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.

What is your point?
That Chris isn't Jake's best friend?
That Jake and Austin can't be close friends because Jake is friends with David?
Please explain.
Please explain.
Am I not allowed to post a quote about David? We have been discussing David. Seemed logical to me.
So?
What is your point?
That Chris isn't Jake's best friend?
That Jake and Austin can't be close friends because Jake is friends with David?
Ask Jake. He's the one who said the above quote.
Your words: Who cares about Austin. We know what Jake has said about David
Ask Jake. He's the one who said the above quote.
Jake didn't say "Who cares about Austin. We know what Jake has said about David", he can't explain what YOU are trying to imply.
I was saying that I don't give a shit about Austin as I don't believe they are a couple. Hey, that doesn't mean that they are not still best friends. Happy?
David discussion - I don't see anyone claiming that Jake and Austin are still a couple, not even suggesting that.
OT: Going to a test screening this Thursday for "My Week with Marilyn."
Looking forward to your review :)
BT and Atticus fighting over food
LOL! Poor Atticus, no wonder he's always hungry :)
I think you have a problem with Jake and Austin's friendship because you are so desperate to make David look more important and make Austin less important in Jake's life
I'm not the original poster and I just caught up with this argument or whatever you want to call it, but it seems to me that you're the one being defensive about this David guy. Jake's own words define David as his "best friend." No one has to try and make him look more important and I don't see how it's desperate to simply quote Jake. You're free to find the quote where Jake refers to Austin as his best friend :) It works both ways, you know. It could be said that you are desperate to make Austin look more important than he actually is.
Jake's own words define David as his "best friend."
Yes, just like Chris. It is obvious people are using David to trash Austin and pretend how Jake had the same opportunity to appear with Austin in public: "Jake took David Modigliani to London to the Baftas, this year at SXSW to the premiere of SC, went to TX to celebrate his birthday a couple years ago. When is the last time Jake did that with Austin?".
BT and Atticus fighting over food
LOL! Poor Atticus, no wonder he's always hungry :)
Yeah, no wonder when BT steals all his food. ;)
Looking forward to your review :)
Me too.
I watched the BAFTA clip just now. I don't know what some of you have against David--he looks like a good friend. He is genuinely pleased for Jake who is looking hot in that clip. (For a second I thought he was about to kiss Heath.)
I don't think anyone has anything against David, no one trashed him. The problem is that some people have a lot against Austin. (I believe Jake and Austin broke up long time ago)
Why are you so desperate to make David look like Jake's BFF? That can't change Jake and Austin story, you must know that.
It's obvious you can't follow a rational disagreement. Are you 11 yrs old? You sound like some teenager desparate for Jake and Austin to be a united force.
The poster said nothing about old pics of J/A that the paps took years ago. That's not happening now. And you know it.
Jake is too busy hanging out and being papped with others, and Austin is traveling around the world (alone or with whatshername).
You know this also.
^Fact^
(For a second I thought he was about to kiss Heath.)
Oh boy, that was talked about forever years ago on the old WFT.
He was about to kiss Heath, Hey, Jake forgot where he was.
"Jake, Oh NO"!
I know I’m a loser and watching The Voice, but Adam Levine did what I call a goofy Jake. What I mean when Jake is on talk show or interviews and gets goofy. Yes, it’s sad. And yes, it’s a bit girlie ish. Must be a LA thing.
Are you on twitter?
no. why?
Oh no reason.
David could be a boyfriend as the troll suggests. Just because they have know each other since 6 does not mean they did not move on to a sexual relationship. He could be a fill in when Jake and Austin are on the outs just like Chris was during the big breakup. As for the birthday people celebrate on alternate dates all the time. We saw no sign of a party on Jakes 30th but he has since made reference to it during interviews so there was a celebration. He and Austin could have picked another date just to throw off the snoops. You know they know we were watching.
David is straight.

What! I saw it too and thought I may be the only one to catch it. It was the way Adam clapped his hands in a goofy way. Jake does that often also. Hey, they are friends and I "might" be an LA thing.
Hey, I loved the show. Much better than Idol. I watched Idol one season and a few episodes. Too much hype for me. I'm not a fan of these kinds of shows but this was different (for Me).
The Voice is not about an Idol look but about people who can sing, and too many people who can really sing but are not an idol look, get passed over so much for what's mostly fluff. That's why you have so many singers with a million dancers on stage with them. They can't hold your attention or mesmerize you with their voice.
^^ (IT) might be an LA thing.^^
David could be a boyfriend as the troll suggests.
Talk about making sh*t up as you go. Please quote where anyone has suggested David is/could be Jake's BF.

Wrong. Stop playing stupid and read posts.

No one can see or know anything unless Jake and Austin are doing something in public places.
It was the way Adam clapped his hands in a goofy way.
Goofy or gay?
As for the birthday people celebrate on alternate dates all the time.
Jake doesn't work, Austin doesn't work, birthday was on Sunday. What could be the reason for alternate date?

Mumford & Sons have picked up a star passenger on their train tour - celebrity fan Jake Gyllenhaal.
The British folk group is currently in the middle of its six-date Railroad Revival Tour from Oakland, California to New Orleans, Louisiana, which is being filmed for an upcoming documentary, and Jake Gyllenhaal has come along for the ride.
The actor hopped on the vintage train in San Pedro, California and was spotted at Saturday night's (23Apr11) show in Tempe, Arizona and Sunday's (24Apr11) at the band's railroad tour stop in Marfa, Texas, which was made extra special when Mumford & Sons invited a minister onstage to conduct an Easter sermon.

Bill Nye, the harmless children's edu-tainer known as "The Science Guy," managed to offend a select group of adults in Waco, Texas at a presentation, when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun.
As even most elementary-school graduates know, the moon reflects the light of the sun but produces no light of its own.
But don't tell that to the good people of Waco, who were "visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence," according to the Waco Tribune.
Nye was in town to participate in McLennan Community College's Distinguished Lecture Series. He gave two lectures on such unfunny and adult topics as global warming, Mars exploration, and energy consumption.
But nothing got people as riled as when he brought up Genesis 1:16, which reads: "God made two great lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars."
The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.
At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled "We believe in God!" and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they'd always suspected.
This story originally appeared in the Waco Tribune, but the newspaper has mysteriously pulled its story from the online version, presumably to avoid further embarrassment.
Henry Cavill plays a hunky Theseus, on whose story the upcoming film Immortals, is loosely based. Here's a new trailer and still (below) from the film, which shows Cavill using his sword, sandals, and sweat to full effect.
Conspicuously missing from the trailer is Kellan Lutz's no doubt equally muscular turn as Poseidon, which means we'll just have to look forward to the next one.
Immortals trailer
Jake, Marcus or Henry? :)
Sorry to disappoint you fangirl but Marcus is straight and is supposed to be with Carey Mulligan at the moment. She was with them inn the beggining of the tour.
"David is straight."
That's why he's Jake 'new' best friend. Unambiguously ambiguous Chris is Jake's 'old' best friend.
She was with them inn the beggining of the tour.
I remember, that was a few days after she was papped with her boyfriend in NYC.
P.S. Boyfriend who wasn't Marcus.
I have always thought that if indeed Jake and Austin are parents, saying that they are "hiding" their children is a bit of an exaggeration. Just because we don't know about them, that doesn't mean they are being hidden. Their families and others are probably well aware of their existence, and it isn't going to hurt the kids one iota, especially if their parents communicate their intentions to the children as they grow up. It's a matter of the children's protection and privacy, as any one of us would do for our own. Why subject them to paps and danger if you don't have to.
It's a matter of the children's protection and privacy
No, it would be a case of child abuse.
You don't need to be a parent to see how terribly wrong would be for a kid never to go out in public with parents. Just one example - Jake spent holidays with family, was in NYC for weeks. Ramona is free to go out with her family, everyone is fine with "paps and danger". Can you imagine BT who can go out just with his/her nanny, never with his/her father or Ramona? Not going out for a walk in the park with your parent? You would call that normal life?
Oh BS. A little hysterical there. How do we know they don't go out in public. Just because we don't see it, doesn't mean they never go out.
How do we know they don't go out in public.
Because there are no sightings of Jake and kid or Jake and nanny and kid. Jake is denying having kids - that means that he makes sure not to be caught. (I don't believe there is BT).
We really don't see that many pics of Ramona either. Her parents are not fine with paps and danger.
I'll bet Jake and the kid(s) hang out with Busy and Birdie, Matilda, Ramona, etc. etc. I can imagine Jake is a great parent.
Personally, I don't care about Jake's kids and personal life. I respect his decision to keep his private life private, if that is what he's doing. You are aware that you can't photograph stars' children without consent? They are protected. So there goes that theory, eh?
IDK how many remember my story about my job and my colleagues. But some might remember that I'm very unlucky with my job and close co-workers (the two guys and the woman). So, I very recently started looking for something new, but it's not so easy finding something else. I know it can take a while, but I'm so unhappy in my current job. Recently I was even crying at the office. I don't think anyone looked or noticed though. Life sucks currently. :(
I can imagine Jake is a great parent.
Jake will be a great parent. Hiding and denying a kid would make him a terrible parent.
You are aware that you can't photograph stars' children without consent? They are protected.
LOL, of course you can photograph stars' children - paparazzi and everyone else with a camera.
5:21 PM - try to make an effort to find something, anything you can do on your job that will make you feel good.
The photos cannot be published without consent of the parents.
"The photos cannot be published without consent of the parents."
That's bullshit.
Yes, I'm sure that Twitter, Facebook and blog users ask for consent before publishing photos of celebrities and their kids.
5:21 PM - try to make an effort to find something, anything you can do on your job that will make you feel good.
I don't think I can. The three of them are still snubbing me and when I have a question regarding work they answer reluctantly or arrogantly. It's difficult for me to handle. I even spoke to the one guy recenly (who used to behave the worst) and asked if he had a problem with me, but he said he didn't know what I was talking about. This is not a good place for me. The problem is, it's not so easy to find a new job. :(
When I told my best friend about my problems, she told me that she never had such problems. It wasn't very helpful.
You don't even need photos, imagine tweet like this: "Saw Gyllenhaal in Brooklyn, cute kid called him Daddy. Since when Jake has kids???".
Maybe I'm just too shy and my co-workers perceive me as not social enough. Still, that's no reason to snub me and treat me like that, I think.
5:50 PM - you are looking for a new job so all you can do is ignoring your colleagues and their behaviour. Concentrate on doing the work and having good time with friends outside work.
5:50 PM - you are looking for a new job so all you can do is ignoring your colleagues and their behaviour. Concentrate on doing the work and having good time with friends outside work.
I try to ignore them as much as I can and will continue so. But sometimes the whole situation upsets me so much and I cry at the office. I hate that. I just hope I'll find something else ASAP.
Thank god for weekends. They can't come fast enough.
Thanks for letting me bother you with my private stuff again. But I post here almost regularly and if something is really bothering me IRL I even share it on the internet. ;)
Feel free to trash your colleagues as much as you like, lol :)
Feel free to trash your colleagues as much as you like, lol :)
Lol, thanks. I probably will until I annoy all of you. :D
Fingers crossed that won't happen because you'll find new job soon :)
Just rise above, 5:21. Mature people realize that everyone in an office is a unique personality and worthy of respect, so shy or not, they should be nice generally to everyone. There's no accounting for (lack of) class in some offices, who knows why. All you should think of is that it isn't your problem, it's theirs. You'll find something else soon, where people will be appreciative of you. Good luck! :)
5:05pm, Jake has stated that he would like to have children one day, which means, he is not a father and has NO Children.
Do you understand this?
He is not a father, he has no children. He STATED it.
I believe that's true. But Jake said things that are a LIE, so "he STATED it" doesn't prove anything.
What does he need to do to convince you that he's straight ? Take a lie detector test?
Jake is gay, his fake relationships with females is proof enough.

Miguel Bosé is dad to twin baby boys
VETERAN pop icon Miguel Bosé has announced on Twitter that he is the father of twin boys.
Diego and Tadeo were born to a surrogate mother in the USA a month ago, and their dad proclaims he is 'the happiest man on earth' at having realised his life-long dream.
Bosé – who was born 55 years ago this month in Panamá to an Italian actress and a Spanish bullfighter – is thought to be single and has never given anything away about any boyfriends he has had during his 32 years as one of Spain's favourite singers.
Whilst always having been capable of reinventing himself, Bosé's unique, inimitable style of music and haunting voice never fails to pull a crowd at his concerts, or net him millions of well-deserved album sales.
The birth of his babies coincided with the end of his world tour, which finished up in Mexico.
A week ago, his friend Mercedes Milá posted a message she had received from Miguel on her blog: “Yes, I'm a dad to two 'Miguelitos', whom I love more than I've loved anyone in the world,” he said.
Dad and babies are all doing fine, and are now back at home in Madrid.

Mumford and Sons give in and let Jake Gyllenhaal join the band - Jake on trumpet in New Orleans
It was only a matter of time... after spending a week as a stowaway on the Mumford and Sons Railroad Revival Tour Train there was only one thing left for Jake Gyllenhaal to do. Yep, he joined the band. No doubt hoping to work off his fare. One thing occurs to me and I wonder if it occurred to the band. Can Jake actually play the trumpet. In the words of a good friend, is Jake the equivalent of the Fifth Beatle? Is Jake the Fifth Mumford?

I have no idea what Jake and Austin's relationship is right now, but there are some things that get thrown around as evidence they are not together that are just not right. Maybe if your arguments weren't so illogical people would listen to them.
1. The absence of pictures is not evidence that someone who is deeply in the closet is not in a relationship with someone else or never sees them.
It's called the closet for a reason--you don't see what is going on, unless someone is in a glass closet. Jake is not only not in glass closet, he is so deep in their you'd need floodlights to see anything.
2. The fact that gossip sites, tabloids, the NE, etc. don't out Jake or BT if he/she exists is because they are not in the business of outing big stars. They don't want to lose access to other stars, and, more importantly, advertising. Ever notice how some of the biggest advertisers on sites are movies, TV, music, etc? Do you think they'd get those advertisers if they pissed them off by outing their stars?
Thats why people like Perez and Jaxon don't out people anymore--they can't make money off of it.
And while on the topic, Ian was an idiot--regardless of what you think of whether Austin is with Jake now, there is no doubt they were together in 2006, and Ian was totally clueless as to whether Jake was ever with him.
As for John Edwards, he's a politician, so no advertisers, studios, agents, pr firms, etc. to piss off. It's a "one off" situation.
3. Disguises and keeping away. If you really think this doesn't go on, then you don't know much about HW. Johhny Depp went to Comic Con in a costume so he could go unrecognized. According to a poster on DL, Quinto was making Jonathan Groff walk a block behind him when they'd go out in NYC so that the paps couldn't get a picture of them together--and if true, Groff is out and was a big advocate for gay rights and gay marriage when he was with Gavin Creele, so hardly someone you'd think would put up with that shit, but apparently he did/does (see pictures of him standing as far away from Quinto on their "double date" with Lea Michelle. I've read other stories of stars dressing in "disguises" to go out.
4. Again, I have no idea if Austin was with Jake during any part of this tour, but Austin is rarely recognized when he is not with someone who is more recognizable, like Jake or Sophia. You can probably count on one hand the number of sightings of Austin when he is alone or with "civilian" (outside of Wilmington where all the fangirls flock). So to say that someone would have seen him if he was there is not necessarily the case.
Maybe if your arguments weren't so illogical people would listen to them.
Sorry, arguments from people who insist that Jake and Austin and BT are together don't follow logic and common sense.
1. The absence of pictures is not evidence that someone who is deeply in the closet is not in a relationship with someone else or never sees them.
True, but no ove ever used that argument.
Two people working in different cities, traveling apart, spending holidays apart and spending free time apart is good reason to believe they don't care about being together, they aren't in a relationship and aren't parents.
7:02 PM & 7:27 PM (April 27th)-
thanks for the encouraging words. :)
In other words, Jake and Austin can stay in the deepest closet while they are in LA or NYC at the same time, but they prefer to spend they time with different people on different locations.
Maybe if your arguments weren't so illogical people would listen to them.
Oh No You Didn't! LOL. What logic are you basing your hypotheses on?
3. Disguises and keeping away.
Something like that would be humiliating for Jake and Austin. And would make sense ONLY if Jake and Austin cared to be together.
And would make sense ONLY if Jake and Austin cared to be together.
Well, they do care because they are together. Otherwise, no need for the tabloidesque Crazy Train tour the weekend of Austin's birthday. Jake's people are known for overkill in everything they do. That's why Taylor Swift was rolled out after Thanksgiving the way it was. They thought, "Everyone will believe they're together because Jake would never spend the holidays with someone he didn't care deeply for and Maggie would never pull little Ramona into Jake's bearding charade." Well, I guess they were wrong on both counts.
Okay so that ^^^^ makes no sense whatsoever.
Of course it doesn't make sense. What tabloids??? Jake could have stayed in LA, like he did 1.000 times before in the last 4-5 years and no one except J&A believers would think that he's in LA because Austin is there too.
And I'm sure Mumford & Sons didn't plan the tour and documentary around Austin's birthday.
"This closeted Hollywood actor – who starred in a huge 2009 Sci Fi Film – is arguing with his handlers about coming out. The handsome hunk is ready to let the world know he is gay. However, his people want him to keep quiet until after the sequel comes out."
Zach Quinto?
4:49 first of all, you don't know Maggie, so you don't know what the hell she would or would not do. That's a fact.
Whatever Jake and Taylor was, beard/girlfriend, it's over now, just like Jake and Austin (IS), Regardless of you never ending big bad PR conspiracy to fool you.
Jake is traveling with Mumford because it seems he has time on his hands and maybe nothing else to do before filming his new movie.
hmmmm, wonder who's taking care of the children while he travel with the band and Austin going on casting calls and late nights with Sophia? Poor BabyTiles 1 2 and 3.
Jake is traveling with Mumford because it seems he has time on his hands and maybe nothing else to do
What, NO? No time for Austin and the Kids? Why on earth won't he spend time with the children and Austin When not on a movie shoot. Why spend time traveling with a band on his honeybunny's birthday?
Is it because they're not together?

You can probably count on one hand the number of sightings of Austin when he is alone or with "civilian" (outside of Wilmington where all the fangirls flock). So to say that someone would have seen him if he was there is not necessarily the case.
You are ignoring common sense again - they work hard to seem like they aren't together, but at the same time they go in public together? Someome can snap a picture, put it on the Net and people would recognise Austin.
I'm not saying they are going out together in public. I'm saying that it is possible (but I have no idea if it actually happens) for Jake and Austin to be in the same area, but keeping their distance in public.
My point is that 99% of the population doesn't recognize Austin, and that generally he is only recognized because people see someone they do know, like Sophia, and say to themselves, that guy with her must be that actor from OTH she's dating. And the reason I say that happens is because we never get sightings, say, of Austin out shopping,nobody says "Austin just came into my shop" or other activities where you'd expect him to be on his own.
Sophia is a beard, he's not joined to her at the hips 24/7 despite someone's insistence here that he is.
Poor BabyTiles 1 2 and 3.

In the same area? What does that mean? For example, they go out in West Hollywood at the same time but different coffee shop? What would be the point?
Did Sophia really say this about Austin? HOW SWEET.

“We met many years ago, and he’s a very, very good guy and I had been in a relationship with a very, very bad guy. And you know, he came along and he was handsome and charming and funny and I was like ‘I’m not buying what you’re selling’, I don’t care, this romance thing. You wanna go on a date? I don’t think so. And he was like ‘Okay, run from me. I’m taller, and I’ll run faster.’ And, he did. So for years, we would go to dinner and then I would run and finally he was like ‘You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna take a job in North Carolina and you can’t run away from me now! Yeah, it’s kind of sexy.”

Not 24/7, but they are 90% of the time in the same city at the same time.

^^^and people do see them together.
Destiny really should get over this Austin-Sophia beard logic. It's old but, I know it's her go to rationale to keep from pulling her hair out because for years, the J/A harliquin novel she wants keeps falling apart.
Jake and Austin are never in the same city together. The last time they were spotted together Austin was with Sophia, and there has been NO siting of J/A for years. No twitter siting, no cell phone pictures.
Get over it Destiny.

The Railroad Revival Tour – a six-date jaunt on a string of vintage Amtrak cars traveling from Oakland, California to New Orleans – pulled into the 2,000-person town of Marfa, Texas on Sunday for an outdoor gig that attracted as many concertgoers as Marfa has residents. Fans and onlookers stood along the railroad tracks to snap shots of Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and bluegrass traditionalists Old Crow Medicine Show as they stepped off the 14-car train into the dry Texas air.
The tour, which is being filmed by director Emmett Malloy for a documentary due out this fall, is the first of its kind – an attempt to encourage creative cross-pollination among the three artists and explore alternate ways of taking a rock show on the road. Along the way, the Railroad Revival has turned into a caravan of sorts, with more than a dozen new passengers jumping on board, including actor Jake Gyllenhaal – a friend of the Mumfords' camp who decided to join the tour on a whim in San Pedro, without even bringing a change of clothes.

Really? Jake is cool like that?
Anyone been to ihj lately they have new pics of Jake and the Austin lookalike with their arms entwined. Now what's up with that.
Love? :)
April 29 - New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival - Day 1
On what planet does he look like austin? He looks like one of the geico cavemen. Isn't he a member of one of the other groups, Edward Sharpe or something.
BTW, I've seen pics of Jake obviously drunk out of his skull, that and the lack of clean clothes=funky.
They are all in Memphis now
I've seen pics of Jake obviously drunk out of his skull
Link or that never happened :)
You have gotto be kidding me? You do realize that booze and drugs/pot is the norm on tours? sure this is being filmed for a documentary so it will be cleaned up but you can bet they indulged , there was a few tweets of Jake being buzzed and they weren't talking about his haircut.
The pics I won't link to because if they wanted everyone to see them they would have posted them on their twitter account.
He and several members of the group look wasted including the geico caveman and Marcus and they looked gross liked they dived into a barrel of beer, a few underaged girls lurking, gross.
So yes it did happen fangirl, Jake drinks!!!
You have gotto be kidding me?
No, you are kidding us - there are no photos of drunk Jake, you made that up.
The pics I won't link to because if they wanted everyone to see them they would have posted them on their twitter account.
Not even a nice try, liar.
yes there are and he was drinking, what's the big deal? He's 30 years old and is free to have a good time, what do you think he was drinking? Milk and kool-aid? No need to make anything up, what he is doing is perfectly naturaol and normal.
That geico looking dude is Winston Marshall, banjo player for Mumford and sons.
yes there are and he was drinking
You would post link if there were pictures like that. You can't because there are no such pictures, just your fiction.
the pictures will be "leaked"
Nonsense.
David Mod is an Austin resident too, and with longer hair it is dark and curly and yes, he resembles Austin Nichols at times, esp if seen from a distance. So it's possible over the years people have mistaken identities.
I think Austin and Jake had a thing but years ago and it probably is no more. BT I believe is more a concept about an adopted baby or a planned surrogate baby that probably never came to fruition. Just my opinion to throw into the pot of many....
So yes it did happen fangirl, Jake drinks!!!
I'll wager he does a lot more than that. Why would a bit of drinking bother anyone? He's a 30 year old man, he's probably snorted half of Hollyweird up his nose over the years. They most all do don't they? Vices of one sort or another.

As far as I remember, there were no Jake/Austin sightings from Austin, TX.

Please read posts, someone is lying about "pics of Jake obviously drunk out of his skull".

Aww cute. And Jake is one attractive man. He got all the good genes. His sister is too tall and has a gradma face, but sometimes she's cute and has a good career which is much more important than good looks. They fade anyway anyway.
Sometimes I think when you aren't that pretty or just average in your youth, you deal with getting older and losing your looks much easier than people (particularly women) who were true beauties in their youth. IMO.
Depends on who much you use looks to get what you want :)
I believe everyone who is very beautiful or handsome knows it and uses it more or less for her/his advances.
OTOH money and power can make one more attractive too. What about those two young prices, William and Harry (the younger one even seems to be a bit of a spoiled brat). Very average looking guys, yet all the girls find them hot and want to be with them. Money and power are the key words here too. ;)
They don't find them hot, whey are after rich husbands.
lancewiedower: “@memphisdaily: Just heard Jake Gyllenhaal is in town with Mumford and Sons for #BSMF. /am”
Baby Tile(s) is not a concept. Its a real life human baby.
A real life human baby with two terrible parents.
I don't think Jake has any babies. If he and Austin ever were more than friends, then that is probably long over. Jake looks cute with that hairy guy (take a look at 1:18 PM's link)in those pics. It's nice he seems to be having such a great time on tour with M & S. :)
For years I change my opinion about Jake. I either think he is bi prefering gals or bi prefering guys. Currently I'm convinced it's the second. Ultimately I think he'll end up marrying a woman, probably someone as nice as Anne H.. But it would be so great if Hollywood celebs like Jake (Leo DiCaprio, Clooney and other rumored bi/gay guys) would be open about their sexuality and be role models for other closeted bi/gay guys in this world. There are also so many male celebs from the world of sports who are closeted bi/gay guys, their situation is as bad as the actors' or even worse. :(
Boxofficemojo has SC 10th for Friday estimates. Not bad for its 5th Friday. Deadline estimates Scream 4 10th for the weekend and didn’t list SC. BOMOJO doesn’t do weekend estimates until sunday afternoon so we shall see.

Sport careers are shorter so their coming out situation is better.
This Mumford tour has me more convinced than ever that Jake is gay. Locked arms. big smiles. A very cute guy on his shoulders. All the interaction is with men. The women are just passersby.
Looks like a comment rattled the troll. Tough when the truth stares you in the face.
What cute guy on his shoulders?
As far as I remember, there were no Jake/Austin sightings from Austin, TX.
Well there wouldn't be would there? Everyone was on their case at that time and Austin was being purposefully chopped out of pictures. That much is evident. To the point that whoever was doing the chopshop was almost even leaving clues due to the crap photoshopping easily picked up on. Why bother for some dude who's just a friend unless he's such a permanent fixture it's embarrassingly obvious that two guys are doing 'their' shopping for a week's grocery, etc, or going to a beach barbie as a couple? Lukas Haas has never been chopped from Leo's pics and Leo and Tobey have never been cropped for all their hanging out and speculation over the years.
But there's always an awful lot that flies under the radar that never makes the press and gets lost in blogland too. You didn't see the behind the scenes stuff like a few of us did. Dunno about some 'great romance' but Jake almost certainly stayed with Austin in Austin, Tx, a few years ago, maybe as friends or more. The suggestion was they were a couple at the time and even managed to meet up with Kiki and possibly others in a small group to go on a social outing with the emphasis on Jake and Austin as the lead couple.
It's all water under the bridge now anyway and not worth fussing over. Whatever Jake and Austin had, if they did, is probably past history. I don't know the depths of it, just that certain things occurred during that frenzied summer of sightings and supposition that hinted to me there was perhaps some sort of relationship going on that was being covered up. They did look very happy together and comfortable. But we can all misread friendships. Jake and Austin might be as gay as gooses between them, just not with each other. It may always have been just a very tight bromance.
I'm sorry but that guy is way too scruffy to be with Jake. Bleech. He looks homeless. But I did laugh when I saw their arms were interlinked. LOL. I wonder if Jake's PR folks have seen these pics?

Too scruffy to be with Jake?
I assume you know what makes Jake tick?
Jake seems pretty clean-cut. Didn't he say he takes multiple showers a day? That guy doesn't look like he's seen water since the Clinton administration. And I can imagine his odor.
8:18 AM - what are you babbling about???
"April 29 - New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival" guy with Jake looks clean.
That guy looks kind of effeminate. I thought Jake was into manly guys?
Two bottoms can have a lot of fun too!

When was "a few years ago" exactly?When Jake stayed in a hotel and attended David's party?
Maybe Jake wants to feel butch. ;)
"8:18 AM - what are you babbling about???

Sorry, but that guy with Jake, the Mumford and Sons member, does not look clean. Enlarge the pics and see yourself.
Enlarge the pics and see yourself.
I have, he's as clean as one can be.
"I have, he's as clean as one can be."
LOL. We must look at wholly different pics then. ;)
The guy's nails are uncut and gross too.
He's cute though and seems to be a nice fellow. That's what counts anyway. ;)

^^Oh and his teeth don't look brushed. He has stains.
I agree, he doesn't look clean and his teeth don't look too inviting either. But if that's what Jake likes then that's what he likes.
Jake seems pretty clean-cut. Didn't he say he takes multiple showers a day?
Yes, he did. He is always very well groomed.
But if that's what Jake likes then that's what he likes.
True. It's the personality that counts. :)
Of course Jake's team saw the pics of Jake and stinky guy , it was posted on the PR approved site Just Jared, LOL!!!
Maybe he's a scintillating conversationalist.
No, he's just great in bed!
The Railroad revival tour from San Pedro Ca to Austin TX, was filmed for a documentary that will be out in the fall, Jake knows that.
The pic of the band posing together in TX with fans with that guy on Jake's shoulders will be part of the documentary. If you check out the video that was posted here of Jake in TX on stage playing the trumpet, a bandmember is on the shoulders of another guy dancing around on stage, goofing around, like the arm locked pics. He is running from the gay and he is well aware he is being watched including pics backstage, so he and his team are aware and there is nothing gay about it, but your comments sound homophobic.
You crack me up m, you post on OMG that you are 100% sure he is gay but you post here anon. claiming that these pics convince you more than ever, if you are sure why do you need to be convinced?
You say the same thing everytime Jake does something you don't like.
And by the way there are very few women that actually hang around on these tours unless they are part of the group or groupies, so what interaction with women are you talking about?
In the beginning in CA, he was seen with Busy and Carey Mulligan but they didn't travel with them after and the few women were members of the other groups.
Also it ain't cool, most of the roadies are male.
Someone on ATXgossip FB claims that someone took a pic of Jake and some blonde goinging into one of the trains in Marfa, I bet that surfaces soon.
He looks like he has a change of shirts but not pants, they look and probably smell rank.
For someone who supposedly has a shitload of kids he sure is in no hurry to get home, spotted bicycling in Memphis with band member Ben Lovette.
I'm a fan of Mumford and sons and Winston Marshall is straight as is the rest of the , something i'm sure Jake is well aware of.

Jake Gyllenhaal Revival
If you haven't heard, Jake Gyllenhaal joined Mumford and Sons on their Railroad Revival tour which chugged into Austin last night.But first, it stopped in Marfa where a friend of a friend snapped a pic of Jake walking from the train with a pretty blond gal.....

DUH!!!

That's bullshit.
And by the way there are very few women that actually hang around on these tours unless they are part of the group or groupies, so what interaction with women are you talking about?
Women that are photographed with Jake during the M&S tour.
http://a.yfrog.com/img611/2108/y3cfp.jpg
Is that Austin sitting opposite to Jake?
You mean standing? No, it's Ben Lovette from M&S, I saw another pic on FB of them at this place, Marcus wasd there also.
Austin is in La La land with his woman taking pics of dogs with sunglasses, LOL!!!
M claims that there is no interaction with Jake and women on the tour and it was pointed out that here are very few women on the tour.
Busy and Carey in the beginning, a few women that are members of the other groups and a few random women that I assume are groupies, it's still a man's world, most roadies, managers, etc are men.
The wives and GF's of the male band members rarely if ever travel with them, nothing has really changed.
The blonde Jake was spotted with most likely was some hanger on and stayed behind in marfa.
He is running from the gay and he is well aware he is being watched including pics backstage, so he and his team are aware and there is nothing gay about it, but your comments sound homophobic.
Correct.
The troll is kicking off on the DL Jake in Gay T shirt thread, it's hilarious. It panics like crazy, especially if you imply some random band dude is gay, even in jest.
Please go and wind her the fuck up since she's been shitting on this thread for days about how straight Mumford and Sons are, as if we CARE, FFS.
Shouldn't you use your SS check for more important things than starting threads on the DL?
When was "a few years ago" exactly?When Jake stayed in a hotel and attended David's party?
Don't know anything about that. It was before or around the time of the Biking Bromance thing, when McBongo and Lance started being seen out with him. After the Lakers pics though.
Shouldn't you use your SS check for more important things than starting threads on the DL?
Hey, see you over there Cuntara! I'm sure we will!
Again.
Jake and another cute guy
If you missed it: Jake Gyllenhaal stopped by the Memphis Farmers Market yesterday for some cinnamon rolls from Shoafe's Loaf.!
Midtown Bike Co. Downtown Memphis
BTW #Jake Gyllenhaal was riding with #Blake Lovett of #Mumford and Sons. They rented a couple of #BMX Bikes to rip around #Downtown Memphis. Jake has a "Super Fan". Not long after my original FB post, which flows to my Twitter feed, this young lady approached me proclaiming she is Jake's biggest fan, and she has written a book about him and maintains a blog about her love 4 Jake. That's hardcore.
