After I say this: I'm currently watching The Tourist, which is a terrible movie with beautiful scenery. Depp is awful in it; Jolie fares better. I'd love to see Jake make a thriller in this vein, but with a better script.<br /><br />About Comic Con, I thought it was kind of cute that AG dressed up like Spiderman, but I didn't see it.

He was better even than Jesse Eisenberg, IMO. But it still stings.<br /><br />LG, Source Code did pretty well, especially overseas. But yeah, it could have been a bigger hit, considering critical acclaim and viewer reviews. It wasn't released at the best time, but it would have gotten buried in the summer. Would have been nice to see a fall release.<br /><br />I'm curious which play Horton Foote wanted Jake to film, also.

What are your memories of him?"<br /><br />"Oh, I adored him. I used to say to my husband, “[Foote] is so underappreciated,” and he said, “He’s got two Oscars and a Pulitzer Prize. What do you want them to do?” [Laughs.] <br />"This is a fun story: I’ve known Jake Gyllenhaal since he was three years old because he was best friends with my nieces. We were doing Donnie Darko in 2000, the summer I did the play, and the casting director asked if I could get Horton and Jake together because Horton wanted Jake to do a movie of one of his plays. So I put together a dinner party in 24 hours with Horton and [daughter] Hallie Foote, Jake Gyllenhaal and Maggie Gyllenhaal. When I opened my door and Horton Foote was standing on my front porch, I thought I had died and gone to heaven!"<br /><br />(Horton Foote wrote the screenplay for To Kill A mockingbird. Also a highly acclaimed playwright.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.broadway.com/shows/tricks-devil-taught-me/buzz/157336/whats-up-beth-grant-the-film-and-tv-scene-stealerbobbyannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-12616291133912424252011-08-12T07:52:35.753-04:002011-08-12T07:52:35.753-04:00I think Jake may be becoming more proactive regard...I think Jake may be becoming more proactive regarding the roles that he ends up playing. We all have heard how he became attached to SC and how he pushed for Duncan to produce. Well that turned out to be a perfect match, SC was a hit and Colter is one of his best roles since Jack Twist.<br /><br />I didn't know that Gosling turned down GL, a good thing he did.

As if there was a part of his personality missing. <br /><br />When I consider Tommy Cahill, Douglas Freeman, Jamie, Swoff, they have flaws, but they're layered, too. He brings out their humanity, as if he's saying no one's completely bad. <br /><br />Right now, I'm just in love with Jake's SC character. Those scenes in the pod were so powerful, and so understated. Duncan's a fine director, but that movie would never have been a success without Jake.<br /><br />I'd love to see Jake/Clooney work together, UV. Loved Michael Clayton, too sass.

I think this is occurring because many people thought he would be a success after Green Lantern.<br />Remember when Terry Gilliam says he got $$$ for Dr. Parnassus saying that Heath would be great Batman after TDK?<br />In fact, I don't want to see Jake in another blockbuster soon. I'm liking the idea of him returning to the indie films. Despite the fact that I'm not very happy with EOW.<br />And of all the actors mentioned, in my opinion, Ryan Gosling has the better career. The films he's doing is low-budget or promising, unlike the others. They are also more challenging.<br />And he said no to Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp. Smart guy.<br /><br />Someone talked about making the roles Jake of Ryan Gosling. I think he would have been great in Lars And The Real Girl.<br />If you have not seen it, see. It's a very very good movie.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770238465259468762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-12841357515538566742011-08-11T23:40:35.816-04:002011-08-11T23:40:35.816-04:00Sorry you can't see ten vid, Mary.

I will not mention names:)I went with my son to see Planet. It was not good except, Andy Serkis's portrayal...his eyes, his sensitivity, his intensity, and yet, I have to ask, why make POTA again? Charlton H. did it well and that should be it.<br />Jake does have power in Hollywood; he was in possession of the SC script and I think he chose the director, Duncan Jones, who may be his preferred Director, as is Ang Lee, whom he mentioned in the same breath as Duncan. Maybe he and Duncan will become the new Scorsese and DeCaprio, or better... <br />I am glad he isn't in the movie with Clooney and Ryan G., and I like Ryan...both Ryans:)<br />I saw the Clooney movie trailer today when I went to see The Help, (which has fantastic acting from Viola D and cast) and it reminded me of other movies I've seen of that genre...but who knows. <br />Often if I'm in pain...no biggie for me...I have to have another go at the movie for it to register... <br />Not a good movie like SC of course, but a mediocre movie oh yeah. I can't focus and sometimes will tune it out. Well, I almost tuned out the Clooney movie trailer today...I feel for Ryan.<br />I may be wrong...I hope so for his benefit.<br /><br />I like Clooney, but he is not going to star in a movie with a younger, more handsome leading man, with nearly his coloring with gorgeous blue eyes...just my opinion, not meaning to upset my fellow babblers. Michael Clayton is one of my fav movies and it's the only other DVD I bought this year, other than SC, and I got it off the $5.00 table. Jake's incredible talent will out.<br />(((((Monica)))))) ((((((Bobbyanna))))))<br />(((((((UV))))))))))<br />love you babblers all,<br />sasssasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511885212422330152noreply@blogger.com
