What If G.I. Joe Were Gay?

G.I. Joe is like watching fireworks with a blindfold on: it's deafening and you feel under attack. The story makes no sense — why does the Eiffel Tower topple over after being covered in sparkling slime? And worst of all: Sienna Miller and Channing Tatum, a charismatic guy whom The New York Times once compared to Marlon Brando, have the chemistry of two ice cubes. As my mind wandered, I started to imagine ways for the director to have reinvented the franchise for the 21st century. What if the G in G.I. Joe didn't just stand for "government"? What if it also stood for "gay"?

To many G.I. Joe fans, who grew up collecting the action figures, this might be blasphemy. Who cares? The best summer action movies — The Bourne Identity, The Dark Knight — always come with tortured heroes who carry around deep secrets. Imagine the dramatic possibilities! For starters, we could ditch Sienna Miller, which would be a big improvement right from the start. Duke's (Tatum) new love interest would be a male soldier. The movie would even strike a note of social relevance, given that our troops still adhere to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (i.e., Duke couldn't blab about his love life to any of his friends).

Hollywood likes to cast gay characters in supporting roles, as background scenery, but they still don't anchor movies that often. You can understand the cold feet: the movie business is about selling tickets to teenage boys, and even Brüno tanked. This week, there was a storm of protest online when Robert Downey Jr. suggested his onscreen Sherlock Holmes — scheduled to hit theater screens on Christmas — might have had a gay fling with Watson (Jude Law). Gawker described the "full blown gay panic" from conservative film critic Michael Medved. "Who is going to watch Downey Jr. and Law make out?" he asked. "I don't think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don't want to see it."

Medved's off base — the Sherlock Holmes screenplay doesn't even feature a male kiss, and action heroes have been a little gay since the beginning of the genre. Look at Superman's revealing red tights. Or Batman's "friendship" with Robin. James Bond is such a good dresser, he might as well be gay (at one point, Rupert Everett even wanted to star as a gay James Bond). So maybe it's just a matter of time before we see our first openly gay action hero. At 2 a.m., I'd wasted enough of my time on G.I. Joe. But before I fled, I wanted to check in on an elderly woman who had come to see the movie alone. She looked shellshocked in the lobby, but it turned out that she was only crying tears of joy. Apparently, she couldn't wait for the sequel.

I started to back away, but it was so late that I didn't think it would hurt if I sprang my idea on her. What if, in the next movie, G.I. Joe were gay? Would she still buy a ticket? Her face lit up. "Absolutely!" she said. "Just because you're gay doesn't mean you're not powerful."

Thanks, 15:12. :-)

I try not to invade your all's convos but I just wanted to point out that not all of us is sold on this BT idea. One day I'm all over it, the next I'm hemming and hawing, lol.

I think it would be a lovely idea under totally different circumstances. This business with photo op'ing with Reese's kids will always rankle me.

And I blame Reese for some of it but Jake also has the ability to say no and put his foot down. And he doesn't. So in that regard, he continues to disappoints me.

Although in the yogurt pics, he couldn't be walking hardly any further ahead. How different from the Martha V and the EJ concert pics. These people are just puzzling.

Jake Gyllenhaal came through my checkout at Whole Foods. I thought I was going to vomit in my own hand. So, I made the dude who was bagging for me take the order by saying "I gotta go."

I've only every seen two movies he's been in. It's not like I am a giant fan or something.

Of course it occured to me that the photo opp was between doing other things, that is why I think Austin was probably in the car with him. No need for Austin to tag along just for a Reeking. Maybe Jake was running late and maybe that is why they all look so pissed.

And Jake could have been driving.

Umm I disagree. The "stain" is the same color of the other random "stains" on the lower front part all over his shirt, which makes me suspect they aren't stains but shadows. The kind of fuzzy shadows you get with an overcast sky. It was 100F degrees and normally would be clear but there were numerous massive fires going on at that time and the sky was weird. Thick and grey but orange-yellowish, with all the smoke and ash.

But you could be right.

Anyway screw the shirt LOL. No one else sees something bulging or pointing out of his crotch area? It looks like something is ready to burst. Or maybe it's my imagination. *sigh*

Here's probable proof that pap agencies play with dates. X17 says Reese was at Whole Foods in Westwood on
Wednesday. IIRC she's been in Philly last couple days.

The bruise/injury on her arm X17 talks about. Makes me wonder. Whatever it's from, it makes Jake look bad to the "Reese and Jake are a real couple" general public. I almost wonder too if she's not exploiting it by the way she's lifting her arm to show it, the same way she made sure to take her sunglasses off a few months ago so her black eye could be seen. She damn well knows that when a pap or gossip sees shit like that they're going to mention it in their column and give vague insinuations. Considering how Jake has been papped in the last 9 months as having a temper and being impatient, Reese being seen with bruises and black eyes doesn't fare too well with his image. IMO she knows this and will use it to her advantage. Not as a real issue she would talk about but as a read-between-the-lines thing to gain public sympathy. Reese always has to be the poor victim/strong woman/winner. However and whenever Reeke ends, Jake will not look good.

Btw every time I see her in an ugly outfit I think it can't get any worse but it does. This one has got to be the worst one yet. My gawd. Why is she wearing a knit cap on her head in 85/90 degree weather? She's also starting to look so emaciated like she's starving herself or purging or worse (the other end).

Only problem with it being a prescription is that Rx's aren't that large in size and they aren't on that thick and stiff type of paper. What Jake's holding in his hand isn't moving as he's walking, and it's pretty thick that you can't see anything written on the other side. Not that you could, just saying that Rx's are on flimsy paper. As for Schedule 2 Rx's (aka "Triplicates") those are on longer, blue shaded paper. They used to be on white paper but IIRC with a yellow copy underneath. But I doubt he'd be carrying around a Sched 2 Rx in public open for the paps to see. LOL. A sonogram, sure - easy to get all excited about it, first thing is to make that important call, want to look at it while you're talking about it and describing the feeling, and forget that oops, you're outside the building. He put it in his pocket asap.

About the yogurt cars (lol). IMO it's 2 different cars.

Also consider the yogurt cups Jake is carrying. One in each hand and 2 in a bag. One in his hand is for him, the other for someone else, i.e. immediately for someone else. Otherwise it would have gone in the bag. Even if both cups were for him, why not put it all in a larger cup? Also his past history shows he really doesn't eat that much, when have we seen him carrying or eating two containers of anything.

Do you really think Babblers post here, except for this weird imdb Jake freak, Jack/Jeff? I doubt anyone who posts here is a fan of either Reeke or Reese. People have just different opinions about Reeke, but I doubt anyone here likes them.

Blind Vice: Topher Hairy-Tuchus Gets Caught in Bed!

We're just crazy for debauchery here at Blind Vice central! On top of our fab 'n' fierce Blind Vice Superstars gallery, we've got another Blind first today: a Vice candidate appearing two weeks in a row!

Now, last week's inaugural Blind Vice about Topher Hairy-Tuchus brought all kinds of hilarious reactions, my personal fave being a comment from hmmm (could you get a little more original with your moniker, bitch?) who stated: "Sorry but this sounds made up..Ted printed an email the other day that complained how boring the straight Blind Vices are and he needs more gay ones, all of a sudden all of these gay Blind Vices happen to be appearing."

Are you for real, "hmmm"? A.T. is usually all about the closeted gay dudes, and besides, not only do we never make this naughty stuff up (ever) we've since heard back about Topher's earlier life, back when he was married.

Turns out he likes to take chances, just like he did with that anonymous Internet dude he tried to have sex with through a sheet. So when Hairy-Tuchus had a female spouse, he had the nerve to...

Bring a guy back to his house and get down to it on the bedroom he shared with his wife! Too bad they don't put in anything about protecting the sanctity of the marriage bed in those vows, huh? And, as soon as hot Hairy and his hunky minuteman were about to complete the manly act, guess who walks in on him?

Yep, the missus. To say she was pissed is to say I'm hot for Robsten. But it also explains a few things:

If anybody's caught on recently why Hairy's fake relationships with various starlets these days is so upsetting his ex, this is most likely one of chief reasons why. He can prance out ersatz honeys for camera, but not her? Yep, apparently it's an utter impossibility for Topher to be under-the-radar cool like Crotch Uh-Lastic or even the recently whipped Toothy Tile. He can't keep the fact that he likes dude somewhat discreet (as long as he's choosing to stay in the closet), he just has to—as usual—take chances and parade all kinds of risk-taking measures for many to see.

Gambling guy, this one is, for sure.

Oh, and another thing: THT's dangerous man-activities are not only well known in many professional circles, these antics are now ripping through the hallways of Hairy-Tuchus' agency with a force he'd be smart to try and cool down.

But how boring would that be?

Jake Gyllenhaal
Jakey's Mr. All American Boy—the (seemingly) perfect sweetheart on his arm, totally jacked up guns and dimples that could kill. But as the saying goes, if something's too good to be true, it totally isn't.

Reese Witherspoon
Crafty Reese is all southern accent and blonde girlie charm, but deep down inside, you know this petite babe who originally wrangled rough stud Ryan Phillippe has what it takes to get what she wants and fool the rest.

There's really a possibility they spend time with each other even when they don't arrange ops.

Here's my take on the yogurt scenario: Reese called Jake and said that after she picks the kids up from their schools that she was taking them out for yogurt to celebrate the first day/week of school, and would he want to join them if he's going to be in the area? She was probably already planning on having a pap there for the "good mother" photo op but even better if the bf is there too. IMO she isn't telling the kids or Jake a pap is going to be there. Why ruin the spontaneity?

(Adjective )informally used to describe something that is not quite right.

high on some kind of upper, coke, speed, ecstacy, etc. Having used a large quantity of speed, cocaine, or other amphetamine.

I think Jake thought Reeke would become the next Brangelina, and instead it has turned him into a laughing stock. He signed up for this, and I'm betting they have all kinds of provisions in that contract about how often they're seen together, papped, etc.

I think the Reeking we've had since he came back from filiming PoP in particular has just made him look worse and worse, and maybe he's finally beginning to realize it. Now even when he's alone nobody cares anymore--he got what, 25 comments on JJ for his last pictures, while the Sophin post was at 125 comments when I last looked at it.

Even with Jake she behaved like a drugged, drunk punk. I think it got worse after Jake dumped her. But she looks better recently, so maybe she's on the right path now?

Why are you so desperately trying to explain Jake's "who gives a shit about the beard" behaviour? The only reason Jake was there is to do a photo op.

Jake is sometimes good at pretending, sometimes not - closeted actors are only human.

Even Brangelina are a laughing stock, let alone Reeke.

At least Pitt, even though he's a pretty mediocre actor, is in really cool movies. Inglorious Bastards was "tha bomb". Tarantino rocks.

You really think Brangelina are laughing stocks like Reeke? People may hate the way they are attention whores, but a lot of that is genuine interest, not manufactured like Reeke. And the relationship is real, so you don't get people dumping on them for that. Plus Brad isn't nearly as whipped as Jake.

You can't be serious about "why ruin the spontaneity" and "Jake isn't informed about Reeke photo ops" arguments.
Opinions are fine, but there is such thing as common sense.

the recently whipped Toothy Tile


Does Ted mean:

1) Jake whipped since Reeke started
2) Jake whipped recently, like within last few months


And also is Ted saying:

1) Jake is whipped now
2) Jake is no longer whipped

^^ I know that probably sounds weird lol but "recently whipped" could mean "newly whipped" or "formerly whipped" IMO.

I understand it as "newly whipped": Jake whipped recently (last few monts) and he is whipped now. It fits with Ted thinking he'll sell out and marry the beard.

Reese runs her own PR show. You honestly believe every photo op she does is for Jake's sake? That it's agreed upon and consensual? For the big ones, sure. But IMO they know each other and do a few things together and when they do, the bitch doesn't hesitate to turn it into a photo op behind his back. I'm sure she claims knowing nothing about why that damn pesky pap got there. Btw how did that pap get there? I don't recall self-serve 33 cents an ounce bargain Twist Yogurt in Santa Monica ever being a celeb hotspot or a pap magnet. Must be on the same list as the pig farm.

Opinions are fine, but there is such thing as common sense.

Your common sense, right?!

I do think Reeke shows up to do things together without paps so that we get those twitters and sightings, to show oh how real they are. So it is possible that Reese calls the paps on occassion without alerting Jake.

My thoughts exactly. Hence annoyed Jake who doesn't dig overexposure and Reese, the ditz, is too stupid to realize that overexposure ain't good.

Reeke are arranging paparazzi photo shoots and use paparazzi hot spots from day 1.
There was never a reason for photo ops "behind his back" and not even a moron would ever believe Reese's "I have no idea how pap got there".

Reeke PR called Flynet, like they did so many times before.

^^Sometimes papz show up without the celeb calling them, it could be people who work where the celeb happens to be. Not all actors that are papped call them! So, indeed Reese can claim that she didn't call them this time around.

Maggie pulls more out of her ass than you think, especially when it comes to the paps.

I think the paps may have been a problem for awhile right after BBM, when he was "hot", plus the rumors about him so they may've been looking to see who he was with. But anymore the paps are pretty much called, or only catch Jake at places where they hang, like that medical building in BH.

And yes, people do sometimes calls the paps when celebs show up at restaurants. But no pap is going to dash to a yogurt shop, people are usually in and out of places like that in a few minutes.

Reeke arranged the paps, no doubt about it.

Just a quick two cents on Brangelina. If they are a laughingstock, Time magazine must not know it; Forbes must not know it; Vanity Fair must not know it; Harry Weinstein must not know it since he centered the marketing campaign for Inglorius Basterds around Pitt and the Academy must not know it since Brad and Angie were recently nominated for Oscars.

Oh, and the people of New Orleans and the UN must not know it either.

I don't see how anyone could try to compare the credentials or influence of Brad/Angie to Reese/Jake. I don't even think Reese and Jake thought they would become the new Brangelina. Brad and Angie have the work and the deeds to back up the hype.

I think Jake's behavior in some of the Reeking exhibits real passive/agressive behavior. Rather than doing something concerete to change his life, he goes along with it and shows his anger in a different way.

Catherine from CSI said...

The full set of Jake, Reese and the kids pics from last week. It looks like they were playing dodge the paps in this set.

The pics are posted out of sequence, but you can see where they are parked when they arrive and when they leave the car is parked somewhere else from looking at the background.

Someone either parked their car for them while they were in the store (valet parking at twist?)Or Jake ran ahead and met them at another spot in the area. Reese has her keys out and the kids are getting in the car. Jake I assume has a key as well and slid over so Reese could drive, it's her car.

I think it was their attempt to make sure there wasn't too many shots of them togehter in the same frame.

Cute pics but I wonder if the value was diminished because of the scenerio.
