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."

Converting POP to 3D? With Jake's luck the movie will be delayed another year.

Jake is not going to come out before POP is released, that's a guarantee. Unless he is outed involuntarily.

Reese always has a big photo event right before a movie is released or some other thing is happening. So dragging Jake all over NY just before the perfume release is right on schedule.

Maggie and Peter have lived in Brooklyn for well over a year and you almost never, ever hear about them or see pap pics of them. Suddenly, Reeke comes to NYC and Brooklyn and we get tweets of Reeke and Maggie out to dinner, then spending the day together at brunch, shopping, farmers markets and whatever else. After 3 years of Reeke, never a pic of them with Maggie and suddenly Maggie and Reese are best friends out food shopping together? Sounds a little odd to me. The entire group must be exhausted from their non stop day of running around the Village and then Brooklyn. Being that high profile is Reeke's M.O. not Maggie's. If Maggie was so willing to do this, I agree with the others that Reeke has something planned. Tabloid spread for sure but also something more. This is the first time that I heard that actually placed Maggie and Reese together were they were seen by the public. PR mag plants like the one about Reese at Maggie's bridal shower is bullshit as far as I'm concerned. But, looks like Maggie drank the Kool Aid. The last stand (or so I thought) against the bearding has fallen. I really do think the rag spread with the happy couple family outing weekend will be accompanied with the engagement. Jake is turning out to be a bigger idiot than I thought. POP bombing big time will be Karma paying him back.

Anonymous said...

Good point 10:50. Maggie and Peter manage to live quietly until Reese shows up, then she runs everyone around like they are her staff. Amazing that she can get so many to do her bidding. Still, I don't see a marriage, or even an engagement in the cards. She does not want to be seen as a 2 time loser, dumped by another man. Nor can she stay married to a gay man the rest of her life.

Anonymous said...

10:50 ITA. IMO that's what Ted was referring to when he said "the recently whipped Toothy". Jake has let them whip him so hard he has buckled under and rolled over. Jake Yellowbelly. Wasn't there also something else that Ted said about Toothy doing whatever it takes for BT? Yep this is it. I do agree that parents need to put their children as the top priority but not if it means selling out. In the long run the parent will resent the child and the kid will grow up believing the world revolves around them at the expense of everyone else's respect, including their parents who they will probably ignore.

Leading a dishonest life, hiding a child, being married for convenience, being married to a PR famewhoring controlling shrew, making time for the real significant other, maintaining a false public image.. all will take a toil. Drugs, depression and alcohol are always at the doorstep, waiting for the slightest crack in the door to let them in. Jake marrying the beard is a sure-fire recipe for death, whether it be a painfully slow breakdown eating away at his heart or fast like a literal bullet to the brain.

In a way I agree. However, who else would want her for a genuine relationship? No one's exactly fighting to go out with her now. IMO she's a hateful domineering person and 99% of HW knows it. As for anyone else in the general population, they figure it out soon enough.

Same here. What's odd about all the tweets today was how they suddenly dropped off. Not that I think they were fake, I just think the photo op was over and they left abruptly. It's like they were on a scheduled itinerary: record store, buy ice cream, go to farmers market then leave asap. It also sounded like they were in a large group. I wouldn't be fazed if PR happened to be part of that group.

Anonymous said...

Jake isn't doing this for Baby Tile, he's doing it because having a baby makes it more likely in most of HW's eyes that he'd come out, thus blowing his chance for that $7 million PoP paycheck. Poor Baby Tile, if he or she exists, is going to be a prisoner until he or she is 18 and old enough to fly the coop. No family outings, jealous rages over Jake being seeing with his "family" Deacon and Ava. I do think they'll marry, Reese won't have to worry about a gay husband dumping her for a younger, hotter woman.

Dear Ted:
I've been reading your blolum since Toothy was a virgin, but I've never asked a Q before now. So, to make up for it I have three: 1. You have said that Toothy has a beard, so does she know she is a beard? 2. Has she ever been a beard for another guy before? 3. Do you think Toothy will marry this beard? Thanks for the bitching!
—Jelpoohbear


Dear Genie Ted:
Yes, Toothy's beard knows what she is. And yes, she's familiar with men who play for both teams. And yes, I could see Toothy selling out and marrying the beard. For Baby Tile's sake.

UPDATE - Despite this news being confirmed at the Disney expo, we just got an email from Disney claiming that PRINCE OF PERSIA will NOT be in 3D. We're working to get to the bottom of this so consider this story developing.... While wandering the floor of Disney's D23 Expo with some reporter buddies of mine, we came across a poster showing Disney Digital 3D's roster. And on that roster? PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME. On-site representatives confirmed that the film will indeed be released in 3D, though it was not shot that way. Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton in all three dimensions. Fancy. Also on the poster was RAPUNZEL, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, CARS 2, NEWT, KING OF THE ELVES, TOY STORY 3 and BEAR AND THE BOW. So, I'm dying to know...are you sick to death of 3D? Did you play the game? And, most importantly, do you wonder why the hell they cast Jake Gyllenhaal? Yeah, me too.

^^I know what he meant, but it also could imply that TT plays for both teams. It's not really clear.

I don't need Ted to tell me about Jake. My instinct tells me he's gay or at least bi anyway and that the thing with Reese is more about convenience and image now than anything else. I hope there won't be a marriage, but a break up. Then Jake can move on to new people and start to choose better jobs again.

Anonymous said...

PoP - What a stupid career decision. An actor who has October Sky, DD, TGG, BBM, Zodiac in his fimography. As I've mentioned before he's a solid actor who can be really good if the role fits. He just needs to choose carefully. But ever since the Reeke business his taste went downhill. Rendition, PoP... Even though I like Anne H. and want to see them on screen again, he could have chosen a project that isn't so similar to Nailed. We'll see how this'll turn out.

What's interesting about the JGF story is that he (JGF) looked away first and how he said that when he met Jake later with a group, Jake was aloof. The line he says at the end of that paragraph about Jake having his reasons to act differently in front of people is something that I can totally see.

IMO JGF knew a bit more than he said. Like the "hang out" was maybe put another way by his friend. I also think the "I'll call him" part was that he asked his friend to tell Jake that he gave JGF his number and that he'll call him. But he didn't get the number (because he wasn't interested) so he was never going to call. Does that make sense? It's like if I said to you, "I'm not interested in your friend but just tell her that you gave me her number and I'll call her if I get the chance." It lets everyone off the hook.

Gabriel Macht Wants Anne Hathaway, But Jake Gyllenhaal Gets Her!

I honestly wonder if Gabriel Macht's career will ever recover from his having played The Spirit. He had nothing to do with creating the disaster that Frank Miller's film was, of course, but it was his face, hidden behind that domino mask, the moviegoers were forced to see in every scene as they observed the overall nonsense of that film. I don't endorse violence, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone punched him.

But Macht is still acting, naturally, and maybe the role in Ed Zwick's Love And Other Drugs will do him more favors. According to THR Macht will play the hotshot guy who starts off the movie dating Anne Hathaway's character, but later get ousted by the affections of Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays a Viagra salesman. Oliver Platt has also signed on to play Gyllenhaal's boss, and Hank Azaria will play one of his clients.

The romantic comedy set in the world of major pharmaceutical companies sounds like a neat idea, and a change of pace for Zwick, who's known for focusing on earnest historical dramas like Defiance. I'll be glad to see Hathaway and Gyllenhaal together again, in presumably a happier romance than they had in Brokeback Mountain, but I'll really be rooting for Macht to prove himself for real this time.

Gabriel Macht plays a hotshot Prozac salesman who's invovled romantically with Maggie (Hathaway), a free-spirited woman with Parkinson's disease who enters into a relationship with charming Viagra salesman Jamie (Gyllenhaal).

Hank Azaria plays an unscrupulous doctor and client of Jamie's, and Oliver Platt plays his boss, a beleaguered pharmaceutical rep desperate to boost Jamie's sales.

Hello gentle Americans. I just want to make a quick shout out to Kanye West-“Thank the fucking God there are still some crazy ass mother fuckers in the music industry today with big fucking mouths who snort coke and fuck ho’s!” Quite the run on sentence I know, but oh so necessary. Taylor Swift is lovely, twatty, but lovely. Did she deserve the award? Perhaps not. But she is blond, beautiful and sings country and aint that what America’s made of? Big, blond, beautiful people who wear a size zero and pal around with Miley fucking Cyrus. Thank god Kanye had the courage, or perhaps the drugs he was on gave him the courage, but at least he stood up for what he believed in: Beyonce’s big old black booty! And frankly that is what America is really made of: Big asses, long extensions and fried foods. That is the America I would much rather stand behind. So I thank you Kanye and your insane urge to tell it like it is!

It'll backfire because ALL the press is STILL going to talk about BBM (even if it's a good film--which it might be--very good director and good cast). But the two stars are toiling in the shadow of BBM (Anne only because she's paired with Jake).

I dunno about LAOD being a PR-fueled vehicle just so Jake can retract his fictional gay character with Anne's and look straight. Sounds pretty farfetched, LOL.

OTOH doing another matchup of 2 leads looks desperate because it's like no one else wants to play opposite Jake. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were in 3 movies together playing a couple but the movies were years and years apart. Could be Anne was thought of because Jake hardly has any chemistry with actresses. IMO he did with Anne, which is rare for him.

After Elton - The 50 Best Gay Movies said...

1. Brokeback Mountain (2005)

It seems that our readers’ reaction to Ang Lee’s 2005 masterpiece is a love that will never grow old; once again, you chose this as the best gay movie of all time (and as with last year, it was by a large margin).

Tragically, actor Heath Ledger is dead now, and in the movie Lureen says of one character, “He always said he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was … Knowing Jack, it was probably some pretend place, where bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.”

Brokeback Mountain a pretend place? On the contrary, it was the controversy that surrounded the movie’s release that turned out to be the illusion: that ridiculous six-month orgy of conservative outrage and mean-spirited jokes from late-night comedians – not to mention an Oscar snub that was clearly motivated by Hollywood’s fears that the town might be perceived as being too “liberal” as well as plain old-fashioned homophobia.

Four years after the movie’s release, we now know that Brokeback Mountain, both the mountain and the movie, was something very real. Did it change Hollywood? Did it change America?

I don’t know, and I don’t really care. But I know for a fact it changed me, profoundly and dramatically. And for most of you who voted in our movie poll, I suspect it changed you too.

It wasn't even a whole weekend, and most of the 24 hours sounds like it was spent with other people.

I honestly do not know how even the most dyed in the wool Babblers can't see that there isn't anything there. It's baffling.

2:25, both! After I posted I realized the twitterer's location (from her profile) wasn't on it. It doesn't help if there's a twitter sighting and no location, lol.

Jake Gyllenhaal, shopping hand in hand with Reese Witherspoon, hit Madison, a boutique in Brentwood, Calif. The two were flirty while they browsed the clothes, looking for items for Witherspoon. The actress paid special attention to the ALC collection, but she left without buying anything.

^^It was probably one of their many shopping trips and the "flirty" part was probably not really the case.

With Reese in Philly that is a made up "sighting" to promote some boutique.

Anonymous said...

That isn't People magazine fiction. It's real ads, for Madison, ALC and the town of Brentwood!

Okay so maybe the Reeke was fiction. What's funny is how they say she didn't buy anything so when no one ever sees her wearing ALC crap, they covered their ass.

"The two were flirty"

Reese was flirty with the saleswoman to see if she could get their stuff for free and Jake was groping the stockboy in the backroom.

old Jake and Austin gossip said...

Remember that gay guy who blogged about meeting Austin at a party in 2006

Stubborn TB said:

The blogger unfortunately removed his whole blog, so there's no link anymore.

But here's what it said:

"I was introduced to a guy on sunday night. I've seen him before and sorta
developed a little crush on him over the past few months, so this was technically
more of a set-up, really. He was sweet, but shy, hardly making any eye contact and
keeping his comments to a minimum. Also, he wasn't as receptive as i'd hoped he
would be, and we never did exchange numbers before the night ended, despite
trading looks and glances and smirks back and forth over the course of an evening.
But, then again, i suppose it doesn't help when you're guest starring on one of the
more popular television shows right now and being interrogated by three
drunk gay men at one of more photographed golden globes pre-parties in beverly
hills. Still, watching him leave with another guy was like dangling the proverbial carrot that I'll never get to eat.
Damn actors.

Why some of you get all excited with Jake&Anne hanging out?

IF he ditches the Chin and starts "dating" Ms.Hathaway he'll still be bearding.

Is the beard thing what you really hate or is it the fact he might LOVE Reese(which i very much doubt even if he is 100% straight)

I just don't understand all this thrill for seeing Anne along w/Jake...

Anonymous said...

"Someone in the audience yelled out to Jerry Bruckheimer, after talking about Prince of Persia either “And you’re also gay!” or “Get off the stage!”."

This is incredible but not surprising. Well, now we know why Jake's PR team has all but given up on the straight male fanboy demographic for PoP. Even after a carefully coordinated pr assault and almost two years of bearding, the fanboys still don't believe that Jake is straight. He needs to spend more time doing sports and hanging out with the homies, and less time following his creepy, pathologically self-promoting, semi-vindictive, physically unattractive, relatively unpopular beard and her rug rats all over the country.

But he won't do any of this because he's pathologically afraid of prolonged straight all-male company. This isn't surprising because many urban gay men feel the exact same way. Jake knows that straight men are culturally wired for homophobia. All that you have to do is scratch the surface, and it all comes out.

I guess that poor Jake has been traumatized enough. That's why he needs his 'rest', as his ever-indulgent big sister, Maggie, just said in an interview. Between his disintegrating family, money issues, career concerns, unfinished movie scripts, loneliness, transience and of course constant sexual sublimation because he's bearding, he doesn't need any more trauma. His therapist has enough on his/her plate.

If he weren't such a manipulative, pathetic putz, I'd feel sorry for him, but he is, so I don't.

Forget about the bearding. Anne Hathaway is sane and Reese is a sociopath. Isn't that an improvement?

Anonymous said...

Anne has a boyfriend, there will be no bearding.

I don't know about others, but I'm glad to hear about Jake hanging out with people, it's so refreshing after reeking.

Anonymous said...

5:39 PM - If Jake plays for both teams, I would't mind him hooking up with Anne. I think she's a much better choice than Reese. I feel ever since he is dating/bearding with Reese, his career is jinxed.

If he's gay as a goose, he needs a new beard. If he plays for both teams and prefers to date women for the public to think he's only straight, he'd be better off dating another lady.

Anonymous said...

If you people think Anne Hathaway is not co-dependent of PR and a major famewhore as much as Chin is, you are all deluded and deserve to be spitted in an eye

At least she seems fun and has no baggage. A plus.

I agree. They were likely having a meeting to discuss LAOD. It's funny/sad how excited some get over one little twitter, like Jake and Anne are bffs now because of it. But ITA, Anne would make a much better beard than the chin too bad it ain't gonna happen.

6:00, I'm not talking about love to a criminal but the calculated manner used by her manager to clean her image. From lack of solidarity with that bumb to the old trick of "laughinng about herself in a candid way" later.

I doubt they were literally watching the game, it was probably on when the guy spotted them so that’s what he tweeted. The most likely scenarios is that Jake and Anne were discussing the movie details over a meal.

If you scroll down on the Getty site you can remind yourselves of the delight that was Reeke at Cochnella (or whatever the thing was called). I'd forgotten quite how unpleasant they looked at that thing (and can just imagine what Reese smelt like after a day in that heat).

Funny how Jake looks so much better seated next to a cute looking man, maybe he was treating the manny to a day at the tennis (with Austin's prior approval I'm sure).

Thanks 6:51. So when the Chin was walking on his left side, he not only had a cup of coffee in his left hand he was also carrying a hat in the same hand too? Jakey came prepared to fend off the Death Grip. LOL

Maybe Jake's thinking what's sauce for the goose (ie Robert Buckley) is sauce for the gander. Could just be a nice straight friend for Jake.

Or... god forbid... maybe it's reese's creepy sex pest brother and we really are getting some beard family bonding going on...yuck!

Btw IMO if they were really bf/gf they would do what every bf does: have the gf carry his crap in her bag. Reese was carrying a huge ass purse but Jake had to carry his hat with him?
