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.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 2704 Newer› Newest»Hilarious that the troll who goes from site to site claiming Jake is straight accuses others of doing the same claiming Jake is gay. Get a clue. Jake is fooling no one.
Trolly refuses to use his brain! lol
Poor trolly! Years of his "Jake is straight" trolling and years of Jake's bearding for nothing.
We haven't seen Jake with Busy Phillips and her husband since.
Why would Jake's PR have a problem with Jake and Busy or her husband sightings and paparazzi photos?
Trolly should relax, I'm sure Jake will find another beard soon and continue to make a fool of himself in public.
LOL! Over on that DC thread, the old folk are getting their knickers knotted about WFT.
I'm sure a few of them are lurking/trolling here now. Welcome old timers! LOL!!
Good observation about Busy.
Whether Jake and Austin have any kind of relationship at this point in time is irrelevant to this discussion.
I wonder if the DC lurkers know about the site that UV and Fluorescentlamp set up Jake - the Straight Man
LOL, that cracks me up every time I see it.
Good observation about Busy.
One more time: why would anyone, including Jake's PR, care about Jake being seen hanging out with Busy or her husband?
"LOL, that cracks me up every time I see it."
It was about time to dust it off and trot it out again! Whoever took the original screenshot is a champ! What a classic!
One more time: why would anyone, including Jake's PR, care about Jake being seen hanging out with Busy or her husband?
The very fact that it stopped shows that they care.
Just like they cared about showing Jake with Austin, or with other men who aren't certifiably straight.
Just like Jake stopped being seen at Rufus Wainwright performances and started being seen at Mumford & Sons.
Just like they denied that story last year that Jake was at a God's Love We Deliver fundraiser hanging with men despite Page Six's insistence that he was seen there.
The very fact that it stopped shows that they care.
They are friends who live in the same city, they can spend tons of time together without paparazzi pictures or sightings.
Just like they cared about showing Jake with Austin...
That is my point - you can argue that PR doesn't want pictures of Jake hanging out with gay men, but there is no reason why PR would object to hanging out with a married couple who work in the industry.
Could someone please post the DC link where WDT is being discussed, I can't seem to find it.
PS: SK used FL's google account and made up that Jake is straight site, she also used her google account to post on OMG, she was busted. It was a glitch with google that she found because she has nothing else to do.
Someone who used to post there fessed up. They also said that when OMG forst started that she and others used DC and GB names to post on sites like JJ and she did and still sends Ted BS about Jake and Austin so he can post fake TT Bi.
He hasn't taken the bait in awhile but he did in thr past.
12:23: SK captured that screenshot and she is now over here posting her handy work and patting her self on the back.
FL would never do anything that lame and obvious but SK would. Notice how quick she found the site and screencapped it before she deleted it, she as in SK.
Yeah, it cracks you up peegee, you know SK did it.

Sorry 12:48 PM, you can lie and make shit all you want, but as we all can see, FL did it and was CAUGHT!
Trolly, stop projecting and lying.
I wonder if the "Sienna" on DC is the same one who used to post on OMG. She left OMG after telling them they were all obsessive stalkers, and that Ted is full of it. Jersey Tom was heartbroken :(
Obsessive stalkers?! What does she call WDW's Kate then? LOL
Kate is OK, Kate is selling heterosexual Jake!
Thank you 12:49 for that link; I'm still reading, LOL. I had no idea this thread was on there.
I love this comment by someone after everyone is reminded in a "scolding" way to steer away from discussion on people's sexuality. This is an excellent response.
'll speak for myself--
We are always hearing about straight celebrities and all their dating habits, marriages,
exploits, dirty laundry and whatever else you can think of. No one bats an eye. As a gay
person, I want to hear all about that, too, about the gay people I know. So, when someone
says why does it matter, it sounds like that person doesn't want to know about it from gay people
as though it should stay hidden or in the closet. It matters as much to me that gay people should
be able to be out and talk about their feelings as much as anyone else. I don't know if I explained
it the way I wanted to. If it truly did/does not matter we wouldn't be having these discussions
at all because then it truly wouldn't matter. The fact it gets talked about shows it does matter.
The fact that this forum has a rule about it must mean it matters to someone one way or another.
I hope it's okay I repost their comment if not I'll understand if it gets deleted.
But that is as good of a response as any I've ever seen.
LOL! There were several recent posts on DC talking about JiG, which have now been deleted. I thought UV must have been pulling her hair out.
Well, you guys probably are having/have had some new lurkers lately because a link was given to WFT2 on the thread followed with some opinions with regard to posters on WFT2.
That is classic stuff, that is. That's all I'll say for now.
You know actors who are gay in Hollywood don't live in a shell and if they have sex
at all, the person who had sex with them is at least one person who's going to know.
My actor friend Nicholas was sitting on his apartment stoop with his boyfriend one day
and noticed someone leaning up against the railing near his neighbor's door. He asked
if he was waiting for someone and he replied he was. NIcholas suddenly realized it was
Keanu Reeves. His neighbor came out and the neighbor and Keanu walked toward the
garage area. Nicholas rang that neighbor's bell and his roommate came to the door and
Nicholas asked the guy if that was Keanu who'd been there and the neighbor replied that
it was, that Keanu was dating his roommate.
I can relay dozens of things like this over the years that I've lived in Los Angeles and talked to
other gay men who work in the film industry and deal, work or play with celebrities or things I know
first hand. There's a whole host of things I could write about, but generally I don't,
because I get accused of being a liar, or making things up, or have ulterior motives in
smearing someone etc. I know someone who became good friends with MIchael Childers,
who was director John Schlesinger's partner. I mentioned something once in a thread on
this forum that John Schlesinger had said and a couple posters basically disbelieved it and
in essence called me, and John Schlesinger, a liar. So be it. Some people don't want to know
the truth. They want to believe what they want to believe. There is mostly no reason to be
lying about things like this when gay men get together and know one another and talk about
their lives. Shall I tell you about the guy I met at a Christmas Eve dinner who had had a relationship
with James Franco?
Shall I tell you about the guy I met at a Christmas Eve dinner who had had a relationship with James Franco?
Yes, please! :)
Woman used box cutter and pliers to circumcise three-month-old son at home
A mother is to go on trial for assault after allegedly using a box cutter and a pair of pliers to circumcise her three-month-old son.
She had watched YouTube videos on how to carry out the surgical procedure.
She was inspired to carry out the DIY operation at her home after reading the Bible.

I thought UV must have been pulling her hair out.
LOL. Yeah, I'm sure she doesn't know what to do first. Go see Source Code again, defend Jake against those nasty, bad JiG people, come here and troll, give one of her sanctimonious lectures to anyone who doesn't kiss her ass at DC forum, make out with her life-size Jakey poster, or try to find something new to post at Babblers so she can get her ass kissed there.
Seems like WFT is getting discussed at a few sites! This was in a thread on DL about Chinny's wedding
To all the assholes trying to make this another Jake is gay thread. You can scream, and yell, and bully, and get belligerent, and be as "emphatic" all you like. He's. Not. Gay. Saying it doesn't make it so.
So click your ruby slippers three times, and go back to your parallel universe. If this meme works for you there, fine, but it marginalizes you and makes you look more and more strange out here in the real world. WFT and OMG are your natural habitat.
Go ahead and call me names and accuse me of whatever. Like I give a shit. There is room for dissenting opinions and you can consider this mine.
WFT has been talked about on other sites from day one. DL, IHJ, IMDB, E, FCC, JJ, etc. Linked too, the first WFT did anyway along with OMG, used to see links all the time.
There is no diff between WTF and WFT 2 except that there are 2 diff women running it.
The site has the same posters: refugees from DC forum
Refugees. lol
That's probably not an exxageration after watching the moderator on there just now put a big ol' Squash-ola on any Jake's Sexuality discussion.
"Let's remember the title of this thread." Like a school teacher, everyone is told what they can discuss and what they can't. He put up his warning in big bold letters and said that some comments had been deleted that were about Jake's sexuality.
Well, it was an education anyway and worth the look. Nice to know us JIG believers are trashed and called Jakecentric. lol.
WHO THE FUCK ARE SIENNA, FL,KATE & TOM??? AND WHY DO I HAVE TO READ THE MUSINGS OF CERTAIN POSTERS WHO THINK THIS IS THEIR PERSONAL JOURNAL?
IT'S LIKE THIS BLOG IS HAVING CELEBRITIES ON THEIR OWN!
(CAPS KEY STUCKED,SORRY)
Lurk moar
SIENNA = female, straight, writes J/E slash, posted on OMG for some time, couldn't make up her mind about trashing Jake's showmance with the chin.
FL = female, babbler, UV's right hand, see GB blog.
KATE = female, pretends not to care about Jake's sexuality while supporting his showmances 100%, runs WetDarkAndWild blog
TOM = male, gay, posts on OMG and sometimes here.
People like UV who complain that talk about Jake being gay is what is ruining him can't see the forest for the trees. People make fun of actors who are widely known to be gay because of all their closeting antics, not because they're gay. They make fun of them because they don't respect that kind of behavior, not because they're gay.
People don't make make the kind of jokes about NPH, Ricky Martin, etc., that they make about people like Jake and Tom Cruise. Rather they make harmless jokes along the lines of poking fun at Ricky for not thinking people knew he was gay.
If Jake came out all of the nasty BBM would probably stop.
WHY DO I HAVE TO READ THE MUSINGS OF CERTAIN POSTERS WHO THINK THIS IS THEIR PERSONAL JOURNAL?
No one's holding a gun to your head and making you read them.
It's called scrolling. Got it?
That's probably not an exxageration after watching the moderator on there just now put a big ol' Squash-ola on any Jake's Sexuality discussion.
It's moderated on the whims of the mods and doesn't make any sense - discussion about "Jake's sexuality" has been going on for a few days and many pages now - and I can't tell the difference between what was deleted and what still remains. It's all "discussion about his sexuality." What they really should say is that any discussion about Jake being gay is forbidden. They discuss his supposed heterosexuality all the time.
Pregnant Natalie Portman Ditches Vegan Diet
ONTD
"I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant, just because I felt like I wanted that stuff. I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of stuff."
What they really should say is that any discussion about Jake being gay is forbidden.
DC moderators don't have the balls to acknowledge the obvious.
We are always hearing about straight celebrities and all their dating habits, marriages,
exploits, dirty laundry and whatever else you can think of. No one bats an eye. As a gay
person, I want to hear all about that, too, about the gay people I know. So, when someone
says why does it matter, it sounds like that person doesn't want to know about it from gay people
as though it should stay hidden or in the closet.
That is very true, homophobia is very much alive.
For example, comments about Ricky Martin - people like him, but many don't want to hear him talk about his boyfriend or being happy about being gay, they can't stand gays who act an feel equal and proud.
BBM/Jake/Heath dans post here and on OMG. That's why people refer to each other usiing their online names because everyone knows each other, even here on a anon site because even though it's anoan, it's he same people posting here over and over.
OMG/WFT/GB/WDW=DC forum, same crowd, same issues and childish fighting that started on DC and is brought on this site and others. Even those who have long left the BBM fandom still and could care less about Jake, who he fucks or his latest movie, it's all about schoolyard name calling that started on DC
Like a bunch of silly schoolgirls trying to appear cool but in reality are opposite.
Cullen should have pulled the plug on his site right have that money scandal where he allowed a mod to steal $$$$ from some fund that fans contributed to buy space in newspapers to thank Ang and Co for BBM.
The only reason the feds didn't act is because stupid as Cullen gave Pete access to the account.
Why would anyonre here still post or even lurk there???

To this very day I grieve:-)
Why would anyonre here still post or even lurk there???
No, I don't lurk on DC forum.
DC forum is constantly discussed here as well as the names of the posters there as if others here know who you are talking about and we do. You know why? Because the posters here are from DC forum.
And at times personal info about the DC posters are posted and discussed so at some point there must have been some type of friendship.
It's a small circle jerk of fandom and yes it's small compared to other fandoms.
When DC posters like Jackie,SK, WDW and UV decide to start a seperate site then all hell broke.
I don't know what names Jackie and SK used on DC but they definately were/are involved in that site.
You say you hate DC forum, but can't seem to stay away or stop talking about that shitty site.
I think the real problem is that the DC posters ages are middle-aged for the most part and aren't schooled in online rules like not posting the real names of posters on an open forum and if you are going to post on other sites with a point of view you need to stop using the same talking points, or cut and paste comments from one blog and post it on another.
Lazy, sloppy and stupid.
You say you hate DC forum
Who said that?
Cullen's ego and the stupidity of what's left of the online BBM fandom is the reason why DC forum is still around.
Also DC posters think they are being "naughty" posting here and on OMG because those mena mods won't let us talk about the ghey!!!
Get a clue, stop posting if it's so restrictive. And there are other BBM sites like the Ennis and Jack sites that are far more classy and mature.
Unless you like being told what to say and post, must be the Log cabin in a lot of the posters there, that was the reason why I stopped posting there.
I never even knew that thread was there until someone put up the link. I was curious so I took a gander. The only thread I ever look at is the Slash Discussion thread and that is only because I myself write.
I'll tell you one thing I observed while lurking, though. I saw several comments on there by people who were dissing those like myself who post on "those Jake blogs" that were very similar to trollish comments that I see on here and on OMG. Exact wording. Exact opinions. Very interesting to say the least.
^ That's an impressive comeback. Please dazzle us some more with your incredible cerebral capacity and witticisms. Attacking posters who are just sharing info is hardly clever or laudable. You probably didn't share your toys when you were younger either. That is, if anyone wanted to play with you at all with such a surly attitude.
how about dumber than a box of hair.
HEY!
lol.
Don't worry, hair. There are a lot of people who appreciate you very much. And when you're gone, you are incredibly missed.
((hair))
I never posted on DC. Years ago I used to look because people posted fun pictures, but haven't even lurked over there in ages until someone posted the thread. I could care less about DC and usually don't discuss them, but clearly they care about us.
The troll has run out of arguments again to support their theory that Jake is straight so shes here calling people names. I am actually pleased to see how powerful OMG and WFT2 have become. PR and trolls have to work full time to counteract our power.
It sometimes takes moderators at DC forum a couple days to deal with problems. They have lives and jobs too so dont monitor 24/7. But they will delete all inappropriate material. They always do.
So what would happen to the rules over there if Jake would come out
But they will delete all inappropriate material.
Inappropriate material = Jake might be gay.

They would sell bullshit about "supporting and respecting Jake" while he was in the closet.

Please. The mods are totally subjective and biased and don't even follow their own rules. Cellar guy or whatever his name is has actually brought up the subject of Jake's sexuality on his own, breaking their own damn rule. If they were actually following the rule of "Jake's sexuality is not to be discussed" the last ten pages of the Serious Jake thread wouldn't be there and neither would any discussion of WFT2.
They would sell bullshit about "supporting and respecting Jake" while he was in the closet.
Exactly. There would be a lot of "we never said he couldn't be gay, we just respect his choices, blah, blah," and they'd ignore the bearding and how he'd played them all for fools. They used to fall all over Reese the perfect woman and now they hate her. When he did that phony USWeekly cover with Swift, they actually thought Reese would see it and be jealous. LOL.
An inside source told press, “Spike realizes he made a huge mistake leaving Michelle and he desperately wants her back.” Another pal added, “They are making a tentative go of their relationship again but Michelle is nervous. Spike broke her heart the first time around.”
Nervous?! Hope Michelle kicks his ass if "broke her heart" is true!
If this is true, maybe this time Spike and Michelle will last a couple years longer than the previous time? Good luck.
I'm gonna get a lot of shit for that but w/e. I think if Jake was straight he would be a good match for Michelle and she loves him.
Anyway, Spike isn't a bad guy. I just hope he will be good to Matilda. But I think he will.
David O Russell's Nailed Moving Forward?
All had seemed more-or-less lost for the beleaguered project, but there may be a glimmer of hope for those waiting to see David O Russell's Nailed, with the reports that a new soundtrack has been commissioned.
Production was edging towards completion in 2008, with Jessica Biel, Jake Gyllenhaal, James Marsden, Catherine Keener and Tracy Morgan starring in the tale of a dorky receptionist (Biel) who undergoes a radical personality change when she's accidentally shot in the head with a nailgun. Heading to Washington to fight for the rights of the peculiarly injured, she falls foul of Gyllenhaal's sleazy congressman.
Russell wrote the script with Kristen Gore (daughter of Al), but production eventually shut down completely due to some back-of-house financial mismanagement, with a few scenes, including the one where Biel gets nailed in the head, not yet fully in the can. Russell officially abandoned the project last year, while incoming financier Ron Tutor, intent on damage limitation, vowed the $26m film would eventually be finished.
And it seems Tutor is as good as his word. Test screenings, confirming the film's current unreleasable state, have taken place, and now John Swihart (Youth In Revolt) has been brought in to provide new music, replacing Sam "Squeak E Clean" Spiegel, who may never have even had the opportunity to contribute a note to the proceedings.
No amount of music is going to paper over the cracks left by incomplete and missing scenes however, so it remains to be seen how Tutor plans to address his biggest problem. The stars remain contractually obliged to come back (even looking three years different), but Russell has made it clear that he's off the project completely. Will a new director fill in the gaps, or is there a way to work around them? You'll hear as soon as we do.

^^Oy, this movie sounds like it's gonna be a big mess if it comes out.
7:47, I'm not going to give you shit. I've thought that about Jake and Michelle a few times before. They obviously have a lot more in common than she did with Heath.
Sounds like fun movie :)
Jake, still waiting for Michelle and Matilda photos :)
I predict a Jake/Michelle/Matilda photo-op very soon in the future.
Jake's bearding tactics were a complete fiasco. And Michelle will have to campaign very hard for her next films plus she has the MM biopic that needs heavy promotion.
Her widowhood is a card already played and her kid is not a baby anymore and all the cute anecdotes about her are going to start to sound boring.
Of course, Jake and Michelle are both good actors and their work alone could speak for them but we all know that is not how Hollywood and PR works.
Jake and Michelle are both good actors and their work alone could speak for them but we all know that is not how Hollywood and PR works.
Michelle doesn't do photo ops. She is an actress, not celebrity who uses acting to make money.
"Michelle doesn't do photo ops. She is an actress, not celebrity who uses acting to make money."
Yes,she does. she did it after magazines announced the split with Heath.She did that set of pics where she has the brunette short hairdo for Wendy&Lucy and she is carrying Matilda smiling for the cameras and then after Terry Gilliam opened his big mouth she did the candids with the Ledger family.
She got pappped a few days ago(altough i only was aware of this because of this site) just when one of her new movies is coming up...and this whole story about Spike Jones... it smells like a planted gossip so she can be mentioned in blogs and keep her name fresh in the public's memory.
and just to make it clear, I really don't thing there is anything terrible wrong about it.It's business and fame came qith things like this. It's not as despicable as bearding or back stabbing peopel. PR is part of the work , that's all.
then after Terry Gilliam opened his big mouth she did the candids with the Ledger family
You can't be serious.
Give me a break and stop making up things.
Michelle was never papped with the Ledgers, not even when she was with Heath. If you think Michelle and Matilda just happened to be photographed with Heath's family after that unflattering article in VF you're very, very naive.
11:03AM: Nobody told me about it,i saw the pics myself.
For the things you say it sounds you are the naive one.
11:03 AM - I'm not naive - you are transparent Michelle hater. BTW, there wasn't anything "unflattering" about Michelle in that VF article, you just wish there was.
why hater? PR is part of the job and every actor who does Hollywood is aware of it.
There are other places to have an acting career not only HW, if theya re there is because even if they don't like it, they have to PR themselves from time to time.It is not raelly an option for them.
11:07, transparent Michelle hater?? What are you talking about, I like Michelle but I'm not stupid or naive like you.
why hater?
Because only a bad human being would presume that another human being would use her child and her child's grandfather and family for a bit of publicity, to make herself look good because dead father of her child and the man she loved might said something to his friend who shared that with some magazine.
I like Michelle...
LOL! From your posts it is easy to see that you only like to trash her and make up bullshit about her.
11:23, bad human being?? LOL, what a silly drama queen.
11:30 AM, I feel sorry for people who have to deal with you.
11:27, FYI I posted only one comment about Michelle at 11:03, the rest was other posters. It's funny that the mere idea Michelle did a photo op with the Ledgers gets your dander up after the many examples posted on WFT 2 of how actors use PR. Believe what you want, I like Michelle as an actress and I think she does a great job at raising Matilda on her own but I don't think she's above photo ops and PR when it serves her. I don't think Heath was either for that matter. They sure knew how to use PR when they were campaigning for awards, playing the lovey dovey couple in front of the cameras while behind them was a different story. Newsflash, it doesn't make them evil. And if your best argument is insulting me I rest my case.
And if your best argument is insulting me I rest my case.
I wish you have an argument, just one, for your nasty fiction.

There is nothing funny about you insulting Michelle and playing stupid.
Wow! Fangurl is MAD! I'll stay out of this...
Who's Fangurl?
Michelle's.
Or maybe it's her lawyers!!!
Careful with what you say today :(
Is there any reason why anyone should think that Michelle is just another publicity whore? Any reason why anyone should think Michelle would use Matilda and Matilda's family for publicity? Well?
If only Jake had a fangirl like Michelle's Fangurl here. ;)
After Jake and Maggie posing with Taylor Swift for Us Weekly it is hard to be Jake's Fangurl :)

Don't be melodramatic. The photo op was to show that Ledgers and Michelle are fine IMO, that there is no truth to the rumors they don't get along. It smelled like a photo op to me too when Legers and Michelle were papped after VF. I think it was planned by both parties. Show that everything is fine (which I doubt is the case, btw.)

3:41 PM - fyi I don't think any celebrity is above creating good PR and sometimes posing for ops, not even Michelle. Sorry to say.
Not that you can compare her with famewhore Jake. LOL.
^^Not saying they are bad people though, it's part of the job. But Jake overdid it in the past for sure.

Stop playing stupid, we aren't discussing celebrities and PR, we are discussing haters who claim that Michelle used her daughter and Heath's family to arrange photo op.
One more time: Is there any reason why anyone should think that Michelle is just another publicity whore? Any reason why anyone should think Michelle would use Matilda and Matilda's family for publicity? There isn't.

I think it was planned by both parties.
(By both parties I mean Mr. Ledger and Kate Ledger (who was one of Heath's PR when he was still alive)).
You should accept that people have different opinions. I for one am moving on now.
Just wanted to add that I don't think Michelle is a famewhore. If the thing with the Ledgers was an op it was to shut people up. (Although I personally don't believe they are the bestest friends either, but I think they are civil for the kid's sake though).
The photo op was to show that Ledgers and Michelle are fine IMO, that there is no truth to the rumors they don't get along.
I'm sure Michelle cares about having a good relationship with Heath's family, for Matildas sake.
I'm sure Michelle does NOT care what general public thinks about her relationship with Heath's family - why should she?
I'm sure Michelle does NOT care what general public thinks about her relationship with Heath's family - why should she?
I do think they care, maybe the Ledgers even more so. Did you notice how quickly Kate denied those rumors again after Michelle said she won't be spending Christmas with Ledgers (although she said she wouldn't be spending it with her mom either) and that they are planning a reunion soon?
I do agree, however, that they are civil towards each other for Matilda's sake. No question.
What?! Media asked Kate for a comment and she replied. How can you compare that to "arranging a photo op"?

I say it might have been an arranged op. So, we have to agree to disagree.

i think mw is a TOTAL pub whore. when did she start talking about Heath? When she was pimping Blue Valentine...
More bullshit.
Talking about man you love and your kid's father isn't publicity whoring. And I'm sure you know that Michelle, like most actors, gives interviews ONLY during movie promo time.
i think mw is a TOTAL pub whore. when did she start talking about Heath? When she was pimping Blue Valentine...
And you probably know that she publically voiced her regret talking about him.
Don't forget that Heath's last galpal is currently promoting the next Pirates film and talked about Heath too.
Isn't it funny how Gemma got the part in Depp's POTC? Coincidence that he knew Heath? ;)
of course she voiced her regrets...otherwise she'd look like a classless pub whore
I wonder if one reason Gemma Ward started dating Heath was getting into movie business?
Was she even a successful model? Never heard of her before she started dating Heath.
Johnny Depp finished Heath's last role, owns a beach called "Heath's Pond" and got Heath's last girlfriend an acting gig? Wow, Johnny must have really liked Heath. :)

I do think so, yes. I think Johnny knew how much Heath admired him. I think it must be flattering to him to be an acting role model for young talents like Heath was. :)
Johnny's speech in Dr Parnassus about staying young forever, gets me everytime :(
UV at babblers has an interview from LAOD where the interviewer asks Jake to use his best pickup line on Ann. Jake is awkward. He has no pickup line. The sign of a truly married man that is so out of practice he fumbles through. And its apparent he has no interest in women as he cant even fake it. He crosses his arms in a protective posture right after.

Is hiding his children and never seeing his "hubby" a sign as well?

ITA. But it is pretty telling on how uncofortable Jake got and how he has no idea on how to come up with some pick up lines. Seems like Jake doesn't try to pick up to many women. Let's face it. Jake's famous and hot. He really doesn't need any pick up lines. But his reaction to an unscripted question throws him.
But it is pretty telling on how uncofortable Jake got ...
Link please!
Jake, let me help you:
Why don’t you come sit on my lap and talk about whatever pops up?
What has 142 teeth and holds back the incredible hulk? My zipper.
I lost my number, can I have yours?
You know what would look great on you? Me.
There are a lot of men in the world, gay and straight, that don't have pickup lines - doesn't make them well and truly married. Pickup lines have long been associated with players and dogs; Jake has never been that guy.
Jake wants us to think he's a player, with those Russian women, and hanging with Adam, and being seen with three different women in one weekend.
Practice makes perfect!
Jessica Lowndes has laughed off rumors she's dating Jake Gyllenhaal insisting they are just friends.
The 90210 star was recently spotted dining with Gyllenhaal, sparking speculation of a budding romance, but Lowndes has declared she's single, and is baffled by the gossip linking her to Source Code actor.
She tells Britain's OK! TV, "It's actually really silly because I could go and have coffee with my mom or a girl and it's fine, but you literally have coffee with a guy and it's all this (dating rumors)."
"No, we are not dating... I'm single."
Jessica Lowndes is too hot for Jake's taste in beards.

Please get a life and stop complaining about what Jake is or not doing. Find a boyfriend yourself before you complain about someone else. Use "your lines" to get a man.
It so easy to hide in the shadows of an anon and complain about someone else's life, but he has one. And, he does not have to please little ole you with who he dates and how he goes about getting a date.
leave the computer alone for a day and find yourself a man, will you.
Geeshhh***
11:34 AM - why don't you take your own advice? You really need it, LMAO!
Please get a life and stop complaining about what Jake is or not doing. Find a boyfriend yourself before you complain about someone else. Use "your lines" to get a man - says the person hanging around here arguing all the time that we should not discuss jakes life. Where is your boyfriend and why are you on the computer.
11:34, I'm not complaining about what Jake is doing. My point stands, get a life and deal with your own first before you cast the stone. Most people who complain about someones elses life daily usually don't have one themselves.
This goes for you also.
Jake can date and scr** who he wants, what's it to you?
Please tell. Are you losing sleep. Oh apparently you ARE.

hey 11:48, I'm not complaining about Jake's life. YOU are. Sorry, gotta GO!
Continue to complain about Jake's life and how he's not doing what you want him to do so ((YOU)) can be PLEASED! Hope you get something out of your complaints.

Homophobe troll, is that you? Still pissed off only with people who discuss gay Jake?
Last thing. A person who calls someone they don't know personally and keeps up attacks that they are gay, bearding and should come out are an HOMOPHOBE!
Simply because you don't have the decency and understanding that until the person comes out, people, and this includes YOU should leave them alone and let them live their life the way they want to, not how you want them to.
Also, it's apparent that you are gay also, (it's very telling), so if you are constantly attacking someone who you presume is gay and have not come out yet, you are just as stupid and disrespectful as the homophobic assholes who don't respect other human beings who are gay. It just makes you a gay stupid homophobic asshole.
That's all.
A person who calls someone they don't know personally and keeps up attacks that they are gay, bearding and should come out are an HOMOPHOBE!
You are confirming what I've said, you are a homophobe - only a homophobe thinks that talking gay is a bad thing, an insult - "keeps up attacks".
12:00 PM - you are making up shit and lie about posts here and then try to use it as an argument. Not even a nice try.
who don't respect other human beings who are gay
Cheap publicity whores who pose for tabloids with their beards don't deserve any respect.

There are too many negative things going on in life instead of complaining about what's written in the tabs about some star.
You don't need to buy tabloids in order to see the cover and photos published in them.

So transparent and pathetic.
but you complain ONLY about people who are discussing gay Jake.
I'm not the poster but, I think she/he is saying you are (complaining) about Jake's life, not (discussing) GAY Jake.
Him being Gay or NOT is just a side issue. Maybe true, maybe not.

The poster is pretending not to be a homophobe, of course he/she woudn't admit to have a problem with gay Jake - but you can bet that he/she would never ever ask JiS fans to get a life and stop discussing Jake's private life and gossip about him!
Homophobe=someone who hates and fears gay people.
Regular posters here don't hate and fear gay people, they hate lying and fame-whoring , especially of the proving you're straight when you're not variety.
Talking about whether someone is gay is not a bad thing unless you think being gay is a bad thing.

It's so obvious you're driven insane by JiG talk. LOL. You might want to ask yourself why you care so much what is said here. I mean, if you really think everyone who posts here is so terrible, why do you give a shit what we think?

Talking about whether someone is gay is not a bad thing unless you think being gay is a bad thing.
first of all Destiny, claiming someone is Gay when they have said that they are NOT. Is wrong, even if the person is hiding and lying. That's that persons life. When they are ready to admit they are actually gay, then you can argue about their lying later. But since you don't live with Jake, you making any statement as "the truth" about his life and sexuality is still wishful thinking and speculation. That's the Truth!
You can coddle and babysit the young gays here with your unending Approval of Them calling Jake out because he's bearding and hurting your cause if you want to, but I see with some people, age and Adulthood does not equal maturity.
Regular posters here don't hate and fear gay people, they hate lying and fame-whoring
Adults know that saying someone is gay, bearding and famewhoring does not neccessarily make it truth either. The problem Destiny is when they and you say it's truth, act as if it's truth, then attack.
Rational and mature Adults would leave someone they suspect is gay alone and let them find themselves.
Even if that person deals with the opposite sex occassionally. Should that stright person or gay person attack that person? I say NO.
Note: There are Stupid Straight homophobes in this world who would attack everthing a gay person does and stands for. An out Gay person or an "IN the Close"t Gay person.
There are also Stupid "HOMOPHOBIC Acting" GAY people who would attack anyone they think or presume is gay and hiding, instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt until they find themselves.
Preaching EXCEPTANCE while not "Excepting" is a double standard much. Gays do this also.
Which is Best?
Should that stright person or gay person attack that person? I say NO.
Should that straight person or, GAY person attack that person they think or presume is gay? I say NO.
Expressing the opinion that someone is gay and then calling them a liar for phony, shove it down your throat fauxmances is not homophobic.
If you really think that is what homophobia means, you need to do some reading dearie instead of hanging around here where it upsets you so much.
Simmer down 7:53.
Censorship regarding Jake's sexuality does not happen here.

the fauxmance part is your opinion!
Except it. I do!
Why should I listen to someone who doesn't even know the difference between except and accept.
the fauxmance part is your opinion
The fauxmance part is obviuos truth - and you can see that too on Us Weekly cover.
Trolly's fiction.

That's bullshit.
We know that Jake fakes relationships with women he doesn't give a shit about and being gay is the only explanation.
No one here can out Jake or push him out of the closet.
You are suggesting that it is OK to gossip and speculate about straight celebrities, but we should be quiet about lying gay celebrities - why?
There are also Stupid "HOMOPHOBIC Acting" GAY people who would attack anyone they think or presume is gay and hiding, instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt until they find themselves.
Benefit of the doubt?????????????
