That bottom pic is new for me - do you know who the other people are?
Anytime I catch myself pressing my tongue to my upper lip pensively, or catch anyone else doing anything similar, I always think of Jake.
Hey Bud,
Unfortunately, I don't know what the context of the bottom pic is. I don't recall if that thread over at EJ included info about the context of the picture.
So, this habit makes me wonder if the gesture by Jack in BBM (in the main instance in the post-divorce scene, particularly) is really just a Jake-thing. Or, in other words I wonder how deliberate that tongue gesture was in the minds of the filmmakers/ in the direction given in that scene, etc. Or, maybe Jake did it subconsciously as part of his normal habit and Ang Lee liked it (or something like that).
