And I agree with you, Seaweed. Wholeheartedly. I actually fell in love with Jake when I saw him on Leno prior to that appearance for the very same reason you put so well. He just sealed the deal on Oprah, at the precise point in which he said "What're you gettin' at?" He was also particularly gracious in saying how he defers all compliments to Heath. There's none of that competitive bullshit with him. I doubt you'd hear Matt Damon say that about Leonardo DiCaprio in The Departed or any other actor with basically equal billing about his colleague in any other movie. Sure, they'll praise other actors for their performances, but not like that.
It also sealed the deal on my impression of Oprah. To say that she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed doesn't even begin to cover it. It makes me almost ill to think of the influence she has over so many people in this country. But then, we are Idiot America. And she's our queen.

I remember seeing that Oprah show, and while it was great to see the cast, I did too feel that Oprah's questions were downrigh silly....I got the impression she was trying to embarrass the boys with some of her questions...but, in true professional style, they stood up to the task, and didnt let her bother them....

I got to see my favorite cousin from New York last weekend she is very much into movies. She didn't especially like it, thought it was depressing, but that it was important. I guess my point is that after having seen Oprah I thoungt here questions were resonable given the context of the the show and that she is not a Brokie like us. Interesting the Jake said that neither might have dione the movie if they had known it would be so big, too intimidating.
