake (and Jim Carrey) would be great: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118000631.html?categoryid=13&cs=1
What else would a Red Sox fan do but do Damn Yankees.
Jake might get to do his musical after all.
Jake in Damn Yankees from New Line Pictures. Sounds good but the script hasn't been written yet. Jake in a musical LoL who wants to bet he sings falsetto. Yeah that'll keep the gay/bi rumors away.
Variety Damn Yankees
I would love to see Jake in a musical.
The video for Peter Doherty's latest song ends with an extended gay kiss. gay kiss
Hey Special, did you see that Brady got married.
Oh the irony, Tab Hunter played Boyd in the original film.
Yes I did. It was all over the news at 11. I thought it was sweet that his little boy Jack was there, although Gisele and her three dogs dressed in Dolce & Gabbana was a little too much.
LOL, didn't hear about the dogs. I want to see that. :-D
Tab Hunter LOL. its ironic Spesh. Sad maybe. Might make Jake get the closet door sealed shut like a coffin.
While in the musical the tea is The Washington Senator, The North Shore Musical Theater, up here in Beverly MA, got special permission to use the Red Sox as Boyd/Hardy's team.

^^ by the time the script gets written and the movie is a go
20 years ago Rob Lowe sang the opening Oscar musicals dance number with Snow White and Merv Griffin which is funny enough. But get this, the Snow White singing and dancing is a dead ringer for Jake in drag. OMFG

I think names get attached to pics just to help them get financing. We'll see if this latest movie ever comes to pass. Could take years. At least this one has a prior play and movie script to copy.
Sometimes I think the universe conspires. We have an Austin blog, howling, and Jake in a video that blames it on the Goose, all in the same day. Very weird. I do believe in fate and that one can not escape their destiny.
Oh my god, here's the tag line on ONTD. "Gyllenhaal to be in musical, remains "straight" while doing so" PR is going to love that.
I feel sundenly stupid cause i realise, only now, there are different person who post on this blog lol
At least someone in our team
Cause lately I find ONTD a bit too Reeke fan for my taste.
Jake took the Desert Palm Achievement award and broke out into a little song and dance during his acceptance. The "Brokeback Mountain" star said, "I already did a gay cowboy movie this year. If I did a musical people might start asking questions. But don't think it's not beating deeply in my veins, and the urge is deep. Deep, deep urge."
Honey, the question ship has already sailed.
Variety January 2006
musical is trendy now!
It could be a good project thought
So will Jake marry Reese to make him look straight while he's prancing and crooning in falsetto?
Of course not.
Poor Atticus must be freaked big time!
High ear tinny but got no fleas, Austihowl stuns bugs dead.
m said "Sometimes I think the universe conspires. We have an Austin blog, howling, and Jake in a video that blames it on the Goose, all in the same day. Very weird."
ITA. I just hope its a good fate.
destiny said "He probably does it alone and there is a feeling of loneliness to it."
Maybe alone, probably. But to me he sounded excited in his blog, happy not lonely. Howling in the night looking at the lights in the city feeling at one with nature. What I got from reading it was he's exhilarated, maybe exhausted too but happy kind of overwhelmed. And those 2 feelings, exhilarated and exhausted, we all know what they might come from.
"we all know what they might come from."
excited by his new role maybe?????
I feel someone really happy with his professional life
I kind of believe in fate and destiny too M, but it is what you do with it that makes you the kind of person you are. For example, I think it was fate that brought J&A together, but whether they make that work is up to them.
I do think Austin sounds exhilarated in his post, but for a different reason than you mother goose. Based on the reference to Lumet/Network and the man shouting I'm going to do it, I think Austin may be exhilarated because he's finally letting out his anger, desires and needs, and that maybe he is actually going to do something about them.
I don't get the feeling it is being done because he feels one with nature (too many references to urban landscapes) and I don't think someone would take up screaming just to express happiness. If he's screaming about Baby Tile, it's because he's not allowed to talk about him, so it would probably be a mix of all kinds of emotions.
I do think Austin seems happy with his work. It sounds like getting out of L.A. and being around the people on OTH has been really good for him.
If you looking the overall tone of the post - you see he is talking about Mona and Lincoln. A love story. And he's in love too.
I think he is telling the world it doesn't matter what they think - he doesn't care.
I'm not sure what you mean by telling the world it doesn't matter what they think and not caring.

This is what I mean Destiny
"Go to the window now. Or the roof. Or climb a tree.
It doesn't matter.
Just get as high as you can and shout as loud as you can.
Whatever it is that you dream about.
Or whoever you love.
Yell it from the rooftops for all to hear.
And do it often.
And for Godsakes, do it at night.
Romance, people. Romance!!!"
That is the most important thing. In Network - it was doing what he wanted and not caring about whatever people think. Same about shouting out your dreams. It doesn't matter what others people think its you and yours that matter most. Don't the world's opinion matter.
Thanks for clarifying that Special. So it means telling the whole world because you don't care what anyone thinks.
I guess I'm having a hard time believing that for Austin that means he's personally screaming about love and romance because there is just no way to reconcile that with living in the closet.
And all this talk of screaming makes me think very much of Milk, because of course that was so much a part of his message. You've got to let people know you're gay for there to be change.
