I was hesitant in posting that last post.  I hope no one perceives me being critical of Jake.  That's not my intention at all.  I'm really more concerned for him.  Really, I like Jake and Heath exactly equally... and somehow having Jake out of the picture at the moment is just plain hard for me.


The more I think about it, the more moving it seems that Heath's cinematic legacy is forever bound to Jake.  There's just no way around that.

I was feeling the same way for a while, but I've come to accept that Jake will do is grieving in his own way.  Im sure eventually we will hear something from him.. 

I like the point you make that jake didnt want to take the spotlight during this time of mourning by Heath's family..

I also must say, that as a one time devout Gyllenhaalic that over the past year Ive truly become very much appreciative of all that is Heath..

I like the point you make, and correct me if I am wrong, but you said that maybe Jake wanted to stay out of the way maybe not have the spot light on him in this time of mourning for Heath's family.

Yes, I think that's definitely one possibility.  I mean, Jake probably knows that his emergence on the scene would cause a lot of attention to be shifted his direction.  So, maybe on some level this is part of what's going on. 

I think Jake probably understands how the publicity surrounding things like this works very well and I would guess that on some level he's trying to be very careful and prudent on how this is handled.

Frankly, I think it has more to do with his work schedule - they are trying to wrap a film and last week was the final week of shooting.  He would not have been able to attend the funeral and meet the shooting schedule.  Film productions are extremely demanding, and he may have had to get back to it or cost the production a great deal of money.

Yes I agree, and Jake having grown up in Hollywood, among famous people all his life, Im sure he is/was doing whats best for now.    Very interesting.. I must admit, that at first I really thought, wtf is up with Jake?  where is he, but you've made sense of it all.

I'm curious about where folks are getting their reports about Jake's movie shooting schedule.  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?

LOL!  I still feel like wtf is up with Jake?!   I truly think it's odd that he's missing in action.  I think it truly, truly, truly will/ would be odd if he never makes a statement or gesture.

I'm just thinking out loud here in these posts.   In a way, I feel like I'm trying to talk my way into feeling better about my confusion about what's going on with Jake.

Im sure that eventually we will hear something from the Jakey camp. 

Not to be disrespectful on Jake's own thread, but in my mind the day of and after and after that, I was thinking about where he was, and Steve pinpointed what i was thinking in my mind was that Jake was being the "Crown Prince of Hollywood"  I dont believe that now.

Yes, I'm sure something will eventually come to light from Jake.  It's almost inevitable.

I hope he makes the gesture that feels right to him in his heart in the most genuine way.  Jake seems like such a warm person, I really tend to believe the reports that he's probably taking this very hard.  I mean, if we're taking it hard... he must certainly be.

I'm sure, on the other hand, in terms of Hollywood "image", he's probably quite aware that this long absence/silence is becoming it's own issue and won't want to come across as abrupt or dismissive of this major, major situation. 

See... I'm still trying to talk myself into some kind of acceptance or understanding of what's going on.
