I Fest, I Fest ....I Forum

Yesterday was Austin's festival turn of the week, and today it's Jake.

Variety is reporting, Nightcrawler has been set as the opening night screening for the 10th annual Film Independent Forum at the Directors Guild of America on Oct. 24.

Following the screening there will be a Q&A with director Dan Gilroy and producer Jennifer Fox.

Film Independent "champions independent film and supports a community of artists who embody diversity, innovation, and uniqueness of vision. Film Independent helps filmmakers make their movies, builds an audience for their projects, and works to diversify the film industry."

Many will be more familiar with their award, The Spirit Award, bestowed each year prior to the Academy Awards, for the best in independent films.

The Forum will take place during the weekend of October 24-26 at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) in Los Angeles.


Looks like it will to bouncing back and forth from coast to coast for Jake, who started filming Demolition in NYC this week.

No Question about it

Forget Batman, they should cast Jake as the Riddler with all the question marks that are stuck to him.

Let's talk about Jake "leaving" LA on Sunday.

Now why the heck is he going on Sunday with all the cities on the East Coast affected by the winter storm that day?   He did he really have to get to NYC no later than Sunday.

 Funny we don't see Jake in NYC today.  And funnier still is how Michael Strahan who has a daily television show and couldn't make it back to NYC to do the show today, but Jake who's in a holding pattern until Jan, seems to have made it no problem.

  Or did he?  And why are all the pictures outside the terminal when in he past they've "caught" him inside?

And on Ellen first there was the whole hand thing:



Which makes you wonder when and how he really cut his hand.

But also on Ellen was this gem about Thanksgiving



Now this one is a bridge too far so to speak.  Calling all New Yorkers to help out here.  How can you spend so much time on the Manhattan Bridge heading up to Upstate New York and end up on the Williamsburg Bridge that is between Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Because well I might know everything about NYC, but do know Brooklyn is not Upstate.

And where the heck to you pull over on the Williamsburg Bridge? Riddle me that Jakey.

And to round it out here's about his birthday.


And don't worry Austin - you're day's coming tomorrow.

But no matter all the questions that they create  it all comes back to this one thing.

 

No Question about that.

How New York of You

Last weekend Jake attended the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s annual Art + Film gala,  and to Jake it was more like New York West.

 He told the Wall Street Journal " 'It’s a very New York party,' observed the slimmer than usual actor Jake", as he declined a cheese puff from a cater waiter. ( Just like those upper East Side ladies who lunch, but don't eat)

“At least a lot of the New York crowd is here.”

Another observation of Jake from the event was that he didn't seem to mind walking the red carpet alone. But he wasn't alone in that club, it seemed like he had another member in the solo guy club in Leo DeCaprio, who did the  same thing.

You'd think it if was a New York crowd wouldn't your "cooking mentee" fit right in? If you have a model this is one of those places you'd think you'd want to bring them. To walk a long narrow walkway and stand among beautiful things. They don't need to even practice.  Guess not. But know fear Jake ran into old friends.

Guess that mentor/mentee thing is only a one way deal, because Jakey a good model will tell you never have the base foundation on you face darker than the color of your hands.

 The event  honored Martin Scorsese and David Hockney,  is quickly becoming one of the best parties of the year in LA. Which is quite the feat with all the parties, premieres and events that happen in LA.  But it was all for a good cause raising over $4 million for LACMA’s film initiatives and future exhibitions.

And who did Jake say was with him at that Steeler's game... a Sasquatch?

"Bigfoot, also known as sasquatch, is the name given to an ape-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States"

While Austin's might not be "Something Wicked This Way Comes" he may  be a bit of a slippery devil.   

Austin hasn't been burning up twitter much.  So why would Austin tweet something like that on a Sunday afternoon?   Could it be the same reason there were no pictures of Jake leaving LA yesterday, who's in NYC now?

A little look left as we go right?
