Jake Jake Jake!

Mikaela -

Will this poster help you decide about 'Zodiac'?   



I know it's a little goofy, but any excuse for a picture of Jake, right? 

[Mikaela]

LOL! Oh have no fear, I'd see that film no matter what reviews it got. I'm far from tired of Jake yet. (Slight understatement there). But thank you all for the comments and posters. It's good to hear that it works according to its (presumed) intention. Low-key is just my thing. I'm looking very much forward to it!

I thought Zodiac was a very, very good movie - well done, interesting, and suspenseful.  Jake, of course, was awesome in it.

October Sky is one of my FAVS!  Delightful, wonderful film.

Ah, yes, Jake does look fine in black.
Anyone know what model hat he's wearing and where I can get me one of those?

Oh My!
I just love a man in black!
Ecspecially that man!

Ok this is the Jakey thread, sure enuf, but the Gyllysister, Maggie, was over at Babbo's in NYC having dinner with some friends on Saturday.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is...one strange looking woman.

Not bad strange, no, not at all.  Her face is simply not the face of your conventional Hollywood beauty.

She has a strange face, a face you want to simply look at. An animated face. She is a beautiful woman if there  ever was one, yet nothing about her looks is conventional. She has one of those faces which  simply do not add up when you look at each feature individually...yet when you put all her facial features together the result, IMO,  is etherial beauty.

In person her face takes your breath away. Her face automatically brings to mind what the Greco-Romans considered to be the most beautiful statue in their world, the Aphrodite of Cnidos by the ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles.

AND she is extremely nice. Not a phony but pleasant 'social' sort of niceness, either; MG has the sort of genuine kindness which comes from inside, the sort of nice you can't fake.

Her authenticity comes through loud and clear.

I so agree about her face simply being a face you want to look at! I watched "Stranger than Fiction" the other day and I was completely mesmerised by her beautiful and one in a million face! She is an exceptional actress. And I can really recommend that movie BTW...

So did you meet her?

[ednbarby]

I looooooove Stranger Than Fiction, and I looooooooooooooooove Maggie.  I think I ate at Babbo once myself.  Is it right across the street from the Washington Square Hotel near NYU?

Do tell us about meeting her if you did!

Okay, I just saw THE PRESTIGE which came out last year.  The goatee/mustache photo of Jake reminded me so much of a younger Christian Bale. And it seems sorta a Jake movie.  Okay, I was reminded a bit DONNIE DARKO.  I was thinking Jake would have been great in THE PRESTIGE.  I wonder if he tried out for it.  Perhaps the director wanted an older person to play a worldy magician.  Anyway, check out the film and see if see the resemblence.

Impressed and intrigued, I Googled this statue of which you speak to see what it looks like.  Great statue, but I don't know, I think Maggie's face is a little more substantial:
