Hell, I'm the first voter, the only time that Heath has a chance to be ahead, and guess what - NO!! barb voted too. Well at least for a little while they'll be tied!
Heath is winning, where are all the Gyllenhaalics?
Barb,
Maybe you should make this a "mandatory" poll for all bettermost regulars. Let's have a show down on this just for the heck of it. ;)
We can have this poll pop-up when they log in and won't dismiss the page until they cast their votes. I bet you can code something to make this happen. ;D
I probably could. But that would require actual thinking.
Hi Barb:
would it be possible to make this poll:a mandatory poll for all the regulars? I think it's a damned shame that this poll wasn't created months ago at the dawn of the BBM phenomenon. It would be nice to garner as many votes as possible from all the Brokies, before it's too late....How Did Jack Die?http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=1575.0 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=1575.0)
whaddaya say hunh?
I guess Heath just requires a more rarified, esoteric taste! ;D ;)
I identify with Ennis, so that must mean I lust for Jake/Jack.
Here's my latest one: "Jake Lies."
I identify with Ennis, so that must mean I lust for Jake/Jack.
It doesn't always work that way, though. I do both for the same person. No wonder I'm unbalanced -- I'm a yin lusting for a yin!
And I'm a yang longing for a yang! Maybe we really do belong together, Katherine - after all, between us both, you see...
Staying true to myself as a person who hates making decisions and can never pick a favorite anything, I say I love them both! :P ;D
We'd certainly get along well on our double dates!
This was tough because I love them both, but truth is I haven't had a crush as hard as Jake since I was 12. Dammit he does it for me. :P
What, no more Heathens? Come on!! :o
Oh well, I guess we're just an elite group. As nakymaton recently pointed out on another thread, Annie Proulx seems to be one of us.
I guess this 2:1 ratio is what it has seemed like all along. I don't mind (much). I think if the poll question had been "Do you love BOTH Heath AND Jake, yes or no?" we would have had 100% "Yes!"
Yours truly,
Ms. Elle Heathen
I choose Jake. I do like Jake but it's Jack that I truly love. Isn't it weird?
Not at all! It sounds like you are 100% Gyllenhallic.
I'm a heathen myself. :)
You're a true Heathen, David.
Actually, I'm more of a Jack-ahollic than a Gyllenhaalic. I thought it was weird that I ended up liking the character Jack more than the actor himself. Anyone else have that problem of liking a character more than the actor? Don't get me wrong, I do love Jake too.
I've had that problem several times, though not with Jack/Jake. I did fall in love with Jack and will always love him. Ennis, too. But I fell in lust with Jake completely separately. And that all started actually after a few viewings of Brokeback, when I started seeing him do the talk show circuit and discovered what a lovely person he is - I had never seen him interviewed before Brokeback, so I had no idea. The first thing I saw him on was Leno, and he was an absolute DOLL. Confident without being arrogant, sharp as a tack, funny, warm, sweet, ... I could go on all day. Haven't been able to get him out of my head ever since. And don't really care to.
The characters/actors I've had that problem with, though, off the top of my head:
Will Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love - ADORE him. Joseph Fiennes, not so much
Will Hunting in Good Will Hunting - ADORE him. Matt Damon, not so much (though I do think he's a very talented actor)
Crash Davis in Bull Durham - LOVE him. CANNOT stand Kevin Costner - I think he's The Most Boring Man in America - perhaps the world
On the flip side, I adore Ralph Fiennes the actor and the person, but I'm not wild about any of the characters he's played.
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only person with that problem. I guess it could be a common situation and I see your point in your examples.
I guess the reason I love cute Jack so much is because I know him quite well and can relate to him. I do lust for Jack but I love him much, much more. And yes, Ennis too. As for Jake, I don't know much about him at all. I can understand why you fell in lust with Jake--most of us probably do. After all he is very handsome and charming, and he appear to be sweet and warm in interviews. But I know nothing else about him. I guess I love Jake because he's a good actor, good looking, and seems like a good person overall, but nothing deep like the way I feel about Jack Twist.
I swear there is something interesting going on up there in heaven because I've not only been having weird dreams but have been replaying parts of the movie in my head nonstop. And there is something in the air, particularly at night, like electricity, and the wildlife around my place has been going crazy, elk bugling, coyotes yipping, wild turkeys screaming, etc. etc. It's a zoo!!
The title of the most boringnest actor in the world is taken by Orlando Bloom, Barb.
So, did you get to see Broken Trail on TV with KC? If so, what did you think?
As a character I lusted more for Jack than Ennis. In person I would much perfer Heath over Jake. :P :P :P
But I would'nt turn either of them down believe me!! if one time in my life I could have a threesome it might be now Jake as Jack and Ennis as Heath..and of coarse me as me! : ;) ;)
Have U ever tried lucid dreaming, Barb? I recommend it highly!! I have a book called The Dream Game which tells how to do it, and I got a few others from the library. You just have to train yourself. Once U do, you'll enjoy bedtime much more, I promise! And Jake will be visiting U as often as U want!!
No, but it's funny you mention it - one of my girlfriends who came over to watch BBM last Friday got talking about it when we were chitchatting (for literally hours) afterwards. She told us about a dream she had about a month ago that was so disturbing, I still get a chill just thinking about it. At the point where the (very) bad guy had her cornered, she said, "Normally in dreams like that I turn on one of my superpowers and start flyling or something." She said it so matter-of-factly and I was like, "Whaaa???" She said, "You know - that active or lucid dreaming, where you *control* what happens to you." My oldest brother has said he does it all the time, too, so he can fly any time he wants to.
Hell, screw flying. I just want Jake to visit me. *eg*
I am a proud Gyllen-eathen! ;D Try and stop me! :P
Like Larz says...it's the eyes!
25% to 50%!!, The Heathens are really outnumbered by the Gyllenhaalics! What's that all about?
