so it's offensive how Prisoners has at least six moments of creepy music + character sneaking up a hallway awaiting the next horror. Jackman is ridiculous.

whats wrong w/suspense
― Hungry4Ass, Friday, 17 January 2014 02:23 (ten years ago) link
suspense involving whether a kid is dead, tortured, or mutilated isn't fun for me these days; moreover, this fucking thing is almost three hours long w/out a single shot of Jake nude.

I liked Enemy, neo-Cronenbergian identity horror that shoots Toronto thru a piss filter (revenge of Quebecois Villenueve). People v divided by penultimate shot, I thought it was provocative punctuation. Both Jakes have awesome back muscles and chest hair.

Missed Alf's prompt.
DON: I love that picture, cause it's all rough tradey, and I imagine him topping me, his hard long cock thrusting into the soft folds of my ass...but I also imagine him strong, and quiet absorbing me in his arms, as I weep about the state of the world, and how there is not enough love in it. He is the only man I imagine topping me...I saw him once in TO last year, and he was as handsome, old fashioned in his taciturn tendencies, I didn't know how to say TAKE ME NOW, so I didn't.
GLENN: Damn, I knew we stayed over too long at Elton's for those overdubs.
DON: Well, yeah.

he got a rave from Ben Brantley in the NYT for the British play that opened on Broadway last night, Constellations. I had no idea it was alleged to be that good; anyway, it's only got a month to run and way too pricey for me.

Mark Harris appraises his career:
Gyllenhaal turned 34 in December, and it’s only in the last couple of years that I think he’s come into his own. This is, in part, a gender issue; we allow actors to grow differently from actresses. We want women to hit hard, and early. Julia Roberts was 22 when Pretty Woman opened; Emma Stone broke through in Easy A at 21; Jennifer Lawrence was romantically paired with Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale onscreen before she was 25. Women don’t get a decade to form themselves onscreen; they need to come ready, and a couple of missteps is all it takes to knock them back to Triple-A. We don’t demand that of our male movie stars; we set the bar lower — sometimes so low that all they have to do is not suck. When Jon Hamm and George Clooney were 25, they were not, in any meaningful sense, Jon Hamm and George Clooney. When Bradley Cooper was 25, he was going on auditions, hoping to get cast in Alias, and when Channing Tatum was 25, he … well, let’s check his résumé; he certainly stood out as “Boy In Church Scene (Uncredited)” in War of the Worlds.
So Gyllenhaal, who starred in his first movie (October Sky) at 18 and had secured cult-fame status by 21 (Donnie Darko) and an Oscar nomination by 25 (Brokeback), is, in some ways, an anomaly — he’s had a woman’s career, except that he’s in his mid-thirties and as far as I can tell, nobody is yet talking about his impending last fuckable day. And there’s no denying that he was given latitude to screw up in his twenties without significant penalty. I’m thinking in particular of two movies, Roland Emmerich’s mercifully all-but-forgotten enviro-disaster pic The Day After Tomorrow (2004) and Mike Newell’s absolutely-flat-out-forgotten Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010). Out of two dozen films, these two stand out as attempts to force Gyllenhaal into a wearily familiar studio movie-star template, almost as if someone said to him (or perhaps as if he said to himself) You’re young, you’re handsome, you look good with your shirt off — this is what you’re supposed to do now.

It's true that Jake's hit his stride but he still tries too hard.

apparently he was great w/ Ellen Greene in the concert staging of Little Shop.
