Eurotrip

All work and no play make Jake a dull boy. So Jake slipped a little shopping and dinner into the schedule interviews, photocalls and autographs.

Jake didn't hat shop at a Borsalino store alone, he was joined with Duncan and his girlfriend, and ever present security.

Should we start looking out for his summer fedora or someone else's?
Then it was out for dinner at Antica Pesa, one of the oldest restaurants in Rome.

Jake is in Berlin camera ready and ready to go for his next photocall.

(blend Jake, blend )

And hat shopping there? Think Austin's got a lid on that.


One curious thing you might not have seen. For those who went and saw Source Code this past week, you probably saw the Hangover II trailer. Well anyone going this weekend won't.

Tuesday Warner Bros. sent out a notice to all theater owners saying that all copies of the trailer "to remove and delete" and all current placements, including and especially Source Code, need to be removed immediately.


Later Warners released a statement saying, "In our haste to meet the placement schedule for this trailer, we failed to properly vet the final version with the MPAA. We acted immediately to correct the mistake and removed the trailer from screens."

Well that green card at the beginning of the trailer means that it was approved by the MPAA for the audience. So what's up? And why Source Code specifically?

JoBlo.com thinks it could be any of the following lines in the trailer: "bitches", "whore in Las Vegas","gay boys" or the monkey "nibbling on the weenus" that's a part of the reason for it being pulled.

Some may think Source Code was singled out was because families complained. But it could be Summit who put the pressure on them. Maybe they wanted to distant themselves from something like The Hangover? Or maybe getting heat from people associated with their biggest franchise money maker?

When the "Paranormal Activity 2" trailer was pulled after "numerous complaints" that it was too scary for the general public, a lot of people suspected that it was a stunt to get more press for the film. Something to think about.

I love that pic of Austin in the Tyrolean hat and suspenders. It does kinda look like he's waiting for someone, doesn't it?

I'm not sure about that Hangover trailer, something about it bugged me - like maybe the characters were being ugly American or something. IDK.

I love those bird watch cams - it's so interesting to see such a fierce-looking bird as a bald eagle or hawk being so gentle and loving with their offspring. :)

LOL - what happened, Aust? Was the old lady bugging you to get online and say something so that everyone would quit hounding her about where you were at?????

Made her look bad, didn't it? First you leave her high & dry holding the Recycle Bin, then you didn't come back when you were supposed to.

I think Austin just got grabbed by one of his ears and yanked home.

lol

Wonder why Austin is now using his twitter accout as a virtual GPS device? Or, should I say his very own "Gyllenhaal Positional System." He even made sure to account for those two days lost at sea. Maybe he needs to take an abacus with him next time so he doesn't have to get an hysterical phone call from the beard since he obviously lost all sense of time.

prairiegirl said...

Oooh, I like the sounds of that. Gyllenhaal Positional System. lol


But seriously, I have got to now question Austin's smarts for leaving His Hotness back in Germany for ???? Man. I had such high hopes for him, too.

prairiegirl said...

Here's the reason why I'm really upset.

I suppose this means I've got to take down Little Toot. That doesn't make me very happy.

the real m said...

Gyllenhaal Positional System - love that name. Not much to add tonight except I'm glad Jake got to enjoy a nice dinner in Rome. He's getting quite the whirlwind tour on this SC campaign.

Methodical Muser said...

Looks like Little Toot will have to be dry docked for now, PG! That is until Austin needs to be placed at sea again to avoid any contact with His Hotness. Maybe you'll need a steamboat next time.

Isn't Berlin Jake's last stop? If it is he will be heading home too, on Friday. (And is is almost 6:00 am Friday morning there)

Methodical Muser said...

Maybe Austin left Jake because he lost all that money at the poker table in Berlin. :-)

texas hold'em said...

what money?

Isn't Berlin Jake's last stop?

London up next.

Why does someone go to Indonesia for such a period of time without his girlfriend when he says it was for a rest? Rather odd. I doubt Austin went alone.

friends said...

Doesn't Austin have other friends apart from S and J?

Maybe it was a family vacation.

LOL, courtesy of Roma:

Red Sox Dad Makes Son Cry

You Red Sox fans are ruthless. :-D

the real m said...

Austin's trip seems odd to me too. Out of character. He is usually so vocal about his comings and goings. Maybe he will share once he gets back to twittering.

Special K said...

Hey Dest, we just want to raise our kids right up here, and keep them from the Evil Empire.


A little over an hour till first pitch at Fenway.

Go Sox!

Florida Tom said...

I heard about that video. That was so funny. I love You Tube.



I still think it is weird that Austin would go to Indonesia without his beloved gf:-)


Go Phillies.


I heard yesterday from a commentator that the KC Royals are a couple years away from being a powerhouse. How bout those Royals.

destiny said...

LOL Special.

Whereas the San Francisco Giants just like to torture all of their fans, regardless of Race, Religion, Color, National Origin, Disability, Marital Status, Gender, Sexual Orientation, Age, or Pregnancy Status. That's right. The Giants are Equal Opportunity Tormenters whether you're a Little Tyke or a Little Toot! LOL!

GO GIANTS!

That whole Puerto Rican trip was pretty suspect as well. Austin allegedly is the only male cast member to accompany the OTH gals down there and then he turns right around in a few days, heads back to Wilmy ALONE (to recycle and pack), and then skedaddles off to LA, minus the old ball and chain. Don't let the door hit you on the way out as they say.
