In high school, I always loved movies; yet, I always looked at them passively. Only rarely did I become involved in the events or with the characters I saw on screen. In fact, prior to Brokeback Mountain I can't think of a single instance when I felt a profound emotional reaction to a film. I remember getting a little choked up while watching the end of Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia, but that's as close as it ever got to my becoming emotionally invested in situations taking place in a movie.
I watched Brokeback Mountain with my father on opening weekend back in late 2005 — though we had actually gone to see Capote instead. When we tried to buy tickets, we realized there was only one showing of Capote four or five hours later. Brokeback Mountain, however, was playing in just an hour; so, we bought two tickets and went to Borders to wait.
Since at the store they had a display with E. Annie Proulx's short story, my father and I each grabbed a copy and read it while we waited to see the movie, which had been getting phenomenal reviews. Curiously, I remember feeling underwhelmed by the short story. I thought to myself, "I don't even know if I'm excited to see this movie anymore." But since we had already bought the tickets, there wasn't really any turning back.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain"
After the hour passed, we went in. As I sat there watching Brokeback Mountain unfold, something changed within me. I don't know what caused it exactly, but I remember that I started crying when Gustavo Santaolalla's "The Wings" began playing while Jack and Ennis are at the campfire. I had never, ever cried because of a movie. And frankly, I did not understand how or why anyone would. Still, as I sat there in the theater, I could not contain my tears.
Eventually, I stopped crying, but the tears began streaming down once again when Ennis collects Jack's shirt and hugs it, fighting to hold on to the man he loved. I shed more tears at the end of the film, when Ennis opens his closet door, looks at the shirt, and the credits slowly start to roll.
I don't know why, but ever since that first time I saw Brokeback Mountain, my entire movie-watching experience has been radically different. After that, I have revisited movies I had seen before; suddenly, I was looking at them in a new light; at times, I was able to connect with them where before I had been emotionally and/or intellectually detached.
In addition, whether or not I'm watching a movie for the first time, I have been able to find layers to characters and settings that would have been out of my reach before. In essence, Brokeback Mountain made me realize how much I truly love the art of film. It also inspired me to start writing about it.
I mustered the courage to start posting my film commentaries online only in 2008 or whereabouts, but I had never considered writing about movies prior to Brokeback Mountain. In a profound way, that same-sex love story set in the American West made me realize there were tangible differences between bad cinema, good cinema, and great cinema. Needless to say, I'm fully aware that my Brokeback Mountain experience was exceptional, for having such a visceral response to any film is something quite unique.
Even though I cannot fully explain my personal reaction to the film, I must credit the filmmakers for it. Had Brokeback Mountain not been crafted the way it was, I find it impossible to believe that I would have been so deeply affected by it. After all, I had felt quite unenthusiastic after reading E. Annie Proulx's short story.
I have watched Brokeback Mountain many times since that first viewing. My experience has been different each time, but the film's power has never been lost. As we grow, our experiences change; our hope is that they will change not for the worse, but for the better. Thanks to Brokeback Mountain, I can happily say that mine have been forever changed for the better.

By the way, if Jake isn't gay, and Austin and Sophia are for real, why did someone photoshop Jake out of photos of the three on them on the beach back in 2006?
They also cut Austin out of a July 4 party over at Matt McConaughey's place in 2006 where Jake made sure to be photographed walking along the beach with Natalie Portman. Another chick they tried to ship Jake with to cover for his real relationship with Austin.
...guess where last year. That's right, Marfa, Texas.
Please stop that insanity - Mumford and Sons didn't plan their tour so that Jake could visit Marfa, TX or Austin, TX.
Please read more carefully - ruining the fandom. You'll make us all look like delusional fools.
Make up your mind all ready. First we're a few delusional fans that nobody gives a fuck about, next minute we're ruining his entire fandom. ROFLMAO on that latter theory.
Jake has done just fine on his own ruining his fandom, especially with the whole Swifty disaster.
They also cut Austin out of a July 4 party
How do you know that if Austin was cut out?
Oops, made a math error, we've had 114 posts.
Make up your mind all ready. First we're a few delusional fans that nobody gives a fuck about, next minute we're ruining his entire fandom.
Destiny, there were times where you used your brain. I remember them well.
The reason Jake was photoshopped out of that pic from January 2006 was because of the infamous February 11, 2006 Lakers photos. Right after that, pics appeared that had Austin strolling along the beach with Sophia alone. Even though Jake was right beside him. The immediate response to the brouhaha caused by the Lakers photos was lightning speed. Jake's people trying to provide cover by demonstrating that Austin was straight because he was alone with a girl. They were both wearing the same set of clothes from January because the set of photos were from the time Jake was seen with Sophia.
I think Destiny is a sharp cookie. I've been around here a long time. Sure is funny how the OMG crowd are the only ones who have the guts to post with their blogger names while everyone else posts under Anons. There's a reason for that and it's because of the trolls who can't stand anyone who suggests that Jake is still with Austin and they are parents.
Someone said earlier that they didn't think Jake was the passionate kind. I'm not sure what that means, but he is definitely the fathering kind. Has talked about wanting his own children for years. Maggie was even interviewed in 2008 and indicated that Jake had a natural touch with children. Anne Hathaway made the point of saying he was the most nurturing person that she knew. Well who the heck is he nurturing? And, don't say Ramona because it's obvious he uses her for any slip up. I suspect Anne obviously knows he has children and has seen them interact.
At 30, I think it's more than likely Jake does have his own family. If that's the case, then the most likely co-parent is Austin. I haven't forgotten that interview from December, 2009 where Jake actually said he was a married man either. People have tried to discount it, but he was not joking and he was not talking about his character from Brothers. Some people here are constantly saying that people can't provide facts. Yet, that interview is a fact. And, the trolls still ignore it.

I'm TB since 2006. I'm sure Jake and Austin broke up long ago and there is no BT. That doesn't make me troll. WTF is wrong with you people?
Thanks 5:46.
I haven't forgotten that interview from December, 2009 where Jake actually said he was a married man either.
But you "forgot" how Jake and Austin don't care about being together. You'll just ignore facts because you don't like them.
Someone said earlier that they didn't think Jake was the passionate kind. I'm not sure what that means...
passionate [ˈpæʃənɪt]
adj
1. manifesting or exhibiting intense sexual feeling or desire a passionate lover
2. capable of, revealing, or characterized by intense emotion a passionate plea
3. easily roused to anger; quick-tempered

Denying their own kids and hiding them is what good fathers do?
I haven't forgotten that interview from December, 2009 where Jake actually said he was a married man either.
But you forgot about Jake saying he's not a father yet, right?

Thanks 5:46.
Yes, thanks for confirming my point about delusional OMGs who are doing their best to make J/A believers look like fools.

So let me get this straight. He spends years deep in the closet and in an elaborate bearding arrangement, and, according to some, makes all kinds of secret arrangements and scenarios to hide his true relationship - but then he's just going to come out and say he is married? Come on. Explain how that makes any sense. Jake misspeaks and jumbles his words all the time. Nothing new there.
Destiny has learned how to blow smoke with statistics, I see. Why do you include Tom? He rarely posts here anymore, whatever he believes, he doesn't attack about it. It's mostly PG and Destiny on the crusade. PG has posted ten times in less than a 24-hour period, and mostly diatribes.
And the night's still young!

As usual, you use (ONE) situation where he was obviously joking, then you hang on to it forever and use it for your evidence. Then you totally discount all of the other situations where he has said he wants children, don't have children, he's dating a female, he's not gay, etc. etc...
The you say he's lying and make all kinds of excuses to support your fantasy of he and Austin be married and with at least 3 children.
Picking and choosing to suit your agenda again huh?
You can't be in OZ if you are in Wonderland. Which is it? Maybe in your case you're in both fantasy worlds.

Ohhhh be careful there, honey. You have no idea what you're poking fun at.
Numbers are irrelevant when it comes to truth.
OMG is down to a little over a handful of steady commenters. But as I've said before, Special is getting the big hits. People are lurking but they're either afraid or intimidated to comment.
I believe there are gossip bloggists and media following OMG. There are people all over the world following this saga.
So the trusty 6 who are regularly commenting, we may be the most visible but we are certainly not the only audience. By far.
People are lurking but they're either afraid or intimidated to comment.
And why would that be?
That's rich, 21:25. Look how I get treated here.
Don't even. That'll be my off to bed chuckle, I think. lol

Look how I get treated here.
Much better than sane people who post on OMG.
I see people are saying that Jake was just joking about being a married man. Now, why would he do that? Anyone can tell by reading the interview that the topic under discussion was serious, not humorous. Jake made the comment in December, 2009 right after his freedom from Reeke. He probably felt liberated and wanted to throw it out there, figuring others would just cover up his mess like they always do. Regarding kids, I think he has them, and continues to lie because he's not ready to come out yet. And, whoever doesn't think Jake is passionate, you must be kidding me. That boy overflows with an intense desire for intimacy and has a lustful core that is not only mercurial but romantically inspired as well.
Of course Jake lies constantly. Gay men in the closet are liars because they are hiding their true desires and identities from the world. Saying he was a married man was an act of rebellion against the system, which I think he does do periodically. Just like he wears rings on his fingers or touches his necklace on the cover of magazines.
Jake is notorious for his rambling comments during interviews. Hes said the wrong thing more than once. That is why pr now keeps him and the questions allowed to be asked of him on a tightly controlled script. So tight they become boring after a couple of interviews. But it minimizes the chances of his letting something slip. What I find truly odd is that the troll visits a blog devoted to Jake is gay no make that 3 blogs since he reads every word ever written on omg wft2 and ted but yet is surprised to find we all believe that Jake is gay. He could choose to can hang with fellow straight believers on wet dark and wild or gyllenbabble but cant because he wont choose a name to consistently identify himself. How suspicious is that.
And, whoever doesn't think Jake is passionate, you must be kidding me.
You must be joking.
I see people are saying that Jake was just joking about being a married man. Now, why would he do that?
I don't know, I just know that Jake never acts like a married man - and you know that too.
Jake said he doesn't have kids. I know that having hidden kids would mean that Jake can't talk about them, but there was no reason for Jake to explicitly deny them. A parent would never deny his kids like that, they are too precious to say such lie out loud.
And, whoever doesn't think Jake is passionate, you must be kidding me. That boy overflows with an intense desire for intimacy and has a lustful core that is not only mercurial but romantically inspired as well.
It's fascinating how many people don't know what 'passionate' means:
passionate [ˈpæʃənɪt]
adj
1. manifesting or exhibiting intense sexual feeling or desire a passionate lover
2. capable of, revealing, or characterized by intense emotion a passionate plea
3. easily roused to anger; quick-tempered

Now you're a psychologist? And stop calling people trolls just because they disagree with you on this point or that there is a J&A family with a bunch of BTs. Jake being gay does not equal Jake being married with kiddies. That's been repeated 1,000 times but you still can't separate those things.

Thank You! You may have to tell her one more time.
Its absurd to call someone a troll because they don't believe two rational people would marry, have children then travel the world separated but, with other people, then hide their children.
Most people are not buying what you're selling. Sorry

I just read a couple comments you are supposedly responding to and you indicate that they called people who didn't believe Jake has children trolls. First off, they didn't call anyone a troll. They just stated their opinions. The fact you put that allegation into their comments (1:08 & 1:14 pm) says something about your agenda. People are allowed to have different opinions.
And that one definition about passionate is absurd. They are many aspects to being passionate. Including intensity, and emotionally capable and enthusiastic. Jake is all those things.
For the person who says Jake is not passionate what word would you describe him as. The opposite would be frigid, uncaring and cold. I hardly think Jake is any of those things.
For the person who says Jake is not passionate what word would you describe him as.
I would describe Franco as someone passionate about his work. Jake isn't.
Sorry, but Jake has children. If you don't want to believe it, that's fine. But, that is one of the reasons he went into the closet in the Fall, 2007.
Someone not too longer ago indicated that they thought it was odd that writers would even be asking that question of Jake. However, his people want the topic of children to be brought up on purpose so he can deny it on the record. Normally, he doesn't allow personal questions at all. But, somehow he doesn't mind that one.
My favorite was when he justified not having children because he was too selfish then within six months the story is floated that he jumped on that Mumford train on a whim. No change of clothes. Leaves Atti behind to starve. Yeah right. He's a classic cold-harded bitch. I'm not buying what Jake and his people have been selling for the past four years or so. Most everything about closeted Jake has been manufactured to hide his true self.
First off, they didn't call anyone a troll. They just stated their opinions.
That is a blatant lie. There are people who believe J&A are raising kids who are calling all other TBs trolls - here and on OMG - and they are doing that for a long time.
But, that is one of the reasons he went into the closet in the Fall, 2007.
Jake did not go into the closet in 2007, Jake is in the closet since forever.
Someone not too longer ago indicated that they thought it was odd that writers would even be asking that question of Jake.
Jake bearded with women who has kids, he posed with her kids for paparazzi, PoP was promoted for kids (toys), Brothers was about a relationship with a women who has kids and he's 30.
I would describe Franco as someone passionate about his work. Jake isn't.
Oh, you are talking about Jake only within the context of his career. In that case, I might buy that interpretation. He does seem to be a bit of a dilettante when it comes to his chosen profession. A dabbler. Easily distracted with passing fancies. He never delves to deeply into anything and is too interested in pleasing others to be passionate about his work.
My favorite was when he justified not having children because he was too selfish then within six months the story is floated that he jumped on that Mumford train on a whim. No change of clothes. Leaves Atti behind to starve. Yeah right.
Yes, we know that Jake did that. And after that Jake went to NYC to see Maggie and co. Austin went to Indonesia. To Europe. To PR. They don't have family ties.
First off, they didn't call anyone a troll.
Untrue. See 2:21AM, 8:18 PM, and 5:46PM on this page alone. There are tons more examples of the use of the word troll when someone doesn't believe the J/A, BT storyline.
They are asking Jake about kids now so he has an opportunity to go on the record and tell people he doesn't have them. The fact that he bearded with a woman with kids might indicate that he did so in case there was a slip up (toys found in car, him papped shopping in a kids store, etc.) it could just be explained away that it was Reese's kids like the Paris video with the inflatable horse and baby carriage or Jake in that London park photo behind that big boat. The fact that Jake does Disney (family) and Sesame Street appearances tells me that perhaps he does have children now. Actors tend to take more gigs like this once they have children of their own.
Leaves Atti behind to starve.
LOL. Who do you think is feeding Atti when Jake is around the country and the world making movies? Why would Atti starve just because Jake is following Mumford & Sons on their tour? He doesn't live a life like the rest of us - he can easily take off on a moment's notice to do anything he wants beause he has personal assistants and their job is to take care of that stuff. He doesn't need to make frantic, last minute arrangements.
10:08 - Actually it is true. I was pointing to those two commenters and neither one called anyone trolls. They simply stated an opinion.
They are asking Jake about kids now so he has an opportunity to go on the record and tell people he doesn't have them.
Jake's PR asked interviewers to ask Jake about kids so Jake could deny having kids? Is that what you're saying?
The story was that Jake jumped on that train on a whim. The whole thing was made up. He's never done anything like that before. By the time people are 30, they don't suddenly change. That trip was so coordinated and planned it's a joke that anyone is willing to buy it. Part of that trip was to promote Jake as the single, carefree man. No attachments or responsibilities. Scripted.
10:08 - Actually it is true.
Are you new here or you just enjoy treating people like idiots?

Bullshit. Jake is acting like a single, unattached man ALL THE TIME. For example, Jake was in NYC for weeks during Winter holiday season. Austin was somewhere else. That was also scripted?
Absolutely, interviewers are suddenly asking Jake about having kids to squelch the rumors because we all know that Jake would never deny having kids. That's what they want folks to think.
Interviewers are screened and told what to ask. They are told to stick to questions about the movie or whatever Jake is promoting at the time. No personal questions. Yet, recently they have been allowed to ask him about having a family. Why aren't they allowed to ask him about his "girlfriends" or who's he dating? Seems to me you have to have a girlfriend before you start having children. At least, for those who think Jake is straight. Yet, interviews avoid discussing this personal question or aspect of his life. All we get on the phony tabloid covers and blurbs about who he's been seen with, but he never talks about that topic.
You have no idea where Austin was during the holidays or Jake's birthday. Sophia never posted any pictures of them together either.
10:30 AM - but we know what Jake did during the holidays, there were tons of sightings of him, including photos. Jake and Austin could have stayed in LA and be together, but they didn't.
Absolutely, interviewers are suddenly asking Jake about having kids to squelch the rumors because we all know that Jake would never deny having kids.
There are no rumors about Jake having kids.
Jake denied having kids in an interview ("not father yet").
Jake's PR asked interviewers to ask Jake about kids so Jake could deny having kids? Is that what you're saying?
YES!
What a LOoNeY way of thinking.
WOW I just don't believe some people here.
The J/A married with BT LOONS are Funnnnny, and, their SPECIAL so I'll leave them alone!
*#*+"Shakes head"*^*#

10:08 - Actually it is true. I was pointing to those two commenters and neither one called anyone trolls. They simply stated an opinion.

ITA. And just because Jake may no longer be with Austin or he spends a lot of time in NYC doesn't mean he doesn't have a child. For one thing, I think the reason he spends so much time in NYC is so BT will have someone to play with -- Ramona--and because Ramona gives Jake cover for anything child-related. It was only after his "breakup" with Reese (and her kids for cover) that Jake started spending so much time in NYC.
The word troll is directed at people like 10:55, who use the word loon, and knock people like Special, for their belief in BT and Jake being with Austin. It is not directed at people who respectfully voice their different opinions.

Speak for yourself, destiny. The troll word gets thrown around a lot more than that. If you didn't make those posts that use the word "troll" you can't make that statement.
And just because Jake may no longer be with Austin or he spends a lot of time in NYC doesn't mean he doesn't have a child.
One more time - we are looking for any reason we should believe Jake has a kid. Still nothing.
For one thing, I think the reason he spends so much time in NYC is so BT will have someone to play with -- Ramona--and because Ramona gives Jake cover for anything child-related.
How would that work? Maggie or Jake takes Ramona out and BT is told to play on his/her own? Would you do that to your kid?
We know Jake has a kid or kids because Toothy Tile has a kid or kids. And we know that Toothy Tile is Jake. Simple logic regardless of how well the kids are kept hidden or how deeply closeted he stays. And we know his partner is Goose. And we know ... fill in the rest of the sentence yourself.
It [the word "troll"] is not directed at people who respectfully voice their different opinions.
Well, that's the official line anyway, but not the reality. Troll, on both sides of the argument, are those who disagree.
Also, just because some may not believe in a J&A relationship and BTs, doesn't mean they can't stand the idea of it. Where does that come from? It's a nice thing, but there are no facts about it, so a healthy skepticism is understandable. So many groundless assumptions.
How would that work? Maggie or Jake takes Ramona out and BT is told to play on his/her own? Would you do that to your kid?
Yeah, that "cover" argument doesn't make any sense to me either. The logic of it has never been explained. If there is a "mystery child" that hangs out with Ramona a lot, you'd see it. If we haven't seen it, what's the point of a "cover"?

omg, thank you for this! So much truth here. Why the disbelief of the BT story or the J/A idea is automatically combined with the old "you can't stand the idea of it" stuff is so ridiculous.
I can't see Jake as the kind of man who would have a child and deny or hide it, ever. That is outrageous to me. I don't know if he's a passionate guy or not, but he does appear to be passionate about his work. A lot of times that zest for life carries over into other things too. ;) There's a lot of degrees in the middle between passion and frigidity.
I see Mumford and Sons train tour as very passionate, someone who has passion for living every moment. He could take Atti and any children with him. All of this I'm an adult now so I have to be miserable is BS.
Just because someone has children, it doesn't automatically mean they are great human beings. Some of the most selfish, ill-equipped-to raise-children people in the world have them, and for all the wrong reasons (hello, therapy!). Parenthood isn't for everyone, and shouldn't be.
He could take Atti and any children with him.
And hide them in some hotel? What would be the point?
That is the point, there aren't any to hide.
I see :)
I really think that if there were a child, and especially if there were more than one, we'd have heard something by now. Most people can't keep something like that quiet for long - Ricky, Sandra Bullock, etc. whether out of joy of being a parent or because it's just impossible.
Acting is the kind of profession that you have to be passionate about, because there is too much uncertainty about it.

Maybe BT takes lessons from Papa Austin and has learned to walk at least 20 feet behind them at all times on the street, to sit 10 rows behind if they go to the movies, and five tables away if they're in McDonalds getting a Happy Meal. Oh,and if they're in the park playing, never play in the sandbox together, and never make eye contact!
Why the disbelief of the BT story or the J/A idea is automatically combined with the old "you can't stand the idea of it" stuff is so ridiculous.
Ditto for everyone who combines the old "you can't stand the idea of Austin with Sophia or Jake with any woman" argument directed at people who believe in J&A and BT.
It works both ways.
If there is a "mystery child" that hangs out with Ramona a lot, you'd see it. If we haven't seen it, what's the point of a "cover"?
How often do you see pictures of Ramona? When was the last time Jake was seen or papped with Ramona and Maggie while in NYC? It rarely happens.
Maggie lives in a brownstone in Brooklyn, which means she has her own backyard.
Paps don't hang out in Brooklyn either.
Forgot, wanted to wave hello to the troll at 1:02.
Also wanted to point out that there have been many discussions here regarding the evidence for a BT, it doesn't just come from Ted. That latest? Naomi had one of those slings people use to carry babies hanging from her shoulder in the Mother's Day photos.
LOL Destiny, you live in a cosmopolitan city so you have seen those bags. You know that's not a papoose. Talk about reaching!
It works both ways.
It doesn't. You are playing stupid again. We can say and explain for the 1.000.000th time that we are TBs and know that Jake and Austin are gay, as May 11, 2011 9:02 AM did few hours ago, but you will continue to pretend that only JiS trolls don't believe in BT and J&A still together.
Destiny, you will ignore this post too and continue to treat as like idiots, pretend you have no idea what we are talking about because that is the only way to protect insane theories about BT family.

Maggie has friends and family. I'm sure she would never hide a kid in her house, she's a mother and seems like a sane person.
Naomi had one of those slings people use to carry babies hanging from her shoulder in the Mother's Day photos.
Oh my dear god in heaven you can't be serious!?! That's a hobo sling bag. They're everywhere.
Naomi had one of those slings people use to carry babies hanging from her shoulder in the Mother's Day photos.
So there was a baby locked in a car while Jake and Naomi were out? Or baby with a nanny? But in that case Naomi wouldn't need that thing. And why would Naomi and Jake take a baby to a place with paparazzi? Makes no sense.
If they truly wanted to hide a child/baby from the paps, wouldn't Naomi have ditched the baby sling and not take the chance on being photographed with it? I tend to think it would come in handy at the Farmer's Market myself, although I do agree there's the possibility of a child. BT ought to be around Ramona's age now?

Blogger outage approaching 24 hours. Six hours since "any minute now" promise.....
26 minutes ago
Blogger was down
We’re very sorry that you’ve been unable to publish to Blogger for the past 20.5 hours. We’re nearly back to normal — you can publish again, and in the coming hours posts and comments that were temporarily removed should be restored. Thank you for your patience while we fix this situation. We use Blogger for our own blogs, so we’ve also felt your pain.
Here’s what happened: during scheduled maintenance work Wednesday night, we experienced some data corruption that impacted Blogger’s behavior. Since then, bloggers and readers may have experienced a variety of anomalies including intermittent outages, disappearing posts, and arriving at unintended blogs or error pages. A small subset of Blogger users (we estimate 0.16%) may have encountered additional problems specific to their accounts. Yesterday we returned Blogger to a pre-maintenance state and placed the service in read-only mode while we worked on restoring all content: that’s why you haven’t been able to publish. We rolled back to a version of Blogger as of Wednesday May 11th, so your posts since then were temporarily removed. Those are the posts that we’re in the progress of restoring.

Thanks for the info, Jackie!
Which prominent TV personality is about to come out with the help of public relations guru Howard Bragman, who has helped dozens of celebs announce their sexuality? The media blitz will begin next week. (Page Six)
If this is Anderson Cooper, then Howard Bragman should know that the only acceptable official "coming out" announcement must include a parade down 8th avenue, dozens of shirtless man angels, a hundred baby silver foxes with rhinestone unicorn horns on their heads and rainbows in metallic tones spelling his name out in the sky (contact heaven and they will know what to do).
If it's someone like Ryan Gaycrest or Richard Simmons (HA!) then a regular "Yup, I'm Gay, In Case You Give a Shit" cover of People will do. It's a classic.

Last November, during radio interview with Ricky Martin, Ryan Seacrest denied being gay - "don't expect my coming out party, I'm not gay". I was very surprised to hear that.

Jake may have starred in The Good Girl but, not to be outdone, Peter Sarsgaard is to feature in Very Good Girls. And what's more, Peter's mother in law Naomi Foner is not only the script writer, she is also set to direct. Deadline reports that the film is currently being shopped in Cannes. It will star Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen as the girls in question and the cast also includes Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek.
May 10 - Out In LA
IHJ gallery
Dakota Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, Peter Sarsgaard, Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek will star in Very Good Girls, a film that will be financed by Ealing Metro International and Prescience. They will shop the film here at Cannes. The film will be directed by Naomi Foner, who wrote the script. The film follows two teenage girls through a summer spent in New York City. After they graduate high school, each becomes determined to lose her virginity, and things get complicated when they fall for the same charismatic street artist.
The girls will be played by Fanning, who’s been working on the conclusion of the Twilight Saga films, and Olsen, who made a splash at Sundance as the star of Martha Marcy May Marlene. Gale Anne Hurd and Hawk Koch produce, and production starts in September. CAA put together the funding and is repping North American rights with Ealing Metro.

Cool cast!
Maggie and Jake should do cameos.

Hooray! This sounds reall good and fun; something I think Naomi will be great with.
No way it is Cooper or Seacrest. Too much to lose. Probably somebody else on Glee whose career won't be effected. Big names won't give it up. No balls even though they are zillionaires.
The use of the word "personality" makes it sound like it's not an actor.
If it is Richard Simmons I will puke.
Nate Berkus interviewed Richard Simmons once including a visit to his home. For one who dresses so outlandishly his home was tastefully decorated, Beautiful even. Off topic but I could not help myself.
Richard Simmons is out :)
The film will be directed by Naomi Foner, who wrote the script.
Damn, she won't have time to take care of Jake's kids!

Why the disbelief of the BT story or the J/A idea is automatically combined with the old "you can't stand the idea of it" stuff is so ridiculous.
Ditto for everyone who combines the old "you can't stand the idea of Austin with Sophia or Jake with any woman" argument directed at people who believe in J&A and BT. It works both ways.
Destiny,
your playing stupid and spinning is beyond pathetic. We are talking about TB's who don't belive in BTs and you ignore it and pretend such people and their comments don't exist.

Nonsense!
Jake was just waiting green light to return to LA.
Friday, May 13, 2011
Dear Abby: I recently learned that my husband of 35 years is gay. I never suspected and I am stunned. I have loved him since we met. I still do. I have never been interested in anyone else. We have three children and eight grandchildren who all adore him.
I learned his secret from an email he left on the computer screen. It took a few days, but I confronted him and he told me everything. He has been with men since before our marriage. He assured me he has never done anything that could have caused me to get a disease. I went for an examination and I’m fine.
I’m lost about what my next step should be. I’m in my late 50s. Starting over isn’t something I ever considered. I’m seeing a therapist who suggested it might be simpler to consider myself a widow. I have no interest in having sex with my husband again, but being apart from him terrifies me. I feel like I’m in prison. Have you any suggestions?

Where do you get this stuff? You totally made that up and you know it. The lives you create for these guys are right out of some cheesy spy novel.
Uh.
Jake Gyllenhaal stepped out in Beverly Hills earlier today to pick up some sushi for lunch and a nice can of Coke…
Nice.
One cool thing about Jake Gyllenhaal is that he doesn’t have to dress super slutty to be “sexually attractive”…
I mean, here we see him in a classic pair of jeans, a worn t-shirt, some Ray-Ban aviators, with a shaved head and he still looks like someone that I’d literally swerve my car off of a four lane highway to drug, then kidnap…
And, at the end of the day, isn’t that what ‘personal style’ is all about…
Yes it is, people…
The End

Where do you get this stuff? You totally made that up and you know it.
Prairiegirl totally believes that. Her "green light" comments were lost in Blogger outage, but she claims there are people who tell Jake when he can go home because, for example, Jake can't be in LA when Austin and Sophia are doing Lakers game photo op.

Oh, yeah, I get she and others totally believe it, but, ffs, it doesn't even make sense. Last year Jake went to a gym with Austin and Sophia and got papped on purpose. So there's no reason that he can't be in LA when Austin and Sophia are at a Laker's game. Looks like someone is trying to have it both ways: The fact that he's not "allowed" to be in the same city with Austin and Sophia proves that they are together. But when he's pictured with Austin and Sophia they all went orgasmic because that supposedly was proof that they are together. If you're going to make up theories, at least pick one and stick with it, lol.
Oh, yeah, I get she and others totally believe it, but, ffs, it doesn't even make sense.
OMG's BT and J&A theories don't make any sense for years, but they will deny any logic and reason to support their fiction.

If not, it's very good photoshop.
Hell yeah, that's Jake. That's one hot picture!
And that was not me at 11:29.
12:57, you think that could be a photoshop? It didn't strike me that way. Suppose it could be. That would be a real downer, lol.
Hell yeah, that's Jake.
Jake's picture from where? Can't imagine Jake posing like that during movie promotion.
Her "green light" comments were lost in Blogger outage
Mine along with everyone else's. And I didn't make a dent in the number of comments made that 1 1/2 days. Why? Because I was working my a** off due to the super being on vacation.
These are the same people commenting over & over slamming OMG'ers. For one thing the repeated useage of "ffs" and "playing stupid", not to mention the one who keeps leaving out his/her verbs. You may use Anonymous but it really doesn't matter. You're still recognizable with your method of writing and word usage.
AHA! So you're finally admitting that there is more than one person who disagrees with your flimsy "proof"! We all can't be "Jack" you know.
Prairiegirl,
OMGs love talking without saying anything and pretending they didn't read comments, just like you are doing it right now.
Coul you please explain your "green light" theory - who are those people who tell Jake when he can be with his "husband and kids"?
That pic is photoshopped, I went to TMZ.com because it has their tag on it and i couldn't find it in their photo gallery, new or archived.
The person that did this should have at least used a current pic of him.
Why am I not surprised that PG thinks it's real, LOL!
Oh Jack, calm the heck down. Wipe that sweat off your brow while you're at it.
I don't have to explain squat until I see a decent theory on just why exactly why Jake went to NYC and wandered around with his hobo sack?
And please don't tell me then that you're buying the Jake jumping on the Mumford Train on a whim with no clothes on his back? Oh wait! So you're buying that he wore the same pants and underwear throughout the entire trip?
LOLLLL! They are playing you just where they want you.
Oh Jack, calm the heck down.
Oh prairiegirl, UV looks like a rocket scientist compared to you.
I don't have to explain squat until I see a decent theory on just why exactly why Jake went to NYC and wandered around with his hobo sack?
You have no explanation because your theories are insane.
Jake has family and friends in NYC, but only someone like you would pretend that doesn't mean a thing. And it looks like Jake wanted to spend some more time with Marcus: Jake Gyllenhaal, Marcus Mumford and Carey Mulligan dancing to DJ Questlove‘s set in between their turns bowling at Brooklyn Bowl in New York.
I don't have to explain squat until I see a decent theory on just why exactly why Jake went to NYC and wandered around with his hobo sack?
What the heck are you talking about? You seem to be confused. You are the one with theories - not anyone else. There doesn't need to be a "theory" as to why Jake spends time in NYC. It's not unusual, strange, out of character and doesn't need some contrived explanation. Again, your head is so deep in your J/A Family Tile scenario you can't see the forest for the trees. And it's beyond silly to keep calling everyone who points out the discrepancies in your posts "Jack."
Do you think no one notices that you're unable respond when someone points out that your theories are contradictory? You just throw the name "Jack" out there, lol.
And please don't tell me then that you're buying the Jake jumping on the Mumford Train on a whim with no clothes on his back? Oh wait! So you're buying that he wore the same pants and underwear throughout the entire trip? LOLLLL! They are playing you just where they want you.
Sorry PG, we know that you hate the fact Jake went to Marcus instead to Austin, but posting crap like that is really pathetic.
So Jake went on that entire trip just so he could hang with Marcus Mumford. Oh wait, and Carey too. On a whim. No clothes on his back, just hopped on that train.
So why didn't he start at Cockroachella? Jake's been to that festival before and that was right in his back yard but we had no sightings of Jake there.
BTW, could you put up the tweet link of Jake at Brooklyn Bowl with Marcus and Carey? Do we have pics?
12:57 can you post the picture of Jake in underwear?
It's not working for me.
I just have to see that picture>
we know that you hate the fact Jake went to Marcus instead to Austin, but posting crap like that is really pathetic.
It's Prairie Girl to you.
I have no ill will about Marcus. It's obvious that Jake loves that group and we all know that he is OC on things. So he's very into Mumford & Sons - who isn't? They're a very trendy group right now. There is nothing going on between Jack and Marcus, although I will say the fact that Marcus has been set up with Carey Mulligan does make me wonder if he too isn't gay.
You're not going to get me to blow so go ahead and keep wasting energy.
Jake and Austin are still together and yeah, the two swirled their juices and pop! out came some little Gyllennichols.
14:34, you've got to see that picture. It's beyond hot. I would dare say it's coronary inducing.
Oh prairiegirl, UV looks like a rocket scientist compared to you.
LOL, man and I'm leaving on that one.
You just go right on ahead and hang with the Babblers and Cullen posters. Wow, a UV fan. That right there tells me where your head is at.
And I will gladly separate myself from this and stand on my own island, you bet. Anything rather than to be lumped or compared to that set.
12:57 can you post the picture of Jake in underwear?

Playing stupid as usual.
No one here is UV fan.
Your delusional comments and calling anyone a troll is what makes you worse than UV.
^^ calling everyone a troll
Jake and Austin are still together
Yes PG, that's why Jake prefers being with Marcus when he could be celebrating Austin's birthday.
So why didn't he start at Cockroachella?
What is it with you and these stupid names? Why are you turning Coachella into "Cockroachella"? Is there something inherently bad about a music festival that thousands of people attend? It's not just celebs that attend, you know. You keep throwing nonsensical questions back instead of admitting your "theories" are full of holes.
Wow, a UV fan.
I'm not 2:18PM, but if you read that post as being admiring of UV, I don't know what to say. That says so much right there, lol.
the two swirled their juices and pop! out came some little Gyllennichols.
Please stop embarrassing yourself. You do know that that is biologically impossible, right? Does someone need to explain human reproduction to you? Sperm from one male + egg = baby, I don't care how much "swirling" you do, lol, a child can only have one bio dad.

leaked picture of Jake Gyllenhaal
Is there more to come?
TMZ is asking more money for Jake's gay orgy photos, Jake will pay, we won't see the rest of the photos.
LOL what are you talking about? That is so obviously photoshopped.
I don't even think that picture is "hot" or sexy or whatever. A guy in briefs and socks always seems goofy looking.
Check out ONTD, no photoshopped comments.
I don't even think that picture is "hot" or sexy or whatever.
I agree, Jake looks silly.
Have any of you ever seen Jake's naked torso? He has freckles and beauty marks all over it. Someone "leaked" a photo of Jake in his briefs but photoshopped all his distinguishable marks out, but left his face in? LOL
You have to admit the pose is funny. If it's real it won't help fighting those gay rumors that Jake's PR doesn't like.
Have any of you ever seen Jake's naked torso?
Take a look at the picture, you can see only Jake's back.
Take a look again. IRL Jake has freckles/beauty marks on his left bicep/tricep and his lower ribcage and freckles across the top of his back. See none in that pic.
You have to admit the pose is funny.
Not funny, not sexy, not silly enough to be amusing. Why would anyone pose like that? To show off his ass?
Jake has freckles/beauty marks on his left bicep/tricep and his lower ribcage and freckles across the top of his back. See none in that pic.
Picture is not big enough / clear enough to see small freckles/beauty marks.

Why would anyone pose like that? To show off his ass?
I think it's a yoga position, but I agree he looks ridiculous and not at all sexy, especially with those socks. lol.
Why is Jake in underwear with his friend(s) around? Why is someone taking his photos? Those photos aren't meant to be shared.
This pic is photoshopped!
That is the worst photoshop ever. The head doesn't match the size of the rest of the body. How can people be so gullible.
Jake has a big head :)
I agree.
Besides, Jake's body is way more muscular and fit than that guy, just compare the two to the stills from Love and Other Drugs.
This reminds me of the time that corny photoshopped pic of "Jake" on a bed was all over the net when LAOD was coming out. I couldn't believe how many people thought that was real.
hmmm. PG just posted this on OMG and it's not regarding the Jake post which are 2 naked shots of jake covering his jewels from LAOD.The only tighty whitey pics she could be talking about are the photoshopped pic that she made that she posted on twitter. She hates jake's new look, too butch for her so she punished jake, LOL!
Also the pose in the fake pic is a yoga pose and SK has a gnome in a yoga pose in the post.
Also the anon. here yakking about ONTD and more pics to come is M from OMG.
prairiegirl said...
Tighty Whitey Jake is the Jake that first caught my eye several years ago. Not the bouncer lugging his gym bag around. That picture totally unravels this myth of "stud" Jake.
Isn't TWJ beautiful? He's simply beautiful and actually, those socks kind of say it all.
7:31 PM - what are you talking about?!? What's next, you'll say that someone from OMG faked 120 ONTD comments?
The comments aren't fake but the pic is and the fangirls on ONTD are too lazy to actually look at it.
Picture could be fake and it could be real, no easy way to be sure.
The pic they used is a screencap from LAOD.
Only a few Jake looks gay comments on ONTD, the rest want Jake to fuck them and that he looks hot, not the response the fangirl who did it wass looking for.
Perhaps next time they can photoshop Jake's head on the body of Britney spears.
8:01 PM - how delusional can you get???
Why on earth would someone photoshop Jake's face on some dude in his underwear posing in the hall that looks like it was taken outside a hotel room and tag it TMZ?
That's hotel room - Jake visiting someone from M&S?

Why on earth would someone photoshop Jake's face on some dude in his underwear posing in the hall that looks like it was taken outside a hotel room and tag it TMZ?
Well somebody put out a another photoshop pic of Jake in black underwear when LaOD came out. That pic was proved to be fake. I'm not saying it is fake, just saying it's been done to him before.
That's hotel room - Jake visiting someone from M&S?
Nah I don't think so... Jake had a shaved head when he was on the train tour... not the case here.
Ha? You forgot all those times Jake was with M&S before the tour?
Well, if it's not photoshopped (it looks odd to me), it's going to be really easy for Jake to figure out who leaked the picture.
Not to worry, it's fake so Jake and his team will ignore it and it will disappear like the fake LAOD pic did.
Trolly hates this picture because Jake would pose in underware like that only to his gay friends.
it's going to be really easy for Jake to figure out who leaked the picture
DUH!!!
