«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 1038 Newer› Newest»You think so? Are paps so well informed?
Yes, I think paps are better informed than us. Think about it, 100 pics get shot, 15 get published. What happens to the other pics? What about the pics that get shot and never get published. I've read stories about agents or stars paying off paps to destroy pics that they have taken. Bet the paps could tell us alot about Toothy Tile.
Green Lantern
Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake are the three men left standing to headline the much-anticipated superhero flick Green Lantern.
According to THR, other actors in the early mix included Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill and Jared Leto. The flick will be directed by Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, Casino Royale).

No question about it! :)
"Nice smile, Reese, your teeths look great" AND THEN THE PAP LAUGHS TO HIMSELF!
I think paparazzi is laughing his ass off because Reese's teeth and smile are ugly.

GUYS APLENTY
LORENZO Martone doesn't wear Marc Ja cobs exclusively. Martone, who got engaged to the rehabbed designer in March, was spotted Tuesday night at the Cooper Square Hotel with "French designer Pierre-Henri Mattout on his arm." One spy at the Cashmere + Concrete party hosted by Alizé told us Martone and Mattout "were inseparable in the corner of the rooftop deck for over two hours." Jacobs was also spotted solo at Greenhouse on Varick Street Sunday night.
"A cheeky pap is probing Jake Gyllenhaal about his relationship with Reese Witherspoon. Watch Jake being asked the million-dollar question as grabs a coffee in Venice Beach. Check out his coy smile when he's asked about popping a ring on her finger."

Reading all this tabloid and paparazzi Reeke crap must be damaging for the brain. lol
"What happened to Christopher Meloni's sleeves?"
It's how they do it for his costume, so he's cool and comfy but still looks the part when he has his SVU costume jacket on. I bet more men wish their suits were made the same lol!

^^TROLL ALERT.
8:01, looks like the same day/outfit (new haircut!) as the twitter/sighting pic of Jake in Intellgensta in Venice as last week. Coy smile, yeah like "I'm already married" !!

Why troll alert? If watching stupid TV program isn't good for us, then reading crap can't be good either :)

Different t-shirt.
Jake, Intelligista, July 02 2009
Your right 10:00! He changed his shirt, good boy!
It's how they do it for his costume, so he's cool and comfy but still looks the part when he has his SVU costume jacket on.
Assless pants are cool and very comfy, too!
The sixth season of Top Chef will premiere on August 26 and Natalie Portman will guest star in an episode this season. [E!]
George Clooney heals! He toured the ruins of L'Aguila, Italy — where thousands were left homeless after an April earthquake — and promises he'll shoot a film in the area, which should help the local economy. [USA Today, Mirror]
It's obvious nhe made a return tripto Intelligesta in Venice, different t-shirt.
Also on 7/2 he was shopping for coffee beans, in the video he came out with just a magazine in his hand, he had his coffee inside. No dat of the video but I doubt it was 7/2.

BEN AFFLECK - AFFLECK: 'LOPEZ WAS BAD FOR MY CAREER'
BEN AFFLECK has spoken out about his high-profile relationship with former girlfriend JENNIFER LOPEZ - insisting it was bad for his movie career.
The actor began dating the singer in 2002 after starring in Gigli with her, and the pair later became engaged before splitting up shortly before their scheduled wedding in 2004.
Affleck is adamant he should never have got involved in the first place - because the publicity surrounding their romance tainted his career. He says, "I was no longer in control of my life. I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn't. I got lost. I felt suffocated, miserable and gross. I should never have gone down that route or got sucked in to all the publicity.
"I was typecast as myself. Too many people weren't getting past what they read about me. That was damaging. I can tell from experience it's bad for you, and bad for your career. So I took a break, went away for a while and let things calm down." And he admits he is much happier with his wife Jennifer Garner and their two daughters, three-year-old Violet and six-month-old Seraphina to look after.
He adds, "Work has taken a back seat. My job is not as important as it was. Saying that having a family changed my life is a cliche. But it's true - it re-arranged my life and made me see clearly."
I was typecast as myself. Too many people weren't getting past what they read about me. That was damaging. I can tell from experience it's bad for you, and bad for your career.
I think tabloid publicity works much better for actresses.
So here's the score. Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal) comforts his newly widowed sister-in-law Grace (Natalie Portman) after the death of her husband/his older brother Sam (Tobey Maguire) a US soldier stationed in Afghanistan.
About two seconds into the trailer you can predict how the Jim Sheridan thriller plays out - they smoke a lil' doobie, he helps out around the house, acts as a Father figure to the kiddies and before you know it a "so wrong it's right" relationship manifests between Portman and Gyllenhaal.
The heartstring tugging Rom-Com vibe takes a sharp left turn when Maguire resurfaces (not in a body bag) and the proverbial shit hits the fan. Domestic chaos abounds as Gyllenhaal does sheepish, Portman does internally conflicted and Maguire does the best crazy-eyed skinhead since Ed Norton circa American History X. Fun for the whole family.
All we can is wasn't the eleventh commandment "thou shalt not covet thy brother's baby mama"? It's in the Bible somewhere we're almost positive. And this isn't even "brother" in the metaphoric sense it's his literal brother. Dog move Gyllenhall. Dog move. Still we'll give homeboy a pass as God didn't factor in the epic righteousness of Ms. Portman. Hell if she was my brother's widow I'd be there immediately with a "feel better" condolence cake - baked with ulterior motives and iced with a healthy dose of wishful thinking.

Portman is not THAT hot.
Normally the plot keywords "Natalie Portman" and "Iraq war" would prevent us from seeing a movie -- unless, say, we were being held at gunpoint.
But this particular piece of Oscar bait is called "Brothers." And it has Jake Gyllenhaal! And Tobey Maguire! As the "Brothers!" The point is: remember when they were first getting famous and you kept confusing them? YOU'RE ABSOLVED! Click to watch the trailer.

Come on, Tobey and Jake aren't that alike. In fact they don't look alike.
I think both Jake & Tobey are the same style of guys and actors. It's like when people used to confuse Al Pacino with
De Niro,they're not physically alike but in the same wave of acting and personality
Although, people who STILL confuse Pacino with De Niro deserve a hard punishment.
Well, I know that now, 1:14. But I have to agree with the previous poster on this one. Six years ago, when I barely knew who Jake Gyllenhaal was, I couldn't tell them apart either.
My mom used to say, "I like the one in Spiderman better." Lol!
people used to confuse Al Pacino with De Niro
What?! No comment.
when I barely knew who Jake Gyllenhaal was, I couldn't tell them apart either
That's a complete mystery to me. There are some pictures of Jake and Tobey that might confuse people who don't know them well, but they are very different when you see them act in the movie.
We've never eaten at a Chico's Taco restaurant, but now we know that should we find ourselves at one, we've got bigger things to concern ourselves with than what type of meat they're using between the tortillas. Namely, getting kicked out for a little PDA. And don't think the Texas police are going to have your back.
Here's what happened: Two guys kissed while ordered food at Chico's in the El Paso area. They were among a group of five gay men, who then sat down after ordering. The restaurant's security staff asked them to leave, and guards forced them out the door. It's now 12:30am in the early morning of June 29, and the group calls the police, thinking they'll be backed up for Chico's discrimination. No dice: A police officer, arriving an hour later, told the group that it was illegal for two men to kiss in public.
Not only is that wholly untrue, but the one law on the books closest to the cop's reasoning was struck down in a little U.S. Supreme Court case called Lawrence v. Texas. And also? "That same year, the El Paso City Council approved an ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual orientation by businesses open to the public," reports the El Paso Times.
An assistant manager at Chico's Tacos declined to comment Wednesday, except to say the owners of the restaurant were out of town and could not be reached. An official with All American International Security, the firm contracted by Chico's Tacos to supply guards, said one member of the security crew was contacting a lawyer. He would say no more.
El Paso police Detective Carlos Carrillo said a more appropriate charge for what happened at Chico's Tacos would probably be criminal trespass. "The security guard received a complaint from some of the customers there," Carrillo said. "Every business has the right to refuse service. They have the right to refuse service to whoever they don't want there. That's their prerogative."
Briana Stone, a lawyer with the Paso del Norte Civil Rights Project, disagreed. She said the city anti-discrimination ordinance protects people on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation in public places. Perhaps more troubling, she said, was that the police officer chose not to enforce that ordinance and might have contributed to discrimination.
"This is such a blatant refusal to uphold the law on account of discrimination," she said. "The result is devastating. The Police Department is allowing that and even participating in it by refusing to enforce an anti-discrimination ordinance, which is what their job is."
ALSO: "De Leon said he and his friends left the restaurant after an officer threatened to issue a citation for 'homosexual conduct.'"
Amusingly, Chico's Wikipedia page has already been updated. Here's the second sentence: "Recently made famous for forcefully ejecting five gay men because of 'that faggot stuff', after two of the men kissed."
Queerty
people used to confuse Al Pacino with De Niro
What?! No comment.
^^
I swear some people used to confuse them!!! Of course, is usually people who don't know too much about movies or actors, but i assure you i've heard idiots talking about how good Pacino was on Taxi Driver. (ugh)
No restaurant has the right to refuse to serve someone because of discrimination. You couldn't do that to someone of another race, etc. and not expect repercussions.
Sue them out of business, and the police department too! :P

Ignorant bastard.
Yes, there are no such laws on the books; in fact just the opposite, the article said that there was a city anti-discrimination ordinance which the police officer did not enforce. :(

"Brothers" movie poster
Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal. Directed by Jim Sheridan (In America, In the Name of the Father), Brothers is an English-language remake of Susanne Bier's 2004 film of the same name, and it follows the intricate relationships between a marine, his wife and his fresh-out-of-jail brother.
Maguire plays Sam, a marine who goes missing overseas during his fourth tour of duty. When Sam is assumed dead, his wife Grace (Portman) tries to pull her family back together with help from Sam's black-sheep brother Tommy (Gyllenhaal). One thing leads to another, lines are crossed, and when it's discovered that Sam is actually alive, our marine returns home to a very interesting (and uncomfortable) family dynamic. A very solid trailer for the film just debuted earlier this week and this three-way cast proves they're certainly capable of delivering the goods. I also like how the poster cuts off a quarter of Portman's body, as if that's the part that now belongs to her husband's brother. It's subtle and well done.
Brothers is due out in theaters on December 4. See the full poster by clicking below.

Might be a little typo but it's a classic, 5:57! I mean really, doesn't this sound like a bunch of advertising shit:
"Goodness Manufacturing is a full service advertising agency, founded on one philosophy. We create brands people fall in love with. By any means necessary."
^^ LOL!
"By any means necessary" is priceless :)
No wonder Jake looks dismayed in the Brothers poster, he's supposed to be in front of Portman!
"Brothers" poster idea is good, but I don't like the poster. That photo of Jake somehow doesn't fit.
No wonder Jake looks dismayed in the Brothers poster, he's supposed to be in front of Portman!
No way José!
Hope you copied and saved the last Jake pics at IHJ. They've been removed.
So Tobey you think you should be the one in front of Portman getting cornholed by a 12" dildo?!

No 12" dildos for me! I'm not a size queen like some people I know.
STFU Tobey!
Tobes prefers the 10 incher.
Ha! I knew it, that spider-bitch is a size queen!
7-11 is giving away free Slurpees tomorrow in the US and Canada because it's 7-11.
I don't like the movie poster at all. I find it creepy. Lifeless. I never saw the similarity between Jake and Tobey, but Jake looks so awful in the poster, they do look alike.

^^Nope not anymore there either. Bastards.
Yeah, they're there. You have to be a member of ONTD to view them now.
"You have to be a member of ONTD to view them now.'
Why is that? Is solo Jake just so special only select people can see him without his beloved beard?
it's probably locked because the pics were deleted from the source, IHJ gallery.the same happened with the PoP pics.
there's a new post though.without the Chin.
ONTD
You lurk on IHJ 24/7, you must have sen the message from Stephanie that Splash made them remove the pictures, splash doesn't allow fansites to post pics. They contacted ONTD too. The smaller blogs like GB, WDW and OMG and here get a pass from agencies like Splash because they can't be bothered or they are not aware of the blogs.
Disney made IHJ and ONTD remove he Jake/dastan pocs but they remained on smaller blogs, except for some reason huffington post.

Jake's PR team didn't know that Splash doesn't allow fansites to post pics?
They contacted ONTD too.
Pictures are still there, the post is locked.
PR is not involved with IHJ and you know that you jealous hag.
Stephanie has become a little lazy, she realy isn't into the site as much, she has 2 other fan sites she runs. It would explain why she posted thos Pop pics a few months back tagging them "official movie stills". She knew and everyone else knew they weren't from Disney, but from a fan that posted them on her log, she probably got them from someone who worked on the film. IHJ posted them anyway and they were forced to remove them.
ONTD just locked their post like they did this time.
Wireimages and Splash=no,no and Steph knows it.
If you think PR is behind IHJ then stop lurking around there, linking and jerking off on that silly fangirl/pr site.
IHJ is part of Jake's PR.
They don't get all those pictures just because they are nice persons.
PR is not involved with IHJ and you know that you jealous hag.
Jealous of what, trolly?
Trolly,
you are as stupid as i thought. LOL!
If IHJ is PR for Jake then why do you go there and link and giving the site hits?
Trolly,
if you believe Reeke is real, why do you support OMG and WFT2?
Stay off of IHJ and stop polluting their site with your sick, stalkerish jealous fangirl obsession.
Do you know that you women are old enough to be Stephanie and the rest of the girl's mothers?? Think about that when you go trolling over to that PR site, the site that is run by mature fans, classy, etc. Oh, BTW you have to actually register to post there.
They used to have a comment section with the pictures but when the crazy, middleaged brokies showed up posting anti-semetic, mysoginist, freeper filth, they did away with them.
You fuckers need help.
BTW: Jake kisses an icky girl in Brothers, I won't see it! All I care about is BBM!! !!!!!!
OMG & WFT2 & DC=cross-posting in a circle jerk and don't think "they" don't know it..

Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love, 2009-07-07 Tacoma
Hooray!!! I've been waiting for Adam singing this! Thanks, Anon. 9:57!
You know, I've heard a lot about Adam, read a lot about him too - but I have never heard him sing, never seen him perform on American Idol, why I don't know, just never did. If he's got the cojones to take on a Rober Plant song, this I gotta hear. Yay! :)
Wow, Adam is amazing. He's really got it. He could hit all those notes, hold all those notes, and he looks great in a pair of tight pants, love the boots too. He's not skinny. He's very sexy, and has a whole lotta talent as well. Fantastic!
Something for Adam & Kris lovers :)

More please!
Count on that!
What does everyone think of Bruno? I was reading Ted's comments, and when I first saw the preview, I kinda agreed with Ted, but then I saw the preview a second time, and it just seemed a bit softer, and Bruno seemed kinda adorable, that expression on his face. If it's purely social satire against homophobia, I don't have a problem with it, and if Bruno is saying I'm here, get used to it sort of thing, but at first I didn't know who the joke was on. His D&G Dolce and Gabana remark was adorable. :)
Didn't see Bruno yet, but it looks like some gays like the movie and some not so much. As expected :)
Yes, it also doesn't seems to satirize HW and celebrity and fashion. It's really rather cute at times, at least from the previews. Bruno has this innocent almost naive take-me-as-I-am way about him, and there is a gulf of misunderstanding, but not a mean-spirited one, because I think the people he meets try to understand, and it's amusing to see. At least from the previews.
^^Make that "does", not "doesn't". :)
Morning Piss: Brüno’s Biggest Problem? Not Funny
Gay issues are, like, totally hot right now, right? What with Prop 8 and the whole Carrie Prejean "opposite marriage" mess, so Sacha Baron Cohen must be friggin' overjoyed—with Brüno being released this week.
We checked out an early screening, and tho we love a good gay giggle as much as the next moviegoer, we just couldn't get behind Cohen behaving as though being gay automatically makes you hilarious to watch. It doesn't.
SBC's performance is a straight man's limited idea of what he thinks is stereotypically gay. It's unknowing, ignorant, offensive and guilty of the most heinous crime of all: It's just not funny. If he'd made us guffaw we could at least forgive him for giving us a politically incorrect good time.
Plus, we still live in a world where not all people see gays as equals, obviously. You know, we're just around to do your hair or design your clothes or entertain you, that kind of sick thinking. Which is exactly what Cohen's been doing, dressing like a horned-up, couture-draped idiot on every press stop.
Since the most obvious (and pretty much only) attribute Brüno has is being gay, audiences aren't laughing at Brüno the fool, but Brüno the homosexual. Skip it, we say.
^^That's what I thought the danger would be too at first, laughing for the wrong reasons, and just perpetuating stereotypes.
But the second time I saw the preview, I focused on the other elements in it besides Bruno, and I think I got what SBC was trying to do, the social satire aspect of it. Hopefully. :)
Or maybe the question should be, "Which is a better gay porn movie?" Both open today, which means you can catch a double feature and make the call for yourself.
Vanity Fair's gay car blogger Brett Berk makes the case: "Bruno’s schtick is straight-up Pinkface. He grabs hold of an easy gay target—a vapid fashionista—and then waves it in the air tirelessly for 83 minutes, like some underpantied go-go boy on a rainbow Pride Parade float. That’s not dancing, it’s not original, and it’s certainly not funny. [...]
Humpday is a bit more complex, if you think movies where characters constantly talk about what’s going on is evidence of complexity. My boyfriend Tal said, 'It’s like Old Joy, but with words.' And if you know Old Joy (and you should), you’ll know its premise—two now-distant old college friends reunite and take stock of each other’s lives, and their own, to somewhat devastating effect. Only in this movie, they also decide to fuck and make a porno for some amorphous art contest. This would be fine if it was a seven minute skit. Or if either of the actors was hot. Or if they didn’t treat gay sex as such an impossible-to-wrap-their-mind-around taboo. Or (spoiler alert) if they actually got over their smug Seattle selves and followed through. There’s one great scene featuring a confession regarding a hairy-balled video store clerk. But even this felt like a watered-down version of Jason Patrick’s tell-all scene in Your Friends and Neighbors, a movie I didn’t even like, by one of my most reviled straight provocateur writer/directors. 'I never thought I’d say this,' my friend Colin confessed as the scene ended, 'but I almost wish this movie was directed by Neil LaButte.'"
Either way, you'll get man-on-man sex in both of them. Win-win? (Lose-lose?)

July 10 - Reeke leaving the gym
IF, if Jake's really dating her, kudos to him because she looks like his mom and her teeth are gross. Also she doesn't seem like the most intelligent chick. If they are dating for real then she must have something about her. I can't see it though.
"linking and jerking off on that silly fangirl/pr site."
Wait, first you defend/speak for IHJ, then you call it a silly fangirl site? You're the jerkoff, trolly.

Reese is the beard, that's the only good thing about her.
New York, NY, July 10, 2009
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) today issued the following statement from incoming President Jarrett Barrios in response to the film “Brüno,” which opens in movie theatres nationwide today.
“In many parts of the United States, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people live life in harm’s way. We are among the most frequently targeted for hate crimes—including physical attacks, verbal assaults and destruction of our property. In particular, LGBT youth experience bullying and violence in school and social settings--harassment that contributes to lower self-respect, depression and increased incidence of suicide.
Into this context steps the movie “Brüno,” an 80-some-minute series of sketches apparently intended to skewer these homophobic attitudes—and get some laughs along the way. Clearly, the filmmakers wanted to use satire to highlight and challenge homophobia. But their film also reinforces troubling attitudes about gay people in ways that run counter to the intentions of the filmmakers.
The movie repeatedly builds entire scenes around stock stereotypes and situations that make gay people and families the butt of crude jokes. I can’t help but think of all the teenage kids already getting bullied, beat up and ridiculed for being--or for being thought to be--gay. For these kids, this movie will give their tormentors one more word in the anti-gay lexicon of slurs: Bruno.
Instead of challenging stereotypes, it reinforces them for many of the those who voted to take away the freedom to marry from loving, committed gay and lesbian couples in California. Many states have gone even further—Arkansans went to the polls and effectively eliminated the ability of gay people to adopt or foster children in that state. In a cruel twist, “Brüno,” some of which was actually shot in Arkansas, includes a scene where the title character shows a talk-show audience photos of sexual activity occurring in the presence of an infant child. Can this help the gay families across the country who continue to be reduced to political punching bags at the ballot box?
It's unfortunate that “Brüno” ultimately misses the mark, particularly when there are still far too few positive images of gay people in major studio films. Some members of our community will not be offended by this film. Others, like those of us at GLAAD, find it frustrating and discouraging to be confronted with a movie that wants to increase America’s discomfort with homophobia, but which for much of America, seems likely to decrease its comfort with gay people.”
Ya know, Reese might be the beard but she can't be all to blame. More and more Jake looks like a spineless mama's boy jerkoff. I'm starting to hate him and have as much disrespect for him as I do for Reese. Maybe even more.
I don't think we ever blamed only the chin. The chin got her marketing tool because Jake agreed / wanted to be part of the charade.
This C list movie actor in a blockbuster summer movie paid for his date to be at the premiere. As in she charged him by the hour paid. She looked it too.
Ent Lawyer
LOL at the description for Reeke Burn 60 pics, "they get caught leaving the gym together". Jake's at front parking spot so the gym name can be seen, look at pics of people who look like tourists/casual folks on the street in background all waiting around for Jake to show, then he does and then everyone on the sidewalk gets out their cameras and videos. Oh and the gym guy is out there too to make sure he got a piece of the hired pap action. LOL. Reeke just didn't have any Reeke pics out there in the last week, so they had to get some. Call the gym, they make sure you get a top parking space and they get free advertising, call the paps, Reeke pics DONE.
the gym guy is out there too to make sure he got a piece of the hired pap action
Hey kids and all my buddies, see who I was with! Reese and Jake!
Call the gym, they make sure you get a top parking space and they get free advertising, call the paps, Reeke pics DONE.
Win-win business.
Bruno is a parody of a stereotype that does exist. Sometimes I think activists get so caught up in fighting and running away from the stereotype that end up being as unaccepting of people who do not conform as the homophobes.
A source intimately involved in the Brüno production complains to me that it "completely misses the mark". That's because this insider provides me with some not before now known behind-the-scenes details for me about why the film has had, and probably should have, problems with the gay community:
"The film has not been screened for a large number of gays for a reason. Throughout the many private screenings [the filmmakers] have had, the reaction from gays has been almost uniformally one of alarm. It is not a scathing depiction of homophobia -- but a grotesque satire of homosexuality. Brüno is a sickening mixture of narcissism, fetishism and shallowness - and he is virtually the only gay representation in the movie. The 'homophobia' of the various straight men who he encounters and propositions, seems only natural when faced with such an odious sexual monster. Sacha, Jay and their writers did significant reshoots to try to temper the troubled reactions of the few gay people they invited to screenings. One 'out' comedy writer refused to help on the reshoots, because he found the content so disturbing.
The reshoots did not do much other than manage to get Elton John and a few other music celebs to participate in an ending that seemed to promote gay marriage. However, these musicians - including Chris Martin - continue to be concerned as they have not been shown the finished film. Can you imagine a comedian going around in black face in a movie, doing a stereotype of black Americans without ever once using a black collaborator or showing the film to a black audience? Gay men continue to be the last easy targets of the fratboy comedies so prevalent these days. And while Brüno pretends to be subversive, it is no different."
Nikki Finke - Is 'Brüno' Comedy Or "Grotesque Satire Of Homosexuality"?
It is not a scathing depiction of homophobia -- but a grotesque satire of homosexuality. Brüno is a sickening mixture of narcissism, fetishism and shallowness - and he is virtually the only gay representation in the movie.
I can see why some gays could hate it.

no 7 year old girl is going to say "you're just mad because mommy'd rather sleep with uncle tommy than you" to her father.
it sounds too self aware/snarky/intelligent for a child to say. especially since the "sleep with" bit was an obvious indication towards sex, which i honestly can't imagine coming out of a kid's mouth. they probably know a general idea of what that means but not enough to say something like THAT
^^^ I agree, that sounded wrong and unconvincing on so many levels. lol
"This looks like a still from an awkward threesome"
Couldn't agree more, that's the reason I don't like the poster.

The language in the Danish film was more specific. shagging, perhaps. and seven year olds have a high awareness of sexual tension. This is a typical action of an angry and confused child, not UNtypical.
Sexual tension? I misunderstood then, I didn't know that Tommy (Jake) wants to shagg Grace.
^^Of course they do, kids don't miss a thing - seven is an age of great awareness, especially today.
I don't think the poster looks like a threesome at all - just look at the facial expressions and body language to see the difference.
seven year olds have a high awareness of sexual tension
High awareness of tension - yes.
High awareness of sexual tension - no.
^^Wrong - you'd be amazed what kids say from what they observe, my nephew was younger than 7. While they might not equate it with sex per se, they notice.
Perez pimping Reeke again
I don't think the poster looks like a threesome at all - just look at the facial expressions and body language to see the difference.
Tobey is naked, Jake isn't.
Tobey and Natalie have their eyes closed.
Jake looks like a pervert spying on Tobey and Natalie. lol
Ha! He looks hurt, left out and on the periphery to me. Tobey is shirtless, we don't know if he's naked; he looks angry and hurt, and has his back turned on everyone. Grace is broken into two pieces, and looks like she's almost apologzing to or trying to soothe her psychically wounded husband.
The kid may see sleeping or sleeping over, not sex per se.
"seven year olds have a high awareness of sexual tension
High awareness of tension - yes.
High awareness of sexual tension - no."
Sorry to disagee. Ive worked in this field.
The kid may see sleeping or sleeping over, not sex per se.
The kid would say "you're just mad because mommy likes uncle tommy more than you" or something similar. The kid talking about sleeping together=sex doesn't make sense to me.
I dont understand all of the opinions from people who do not know the story, nor have seen either film.
Rent the Danish film. The Brothers script is practically word for word scene by scene.
"The kid may see sleeping or sleeping over, not sex per se.

Sorry you don't know nothin' about it, Alma.
I know of a certain child who asked a certain man if he were going to sleep over. This certain child was younger than seven, so he made the connection of two adults sleeping together.
I dont understand all of the opinions from people who do not know the story, nor have seen either film.
We have seen the trailer, we have an opinion.
We're guessing about the story from the trailer, and with certain things in life we may know of to be true ourselves; I haven't seen either the original or the remake yet.
Sorry you don't know nothin' about it, Alma.
I'm glad I don't, I just think it's an unrealistic scene and some people agree.
To me it seemed realistic, and some children are wise beyond their years.
The kids have to adjust to their Dad being back as well, and they've probably grown close to Tommy, so it may be just as much the child's thoughts than what actually is going on.
Here's the poster for the December drama Brothers.
I can already hear Glenn at Stale Popcorn gnashing his teeth over that empty white space up top. He hates that! But I personally love the poster. It strikes me as appropriately minimalist and I love the delicate severity of that thin cleaving white line. The movie spins a rather simple story of a woman whose heart is split between two brothers, her husband (who goes missing in The Middle East) and her brother-in-law (who comforts her at home).
I love the poster but I'm worried.
The trailer is as In Contention suggests, way too shrill. I saw it a week ago and chose to ignore it since I'm eager to see this. It suggests a film that's twice as histrionic as even the climax of the Danish film that this is based on (a film which I've raved about in the past and which you should rent not only because it's good but for compare/contrast purposes). Said trailer also gives far too much of the story away. It's one of those trailers that tells you the whole story from beginning to end. It doesn't even stop at the 2/3rds or the 3/4ths mark.
Nevertheless, we'll hope for the best. Brothers opens almost exactly 5 years to the day since Closer ushered in Natalie Portman's graduation to adult roles. Good sign? Plus, director Jim Sheridan has a way with actors and he's a bit of a gold magnet. He's only made six films prior to Brothers, two of which were best picture nominees (My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father). His films have garnered eight acting nominations with two wins. Quite an enviable track record, yes?
Any hunches on how Brothers will fare?

I'll probably rent the Danish version after I've seen this one to compare.
I think Natalie is beautiful in this, I love her hair. She seems a bit fragile, and I love Tommy, from what I've seen of the trailer, and I feel for what Tobey's character is going through, it's difficult, the war's disruption of their lives.
Maybe it was noticed that Mommy seems happy after Uncle Tommy comes over? I hope we get to see some of those tats. ;)
"Any hunches on how Brothers will fare?"
I think it's gonna be good, and I think Tobey's going to get an Oscar nomination. I wish Natalie could compete with the Danish woman lead, and I'd like to be surprised. I think Tobey's gonna take this one.
And I sorta trust Sheridan on this one, too. . .
I'm excited about seeing it - the more I hear about it. :)
Maybe it was noticed that Mommy seems happy after Uncle Tommy comes over?
Maybe, but that should make her feel bad for her Dad and mad at Uncle Tommy.
It looks like, and there's no way to know for sure, that her Dad now is prone to rages. She's playing with a balloon or something that makes noise, and it seems to get on his nerves and set him off. It may be an adjustment for her, and everyone, to have him back, and not the same as he was either. She yells this remark about Uncle Tommy back to her Dad, and he may feel he's been replaced. Should be an interesting drama.

Am I the only who sees that poster design and thinks of "The Reader" and its similarly split female in the center design?
^^I had forgotten about that. What a great movie.

It makes sense that kids are frustrated and scared and pissed off with their father who turned into a stranger, but it doesn't make sense that remark is about sex.

"I saw what looked like a pretty final cut of this a few months ago and it was a hot mess. Just as disjointed as the trailer makes it seem. I'm curious and hopeful that they've changed it, but based on what I say, this has flop written all over it. Too bad, because the actors are all pretty good in the movie."
^^^ Comment from Ben Waldorf, 22, just graduated with a B.A. from UC Santa Cruz in Film & Digital Media - Production.
So he's just talking about the film production and editing? If the actors are good. Maybe they are making changes to it?
IDK, maybe the little daughter has picked up on some "difficulties" between the husband and wife since he's been back? Maybe nothing at all happened between Tommy and Grace, and he just thinks it did?
WHY are you crazzzy people debating the meaning of this picture on the basis of a fucking trailer? have you no mothers, or anything, to keep you occupied?
Don't you have fucking Netflix? I guess not. Im really worried about you. why don't you move to some place civilized?

What's your REAL problem?
"The kid would say "you're just mad because mommy likes uncle tommy more than you" or something similar."
ITA.
Maybe they are making changes to it?
Maybe. They have enough time, the question is do they have the money?
Love how Natalie's character has a $500 haircut, color and highlights in the movie. Oh nose job too. Probably $3,000 caps on each tooth also. Nice for a struggling young mother.
I'm iffy on the poster. On one hand it makes it look like such a boring story the 2 stars/characters are already asleep and the 3rd one (Jake) is eyes half-closed and about to drift off himself. Or maybe they're dead from boredom. And whats the white line over Nat's eyebrow?
P.S. on the teeth issue, I can hardly wait to see all the perfect pearly whites in POP. Who knew the 4th/7th century or whatever time it was had such advanced dental/orthodontic care!

LOL!
"The kid would say "you're just mad because mommy likes uncle tommy more than you" or something similar."
No, they would say "you're just mad because uncle tommy dines out at the Y more than you"
or "you're just mad because uncle tommy knows how to give mommy better orgasms than you"
or "you're just mad because uncle tommy doesn't grab the back of mommy's head and her hair and force her to swallow like you do"
or "you're just mad because mommy likes licking uncle tommy's balls more than yours"
"The kid would say "you're just mad because mommy likes uncle tommy more than you" or something similar."

You people have been watching too much TV or something. have no idea what goes on in the kindergarten.
watch some Truffaut films. USAans have always assumed children were blank checks on which you can write whatever you please. sorry life aint like that.
oh whatever - no way to reach some brainwashed people. I pity your children who will grow up to be freaks.
"you're just mad because mommy and uncle tommy's favorite number is 69 and mommy always says you're a 3 incher"
"have no idea what goes on in the kindergarten."
OK so tell us what real-life sexual stuff kids have said to you about their parents having affairs. Tell me because obviously I'm ignorant.
Well, 5:54 PM?
oh whatever - no way to reach some brainwashed people.
7 year young children SHOULD have limited knowledge about sex.
5:53 PM
LMAO, you are bad!
"you're just mad because in the morning mommy says she likes uncle tommy's teabag better than your chock full o nuts"
"you're just mad because uncle tommy and mommy play leapfrog all the time"
"you're just mad because mommy said uncle tommy's tool hammers her better than yours ever did...daddy, why don't you go buy a new tool?"
"you're just mad because mommy says its nice that she doesn't have to do everything all the time because uncle tommy dines out at the Y more than you"
Bloody kids!
"daddy, what does mommy mean when she tells uncle tommy she wants to suck his rooster?"
"does uncle tommy have a rooster? I wanna pet it too!"
LOL,
didn't expect to see Jake here :)

Did you have a good time? :)
Um kind of but I was looking for Jake like in the background of a gym or a bathroom. Thx for the screen shot, but ttytt that pic on the side wasn't what was expected. Maybe you should be in PR/advertising, you made it seem like a lot more than it was. Oh well. lol.
I did say "(mis)using Jake's photo"! lol
Thx for the screen shot, but ttytt that pic on the side wasn't what was expected.
Did you click it?
OMFG. I put the word "fedorawhora" in Urban Dictionary I made up after seeing all the hats Jake was wearing, not only did UD list it they're printing it on coffee mugs. Some guy already bought 20 of them! ROTFLMAO!
"Did you click it?"
Now I did, LMAO.. "misused"? Jake would probably be mad it was so small, lol. Thx!

There is much literature on the sexuality of children.

Stipe has a lot of friends who visit and have a lot of hair, like this guy...
Stipe's guest
p.s. the wife and brother did NOT have sex. there was NOT an affaire. the child's response was more complex. see the fuckin' Danish film, puleeeze!
Someone who wears a fedora hat with almost any outfit (whether it goes with it or not), wears a fedora almost every day, and has a large wardrobe of fedora hats in different colors and trims; someone who basically just loves fedoras.
Frank Sinatra might have been the original celebrity to do it, but Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Jake Gyllenhaal are modern-day fedorawhoras, wearing fedora hats almost every day.

"There is much literature on the sexuality of children.'
^^ Classic cop-out on answering the question.
"see the fuckin' Danish film, puleeeze!"
Subtitles? No thanks. And why should I see the hard-to-find (and yes I have looked) Danish film when the US one is bound to be different, which is the point anyway? God you're dumb.
p.s. the wife and brother did NOT have sex. there was NOT an affaire.
Don't say that on the Internet! We need to promote the movie and claim that US version of "Brothers" is full of hot sex scenes!
Isn't Brothers gonna be rated R? Along with the doobie scene you'd expect at least 1 simulated sex act, a lot of sex cuss words and a flash of boob.
OK OK if it's Nat's boob then it about equals a men's shirtless scene, so maybe there's a Tobey bare butt while shaving mirror reflection to make up for it.
Don't forget that girl from the bar. Jake and that girl have a few naughty scenes - rear and partial front nudity!
Maybe if we're lucky we'll get some under the covers missionary position pumping and thrusting with Nat and Jake, a la Good Girl. Btw it always cracks me up, that GG scene, the physical space between the in and out thrusts.. Jake musta thought 1) his cock is 14 inches long and 2) thats how straight guys thrust with their 14 incher. THAT'S the moment I first had suspicions about Jake being gay, when that fuck scene was terribly done. He had no idea how to do it.
Jake musta thought 1) his cock is 14 inches long
15.
Jake honey you accidentally put on your magnifying glasses on again.
You know, the magnifying glasses that belong to Granny so she can find her tiny sense of humility.
