Dany decided to close down Waiting for Toothy.
Thanks for the ride Dany, it’s been fun. Good luck!

Waiting for Toothy came about as a venting of sorts. I wanted a "safe" place to discuss the possibility that Jake Gyllenhaal may not be completely straight and may be or- at one point- was dating actor Austin Nichols. The idea came to me after a fellow IMDb poster created a Jake blog. In the beginning, I didn't actually want a Jake blog per se but more of a collective blog of Toothy Tile referrences and ambiguos quotes by Jake. However, such is life, the blog evolved into an all out Jake Gyllenhaal (and Austin Nichols) blog. Which turned out to not be a bad thing.

It is my feeling that endeavors borne of anger often will die in anger. Perhaps this is true. But I am not angry today - the day I say goodbye to you all. Yes, Waiting for Toothy started out of anger, but it is not ending in anger – at least not completely. This has been a ride for me. Bitter. Sweet. Sad. Happy. There are so many adjectives that describe my experience manning Waiting for Toothy. Name any, and I can probably relate. What I am feeling today is sadness and relief. Waiting for Toothy has died today, and I am mourning. If I had to assign WFT a pronoun, I would call it a he. He was beautiful, kind, caring, smart, sexy, and socially aware. He was also a bit too sensitive, eager, over-ambitious by taking on things out of his control (such as others’ thoughts of him), maybe even a little naïve.
But he stood for something, even if in the end it was perceived futile. Even as he was dying, he tried. He would say to me, “Give it another go, girl. Don’t give up just yet.” The hope of a dying man. I didn’t have it in my heart to tell him things were not looking good, so I kept trying to please him, pretending it was still fun. But the dying know when you’re comforting them, giving them sunshine in their darkness. In January, he finally said, “I am suffering.” We were teary, because we both knew in a short time I’d have to pull the plug. I am letting him go today. Tonight, we mourn.

Why make a movie if you don't have something to say? What are you doing it for?
Are you doing it because you want to make a lot of money?

Jake Gyllenhaal
That's why he wanted to play Spiderman. Because playing Spidey would have something important to say!
And I strongly suspect he enjoys the millions he earns after every movie he makes. No?
I wonder if we'll ever hear that Jake spent some time with the girls (Michelle and Matilda).
If the relationship with Reese is real, maybe she doesn't want Jake to spend time with little and big M. Because big M is a beautiful, single woman after all.
Why is everybody presuming that Jake is a total wuss?
"I wonder if we'll ever hear that Jake spent some time with the girls (Michelle and Matilda)."
We won't.

He gives off the vibe!
^ Agreed
Come on boys and girls, I'm perfect action hero material!

Yes! Here's one example:
Go web.
Fly. Up, up, and away web!
Shazam! Go! Go! Go web go!
Tally ho!
Will the Prince of Persia need a sidekick? I know I would be perfect as Jake's sidekick!
"I wonder if we'll ever hear that Jake spent some time with the girls (Michelle and Matilda)."
What makes you think Michelle and Matilda would want to spend anytime with Jake? He has had no role in Matilda's life so far. They have plenty of real friends to look out for them, the don't need PR whores like Reeke around them.
10:42, I agree. Glad they spent time with Mark Ruffalo and his family. I met him when he was appearing on Broadway two years ago in "Awake and Sing." He's a really good guy.
Is Jake going to do this Prince of Persia film? LMAO!
"Come on boys and girls, I'm perfect action hero material!"
Like hell you are. Which card are you gonna play gay or straight? I hope Disney won't sign on a dishonest fucker like JG.
I'm all man. All man you hear!
Prince of Persia?
WOW!
