I do not have the link now but I did click on it a couple of days ago so it is... somewhere around here. The site was the City of Los Alamos and it listed locations where filming was happening for the last several days.

That was me. Here it is:

Filming in Los Alamos wraps today, as a matter of fact; - here's a link that gives more details: http://www.losalamosnm.us/index.asp?Type=B_PR&SEC={E2383F39-DD36-4B5A-989C-3D677CC73A43}&DE={F878B67B-D2CE-4042-B5BA-B225D8215274}

The Godparent thing has next to no practical consequence in Norway. If people do baptize their kids, as a number of people are still wont to do if they belong to the state church and their elderly genration thinks it would flout tradition not to do it, then there are several godparents. The godmother who holds the child while it is being baptized first among them. That's considered an honour for her - and the others too, but the only practical implication is that they have to remember thee kid with presents at X-mas and birthdays. They promise at the baptism to see to it that the child is brought up in the Christian belief, but that has turned into an empty phrase by now, and godparents have no part nor say in a kids' upbringing specifically because they are godparents. Not even should the child's parent / parents die. Though they may take a part if they're also close relatives of the child of course.

I've heard over and over again that the filming is halted. And, then I've also heard that it's going again. Where are the reliable sources that report on these things?

Jake's fansite wetdarkandwild.blogspot.com can confirm that last week they were shooting and on Sunday they finished. Jake was also seen on Thursday having a drink with some cast members.

"Zodiac"
I had the "Zodiac" DVD on my wish list for Christmas, but with one thing and the other I've not had time to pop it into the player before yesterday.
I did watch the film at the cinema back in the day, and was impressed - with the recreated mood and environments of the time, the strong ensemble acting, etc. But the DVD opened up my eyes AGAIN to what an amazing film this is and what a perfect act Jake delivers in it, and what a strong presence he has.
I absolutely love his geeky, shy, insecure, curious-turned-intense-turned-obsessive, driven to the point of possession cartoonist. The nervous energy, the single-minded focus that's taking the character commpletely over, the inability to "let be" - those scenes towards the end, where he visits the mysterious cinema guy in his spooky house, - eep! the first date with his second wife,- LOL! The scene where he talks it all through with Mark Ruffalo's character etc. All so great, yet also subtle, underplayed, - the haunted eyes, the near-desperation!
It's fantastic! And so is the entire film. I was forcefully reminded why Zodiac kept popping up in "Best of the year" lists even when it didn't get much, awardwise. And Jake is amazing in it.

This link has a single sentence item on Jake being spotted with friends at a Rufus Wainwright concert - no other details.

It finally snowed in Pittsburgh yesterday and today! Yeehaw! We've mostly only had rain and cold for the last several months.
So, in my internet image ramblings, I came across this and it made me smile. :)
