Hood... winked

Flashback

Austy,  hoodies and hats can help hide the adorable features that make you recognizable and make you a bit incognito (both on screen and off)

But when you wear one that is a college from the Pittsburgh area around the time they are filming there

you are as effective as this guy

Counter Clockwise

Last year Jake was getting ready to head down under as part of the promotion for LaOD.And while on the whirl of media trip he had lunch with U2. New pictures from IHJ show that they were in high spirits. Or is that taking in spirits?
Disaronno? Did they watch too much BravoTV and the constant Disaronno commercials that ran on it?

Now, today it's like a twist of last year.

Jake's not down under but undercover with no one sure where he has been since Thanksgiving. And Austin is said to be seen wearing a hoodie.

Hmmm Does that mean he's listening to U2 and drinking Disarrono?

You run like a river, on like a sea
You run like a river runs to the sea

Ushering in the Weekend

Austin has written posts on blogs and mentioned pursuing , but remember when he was a writer in a film. Roderick Usher had quite interesting writing rituals.

And well a lot other interesting things going on in the House of Usher.


Austin has mentioned picking part that he finds interesting. And as an English major you can imagine Austin would be interesting in reinterpreting the Edgar Allen Poe classic. Going a little Southern gothic way before meeting up with Hil, Nick and Kelly. And when you think about it Poe was about as Southern Gothic as you could get in a real Goth sense. (While Poe was born in Boston, he was raised in Virginia, and he spent his college days, many of those gambling, at UVA before getting kicked out )

Working on a small independent film like House of Usher it makes you think that Austin had the chance to put a lot of input in his character and his role.


What do you think he brought to the role of Roderick? The hair? The coat? The earmuffs? The shirtless scenes? The heat shield visor sunglasses? Or the hoodie? ; )


Did anyone else think that the silk scarf around his neck was Maddy's?

Smaller world file: Beth Grant who played Kitty Farmer in Donnie Darko plays the housekeeper Mrs. Thatcher in House of Usher.

And a little OTH update: Hilarie talks about leaving OTH , staying in Wilmington and plans for Southern Gothic with EW.com. And check out Southern Gothic for updates about their projects and Pedestrian.
