My enthusiasm for Jake Gyllenhaal‘s grinning, bug-eyed, awards-contending performance in Dan Gilroy‘s Nightcrawler led me to fork over $140 for a ticket to Nick Payne much-hailed Constellations, a two-hander in which Jake costars with The Affair‘s Ruth Wilson. It’s a short (70 minutes), head-trippy play about love and physics and endless parallel storylines co-existing in a shifty-eyed universe. And about Jake doing a deliciously spot-on British accent (a friend describes his patois as that of a “British Rastawannabe”) as a bee-keeper named Roland, and the British-born Wilson delivering a kind of sad and vibrant and open to all things routine, even in the face of death.
... Here’s how I put it to a friend earlier today:
“Excellent, touching performances by Jake and Ruth but the play, however brilliantly conceived, is a bit dicey. It’s basically a what-iffer that spends the entire 70 minutes trying on different moods and emotions and revealings this and that way, over and over and over. Two people inhabiting several voices, characters, permutations and fates. A kind of shuffling-the-deck, hopping-around, trying this on for size and then moving on type of deal. Spiritual, celestial, mathematical…almost a kind of board-game feeling.
“But the bottom line is that the swift stopping-and-starting-and-stopping-and-then-starting-up-again scheme, the sampling of one possible scenario to another to another to another and back again, interrupts the flow that people generally watch plays and movies for, and my response (and please take it with a grain) is a bit on the “hmmm” side.
“Constellations felt to me like more of an acting exercise than anything else, and for that I was generally delighted with both Jake and Ruth.” ...

Isaac Ezban @IsaacEzban 1h 1 hour ago #NIGHTCRAWLER - an absolute jem! The #TaxiDriver of the new millenium! Jake Gyllenhaal at his best.Great dark smart intense creepy character
There was a brief time when it seemed like Jake Gyllenhaal, one of the best actors of his generation, might get swallowed up into the Hollywood blockbuster machine that churns out dreck like 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. But when his would-be franchise failed to launch, Gyllenhaal went back to the kinds of indies that launched his career, putting out a series of impressive (and often overlooked) performances in End of Watch, Prisoners, and Enemy.
Impressive as those performances are, they feel like an appetizer for the feast he offers in Nightcrawler as the skin-crawling opportunist Lou Bloom. Bloom, a freelance crime journalist who sells gory footage to news outlets, is the year's most fascinating movie character. Gaunt and bug-eyed, Gyllenhaal plays Bloom as a sociopath who has spent his life internalizing every cliché about self-actualization and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. He's a pure sociopath, but he's found a language he can speak in the glib, buzzy jargon of middle-management and motivational speakers, and he uses his expertise to manipulate or destroy anyone in his way.
"What if my problem wasn't that I don't understand people, but that I don't like them?" he says in a blistering monologue near the end of the film. It's one of the only times Lou Bloom drops his act and lets you inside, and the chilling honesty of his warped worldview cuts straight to the bone. --Scott Meslow, entertainment editor

Karam knows DL fave Jake G. had to sacrifice a few things while adding 50 pounds of muscle for "Southpaw," in particular the use of his cock. All those 'roids left him with such a serious case of limpdick that even a max dose of Cialis couldn't do a thing to get him even partially hard. Keram knows Jake immediately started making up for lost time after filming ended, surprising more than a few Angeleno boys on Grindr when he showed up at their pads. (Like many on the app, he had only a shot of his torso on display.)
While I didn't buy the Henry Cavill/Jake story, this one might be a little different. Where does a story like this come from? I've heard of celebs being on Grindr before. And the muscle tone on Jake for Southpaw I am not buying as au natural. Jake has shown himself to be so desperate for an Oscar, who knows what he has done along the way in his quest.
So now I wonder if Tooth is cheating on Goose under his own nose? Jake was seen in LA after Southpaw finished filming if I recall right.
Who knows what kind of marriage Jake and Austin have at this point? Honestly we have no idea.
Yes, I believe Austin is watching the kids while Jake works. Yes, I believe Austin is bearding because of Jake. But does that mean their marriage is still strong? Nope, not as far as I'm concerned.
Austin deserves better. He seems to be the one sacrificing everything for that guy.
prairiegirl said... Clearly Jake is all about himself now. He's got one goal and that is to get an Oscar nom that will erase the Brokeback's nom.
The fact that Jake is putting his own career in front of his kids' welfare tells me that he is thinking only of himself now. So where does that put Austin? Austin has always seemed like a strong person to me but now he seems like a rollover when it has come to Jake.
Austin doesn't work outside of the home anymore. He never tweets. He follows his beard around like he has nothing else to do.
It's terrible to see what has happened to Austin ever since Jake got affiliated with Weinstein. I know he has likely gotten very close to his kids in this process and that is a great thing. But he has given up his entire career for Jake. How does Austin just give that part of his life up?
prairiegirl said... And since Jake and Austin likely got married in the state of California, then they can't divorce without it becoming public record.
So they're kind of stuck sounds like to me.
What did Ted say? He said that Toothy and Grey Goose's love story was headed towards tragedy.
I could see it coming a couple of years ago, just didn't realize it could happen this soon. Will be interesting to continue watching this all unfold.
--Jake is/was on steroids --Jake got married in California --Jake is cheating on Austin --Austin is stay-at-home mommy --Jake is selfish/self-centered who neglects his kids --J&A marriage is on the rocks
Of course she laps up the Keram gossip about Jake being on Grindr and having sexytime with other men because that would explain why J&A are never in the same city! But she doesn't believe the Henry hook-up from years ago because that when the sixty BTz were being cloned and Jake was in love with Austin. Makes perfect loon sense!!
Bitter OMG cows are so frustrated with Jake not being with Austin LOL
said...
Puttin' out said... Keram knows Jake immediately started making up for lost time after filming ended, surprising more than a few Angeleno boys on Grindr when he showed up at their pads. (Like many on the app, he had only a shot of his torso on display.)
Uh-oh. Harvey Weinstein's not going to like this very much. Of course, maybe that's how Jake is getting his nominations. Got to give a little to get a little, right Jakey?
Clearly Jake is all about himself now. He's got one goal and that is to get an Oscar nom that will erase the Brokeback's nom. The fact that Jake is putting his own career in front of his kids' welfare tells me that he is thinking only of himself now.
Crazy PG forgot her own claims. Now Jake working a lot means that he doesn't care about his kids. Before she was sure that Jake works a lot because he has 5 kids to feed, hide and send to college.
He's got one goal and that is to get an Oscar nom that will erase the Brokeback's nom.
Austin doesn't work outside of the home anymore. He never tweets. He follows his beard around like he has nothing else to do.
More obvious lies from retarded OMGer. Austin does work: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0629538/ Stupid PG forgot her own words again - according to her and other OMGers, Mgmt controls Austin's Twitter account and tweet in his name.
Austin did Nostradamus with Chloe, attends business related parties and events with Chloe, travels and spends holidays with Chloe - usual behavior for two actors who date.
Another interesting thing. PG knows everything about J&A marriage, kids, kids' birthdays, but she doesn't know where Jake or Austin live. She and OMGers avoid this subject like the plague. They hint and write insane rubbish like 'Jake and Austin are living in UK because in UK there are no paparazzi, no Internet nor people with mobile phones'. But for almost 3 years they do their best to avoid extremely painful subject of Jake moving to New York. Pretending and lying. So telling.

For years PG writes happy bullshit about J&A and "kids". She KNOWS what Jake and Austin are really doing. Only 2 days ago PG was tweeting about Jake and Austin spending Christmas together. But bit of Keram gossip is enough to undo all that and suddenly J&A "marriage" is on the rocks!?!?!? #LaughingMyAssOf
INTERVIEWER :You’ve said that the characters of Jack and Ennis from “Brokeback Mountain” were the first two characters that started to feel “very damn real” to you. Has it happened again since then?
PROULX: That was true of a number of the characters in Fine Just the Way It Is. But I think it happened with “Brokeback Mountain” because it took me so long to write that story. It took at least six weeks of steady work, which is not my usual pace. So yeah, they got a life of their own. And unfortunately, they got a life of their own for too many other people too.
INTERVIEWER: What do you mean?
PROULX: I wish I’d never written the story. It’s just been the cause of hassle and problems and irritation since the film came out. Before the film it was all right.
INTERVIEWER: Did people object to the fact that gay characters were in the center of a story about Wyoming?
PROULX: Oh, yeah. In Wyoming they won’t read it. A large section of the population is still outraged. But that’s not where the problem was. I’m used to that response from people here, who generally do not like the way I write. But the problem has come since the film. So many people have completely misunderstood the story. I think it’s important to leave spaces in a story for readers to fill in from their own experience, but unfortunately the audience that “Brokeback” reached most strongly have powerful fantasy lives. And one of the reasons we keep the gates locked here is that a lot of men have decided that the story should have had a happy ending. They can’t bear the way it ends—they just can’t stand it. So they rewrite the story, including all kinds of boyfriends and new lovers and so forth after Jack is killed. And it just drives me wild. They can’t understand that the story isn’t about Jack and Ennis. It’s about homophobia; it’s about a social situation; it’s about a place and a particular mindset and morality. They just don’t get it. I can’t tell you how many of these things have been sent to me as though they’re expecting me to say, Oh great, if only I’d had the sense to write it that way. And they all begin the same way—I’m not gay, but . . . The implication is that because they’re men they understand much better than I how these people would have behaved. And maybe they do. But that’s not the story I wrote. Those are not their characters. The characters belong to me by law.
INTERVIEWER: Did you get the same sort of reaction to your characters when The Shipping News was made into a film?
PROULX: No, I haven’t had the same sort of problem with anything else I’ve ever written. Nothing else. People saw it as a story about two cowboys. It was never about two cowboys. You know you have to have characters to hang the story on but I guess they were too real. A lot of people have adopted them and put their names on their license plates. Sometimes the cart gets away from the horse—the characters outgrew the intent.
I’m trying to exorcise them now, because Charles Wuorinen is doing an opera of “Brokeback Mountain.” And I’m working on the libretto, working on changes so I can finally get Jack and Ennis loose from my life.
INTERVIEWER: Were you tempted to say no to that project?
PROULX: I was, but then I figured that one of these idiots who loves happy endings would come along and start messing with it. I want to keep the story as it is. It’s a strong story and it shouldn’t be mangled into everybody lives happily ever after. Not that that could happen in an opera.

The Oscar for best actor will most definitely go to @SteveCarell in Foxcatcher or Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler.
I guarantee it.

Constellations Experience In The Mist
My enthusiasm for Jake Gyllenhaal‘s grinning, bug-eyed, awards-contending performance in Dan Gilroy‘s Nightcrawler led me to fork over $140 for a ticket to Nick Payne much-hailed Constellations, a two-hander in which Jake costars with The Affair‘s Ruth Wilson. It’s a short (70 minutes), head-trippy play about love and physics and endless parallel storylines co-existing in a shifty-eyed universe. And about Jake doing a deliciously spot-on British accent (a friend describes his patois as that of a “British Rastawannabe”) as a bee-keeper named Roland, and the British-born Wilson delivering a kind of sad and vibrant and open to all things routine, even in the face of death.
...
Here’s how I put it to a friend earlier today:
“Excellent, touching performances by Jake and Ruth but the play, however brilliantly conceived, is a bit dicey. It’s basically a what-iffer that spends the entire 70 minutes trying on different moods and emotions and revealings this and that way, over and over and over. Two people inhabiting several voices, characters, permutations and fates. A kind of shuffling-the-deck, hopping-around, trying this on for size and then moving on type of deal. Spiritual, celestial, mathematical…almost a kind of board-game feeling.
“But the bottom line is that the swift stopping-and-starting-and-stopping-and-then-starting-up-again scheme, the sampling of one possible scenario to another to another to another and back again, interrupts the flow that people generally watch plays and movies for, and my response (and please take it with a grain) is a bit on the “hmmm” side.
“Constellations felt to me like more of an acting exercise than anything else, and for that I was generally delighted with both Jake and Ruth.”
...

#NIGHTCRAWLER - an absolute jem! The #TaxiDriver of the new millenium! Jake Gyllenhaal at his best.Great dark smart intense creepy character
Domestic: $31,580,845 83.3%
+ Foreign: $6,316,000 16.7%
= Worldwide: $37,896,845
There was a brief time when it seemed like Jake Gyllenhaal, one of the best actors of his generation, might get swallowed up into the Hollywood blockbuster machine that churns out dreck like 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. But when his would-be franchise failed to launch, Gyllenhaal went back to the kinds of indies that launched his career, putting out a series of impressive (and often overlooked) performances in End of Watch, Prisoners, and Enemy.
Impressive as those performances are, they feel like an appetizer for the feast he offers in Nightcrawler as the skin-crawling opportunist Lou Bloom. Bloom, a freelance crime journalist who sells gory footage to news outlets, is the year's most fascinating movie character. Gaunt and bug-eyed, Gyllenhaal plays Bloom as a sociopath who has spent his life internalizing every cliché about self-actualization and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. He's a pure sociopath, but he's found a language he can speak in the glib, buzzy jargon of middle-management and motivational speakers, and he uses his expertise to manipulate or destroy anyone in his way.
"What if my problem wasn't that I don't understand people, but that I don't like them?" he says in a blistering monologue near the end of the film. It's one of the only times Lou Bloom drops his act and lets you inside, and the chilling honesty of his warped worldview cuts straight to the bone. --Scott Meslow, entertainment editor

From Datalounge:
Karam knows DL fave Jake G. had to sacrifice a few things while adding 50 pounds of muscle for
"Southpaw," in particular the use of his cock. All those 'roids left him with such a serious case of limpdick that even a max dose of Cialis couldn't do a thing to get him even partially hard. Keram knows Jake immediately started making up for lost time after filming ended, surprising more than a few Angeleno boys on Grindr when he showed up at their pads. (Like many on the app, he had only a shot of his torso on display.)
While I didn't buy the Henry Cavill/Jake story, this one might be a little different. Where does a story like this come from? I've heard of celebs being on Grindr before. And the muscle tone on Jake for Southpaw I am not buying as au natural. Jake has shown himself to be so desperate for an Oscar, who knows what he has done along the way in his quest.
So now I wonder if Tooth is cheating on Goose under his own nose? Jake was seen in LA after Southpaw finished filming if I recall right.
Who knows what kind of marriage Jake and Austin have at this point? Honestly we have no idea.
Yes, I believe Austin is watching the kids while Jake works. Yes, I believe Austin is bearding because of Jake. But does that mean their marriage is still strong? Nope, not as far as I'm concerned.
Austin deserves better. He seems to be the one sacrificing everything for that guy.
prairiegirl said...
Clearly Jake is all about himself now. He's got one goal and that is to get an Oscar nom that will erase the Brokeback's nom.
The fact that Jake is putting his own career in front of his kids' welfare tells me that he is thinking only of himself now. So where does that put Austin? Austin has always seemed like a strong person to me but now he seems like a rollover when it has come to Jake.
Austin doesn't work outside of the home anymore. He never tweets. He follows his beard around like he has nothing else to do.
It's terrible to see what has happened to Austin ever since Jake got affiliated with Weinstein. I know he has likely gotten very close to his kids in this process and that is a great thing. But he has given up his entire career for Jake. How does Austin just give that part of his life up?
How does Jake ask this of Austin? I just.......
wow.
-------------------------------------------------------------
prairiegirl said...
And since Jake and Austin likely got married in the state of California, then they can't divorce without it becoming public record.
So they're kind of stuck sounds like to me.
What did Ted say? He said that Toothy and Grey Goose's love story was headed towards tragedy.
I could see it coming a couple of years ago, just didn't realize it could happen this soon. Will be interesting to continue watching this all unfold.
December 29, 2014 at 1:45 AM
AMAZING how peegee knows SOOOOOOOOOO much about one actor's private life LMAO
Let's see what peegee knows that nobody else does
--Jake is/was on steroids
--Jake got married in California
--Jake is cheating on Austin
--Austin is stay-at-home mommy
--Jake is selfish/self-centered who neglects his kids
--J&A marriage is on the rocks
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
PeeG knows more than Keram knows!
Wow, that amount of stupidity and insanity ... PG is off her medications :)
Of course she laps up the Keram gossip about Jake being on Grindr and having sexytime with other men because that would explain why J&A are never in the same city! But she doesn't believe the Henry hook-up from years ago because that when the sixty BTz were being cloned and Jake was in love with Austin. Makes perfect loon sense!!

Uh-oh. Harvey Weinstein's not going to like this very much. Of course, maybe that's how Jake is getting his nominations. Got to give a little to get a little, right Jakey?
December 29, 2014 at 1:32 AM
Oh boy, PG sounds so desperate.
Keep floundering you crazy cow, LOL
Uh-oh. Harvey Weinstein's not going to like this very much. Of course, maybe that's how Jake is getting his nominations.
Fucking random men to get nominations?!? WTF???
Crazy PG is so angry about Jake getting recognition that she can't think straight.
peeG the insane cow
Please stop insulting cows!
Sorry cows! LOL :)
So now I wonder if Tooth is cheating on Goose under his own nose? Jake was seen in LA after Southpaw finished filming if I recall right.
LA? Is she saying that "husband" Austin lives in LA?
Yes, I believe Austin is watching the kids while Jake works.
So Jake had all those kids with Austin only to leave them in LA with Austin and live solo in New York. Makes sense, LOL
Yes, I believe Austin is bearding because of Jake.
Austin bearding or not has zero effect on Jake.
Media interest in J&A ended 7 YEARS AGO, fan interest in J&A ended YEARS AGO.
Away from the Broadway stage, Jake Gyllenhaal keeps close to Constellations costar Ruth Wilson on a Saturday walk through N.Y.C.
With Leo :)
Clearly Jake is all about himself now. He's got one goal and that is to get an Oscar nom that will erase the Brokeback's nom. The fact that Jake is putting his own career in front of his kids' welfare tells me that he is thinking only of himself now.
Crazy PG forgot her own claims.
Now Jake working a lot means that he doesn't care about his kids.
Before she was sure that Jake works a lot because he has 5 kids to feed, hide and send to college.
He's got one goal and that is to get an Oscar nom that will erase the Brokeback's nom.
Just another proof that PG is fucking moron.
Yes, I believe Austin is watching the kids while Jake works.
Ummm...OK
Austin doesn't work outside of the home anymore. He never tweets. He follows his beard around like he has nothing else to do.
Soz PG, Austin can't be in two places at once...either he is at home full-time with the kids or he is with Chloe.
AND we know that Austin has been seen with Chloe in many different cities, so you have contradicted yourself as usual LMAO
Austin doesn't work outside of the home anymore. He never tweets. He follows his beard around like he has nothing else to do.
More obvious lies from retarded OMGer.
Austin does work: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0629538/
Stupid PG forgot her own words again - according to her and other OMGers, Mgmt controls Austin's Twitter account and tweet in his name.
Austin did Nostradamus with Chloe, attends business related parties and events with Chloe, travels and spends holidays with Chloe - usual behavior for two actors who date.
He follows his beard around like he has nothing else to do.
PG forgot her own claims again - that Austin is full time family caretaker.
Another interesting thing.
PG knows everything about J&A marriage, kids, kids' birthdays, but she doesn't know where Jake or Austin live.
She and OMGers avoid this subject like the plague.
They hint and write insane rubbish like 'Jake and Austin are living in UK because in UK there are no paparazzi, no Internet nor people with mobile phones'.
But for almost 3 years they do their best to avoid extremely painful subject of Jake moving to New York.
Pretending and lying.
So telling.
Karam has stated in the past that while Jake is gay, Austin is not.
Keram knows DL fave Jake G. had to sacrifice a few things while adding 50 pounds of muscle for "Southpaw," in particular the use of his cock. ...

For years PG writes happy bullshit about J&A and "kids".

But bit of Keram gossip is enough to undo all that and suddenly J&A "marriage" is on the rocks!?!?!?
#LaughingMyAssOf
I'm willing to buy that Austin fucked Jake years ago to get ahead or for fun but his dominant sexual orientation seems to not involve men.

Poor OMGers are imploding
INTERVIEWER :You’ve said that the characters of Jack and Ennis from “Brokeback Mountain” were the first two characters that started to feel “very damn real” to you. Has it happened again since then?
PROULX: That was true of a number of the characters in Fine Just the Way It Is. But I think it happened with “Brokeback Mountain” because it took me so long to write that story. It took at least six weeks of steady work, which is not my usual pace. So yeah, they got a life of their own. And unfortunately, they got a life of their own for too many other people too.
INTERVIEWER: What do you mean?
PROULX: I wish I’d never written the story. It’s just been the cause of hassle and problems and irritation since the film came out. Before the film it was all right.
INTERVIEWER: Did people object to the fact that gay characters were in the center of a story about Wyoming?
PROULX: Oh, yeah. In Wyoming they won’t read it. A large section of the population is still outraged. But that’s not where the problem was. I’m used to that response from people here, who generally do not like the way I write. But the problem has come since the film. So many people have completely misunderstood the story. I think it’s important to leave spaces in a story for readers to fill in from their own experience, but unfortunately the audience that “Brokeback” reached most strongly have powerful fantasy lives. And one of the reasons we keep the gates locked here is that a lot of men have decided that the story should have had a happy ending. They can’t bear the way it ends—they just can’t stand it. So they rewrite the story, including all kinds of boyfriends and new lovers and so forth after Jack is killed. And it just drives me wild. They can’t understand that the story isn’t about Jack and Ennis. It’s about homophobia; it’s about a social situation; it’s about a place and a particular mindset and morality. They just don’t get it. I can’t tell you how many of these things have been sent to me as though they’re expecting me to say, Oh great, if only I’d had the sense to write it that way. And they all begin the same way—I’m not gay, but . . . The implication is that because they’re men they understand much better than I how these people would have behaved. And maybe they do. But that’s not the story I wrote. Those are not their characters. The characters belong to me by law.
INTERVIEWER: Did you get the same sort of reaction to your characters when The Shipping News was made into a film?
PROULX: No, I haven’t had the same sort of problem with anything else I’ve ever written. Nothing else. People saw it as a story about two cowboys. It was never about two cowboys. You know you have to have characters to hang the story on but I guess they were too real. A lot of people have adopted them and put their names on their license plates. Sometimes the cart gets away from the horse—the characters outgrew the intent.
I’m trying to exorcise them now, because Charles Wuorinen is doing an opera of “Brokeback Mountain.” And I’m working on the libretto, working on changes so I can finally get Jack and Ennis loose from my life.
INTERVIEWER: Were you tempted to say no to that project?
PROULX: I was, but then I figured that one of these idiots who loves happy endings would come along and start messing with it. I want to keep the story as it is. It’s a strong story and it shouldn’t be mangled into everybody lives happily ever after. Not that that could happen in an opera.
But bit of Keram gossip is enough to undo all that and suddenly J&A "marriage" is on the rocks!?!?!?
LMAO so true. Great observation!
PROULX: I wish I’d never written the story.
Bite your tongue!
