All Grown Up?

UPDATE:

Catch the Source Code Premiere
Live from the Red Carpet
HERE

(thanks M&M)


Sounds like Jake's got a little perspective on turning thirty.

"It's a fascinating thing, I feel there's a great confidence that comes with it, a real security and footing and understanding of myself and how I respond to the world."

Could that mean small steps that could lead to bigger things?

"If there's one thing I've learned from turning 30 it's that I really don't have a choice as to whether I'm going to get older or not. I have no intention of pretending I'm 15 when I'm 40. But, please, be aware there may be some mistakes along the way."

Jake made a interesting observation about the growing up in context to his career.

"As Donnie Darko was a metaphor for childhood into adolescence, I think this [Source Code] is a metaphor for adolescence into adulthood."

Jake might be grown up for the most part (like at tonight premiere) but sitting down with pal Conan for a long overdue chat all bets are off. Jake never made it Conan's Tonight Show Couch, and but being on cable might open new opportunities. Now who's going to break into the giggles first? Conan? Jake?

Maybe a little Wii tennis?
Watch out Jake, Conan beat Serena Williams when he challenged her on his old show.

Then again with Andy singing "I Will Always Love You" softly in the background how could you lose ?

Panic at the Disco is on Conan tonight with Jake and Randy Jackson.

Does anyone else remember way back in 2007, Jake was out with a tall guy on crutches at a Panic at the Disco show, and the comment that someone made that they looked like they were on a date.

Now who broke his ankle skateboarding that summer and was on crutches? And who's tall too?

Hmmmm....

How kinky!

destiny said...

Wasn't it Death Cab for Cutie, not Panic at the Disco? I don't ever recall a mention of Jake at a show for the latter. I made the mistake of going to a Panic show out of curiosity since they have a big stage production. It was boring and yikes, the audience was full of screaming 14 year old girls. One of the few times I bailed on a concert before it ended.

Special K said...

Ohh you're right Destiny. I totally blew that one. I was rushing around and didn't look it up before I posted. Bad Special bad!

Florida Tom said...

Holy cow. I am freezing my butt off. It is cold up here.

I can't believe Jake talked about that incident at the Bafta's on Kimmell. Not sure what he was doing on that one. You we're right though PG. PING PING PING!

Special K said...

Just Updated.

Check out today's post for the link to watch Live from the Red Carpet for tonight's premiere.

Methodical Muser said...

Oh, well. Looks like the Red Carpet link to Source Code just may be only a live Webcam (not streaming video) feed. Darn!

I hate to tell you this, Special, but the year was 2006 (not 2007) when Jake was seen at the Death Cab for Cutie concert with that tall boy on crutches. In fact, I have a picture of Jake taken at a restaurant during that time period and you can clearly see the crutches up on the top of the booth Jake and his companion are sitting at. You can't see Austin, only Jake's face, but there are the crutches. Plain as day.

I'm really looking forward to Conan tonight. Always entertaining to see those two together again.

destiny said...

That's okay Special, there are plenty of things I'm terrible at remembering, like people's names and dates; music just happens to be one of the few things I do have a good memory for.

Special K said...

I am totally having brain freeze today, I think it's taking care of the "boy",(our affectionate name for my nephew) the bird and the barkers.(two dogs)

Ohhh I remember that picture before - it was from when Jake was in NYC that summer.

Makes me think of this BV that November

November 2, 2006
First off, our fave, and top tumescent dawg, Toothy Tile: T2 was just caught at a fancy-ass New Yawk restaurant playing footsie with the b-f underneath the table. Right in front of Tooth's 'rents! And the busboys! Not to mention a few (thank gawd) Awful Truth readers, too fun. Tooth-doll, makes sense, as I hear you're getting thisclose to superdomesticating things with your most benevolently forgiving man. What, getting tired of the doin'-it-in-the-parking-lot scene, T-man? Regardless, congrats!

LOL nice try, M&M, but no gold star for you. I'm looking at that personal photo album with that particular photo right now and guess what? Do you wanna know??? That photo is from October, 2004. LOL

michael k said...

Reese Witherspoon made the WRONG decision. That dumb dumb married that Jim Toth dude when she could've stayed with a man who loves nothing more than to play Wii tennis while bouncing his knees and flicking his wrists to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE CHOICES, Reese, while reading what you could've witnessed every single night. Make her weep, Jake:

“I don’t do karaoke or play Rock Band or Guitar Hero but I do play a little Wii Tennis while listening to Whitney Houston. I can’t play Wii Tennis without listening to Whitney Houston actually. I might mention that to Duncan (Source Code director Duncan Jones) as an idea for a movie because that’s right up our alley! I really just do it for myself. It’s just an incredible thing to exercise but for it to become like a meditative thing rather than just working out is amazing and that’s how it is for me.”

Jakey and I have something in common. I too like to pretend I'm handling white balls in the middle of my living room while listening to "Heartbreak Hotel" (the Crack is Whack remix) at full blast. And yeah, I totally call it meditative exercise too.

Methodical Muser said...

LOL nice try, M&M, but no gold star for you. I'm looking at that personal photo album with that particular photo right now and guess what? Do you wanna know??? That photo is from October, 2004. LOL

Don't think so. I saved the photo from a blog and the link is dated August 2006. No gold star for you.

no cigar said...

You may have gotten it from a blog in 2006 but it was taken in 2004. Sawwwweeee. Go check out webshots.com and search for Jake. LOL. Nice try on the spin though.

Methodical Muser said...

Sorry. The one I have is from August, 2006. The blog was talking about Jake being seen in NY with Austin and the photo was posted along with the discussion that talked about the article from Hollywood Privacy Watch, August 16, 2006:


Austin on Crutches, August 2006

no cigar said...

Well that's all well and good, but why not post the photo in dispute. If it's a different one from the one I'm looking at, I apologize. If it's the same photo, well...

prairiegirl said...

Don't you just love how the trolls are just hellbent right now to disprove all association between Jake and Austin? They have been attacking posters on WFT2 since the weekend and coming on OMG, disputing any claim or comment.

They cannot stand Austin and their hatred sizzles with a burning vengeance. They absolutely cannot stand any thought of Austin ever having been intimate with Jake, being friends with Jake, hanging with Jake, knowing Jake, being on the same planet as Jake.

It literally is burning holes in their shorts. I'm not sure what it is the Trolls want. Whether they want Jake alone & all to themselves, they want Jake to be a virgin, they want Jake to be asexual, they want Jake straight, some want Jake to simply be a whore, hitting up on any A-List, Career Ladder Climbing, Stuck-Up Higher Up Who Will Get Him Places that he comes in contact with.

For sure they can't stand the idea of Jake simply falling in love. Or having a boyfriend. Or heaven forbid, be married. Marriage out of the question.

And I don't think it stops at Austin. If it was Marcus Mumford, Chris Fischer, Dallas Does David, JG Francis, or Henry Cavill, it wouldn't matter. They wouldn't like that either. They want Jake alone in a tower for the rest of his life. Behind plexiglass. Untouched. Forever.

That's the only thing that's going to make the Trolls happy.

prairiegirl said...

When is the 12 days up?

lol, I gotta say I am missing the Big Guy even though I rather blistered him on his way out the door.

LOLLLL!!!

Aw Austin, come back....

no cigar said...

Are you referring to me, PrairieGirl? I'm not doing anything of the sort. M&M pointed out that there's photographic evidence of Austin's crutches in a photo of Jake in 2006. The only thing I'm disputing is the date. The photo I'm looking at, and the one I think M&M is referring to, is from 2004.

Methodical Muser said...

And, how would posting the photo clarify the matter? You would just zing off another bogus remark that the photo was from October, 2004. Gee, let's go around that circle again. Tell you what. Why don't you post your photo, since you're the one disputing the time stamp and then I'll tell you whether or not it's the same one.

Oh, and by the way, who cares? The point is that Austin and Jake were seen everywhere together in 2006, Austin was on crutches. End of story.

^^ lol - I saw those tweets. Twitter is alive with excitement over Jake's arrival.

I gotta say, this is when twitter comes in quite handy!

No worries. I think we both know now the photo is from 2004. :-)

prairiegirl said...

Well, no cigar, I think there was a polite way of making your question instead of snarking with LOL's, "nice try" and a snarky "no gold star for you".

Even the name "no cigar" is snarky.

There's polite ways of having an argument/discussion and then there's trollish snarky ways, like yours.

Jake and Austin In Love, Summer 2006 said...

Let me help you M&M. I know the photo you're talking about and it's from August, 2006. It was posted along with these remarks:

Jake and Austin sightings from Death Cab for Cutie Concert,

August 14, 2006:


-yep, we saw him there. he was like 3 rows behind us. in all black, hat, shirt, and jeans. with a guy in crutches. so hot, dancing up a storm. yummmm!.
-Saw him there backstage with his date, some guy in crutches.
-he was there. actually was dancing to the beat! he's quite good and much cuter in person. the guy on crunches was austin nichols... when the slow songs were playing, jake was holding up his blackberry for someone on the other line to hear...
- Saw Austin and Jake at the concert and they were mighty fine lookin. They were most certainly on a date and Jake was swaying to the music and kept looking at Austin. Wish I had had my camera becuz I wanted a photograph of the two hot men on a date.

prairiegirl said...

It's not the end of the world if the photo is from 1980.

It doesn't change the fact that Jake and Austin are still together.

In the end, that's the important thing.

Oh wait! Let me, let me....whip this out.


:-)

prairiegirl said...

YEEEEAAAAHHHHH, THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKIN' ABOUT!!!!


Whoooooeeeee Yeaaaaahhhh!!! uh huh, uh huh, uh huh.

Thank you, person. That was my slash reading for the night. LOL!!

Hot Damn, that's hot.

prairiegirl said...

Mmmm mmmmm mmmm.

You go, Jakey boy. Your man will be home soon.

Special K said...

Thanks Jake and Austin in Love, those were the comments I was thinking about when I mangled the band stuff earlier today.

And put out your cigar Jack. Sigmund would like to chat with you.

prairiegirl said...

Awww, Kendra cried tonight on Dancing With the Stars.....

Ralph Machio, the original Karate Kid, is an excellent dancer. And he is still sooo cute.

Awww, and Kendra looks so pretty. I've always liked Kendra. She's dancing with Louis, an out gay pro dancer.

Jake and Austin In Love, Summer 2006 said...

LOLLLLL! It is pretty sexy, isn't it? You're welcome, prairiegirl. Jake underplays his dancing capabilities, but somehow I think he does just fine when he's properly inspired.

Methodical Muser said...

Hey, thanks, "Jake and Austin in Love". A wonderful memory, indeed.

prairiegirl said...

I would agree,Jake & Austin in Love. Thank you for sharing that. That made my night!

Hey, these 2 tweets are interesting. Probably nothing. I wish I could tell where this girl is from, though. You never knowwwww.....

prairiegirl said...

Okay, I'm off! Conan's on in 12 minutes.

It kind of makes me sad that what we have of the guys is all these pre-closet accounts.

I hope someday soon that the guys feel free and brave enough to show their love once more. I think I would faint dead away if I were to ever see those Laker Game looks again.

Special K said...

From a mangled memory it spurred a discussion that got us to remember some great memories of Jake and Austin.

destiny said...

Gee, Jake hasn't even gone on yet and JJ is already telling us how he talks about his ideal first date with a woman.

Special K said...

I think JJ is referring to the question that Jake got during the Moviefone interview Jake and Michelle did.

Special K said...

Conan puts his show up on his website the next day.

CaptainApparent: Met Jake Gyllenhaal at the Source Code Premiere tonight. P.S. Sorry about the popcorn butter/grease Jake. 30 minutes ago via TweetDeck

the real m said...

Work kept me tied up till late but I had enough sense to set Conan up to record a few days ago and just watched it. That facial scar that was noticed a week or so ago was pretty visible on an HDTV. Jake had a light beard but you could still see the crease. I just wonder how he got it. Could have been a kitchen incident. Serious cooks knives are sharp and it looks like it was a precise slice.

Serious cooks might slice their fingers, not their faces said...

Could have been a kitchen incident. Serious cooks knives are sharp and it looks like it was a precise slice.

LMAO. A kitchen incident with serious cooks knives? For a facial scar? Jake is in desperate need of cooking lessons if that's the case.

destiny said...

Oops, didn't realize the bit on JJ wasn't from the Conan interview. Still, got to wonder why that particular quote went up on JJ.

I was disappointed in the Conan interview, I thought it seemed a bit manic and forced. But my girlfriend thought he was fun and charming, so maybe it is just me having seen to much of what is behind the curtain, so to speak.

Prairie Girl said...

Destiny, I do credit Jake regarding his ideal first date that he didn't say he first needed the right woman. lol! Good grief.

You know, I kind of liken Jake to a politician or an athlete. He goes out and "performs". Then he comes back, his people go over the tape, and then they make changes, draw up new plays if needed, and perform any damage control.

I can't quite put my finger on it yet but last night, Conan Jake was different from Kimmel Jake.

P.S. It's me. For some reason, I've had trouble at work using my blogger i.d.

Prairie Girl said...

I thought the scar was really noticeable on TV last night.

Could it have happened maybe while filming PoP?

Prairie Girl said...

I also found two things interesting:

1) Once again, Jake addresses his wearing the Big Beard this past summer, saying how a heavy beard makes people wonder what is going on in the guy's life "behind" that beard? Jake is directly responding to all the internet talk about his appearance last summer. You better believe he is.

Sorry, Jake, but you do not go an entire summer looking like an old salty sea dog for nothing. So just stop it.

2) And once again, Jake brings up his niece & sister as subjects he would immediately bring up in casual conversation with Conan as if they were part of his immediate, every day family. He cannot go one interview without bringing up Mom, Sis, Ramona or Peter. The talk in a prior interview about the tomato plants? I think Jake is dying to talk about his own kids. I think he's busting. But instead he has to use his niece all the time. We don't even ever get pap pictures of Jake taking his niece anywhere. I am sure he is involved in her life when he's in NYC. But his constantly using her in interviews is beginning to irritate me because it's a dishonest use.

Prairie Girl said...

These are just things that disappoint me.

I thought he looked great although the whole interview was kind of strange. Too much talk about beards - and I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of the story about the guys in the restaurant with the beards. I didn't get the point or where it was headed.
