PoP making it's presence known on The Streets of San Francisco
(funny don't see Michael Douglas anywhere
but Austin seems to own some of the wardrobe
It's WonderCon, and Jake joins Bruckheimer, Mike Newell, Jordan Mechner for an exclusive look at PoP. And there are a lot of tweets of people at WonderCon excited to see Jake.
Think there will be a lot of PoP appeal, and a good reception, because as great of clips that we've seen already, you know Bruck is saving the best for last, and there is no better place to show it off than somewhere like WonderCon.
iPad
Missed WonderCon because you were on line waiting for the new Ipad? Well Disney's got you covered there too. They have unseen scenes of PoP just for the Ipad, along with the upcoming Sorcerer's Apprentice, or read aps with the Bud and Woody. Wonder if Jake getting one in his Disney Easter Basket?
Peeps
It's that time again, when Peeps, that marshmallow confection that you either love or loathe is back for the annual Peep Show sponsored by the Washington Post.
Super Peepio Bros.What about a video game that is going to be a movie? I'm calling it before anyone else! Next year look out here comes the Prince of Peepsia!
Now the Ostriches will be easy peasey, but Peeps doing parkour... there's a challenge.
Play Ball. That's right right baseball's back baby and it's Opening Day tomorrow. And what better way to start it off is the Red Sox vs. Yankees in Fenway.
Think these guys will agree.Go Sox!
Wonder if Jake is getting some bunny duty in this weekend. You know reading Pat the Bunny, doing the Bunny Hop, helping the Easter Bunny, and oh yeah... ... like a bunny. ; )
...and the Q's ? That's up to you.

There is talk that Jake's getting back together with Kiki.
Jake and Kiki
Honestly I think that rags and gossips know that people will read about Jake and there is no story if he's single so they are going to hook him up with anyway and with anyone they can. And it makes a good story now that Ms W. and her many are splashed everywhere.
Very good point Vanity Fair about Isabelle being in Australia.
Still think that Lainey's pushing herself and new this story would get some attention.
Wow- no ducks in the backyard here I was definitely so much luckier than others. Hope that all this great sunshine helps dry everything out for you. Incredible weather, it looks like we're grilling Easter dinner.
^^Thanks Spesh, things aren't too bad. I hope this beautiful weather keeps up too. Thanks for the reminder about the Peeps, I love them. Love that Red Sox/Yankees kiss and make up pic too. :)
Have a great Easter, all.
Jake Gyllenhaal wants to act in more comedies because he finds them ''challenging''.
Jake Gyllenhaal loves comedy.
The 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' actor insists he wants to make more movies that do not take themselves seriously, because it is such a challenging genre to get right.
He said: "Comedy is really what I enjoy the most. And it's what I find hardest. Earnest is f**king easy.
"Finding the comedy in a situation is always the hardest thing, and I think as an actor you should always try and find the hardest thing."
Despite claiming to find comedy difficult, Jake had no difficulty getting laughs with his 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' co-star Gemma Arterton, which she claims is because they forged such a good friendship off camera.
She explained: "We have this kind of banter anyway, as Jake and Gemma. So that kind of transfers to the characters. There's a lot of witty remarks, cutting each other down."

I know there is more. But the press conference was quite quick, although Disney was shuffling them in and out of there for three movies.
Actually Jake has to do interviews and press after the press conference, but he will still have time to stay (in SF) or go(home?)before he has be on set Monday for Source Code.
"I keep the dagger of time and will use it if this press conference has any weird questions." LOL2
Pinky ring :)
Where would we be without twitter huh? I think soon we will cease to communicate any other way. Annoying as hell.
I love the Red Sox/Yankees kiss.

Blame it on the P PPPP PPPP Peeps
Forgot that there was a press conference and a then a panel discussion with the preview.
LOL - cute post, Special.
I gotta agree with you, Tom. While Twitter is definitely "in", it's useful, it can be insightful, I would say about 60%-70% of it is about as inane of blabber as alot of my comments.
What do I care of KateisAdorkable thinks Jake is super handsome? That sounds like something People Magazine would say. Is that like "super private"? or "super affectionate" or "best mood ever"?
It's fishing through all the yucky yellow Jelly Beans that no one wants to get to the red ones. It's biting through the yucky blah creamy Russell Stover chocolates to get to the Truffle one in the box. It's digging through the boring Nestle crunches in the bag of Hershey miniature candy bars to find the Mr. Goodbars. It's....
okay, okay!! I'll quit. LOLLLLL!
Hey Tom!!!! We went to check out phones today. I can't wait to get a new one. Gonna get the texting, too, buddy!!!
In and out.
Boy, the weather is gorgeous today. I need to put my little Easter basket together for a friend and then we are out the door again.
Destiny, we looked at the Blackberry too and I told the guy I wasn't sure about those because I knew someone who blogged on it and I could always tell because there are always these little characters in the midst of her sentences. LOLLLL.

Hmm. I never seen the word "amazing" used so often in the English language. Do you guys say that word alot in your everyday language? I can't remember the last time I used that word in a sentence to someone. Maybe it's big in twitterdom.
Tom, when I start texting, I'm going to start saying "amazing" alot. Get ready, buddy.
Tom, I'm enjoying a #9 at Jimmy John's right now. Amazing!!
lol. Aw, I'm just having some fun - don't nobody get all upset now.
BTW, a #9 at Jimmy John's is the Italian club.
It's - It's....
Well, it's AMAZING, that's what it is. It's the only thing I ever order there.
lol.
Sounds like Jake his a big hit too and flirting with the audience.

Hey PG here's a different word for amazing.
EricSCarp: Prince of Persia looks kinda rad...
LOL
Sounds like Jake had a blast answering audience's question.
Suhaila: Best part of wondercon Jake Gyllenhaal "If i could go back in time i'd go to my birth".
Why is that no surprise, Special?
I think the guy probably flirts with his toothbrush at night.
Hey, I'm really laughing at that suit Austin has on. I mean, I've seen that picture several times before, but to see it right after that Streets of San Fran dvd is hilarious.
There was another great word up there, too, Special.
Neat!
Alright, back to the Easter basket making. I need to make my mom's. Make it...amazing!!

It's exciting to see that Jake and the movie got such a great response at WonderCon. It had to be a little nerve wracking for Jake this morning wondering how it would go.
Tweet from Jordan Mechner, he pretty much sums it up about Jake.
jmechner: Just did Prince of Persia WonderCon panel in front of 4,000 people. Finally sunk in on me: Jake is a movie star.

Love the Peep Show. Thanks for posting the link to it.
Great analogy about Twitter being like the red jelly beans PG--the only ones I like too.
Here's IGN's write up about the two clips they showed at WonderCon. The first is the "Siege of Alamut" and the second is when Dastan finds out the dagger's power.

Pinky rings side by side - WonderCon and BBMt press conf
We know it's the same as the one he wore 4 years ago, except then there was 2.
Jake had to beef up to play the role of Dastan, a street urchin in sixth-century Persia. He had to perform stunts like climbing up walls sing arrows half-buried in the wall that had been shot at the castle by a comrade.
“I look pretty cool doing that,” said the soft-spoken Californian.
“But what you don’t know is the behind-the-scenes goofs. My arm and shoulder muscles were so big that the chest plate I wore prevented me from reaching up to grab the arrows,” he says.
“There were many funny takes of me doing that and in the end, they literally had to cut wider arm holes in the chest plate,” he says with a laugh.

Sounds like the event went well. I wonder how many people attended. The SF paper did not say much of anything about it today, which surprised me.
Sorry to hear Jersey Tom is leaving for a while. Twitter can be annoying, but I do love my daily tweets from Johnny Weir and Craig Ferguson. They brighten my day.
WonderCon 2009 saw another increase in attendance, growing to 34,000 fans, yet it still has the intimate feeling of a fan-run comics convention. source
I'm undecided but I lean at least towards Tom's feelings. Today was way too much twitter. I much prefer reading what you all have to say as opposed to some joeblow who says nothing but "Amazing! Awesome!" and nothing else of absolute substance. I mean, anybody can get on here and rat off a six word sentence that does not give me any insight, any details, any juice, anything concrete. Of what good is it?
For gosh sakes, give me something good, as Chaka Khan would say. Tell me the color of his socks. Tell me if his sock had a hole in it while he was playing with his shoe. Tell me if someone picked their nose. Tell me if you saw the band of their briefs or boxers. Tell me if they even cut the cheese. Tell me if you saw them looking at a fast food restaurant menu and what they told the gopher to go order. Tell me something that I'm not going to get from a journalist. Don't give me slobber. I can create my own slobber, I don't need to read someone else's.
I appreciate the effort to put them on here and I can very well just scroll through them at my leisure without bothering anyone else about it. All I am saying is that they're alot of wasted cyber space with no worth and that is just my opinion.
And that being said, I am glad that the event was a success because I take it Jake was probably very nervous about the whole thing. I'm happy to see him happy.
Unfortunately, I think it's a double edged sword. This squee'ing kind of event and Jake's evidently Gaston-like reaction to it indicates to me a foreshadowing that there's most likely no way he is going to put at risk losing this kind of following. And in order to keep that, it would most likely call for more bearding and more PR plants like what we've been seeing. Not to mention more deep freeze hiding of people in his real life.
I'm not jumping to conclusions, I'm not leaping off the dock, I'm just stating that I can see this happening.
Whew. I smell like Chinese food. I'm sitting here and I can just smell it on my clothes. LOLLLLL.
^^^ There. Now why can't someone give us a twitter like that. Tell me what someone smells like. Menthol muscle rub. Toothpaste. Aftershave cologne. Shampoo. Garlic. Whatever.

I tell you what I got a kick out of today and that was reading those gamer's comments on the video game. Some of those guys killed me.
I mean, anybody can get on here and rat off a six word sentence that does not give me any insight, any details, any juice, anything concrete. Of what good is it?
Some bits are good and informative if you bother to read - see April 3, 2010 2:50 PM post.
The people who attend WonderCon/ComicCon etc are some of the most connected and internet savy people around. They know about Jake, they know about Toothy at this point, they're online enough to read it and know what's what. And they still like him. I don't think they have problem with who he really is.
New commercial for PoP during the Final Four.
Tom, I hope you will be back sooner than you say, so often you're the only other person posting here that feels the way I do about things, and it will be lonely without you. :-(
I go back and forth as to whether PoP doing well will make it more or less likely that Jake will beard, etc., in the future. If it's a disaster he may be frightened into even more bearding. But if it is a smash he will have more attention on him, which could also cause him to beard.
Seeing those rings, definitely not the one he was wearing in the pictures with Peter.
Rings,
Interesting. I will have to check the pics with Peter out again.
I agree that twitter comments from every Tom, Dick or Harry are worthless. But it's fun when the twitter is by someone famous that is sharing their insights or experiences. Earlier this week Johnny Weir flew to Moscow. When he twittered that he had landed safely, I felt like his mom. OK, I can go to sleep now, he's safe. Had to laugh at myself.
I watched some of the interviews. There was a moment when my gaydar was off the charts but then Jake adjusted his demeanor. He seemed happiest when discussing his newer films, LAOD and Source Code. He seems very proud of them. That's a good sign.
OT: Happy Birthday to Heath, who would have been 31 today.
Jake Gyllenhaal promotes the Apple iPad at the 2010 WonderCon convention on Saturday (April 3) in San Francisco, Calif. The 29-year-old Brokeback Mountain star was joined by producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Mike Newell to promote their new movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time .
The fllick was shot in Morocco and Jake even did a lot of his own stunts! The movie involves Jake growing up on the streets, but after showing courage in battle, is adopted by the king as his heir.
