Square One

Although we got a small glimpse of the guys early last year. At where else, A farmers market (Thanks again the special OMG friend who shared it with us )

It was a year ago today we got clear shot of Jake and Austin together after a long time being out of the camera sights.

We didn't know when we would see them together again, but then we got a little unexpected surprise later in the summer.

But all this, would not have happen if one movie that opened 7 years hadn't happen.

It was said that during casting, as soon as they met they couldn't take their eyes off each other.

There must have been some kinds instant chemistry because just weeks after casting they were in New York together months before filming began. And Austin had already met one member of the G clan, Maggie.

But before we knew that it was well known how well they got along during filming. They themselves couldn't help but talking about the other.

Austin talking about on set with Jake for TDAT and cooking together in YM magazine.

The online link is gone. But ANJ had a transcript in their archives. (Thanks Spooky and Vespy!)

Hardest part to film: His scenes with Jake. "He was always making faces at me, trying to crack me up," says Austin. "It usually worked too. I was trying to be all serious and I'd see him sticking his tongue out and I'd lose it."

Fave on-set pastime: Cooking with Jake. They usually make Mexican food, but Austin's most proud of their make-it-up-as-you-go-along chicken dish. "We put three full chickens in a huge pan with shallots, garlic, onions, radishes, and seasoning." Sounds tasty.


YM Magazine April 2004 - The Day After Tomorrow - ANJ

And Jake owning up to making it hard for Austin.

This is from YM - June 2004 again courtesy of ANJ.

Jake : I especially love messing with Austin [Nichols, who plays a rich kid who also wants to date Laura]. He'll do a take and I'll say, "you're not reallly going to do that are you?"

ANJ - I especially love messing with Austin ; )


And it was evident in the outtakes and special features.





And Roland saw something special, expanding Austin's part and framing the two together on the screen.

And even the guys themselves made it special with just the little things they sneaked on screen as mementos of them together.

Still wonder about the combustible trailer and who ending having to buddy up until they got a new one. (Let's see Arjay said it wasn't him and Emmy has never said anything, and you'd think if it was Dennis he would have told that story at least once... hmmm who's left? )

And the mysteries continued even two after making the movie at the premiere 7 years ago this weekend.

Austin's watchful eyes on Jake. Jake's throwing snowballs at Austin. Yet as we know, they were mere feet from each other and had pictures taken with everyone else there, there is not one picture of them together or in a group.

It is amazing how just one moment in time can change lives and touches so many others is so many ways.

Jake was showing some color during his run yesterday.

After going with the Black Ops look on Friday night.

Not only was he showing off the guns he was flashing some metal.

Still be able to keep it close and not be too noticeable.




Happy Memorial Day!
Thank you to all who serve and have served.

LOL MK.

Nice to see Jake wearing some color. Not a fan of the bulked up look though.

Florida Tom said...

I love how MK rides Jake's butt. He so knows Jake is gay.


I love what Daniel Choi is trying to do in Russia. Daniel is a great role model for young gay kids. He is so proud of who he is and is willing to fight so hard to make good things happen. I wish Jake hadn't caved and HW didn't own his soul.

M&M and I have been watching a compilation of Adam Lambert performances from his time on American Idol.

WOWWWW!!!

Man, was he hot on there. That guy just really rocks the sexy.

But on your note, Tom, I will say how awesome it is to go back and see on the videos Adam's boyfriend sitting in the stands of American Idol with Adam's parents & family.

Adam rocked the jewelry, the eyeliner, the plunging shirt necklines. He had a sparkle in his eyes, energy & life in his face; he shone from within. Adam isn't afraid, doesn't hold back from who he is.

It's sad that I don't see spark in Jake anymore. Is it that he's older now? I don't know. Jake's only a couple of years older than Adam was in these videos. Is it just because Jake's a family man now? Or is it the toll of the bearding and the deception?

But wow Adam is just beautiful in these performances from Idol. Great hair. Awesome suits - so many different looks. He would have a different, very well put together look with every song. I'm just blown away.

Okay, back to regular programming.

This is a wonderful post today, Special. What a special day it is with this being 365 days after the gym pics and also of the opening of TDAT.

I can still remember that Saturday when I was looking at all of those pictures of Jake's shoes in the IHJ archives and scrolled up in that Brandon Fuller picture......with the magnification zoomed up way high.....and

voila!!! There was Austin right in front of my face.

And I was so excited I could barely dial Special's number and then when I did get her on the phone, I could hardly speak coherently and Special was going nuts trying to understand me.

LOL!!!

What an incredible day that was - will never forget it.

prairiegirl said...

LOL, man there's a bit of a dog/cat fight going on in the Comment section on the Red Tank Jake post on ol' Just Jared. It's quite entertaining.

Thanks too, Special, for the reposting of some of these vids. How great the guys looked during the TDAT filming. It's startling how much Jake has changed when you look at all of those gorgeous pictures and then see how rather behemouth Jake looks in the Red Tank pics.

:(

Those Yale niece comments don't sound like Jake's PR to me but the work of one of the many Jake is straight trolls. One has been trying to float a brunette in Brooklyn tall tale for a while, but no one is buying into it so it just lays there like a lump.

prairiegirl said...

Yeah, looking at the trend of conversation, you are probably right, m. M&M thought it sounded like a JIS fangirl as well.

the real m said...

The smiles in that wiping Jake down video say it all. Very similar to the Lakers smiles. Jake looked so happy then. Radiant.

lol said...

Great post SK. All the lunacy displayed in the one post! congrats.

LOL!!

Special K said...

I look at the pictures of Jake from the parking garage on Friday night and Jake is just grinning the whole time. It reminds me not only of him getting into the car at the gym a year ago, but also the time when he got photographed after a dinner at Jar way back in Sept 2007. What did those two things have in common? He had with Austin.

It makes me think that whatever he had been doing on Friday night he shared it in the company of his favorite person.

And look at how he was dressed, he went out in dark clothes and that dark nondescript baseball hat at night. He didn't have that on all day during his errands. He was purposely trying to blend in and trying not to draw attention to himself. You gotta wonder what was different between from earlier in the day and that night.

Just one more thing - you can really see how dark the tint is on the windows of his Audi in that one picture. He is standing behind the glass and half of his body disappears. That's really really dark.

destiny said...

I don't think it's being a family man that has taken a toll on Jake. Look at other celebs with kids you see papped around the internet. Let's take my favorite, Matt Bomer, who has three kids and works long hours shooting a television show. And yet he always looks hot and happy.

Jake is all about covering himself, from the beard that hides his beautiful face to the worst one of all, the closet. Can't shine when you're always covering and looking over your shoulder, and faking things. A lot of actors seem to be able to do all that and still look good, but not Jake.

prairiegirl said...

Very well said, Destiny. Can't disagree with that.

The Memorial Day cookout was a rousing success!! I'm indebted to M&M because she BBQ'd my favorite - hamburgers!!!! Bow to the hamburger.

Deviled eggs. Potato Salad with black olives. Never had p-salad w/black olives before but it was excellent. Sweet corn on the cob.

There was a BBQ melting miscue involved but I have been sworn to abstain from any further disclosure of details!!!

Let's just say there WAS melting involved.

LOLLLLL!!!

But we're all still here and everyone still has all of their fingers & toes.

lol

Methodical Muser said...

Yes, the melted cheese was delicious. :-)

prairiegirl said...

I must say that the deviled eggs were excellent. P-Salad was quite tasty. The hamburgers were the bomb.

Shhhh! There was also some champagne ingested.

But this had Nothing to do with the reported (NON DAIRY!!!) melting incident.

Methodical Muser said...

There was no causal relationship between the libation and the Jarlsberg.

prairiegirl said...

What in the heck is a Jarlsberg?

Methodical Muser said...

If you keep this up, PG people are going to think that we are like Soapy and Austin and not even in the same room.

Awwww, so glad you enjoyed it PG. Sigh, it's tough to leave I'm sure. Lots of good memories for you.

I had to smile when you said you could see Folsom Prison in the distance, were you on the way to the Wine Country? Petaluma? :)

Florida Tom said...

Sounds like the West Coast adventure for the Roadway Revival Tour was a blast. I am so glad everyone got to enjoy their time together.
