Ties that Blind

When they are both called to account, the indictment comes from George's deadhead younger brother, Terry (Jake Gyllenhaal), who returns from a year and a half of wanderlust to crash at their house, and forms a friendship with Anna. "That girl has been criminally fucking neglected!" Terry shouts.
As Gyllenhall superbly plays him, Terry is a bearded, feral soul, who sidles into view in a gray knit cap and a yellow T-shirt, at once heartbroken and hapless. "I, I. I fuck things up. And it makes me mad," he says. He's full of good intentions and bad advice. (He suggests to Anna that she tells her school tormentor "that if she gives you any more grief, I'll be taking shit on her doorstep for the next month and a half.") He can't mobilize thought; he is cluless--a state that is betrayed by his syntax. His sentences, like his life, have no direction or resolution. "Prb'ly shoulda rung or something, but," he says when he sees Anna (whom he addresses as "Hannah") for the first time. "Phone was fucked and I thought, by the time I've arsed around getting change for the fucking. You know the phone, and that, thought I might as well just."
(....)
Gyllenhaal parses every piquant note of Terry's paradoxical nature, keeping his danger and his decency in balance. In his unboundaried moments, Terry offers Anna beer, condoms, and a joint, and lets her slip out on a date, At other times, he seems to have a more adult purchase on reality. "What's y'daughter's favorite subject, George?" he asks his brother. "What's her favorite meal? Favorite film, favorite band. Any of it. Stab in the dark, George. Need to think about what y'doing."

Some fan on Twitter posted a fake endorsement of Romney from Jake and a few news outlets picked it up:

Viola Davis has joined the cast of "Prisoners," which also stars Jake Gyllenhaal, TheWrap has learned.
Davis, who was nominated for an Oscar for "The Help," also joins Paul Dano, Hugh Jackman and Melissa Leo in the thriller to be directed by Denis Villeneuve ("Incendies").
Written by Aaron Guzikowski ("Contraband"), the story revolves around a small-town carpenter named Keller (Jackman) whose young daughter and her best friend are kidnapped. After the cops fail to find them, Keller takes the law into his own hands, but in the process runs up against Detective Loki (Gyllenhaal), a hot-shot cop with confidence to burn.
Alcon's Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson are producing, along with 8:38 Productions' Kira Davis and Madhouse Entertainment's Adam Kolbrenner. Ed McDonnell and John Stark will executive produce.
Production is scheduled to begin in early 2013.

Jake Gyllenhaal in New York City spotted holding hands with a new female
friend on November 9, 2012.
Is there a new leading lady in Jake Gyllenhaal's life?
The actor was photographed holding hands with a mystery girl while going for a stroll in NYC Friday, Nov. 9. Gyllenhaal, 31, shared a few laughs with the brunette beauty as she held onto his arm.
The "End of Watch" actor is currently performing in the off-Broadway play If There is I Haven't Found it Yet. Sporting a full, scruffy beard, Gyllenhaal kept warm in a puffy black coat and hat during the walk.
He briefly dated Minka Kelly over the summer, but Gyllenhaal's last serious relationship was with singer-soongwriter Taylor Swift, 22, from October 2010 until January 2011.
Several songs on Swift's new album, Red, are rumored to be about her relationship with Gyllenhaal. "She's haunted by that relationship," a source told Us Weekly, adding that the actor "totally screwed with her mind."
For more on all of Swift's quest for The One -- and new details on her past relationship with Gyllenhaal -- pick up the new Us Weekly, out now!
