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

Up, Up and Away?

Looks like Austin's up to something new

Location Scout. What ya think? - AUS10

Looks like he's putting his director hat back on.

And Jake's up ....a weight class

Originally Southpaw was the story that "chronicles the rise of a lefty welterweight all the way to a championship title as he battles various tragedies in his personal life, and wins back the love of his daughter," but in the recent article from the Pittsburgh Gazette, Billy Hope is a junior middleweight - which lets Jake fall in that 148-154 lb range instead of the welterweight's 141-147. 

And the Away?

With this weekend and an upcoming anniversary it will be a full on roll out of  "Here I am and I'm not there" - to keep the current faux fallacy going ...but you know how that goes

Watcha Selling?

There was a lot of selling going on today but it could've been a bit of bait and switch.

First there was this pic of  Jake and crew starting to film Everest today.

Didn't they try this last month?

Neither picture never said Jake was actually in the picture, just made the impression he was.

But a gambling man might go all in and say that Jake is on the Gulf Coast checking on Mississippi Grind.  A project he may no longer be listed as starring in, but doesn't mean he's no longer associated with it.  Yeah yeah  Mr. Producer.

Now why would Jake try to be selling everyone on him being anywhere  but in the Gulf?  Perhaps a bit of a "Texas Tall Tail"

And you can be Deep In The Heart of Texas by bedtime.

And speaking of that  -


Austin's just selling it -  the saucy minx- and damn proud of it.

I'm on sale y'all. You can pick up some of this for 17.99 - AUS10

Olympics for ALL Moment:

While several Olympic sponsors have spoken out against Russia's restrictions on gay rights ahead of the Sochi Winter Games, Chevrolet  rolled out two ads during the U.S. broadcast of the opening ceremony on Friday that feature gay couples.

The ads are the first to feature gay couples during an Olympic broadcast, according to GLAAD, an advocacy group for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. They also come at a time when a fairly new Russia law banning gay "propaganda" from reaching minors has drawn strong international criticism ahead of the Games.

Chevy, is not an official sponsor, didn't comment on the Russian laws specifically, instead saying in a statement that "these ads ... are not intended as any political commentary."

But some advertising experts say the commercials make a pretty clear statement. "Actions speak louder than words," said Allen Adamson, managing director of the New York office of branding firm Landor Associates. "The action of putting a spot on the Olympics is far more powerful than a press release. It's a very clear statement of what they believe Chevy stands for."

This ad, for Chevy, features a montage of different images of America, including a shot of a gay couple getting married. "Like the old love, the new love starts with a kiss," a voiceover states. "Like the old community, the new community still keeps us connected. ... A whole new lineup for a whole new world."

Where in the world?

Last week and weekend you couldn't miss Jake, he was everywhere.  This weekend it's like he vanished off the face of the earth.  After Jake's appearance in London on Monday, it was like poof! he was gone.

 And after Monday a strange thing happened.

 The movie became  a Hugh Jackman movie, not a Hugh and Jake movie.  The promotion in Europe became about Hugh's movie, and there was no mention of Jake.  It was all about Hugh.   And where did Jake go?

Case in point - Hugh "taken 'hostage' as he's mobbed by army of screaming female fans while promoting new movie Prisoners" (source) is all about  Hugh promoting in Spain. There is a noticeable shift in promoting this movie in Europe and it all about Hugh.

But where did Jake go?

Although it does prove a point that Jake can slip away quickly and quietly.
