Ad Man

Was Jake doing his own interpretation of the Thin Blue Line for Letterman?

Look at his suit.

A little subliminal message for EoW perhaps?

Subtle Jake, subtle.

At least this time.

You haven't always been.

 And that's why we love ya.

Put a Bird On It

Now that OTH's wrapped Austin will back out to looking for new projects. And now with directing under his belt and a triple threat with:

ActingSinging
And dancing
Look out.

A fan of themes for his projects....(ex.TwoWheel Tuesday, Run Your Ass Off) maybe he should use a theme for pursuing his next job.

One suggestion courtesy of Portlandia:


Then again that might Jake's personal matra both home and away.

Two Wheel Tuesday for a crew.

Peacock and Pedals

As an actor Austin tells stories through his actions.

As a writer Austin tells stories through his words.

As a director Austin tells tells stories through his images.

And to be successful, all multifaceted, layered and complex.


Like why did Austin pick a peacock? Because they like peace and harmony? Is he saying during the mating season he makes that very loud high pitched cry like a peacock? That he was chosen by his mate for the size, color, and quality of his outrageous feather?

Is he thinking of Greco-Roman mythology when the goddess Hera /Juno is symbolized by the peacock. "The eyes upon the peacock's tail comes from Argus whose hundred eyes were placed upon the peacock's feathers by the goddess in memory of his role as the guard of Io, a lover of Zeus that Hera had punished. The eyes are said to symbolize the vault of heaven and the "eyes" of the stars." Hmmmmm who's eyes could those be?

Or maybe a Hindu connection, where the peacock is associated with Lakshmi who is a deity representing benevolence, patience, kindness, compassion and good luck.

Or maybe how the peacock is associated with Kwan-yin in Asian spirituality. Kwan-yin (or Quan Yin) is also an emblem of love, compassionate watchfulness, good-will, nurturing, and kind-heartedness.

In Persia, the peacock is seen as a guardian to royalty, and is often seen in engravings upon the thrones of royalty. Hmmmm Persian Royalty .... like a Prince?... a Prince of Persia?

Maybe he just likes NBC's Thursday night comedies, or just proud as a peacock about something or someone(s) else and it's the only way to say it at the moment?

And then later last night Austin put up this tweet and this picture:

I rode all over Austin, Texas today. Make sure yall get on the bike tomorrow for #twowheeltuesday. http://twitpic.com/42fekj

Austin on a bike, so what.

Blow it up and look again. How do you take a picture of yourself from the left side of the bike with your foot still in the clips on the right pedal.

Austin's tall but.... who knew he is more flexible than Gumby to pull off that move of bending basically back and to the left with both hands off the bike, taking a picture, keeping the balance of the bike AND still having his right foot in the pedal. Damn boy what kind of working out are you doing? Some Bikram yoga? Tracy Anderson workouts? Pilates? Prince of Persia workouts? Jake just rubbing off on you?

And for that matter - how is here no shadow of him on the cement?

Tonight on the Crazy Tree:

BrookeDavis(TM) and her supportive wonderJBra as moving full steam ahead to adopt. Three weeks into the marriage the honeymoon's over ... BrookeDavis(TM) needs a baby damnit and she's going to get one. (You know if they did a Raising Arizona thing - it has a chance of being somewhat good- Austin would be awesome as H.I. [who thinks he's thought about a diaper run like that] - but the Crazy Tree won't so don't get your hopes up) And of course it being OTH there will be someone that they suddenly meet who wants to give up their baby and they will have a brand new perfect infant after 3 weeks of being married and before they are 30. Ohhhh yeah that's based on reality for sure. And because it's not AllaboutBrooke, The Crazy Tree girls throw a baby shower for The Real Housewife of Tree Hill, while the guys bond over Jamie tries out for baseball, and Mouth helps Millie get ready for her first day at a new job. (Maybe he will get her one of the nifty lunch boxes like Harrison Ford did for Melanie Griffith in Working Girl)

Here's our Two Wheel Tuesday.

Once Upon a Matress

"They're coming! They're coming!"

Ostriches. Why'd it have to be Ostriches?

I like birds. I love birds
Why are you doing this.
I wear them you know on my shirts.

One, two, Ostriches coming for you.

I worked with them.

Three, four, better lock your door.

I 'm with them. I mean I datemarr....

Five, six, gonna grab your Nic.

You can't have him!

Seven, eight, better stay awake.

I nest! I nest!

Nine, ten, never walk again

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Jake did you have that dream again? You know ostriches aren't after you.
It's just a dream. Just a dream.

Or was it?

For the Birds

"But if you don't try to do it then you'll regret it for the rest of the time because that's what this movie is for. It's an opportunity to do crazy sh*t that you wouldn't normally be able to do. Like there's a whole scene with ostriches in the movie.

Yeah, you and me ostrich. Bring it on.

They’re all real ostriches, highly paid, and we were all briefed on them for weeks before like “They’re these massive destructive creatures that can tear your heart out with their claws.” (laughs)

I swear to God I never thought of an ostrich this way! And I was shaking in my boots when they finally brought them out and they’re (does an ostrich impression) and I walked up to it and one of my stuntmen was in the ring with them, and finally, I was like, “When am I going to be in a f*cking cage with ostriches again in my life? I gotta get in here!” So I got in there and they were the sweetest things

I have a thing with birds, I understand them, I know them, the birds are my people.

I wear their colors.

Throw down their signs.

I've a way with the ostrich.

The Big Bird.

The owl.

And the Goose.

I have tasted the Wild Turkey.

I am Jake Gyllenhaal..... Bird Man.

Birds, Beatles and Boys

The Beatles
Edition

It's a big Beatles day with the release of The Beatles catalog remastered and The Beatles Rock Band edition, and it got me thinking about Jake and Austin and The Beatles and birds.

Jake wanted to be a bird growing up. Wears birds.
Austin's namesake, and power animal.

And Your Bird Can Sing, Norwegian Wood (This Bird has Flown), Blue Jay Way, Blackbird, Free as a Bird,

When your bird is broken
will it bring you down
You may be awoken,
I'll be round, I'll be round

And when I awoke I was alone,
this bird had flown

There's a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
We'll be over soon they said
Now they've lost themselves instead.
Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life You were only
waiting for this moment to arise
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird
I'll fly as a bird on wings.

Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.

....Flock together
