August 4, 2010 - Proposition 8 ruled unconstitutional
From the ruling: "Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same sex couples."

Would Jake kick him out of the bed?
Would Jake kick him out of the bed?
I don't think so. ;)
But Ryan's not into guys. :(
Everyone is into me!
Is there indication - pictures, sightings, Twitter - that Gosling and Willaims are more than colleagues or is it just the ususal gossip rumour and wishful thinking?
Because I have not seen anything that places them (yes some official PR) together during the last months.
Nice picture of Ryan G. I think he's beautiful in his own way, like Jake, Heath, JGL, Tom Hardy, Senor Bale, etc. They all have something uniquely beautiful about them. That video of clip Tom was great. TY :)
And Leo, Lukas, etc. etc. The most important thing is their talent as great actors.

Dear Ted:
Question, if one of your B.V. stars did something huge—say for example, a gay B.V. star married his beard—would you immediately write about that under their guises or wait a little while? Or would you just not write about it at all because it would give too much away?
—JTP
Dear Tie the Knot:
If I wrote about it immediately, don't you think it'd be a bit obvious? But if a bearding turns into a not-so-holy matrimony then of course I'm going to dish the deets. Just look at Hardland Fuss.
Dear Ted:
Do you think Danneel Harris is pregnant?
—X
Dear Baby Ackles:
No. And I don't think she wants to be anytime soon either.
Dear Ted:
Matthew Bomer has been around for a few years in Chuck and Traveler, but I am absolutely in love with him on White Collar. I am a straight (bi-curious) guy, but I can't help looking at him and drool a little. Any juicy gossip on him?
—Bastiaan
Dear Poofing for Bomer:
No goss that hasn't already been circulating forever. Way sexy though, not a bad choice to get you all bi-curiously hot and bothered for. I'm sure you're not the first guy who's gotten a bomer over him. I mean, well, you know what I mean.
Dear Ted:
I've been wondering, what have Jackie Bouffant and his beard been up to lately? Is she ready to set him free and find a real man?
—Bonnie
Dear Bouff-Be-Gone:
Please, Miss Bouffant will definitely not be the one to end this relaysh. Not in a million, billion years, Bonn. Half the reason this babe is even snapped in pap pictures is because of her arm candy BF.
Agreed - and I like that most of them are also creative in other ways than just making films.
Heath started directing, JGL has already directed some little films, music (Gosling and JGL), stage work (Tom Hardy) and JGL has a collaborative art and media production company.
They are kind of a new generation of young actors.

Yeah, I loved Heath's involvement with the Masses:
Heath Ledger's Final Days Among the Masses
^^^
Birthed in a big loft in midtown Manhattan by one Los Angeleno, Amato, and one New Yorker, Jon Ramos, in 2002, the collective was transformed in the fall of 2006, when the members set up shop in Hollywood, and Amato’s longtime friend, Heath Ledger, started channeling some of his creative energy, and eventually, money, into the company. It was at the Masses that Ledger and his peers converged around a notion; taught each other how to shoot, light and edit; plotted out music and record labels; and sought to develop a little engine of creativity.
^^^
When I relocated to Los Angeles last year, I moved into Amato’s apartment, a vast and elegant second-story space in a white Spanish-style Hancock Park duplex, which he was sharing with his then-boyfriend, artist Andrew Campbell. The two had shared the place for years with actress Lisa Zane. She brought her brother Billy Zane into Amato’s orbit. And, after meeting a 17-year-old Heath Ledger on the set of the short-lived, Shaun Cassidy–created fantasy series called Roar, she lured the up-and-coming Australian actor to Hollywood and said he could live at the apartment on South Orange Drive with her, Campbell and Amato. It was the beginning, as they say, of several beautiful friendships.
^^^
Ledger got the part, the leading role in 10 Things I Hate About You, and quickly signed with CAA’s Steve Alexander and bought a new car (only to crash it soon thereafter).
“And then,” Amato laughs, “he came back and sat on the couch for two more years. He didn’t want to do any of the TV shows. They wanted him for Smallville. That’s when I was working on TheX Files, and he would come visit me in between his auditions. He was just about to leave town, when the idea to play Mel Gibson’s son in The Patriot came up. He got the part, and then the drums started rolling. The Vanity Fair cover, the billboards. That was a strange time. His image was plastered all over Hollywood. And there he was on our couch.”
^^^
As they hang little graphic illustrations of monsters by Masses designer and illustrator Daniel Auber, the knowledge of Auber’s work with director Terry Gilliam, and how he met Ledger on the set of the 2005 film The Brothers Grimm, paint the joyful little mutants with extra weight.
“In the Masses, he wasn’t the boss,” Auber tells me later, back in L.A. “Like in the Renaissance, you have the people called mecenate. I think the translation is ‘patron [of the arts].’ It felt like that but in a really natural way. It was completely spontaneous — and so much fun. The Masses was a shelter from the bad side of Hollywood.”
^^^
Heath Ledger almost always moved through L.A. on a yellow Ducati, his head encased in a full-face helmet as he zipped between his home in the hills and his Hancock Park workspace with perfect anonymity. He could put on his mask, hop onto his motorcycle, zoom down Laurel Canyon Boulevard, then leave the bike in front of the Masses’ office and sneak inside without a single person catching a glimpse of his face.
Although he was living in Manhattan to be closer to his daughter, Matilda, he returned to L.A. once or twice monthly, and when he did, he was usually working at the Masses’ office. You’d know he was inside if the motorcycle was parked out front.
^^^
Ledger and Amato had begun editing Amato’s script for The Makings of You, a love story based in Brooklyn, which they believed would be Amato’s feature directorial debut. Ledger was also making plans to direct an adaptation of Walter Tevis’ coming-of-age chess novel, The Queen’s Gambit — a project he chose with daughter Matilda in mind. “It was all about Matilda and her future,” Amato says, “making smart things for intelligent young women.”
Amato adds, “I definitely think the Masses was probably the most positive, safest place in his life at the time.”
^^^
“I’m really annoyed at what I’ve seen in papers — that the darkness of the Joker character took over his personality. That is so ridiculously wrong,” says Auber, who was in London during The Dark Knight shoot, working with Ledger on the Modest Mouse video. “He was having a lot of fun. He was really enjoying it. He wasn’t dark at all. It was actually a real happy moment when I was in London [with him]. Matilda was there, Michelle was there. They were a happy family. He had a lot of free time for London and his friends — he would only shoot a few days a week. He really was not depressed by the character at all.”
^^TY! :)
My friend is in Marthas Vineyard & just ran into Matthew McCoughnahay and Jake Gillenthal (sp?) as they were jogging on the beach! Lucky!
He's traveling all summer back and forth. Well, he has the money and can afford it. Lucky him in this regard.
^^^ He's traveling all summer? What, with NO Austin. Why haven't we seen Austin in MV or he and Jake somewhere together this summer. If he can be seen with other stars like Mathew Mc., he can be seen with Austin. I want to see Jake and Austin together NOW! They are together aren't they?
Yeah, I loved Heath's involvement with the Masses:

Yes, but there is a technical problem - Jake and Austin are never in the same town at the same time.

That was a nice reading - thank you!

"The most valiant thing you can do as an artist is inspire someone else to be creative" - J. Gordon-Levitt
That was a very touching article. I think the members of the Masses had genuine love and respect for Heath.
Of course, the will never say that something wrong was going on with him. They pretend everything was great and normal, as if there were indeed problems,people would believe it was a fail on Heath's part.
But I understand they don't want to talk about the bad things, they were his friends,after all. It's just that it only makes it too obvious that their thoughts and memories of him are incomplete and biased.
It's nice that Heath was loved by his friend and colleagues, but maybe it would be better if they keep remembering him in private.
maybe it would be better if they keep remembering him in private
Nah.
It's nice that Heath was loved by his friend and colleagues, but maybe it would be better if they keep remembering him in private.
Or maybe you should skip the articles.
... because we wouldn't know this:

Bill McCuddy of Forbes.com (and Fox News entertainment guy for several years) wrote yesterday on his Facebook page that he'd seen a sneak of Ed Zwick's Love And Other Drugs. He described it as a "light romantic comedy about a girl" -- played by Anne Hathaway -- "with Parkinson's disease. Hathaway good [but] movie mediocre. (Bonus points for not doing a 'shaky prospects at box office' joke.)"
HE
^^LarryGopnik says ...
Been some screenings in New York the last few weeks, and I've heard almost universally that it's "okay
I guess most of us had a feeling that the movie ain't all that. Probably it was submitted to some festivals and was rejected. Hopefully Anne's performance can safe the day.

Yes, you can be private if you want.
Way sexy though, not a bad choice to get you all bi-curiously hot and bothered for. I'm sure you're not the first guy who's gotten a bomer over him. I mean, well, you know what I mean.
Cough.

Now Jake can enjoy the same anonymity.
I'm not surprised about LAoD. Remember the test screenings for Brothers--how people were having religious raptures over it because it was so good? Even Jeffrey Well's friend who saw LAoD at a test screening and raved about how good Anne was said the movie wasn't good--and that she was basically acting in a different from the others.
So my guess is that if ANYBODY gets an Oscar nod for the film it might be Anne. HOWEVER, because this year is unusually competitive for women, it might be way too tight for her to get a slot. Right now, Bening and Portman are locks. Also that gal from Winter's Bone, Mulligan from Never Let Me Go, Lesley Manville from Another Year, Robin Wright from The Conspirator (Redford film about only woman to be convicted for the assassination of Lincoln), Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole (I heard buzz this is her best role yet--and I know this script--I saw it on Broadway with Cynthia Nixon) and Helen Mirren of The Tempest.
I think Anne and Jake will get Golden Globe nods for their work but no way is Jake getting an Oscar nod over Colin Firth, James Franco, Ryan Gosling, Robert Duvall, Michael Douglas, etc.
BTW, The King's Speech which got a standing ovation in Venice, Telluride, etc (and will play in Toronto) is the first frontruner for the Oscars in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Firth--LOVE him), Best Supporting Actress (Helena Bonham Carter) and Best Supporting Actor (Geoffrey Rush) and it's opening Thanksgiving--like LAoD.
It's a real crowd pleaser and it has a very inspiring, happy ending (and it's based on real-life historical characters).
Damn.
Jake needs a good script asap. Let's now hope that Source Code will deliver.
I'm a fan, but I'm slowly losing hope re. Jake's movies.
Or he can try to give his all as actor (if he didn't already) and deliver a mind-blowing performance in one of his upcoming films. That'd be something. I think he has potential for that, right?
I genuinely liked a few of Jake's movies, like October Sky, The Good Girl, BBM, Zodiac and he gave very good performances in DD (the role fit him) and BBM. But he never knocked me out of my socks. I'm still waiting for that performance of his that'll blow my mind.
Most of us want Jake to get some attention for his acting in a great film. But from what's been written so far, it's just an okay movie. And that' ok. His career is not over. He's still young and will happen on a good script with a good director. It will probably be a film we least expect. Look at Leonardo. He's a great actor and has been past up many times. And some male and female stars act their asses off and are never acknowledged. Jake still has a chance.
^^^ Leo: nominated, but has not won any award
If the award season buzz is not good on the movie, then what will really matter is how many tickets it sells. Romcoms rarely get good reviews, so it comes down to whether the actors can draw them in.
Yes, let's hope that the ticket sales will be satisfying.
Anne Hathaway is liked by males and females. I think she can become a romcom draw like Julia Robers in her hey day.
Hathaway good [but] movie mediocre
Sucks for Anne. A good performance in a good movie is recognized, a good performance in a mediocre or bad movie is overlooked most of the time.
Hathaway good [but] movie mediocre

"Sucks for Anne."
Because someone said the movie is mediocre?
Lets wait and see - if people enjoy the film and it is successful at the BO, Jake will be fine.
There are way too many great performances by actresses this year for Anne to be in the running for a film like LAOD. Sucks for the Anne shippers I guess.
"The most valiant thing you can do as an artist is inspire someone else to be creative" - J. Gordon-Levitt
I love this guy. And I love that he's worked with just about everyone - Helen Mirren, Lee Daniels, etc. etc. He's a great actor. I haven't seen Mysterious Skin in its entirety yet, but the clips I have seen on YouTube are so emotionally raw and honest, I'm really shaken to the core. I don't know if it's JGL, Gregg Araki, or the adapation of the script, the book, or all of that, but it is just an amazing performance, by everyone else too. I bet JGL could have given even Heath a run for his money as far as talent goes. I'm amazed.
Jake just blew me away as Jack in BBM, and also in Moonlight Mile, and October Sky. So he has it too - it's just a matter of the right film. :)
I bet JGL could have given even Heath a run for his money as far as talent goes.
Nah.
JGL's performance in Mysterious Skin is as great as anything Heath did.
"JGL's performance in Mysterious Skin is as great as anything Heath did."
Yes, I agree. It would have been so great seeing those two creative guys working together......
BTW- The official poster of LAOD is out.
One commenter from Awards daily:
"I was at one of the test screenings and I actually had very little interest in seeing this if I had to pay for it. But let me tell you… the trailer doesn’t even begin to hint at how moving this film is. You’ve never seen Anne Hathaway like you will in this film. She’s been great before but never this brilliant."
I just hope Jake will be able to hold his own.
JGL's performance in Mysterious Skin is as great as anything Heath did.
This based on the on YouTube clips you've seen? LOL.
Sorry, nothing JGL has done touches Heath's work in BBM and TDK.
^^Two different people are discussing this.
the trailer doesn’t even begin to hint at how moving this film is
Well, that's rather unfortunate.
I said run for the money.
"Sorry, nothing JGL has done touches Heath's work in BBM and TDK."
Sorry, but it does - I have seen Mysterious Skin and IMO he is as good...
Heath of course was a tremendously talented actor, but it's nice to know that there are others as well.
Obviously they could not decide whether they should promote it as a romcom or an awards worthy film.
Money versus Oscar..:-))
This based on the on YouTube clips you've seen?
Several people are discussing this it appears, including those who have seen it in it's entirety. Try to keep up.
Sorry, but it does - I have seen Mysterious Skin and IMO he is as good...
I don't think so.
Blogger is eating my posts with click-able links. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
"I don't think so."
Then we agree to disagree.
Tom Harday is also one of those actors who is able to disappear in a character. His "Mad Max" will blow eveyone away.
Let me know when JGL gets an Oscar nomination, then we'll talk. You might be a fan therefore biased but the truth is he hasn't done anything really noteworthy yet. Fact.
Well you become a fan for a reason, and the reason is great performances.
JGL has done noteworthy films, just not Oscar nominated - yet. But he has been recognized.
Can't wait for Mad Max either.
Tom Hardy workout

You might be a fan therefore biased but the truth is he hasn't done anything really noteworthy yet. Fact.
Exactly. You would think this guy is the best thing since sliced bread the way some posters talk about him. Even Jake, who is only considered a good/mediocre actor here has an Oscar nod and a Bafta. JGL is pushing 30 and has nothing. LOL!
I'm hungry!
But he has been recognized.
Not at the level other actors his age who are consider less talented here have.
But he has been recognized.
Not at the level other actors his age who are considered less talented here have.
Well I only hope that it's not the last hurrah for Jakey.
Not at the level other actors his age who are considered less talented here have.
Time hasn't stopped, the last I looked. Give him time. He's the Indie darling right now, and good for him. I hope he always puts artistic integrity first, than an Oscar horse-race.
JGL is into action films now, that Oscar nomination will have to wait.
"Even Jake, who is only considered a good/mediocre actor here has an Oscar nod and a Bafta. JGL is pushing 30 and has nothing. LOL!"
Fact is also that Jake has done nothing noteworthy after his nomination/win.
You are only as good as your last movie....
We are discussing all kind of actors here, some of us enjoy JGL - so what?
Well I only hope that it's not the last hurrah for Jakey.
You wish. "Jakey" is still more accomplished as an actor than JGL anyway...
some of us enjoy JGL - so what?
And some of us can be objective about JGL, so what?
I wouldn't give Oscar too much credit - they were the ones who did not recognize BBM as Best Picture.
I wouldn't say that JBG is more accomplished than JGL, at all. Quite the contrary.
And some of us can be objective about JGL, so what?
Don't delude yourselves; some of you are rabid Jake fans for whom he can do no wrong. It's all subjective, dear.
Quite the contrary.
LMAO! Please name JGL's accomplishments as an actor.
"I hope he always puts artistic integrity first, than an Oscar horse-race."
He usually choses roles he is interested in, Oscar Worthy or not.
And he likes to work with people he is friend with, like Rian Johnson, his next director.
^^He's a lot like Heath in that way, although he's nothing like Heath in many ways, he's himself.
Inception has made neary $700 million at the Box Office, for one. And it's not done yet. Artistic integrity for another.
So sick of hearing about this unattractive midget here. How about starting your own "Waiting for JGL's first Oscar nomination" blog?
^^Good idea. He's beautiful, and you are narrow-minded about beauty. Plus, that's not important, his talent is and what he has to tell in a film.
I've only seen JGL in Inception and 500 Days Of Summer. He's adequate in both. He seems to be a nice and down to earth guy. Not a big fan, but I don't mind discussion about him on here.
:) OT, I have seen the actual poster for LaOD, and I like it better than what we first saw.
Form what I understand we are here to discuss everything and everyone - if you don´t like it, scroll further.
I made a post on the official poster of LAOD earlier - nobody responded.
Personally, I think Gosling is the best actor in his age group right now.
Inception has made neary $700 million at the Box Office, for one.
That's not JGL's doing. Chase Crawford could've played Arthur and Inception still would've been a hit. I said accomplishments as an actor, obviously you have nothing.
Put Jake down as an actor all you want, he's still got an Oscar nod at only 25. Not many actors have that, your precious JGL included.
He's beautiful
Maybe on the inside.
I made a post on the official poster of LAOD earlier - nobody responded.
Sorry, I may not have seen your post right away. :)
See, nobody is putting Jake down as an actor. Appreciating another actor's talent takes nothing away from your precious Jake. And I beg to differ that JGL didn't contribute to the success of Inception. That movie does have a lot going for it tho, cast, director, concept.
I hope he always puts artistic integrity first, than an Oscar horse-race.
Huh? You already forgot about JGL doing G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra?
The critics unanimously say he was the best thing about it.
I wouldn't say that JBG is more accomplished than JGL, at all. Quite the contrary.
Not on this planet, JGL is still an indie actor.
See, nobody is putting Jake down as an actor.
Are you new here?
The critics unanimously say he was the best thing about it.
About what? Bad movie and flop?
And I beg to differ that JGL didn't contribute to the success of Inception.
LOL, good one! Nolan and DiCaprio made the movie a success. Few people know who JGL is outside the internet.
There isn't an actor around today who doesn't have a role that is considered a flop of some sort. So what?
And I beg to differ that JGL didn't contribute to the success of Inception.
JGL fans really are delusional.
Nolan and DiCaprio made the movie a success.
Keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll believe it.
Anyway, who cares if he becomes the next George Clooney or not, or is ever nominated for anything. I enjoy him and his work, and his film choices, as well as many actors, Jake included. It's no reflection on Jake at all.
Keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll believe it.
I should be telling you that.
People here are always discussing gay rights - Joes production company, HitRECord.org, produced a video about California’s Prop. 8 trial called “They Can’t Turn the Lights Off.” earlier this year. It was shown at Sundance and won the Human Rights Campaign E-Hero Award.
Much more important than awards or Oscars.
There isn't an actor around today who doesn't have a role that is considered a flop of some sort. So what?
So please let's forget about "JGL always puts artistic integrity first".
Much more important than awards or Oscars.
I would be more impressed if JGL didn't talk about awful paparazzi who just want to sell bad gay gossip.
It was shown at Sundance and won the Human Rights Campaign E-Hero Award.
Wow. I didn't know that.
Maybe he was just calling out some opportunistic jerks, good for him.
I enjoy him and his work, and his film choices
Good, but don't try to pretend he did anything really noteworthy as an actor and then put him on the same level with actors whose accomplishments are clearly more impressive than his.
Maybe he was just calling out some opportunistic jerks, good for him.
Yes, good for him for trashing paparazzi, gay gossip is really terrible and would hurt his precious public image!
Accomplishments are in the eye of the beholder, and I'll put him on any level I see fit.
I don't think he had a problem with the gay gossip per se, it was the sense of entitlement these paps have. Paparazzi is Italian for mosquito, or pest, I believe, and it isn't just JGL who has a problem with being pestered by them. They admit as much that they didn't have "altruistic" motives in pursuing him, but wanting to line their own pocket with a good story. Just because one may have been a gay paparazzi doesn't make him a nice person or give him any extra credence. Being an asshole is the great equalizer in this world. :)
"Maybe he was just calling out some opportunistic jerks, good for him."
He turned his camera on paparazzi who followed him and a friend, and posted the video online. He called it “Pictures of Assholes."
I think it was a great reaction.
"Good, but don't try to pretend he did anything really noteworthy as an actor and then put him on the same level with actors whose accomplishments are clearly more impressive than his."
Again just your opinion and not more valid than mine.
Accomplishments are in the eye of the beholder, and I'll put him on any level I see fit.
Fine, then don't be surprised when others disagree with your delusions. To non-JGL fans (read unbiased people) he didn't do anything extraordinary yet.
I think it was a great reaction.
I do too! :) And when all was said and done, it was peaceable.
I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with my points of view. I call that a discussion.
Again just your opinion
No, that is a fact. I'm still waiting to read about JGL's accomplishments as an actor. Well?
I will say that over a month out, the theater I saw Inception in for the second time was packed, and not only did people enjoy Leo unanimously, they loved TH and JGL's roles.
They admit as much that they didn't have "altruistic" motives in pursuing him, but wanting to line their own pocket with a good story. Just because one may have been a gay paparazzi doesn't make him a nice person or give him any extra credence.
JGL is an actor, TV and movies celebrity, makes a lot of money. Paparazzi are doing their job, working for agencies, trying to make a living. I don't expect JGL to like paparazzi, I expect him not to be an arrogant asshole just because he can afford it, and to learn that gay gossip isn't so terrible.
JGL is into action films now
Jake does PoP and he is criticized and called a sellout, JGL does G.I. Joe and other action films and he is praised for his "artistic integrity". How hypocritical.
"Yes, good for him for trashing paparazzi, gay gossip is really terrible and would hurt his precious public image!"
You must be joking - Joe appeared as Eric’s gay buddy on a 1998 episode of That ’70s Show. He and Topher Grace shared the first gay kiss on North American prime-time TV. That caused a riot at that time and was a big deal.
He does not care much about the public image.
He turned his camera on paparazzi who followed him and a friend, and posted the video online. He called it “Pictures of Assholes."
I think it was a great reaction.
Of course, wonderful reaction! What a man! Everyone should do that and show us how hard it is to be a celebrity!
Well, I think he said that he usually does understand their position and accepts it as part of the territory, which is why I think maybe these guys went a little too far. C'mon, they aren't without their faults, and at least have written a chapter or two in the book of arrogant approaches. Gay gossip isn't so terrible, nowadays it's chic and even courted, but you have to admit the approach these people take is sometimes too aggressive.
He turned his camera on paparazzi who followed him and a friend, and posted the video online. He called it “Pictures of Assholes."
What a small minded bitch!
Well, I think he said that he usually does understand their position and accepts it as part of the territory, which is why I think maybe these guys went a little too far.
I've seen his video, paparazzi were OK, JGL is an asshole.
He does not care much about the public image.
Of course he doesn't. That's why he said Topher Grace is the worst kisser because, you know, he's a guy and OMG, kissing girls is so awesome (what 30 year old guy talks like that?)
Maybe Topher Graces isn't a good kisser?
(what 30 year old guy talks like that?)
An idiot.
"I don't expect JGL to like paparazzi, I expect him not to be an arrogant asshole just because he can afford it, and to learn that gay gossip isn't so terrible."
Sorry, but you seem to forget the reactions here when Jake was spitting on that paparazzi.....
Joes reaction had nothing to do with "gay gossip".
"Jake does PoP and he is criticized and called a sellout"
I never called him a sellout, I had hoped PoP would be successful - unlike many people here, you seem to forget very fast.
Joe had only a small role in GI Joe and the film was - I don´t understand why - seen as a BO success. Jake played the main role and PoP is seen as a flop.
Many other actors haven't done as much for gay rights, and in fact have done more to hinder them. We don't want to name names now, do we?
I hate to say it, but Inception has run circles around PoP at the box office, I'm sorry to say. But I'm glad for Inception.
I saw a preview screening and I don’t think Anne’s performance is oscar-worthy. She started to grate on me after a while but that might be because I’m not generally her biggest fan anyway. Jake’s comedic skills are impressive and he really suits this role. The film is predicable and some of the script is cringeworthy but on the whole it’s not bad. I hope the film does well but I don’t think it’s an award winner.

He and Topher Grace shared the first gay kiss on North American prime-time TV.
Poor Topher, you mean he had to kiss this mouth twice?
JGL
Ooops, I got it wrong, it was just one kiss.
"Jake’s comedic skills are impressive and he really suits this role"
If the film is successfull I could see perhaps a Golden Globe nomination for best Actor/comedy.
the trailer doesn’t even begin to hint at how moving this film is
Must be talking about the first trailer. I thought the second trailer did more than "hint" at moving.
The film is rated R and I think many guys want to watch it because they want to get a glimbse on Annies boobs....

Hey, Atti! What's shakin'? Where are you and Daddy hanging out these days?
I hope it does well, I'm planning to see it. It sounds like a good story, and I like Anne's character's description, and it will be interesting to see Jake playing this kind of role too.
His last films were so serious and it is good to see him in something more lighthearted.
This could really become a crowdpleaser.

JGL
Ewww!
His last films were so serious and it is good to see him in something more lighthearted.
I don't think it's entirely lighthearted though. Anne's character has Parkinsons and it sounds like there are some pretty serious themes - health care, prescription drugs, etc.
Sorry, but you seem to forget the reactions here when Jake was spitting on that paparazzi.....
Why are you playing stupid? People criticized Jake here for that incident and you know it. JGL should get special treatment because you like him?
Oh God no, we all know the paparazzi are sacrosanct. I wouldn't dream of such a thing!
Keep playing stupid.
Nolan and DiCaprio made the movie a success.
Keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll believe it."
You MUST be joking. If you think Nolan and DiCaprio aren't the reasons behind Inception's success you are SERIOUSLY delusional.
Of course they are a huge part of it, but you are the one who is delusional if you deny that people didn't notice and enjoy the entire cast. I know what I saw and heard as an audience member, people unanimously loved TH's and JGL's lines and scenes, and I don't think they were first-time viewers of Inception. So keep telling yourself that it wouldn't have been a success otherwise. Nolan chose his cast very wisely, and the movie is a masterpiece. Maybe Chris Nolan could have cast inanimate mannequins and it still would have been a hit, though, who knows.
I can't wait until the DVD comes out.
JGL and Tom Hardy DID NOT make Inception a hit. It would've been a success regardless who played their characters and said their lines (wrote by Nolan). Nolan and DiCaprio were the box office draw--Nolan because of the smash hit TDK and Leo because of Titanic and his other work, both have a large following. JGL and Tom Hardy are unknown actors to the average moviegoer, only their own fans bought a ticket for them.
People didn't went to see Inception because they wanted to watch TH or JGL. Movie is very good, but not a masterpiece.
^^You are right, but they were an added plus, I think, and a really pleasant surprise. They won't be that unknown anymore, that's for sure. :)

Not all actors are interchangeable like props, lol. Some make a role their own. Imagine Chace Crawford and Channing Tatum as the point man and the forger. Fail. Also, it's Nolan's writing but Hardy improvised the "darling" in the best line of the movie, making it immeasurably better. Personally, I think Hardy stole every scene he was in, and the chemistry between him and JGL has contributed to the film's popularity. No director, producer or casting agent in Hollywood thinks these two had nothing to do with Inception's success, even though it's a "Nolan and Leo" movie.
lol-skinny neck vs muscle neck
hello mr eames
"Inception" is a hit and both, JGL and Tom Hardy are now known to a wider audience. Both had great scenes and lines. Both characters were appreciated by the audience not only by women also the fanboys.
"They won't be that unknown anymore, that's for sure. :)" You bet!
Remember the "Big Badasses of the Summer" blog.....!

Every director, producer or casting agent in Hollywood knows that they didn't sell the movie, aren't the reason for good BO.
OT - Has anyone seen the video of Jake Shears and Adam Lambert making out?
Jake & Adam
LOL. Jonathan Ross thinks Tom stole the show from everyone except LEO.
@SpazzBunny Tom is awesome. Can't wait to see him in Mad Max. He stole Inception from everyone else..apart from leo I s'pose.

As stated earlier, the film while technically well made (Zwick is a professional director) is cliche ridden and predictable. By the end of the film I felt like we were getting a doctor’s lesson on Parkinson’s Disease.
The film COULD HAVE gone in a very interesting direction had it explored the difficulties of dating someone with a severe illness. It could have touched on some very sensitive issues regarding that topic in an intelligent non-Hollywood way that I think would have really had an impact on the viewers.
Instead the film opts for a feel-good, traditional Hollywood ending. The mainstream audience may enjoy that and as a result it may be a hit, but I personally thought it could have been so much more.

Yes, please!
There's a hot new couple in town! Jake Gyllenhaal isn't letting his split from Reese get the best of him, in fact, he already has another woman in his life.
Jake has been quietly dating Rachel Bilson, sources close to the couple tell Hollyscoop.
"They're trying to keep a low profile but they're definitely dating," a source close to the new couple tells Hollyscoop EXCLUSIVELY.
Both Jake and Rachel are notoriously private when it comes to their personal lives so they want to keep their new relationship under wraps for as long as they can.
Rachel recently split from her fiancé Hayden Christensen, but the details of the breakup remain vague. It certainly didn't take her long to get back in the dating game though. But when you're as adorable as Rachel, you don't stay single for too long.
What do you think of the new couple? Tell us your thoughts!
hollyscoop
^^I've never been really sure if Jake was gay, I tended to think he was bi. But like Reeke many of you convinced Jake is gay, if he really is dating Bilson, I'll be 100% convinced he is gay.
"Jake has been quietly dating Rachel Bilson, sources close to the couple tell Hollyscoop"
^^
This is gonna be fun! :D
Fun? Hollyscoop is 10 days late.

Of course they are and will - so you can continue to post fiction. lol
Whats with this Bilson nonsense - I thought the rumour died 10 days ago...
"It could have touched on some very sensitive issues regarding that topic in an intelligent non-Hollywood way that I think would have really had an impact on the viewers."
This is what I had hoped for too.
Quick get an email off to Ted.
Please don't bother Ted with tidbits, his hands are full, BTs are full of energy!
I think Rachel's a nice gal, nothing like Witherspoon. It's Jake's decision to beard and she probably will get more publicity with him. I hope JIG fans won't post nasty things about her 24/7 like with Reese. She, other than Reese, doesn't deserve it imo.
Huh? There will be no bearding with Rachel Bilson.
11:07 AM - you aren't JiG fan?
11:07 AM - you aren't JiG fan?
I am. But I won't participate in Rachel B. dissing, if she's bearding for J. that is.
Me neither. No dissing.
Yeah, why not?
Because it's not nice. ;)
Nice??? Who wants to be nice when you can be bitchy?
No dissing?! LOL wait til all the Rachel+Jake bullshit starts then it'll be Diss City.
Jakel
Rake
Gyllbill
Gyllbill sounds like gerbil or kill bill.
That would be the last nail in the coffin of Jakes integrity - nobody can be that dumb, not even his PR.

Think again!
idk, I think Jake and his people know that they're not going to win over the JiG crowd. They know that we know and we know that they know that we know,etc. So they want to concentrate on the fangirls and the public at large, a lot of whom don't know much, if anything, about Rachel Bilson and will just see that she is some pretty young thing and don't they make a gorgeous couple, blah, blah. Having said that, I admit that out of all the pretty young things out there, idk why you'd pick someone who just GOT DONE bearding - but if you look at posts at places like Lashers, some of the people there never heard of her so they certainly wouldn't know that either (plus those same folks don't believe there is such a thing as a beard so they would just dismiss it).
places like Lashers
Is that DC forum?
I don't think the beardng market is too wide.
A beard is like a baby sitter. The best ones are hard to find and you can't settle for nothing less than the best professional.
If Rachel is the most descent thing Jake can get right now, then I guess he'll have to go for it.
I choose the name "Rake",btw
"Rake" sounds good. I'm in. ;)
If Rachel is the most descent thing Jake can get right now, then I guess he'll have to go for it.
Have to? Why would Jake need to beard now?
He most likely won't come out anytime soon, wouldn't people be suspicious if he is publically single for years and years?
But he's not "single" for years and years.
I've watched both premiere videos of Natalie for Black Swan and Michelle Williams for Meek's Cutoff. Natalie took the time to sign autographs for fans, whereas Michelle didn't and fans booed. I'm usually not a Natalie fan, because of some really silly remarks and actions of her as of late, but that made me dilike her a bit less. :D
Is that DC forum?
Oh, sorry, yes, the "Jake's Eyelashes" thread at DC forum.
