It is not what I expected in a good way. A lot of light moments plus a lot of interesting family members (sort of like Silver Linings Playbook). A couple of cliche moments, but overall a good read. I'm surprised that we haven't heard about casting of the family member roles with shooting scheduled to start so soon.

I think Billy Hope knew exactly how to express his emotions, he had rage from childhood to adulthood. I think both characters Adam and Anthony were very different, one being closed off, meek and the other charismatic.<br /><br />From what I see of Demolition, the character has lost himself and is trying to find himself thru expression. He lost his wife and the guy is in the streets of NYC singing away. EOW the character was not at all dark, Everest the character was not dark at all. But it's telling about Jake's acting how those "dark" characters stay with people.<br /><br />On the other hand if Jake does do a comedy that same Dutch reviewer wouldn't he happy I don't think. <br />Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-71176807191598197352016-04-02T06:11:40.337-04:002016-04-02T06:11:40.337-04:00I was surprised the TIFF review was poor, actually...I was surprised the TIFF review was poor, actually - and it's not promising. Also, for some reason I had expected much more promotion (thanks Anon 9:13 and 10:38PM!). <br /><br />The Oscar and awards talk (once again) for Jake is flattering, but I agree the April release for 'Demolition' seems odd. No way people are going to remember his performance when awards season approaches, no matter how good he (or the movie) is. It's too bad how movie politics and poor marketing seem to get in the way of the success of a movie once more - but I guess that's how it works.<br /><br />I've read some other reviews (can't remember where), in which people say Jake's 'Demolition' performance was too much like some other characters he has played lately - the moody, "silent" type, who has trouble expressing himself (Loki? Adam / Anthony? Maybe even Billy Hope?) and that he should try to go for a different kind of role. I've even read Jake's acting was "boring as ever" (a Dutch festival review).<br /><br />Maybe that's part of it? Don't get me wrong, I love him moody and silent ;) , but could it be people are getting used to seeing Jake like this? Not everyone out there sees all of his movies or knows what Jake is capable of. The general public might even begin to think that moody and silent is the only thing he can do.<br /><br />That said - I'm looking forward to 'Demolition'.

It's a Vallee movie after all. When a distributor takes a prestige movie out of awards season it sends a bad message, even if it has nothing to do with quality but more to do with other interests. Like sharks, critics will attack when they smell blood in the water. By announcing it mid year, before TIFF, FS injured Demolition and sent it bleeding to the sharks. <br /><br />FS is a big distributor, with more $ they could've arranged for the taped talkshows to be aired closer to the release date. Or schedule more than one latenight talkshow for Jake. Conan's lineup for next days is weak. <br />It's not about Jake's schedule, it's about the distributor's marketing skills and budget. Usually FS doesn't lack the skills nor the budget.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-35248189695380899262016-04-01T22:10:17.187-04:002016-04-01T22:10:17.187-04:00Well anon at 9:13PM all that is probably true but ...Well anon at 9:13PM all that is probably true but the poor reviews in Toronto or Montreal (can't remember which) didn't help Demolition. The interviews Jake did could have been taped and aired this week or next week so I don't think you can blame it all on FS or Jake's filming schedule. I think it was a mistake to do promo against Batman week. <br /><br />Also during one of the Austin interview with Jake, the writer and the director Vallee, Vallee's biggest impression on me was that he loved working with Jake and he was glad "this fucking film was done". That kind of threw me into the idea that maybe Vallee didn't get to do what he wanted or edit what he wanted because FS may have gotten too much involved.

The extent of interviews and talkshows isn't an actor's decision, it's the distributor's based on how much $ they're willing to spend. Some actors like Jake go above and beyond to promote their movies if the distributor is game for. He will give interviews until he's deadtired, case in point EoW, NC, SP. Or Prisoners where Jake attended all Q&As while on pain medication from his NC hand injury. Other actors choose to do very little or nothing at all.<br />FS marketing budget for Demolition seems very small, only two pretaped Today appearances for Jake and one K&M for Naomi next week. By comparison, Universal will send Melissa McCarthy to Fallon, Colbert, Corden, Ellen and K&M.<br />FS abandoned Demolition last year when it should've been released. They betted all their $ on Youth and some change on Brooklyn. Demolition's biggest chances were for best actor, instead FS went for broke on Michael Caine. They lost and I took Youth's poor awards traction as poetic justice but poetic justice doesn't change the fact Demolition and Jake's chances were killed. <br />550 theaters is more than expected, FS may be trying to undo the damage done last year, but with so little marketing my only hope is by some miracle people will go see it and good WOM will help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-42129483880554184042016-04-01T17:48:59.465-04:002016-04-01T17:48:59.465-04:00Hi Hagen!

Watts is nicely low key and complements him well, while Cooper is still one of the most reliable performers there is. Lewis, in his feature film debut, is definitely one to watch as he poignantly navigates the role of a young man trying to define himself against unimaginable peer pressure. The script by Bryan Sipe resists the temptation to provide easy answers for any of these characters. If at one point it nearly falls prey to melodrama, it ultimately heads in unexpected directions. Don’t expect a pat ending either; this is the stuff of life.<br /><br />http://deadline.com/2016/03/demolition-review-jake-gyllenhaal-naomi-watts-jean-mark-vallee-video-1201729590/reviewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-10203994807716495072016-03-31T20:44:06.170-04:002016-03-31T20:44:06.170-04:00"I don't know what to make of a world whe..."I don't know what to make of a world where the 7AM class is not considered early."<br /><br />LOLOL!
