Jake Gyllenhaal - C or D?

not so nice but also not so interesting either. and wrong, he looks fantastic in the photos.

it does look like an in flight mag cover though

Discussing BBM a decade (!) later. He sounds far smarter and more self-assured than he ever did.

from that southpaw movie & training, he should fight mike b Jordan from creed irl on ppv

in leather thongs

Good interview, and I like a lot of what he had to say, but I have to wonder if BBM can ever be spoken about with anything but awed reverence.

I was pretty bored by it. Ang Lee is boring in general.

it does seem like a lot of the discourse around the film has more to do with its particular cultural moment and less to do with it as an actual film or as part of a continuum of films about gay people.

It's a period piece.

Confirmed on a mass cultural scale that women love gay slash.

apparently women and gay men love retro lesbian stuff, hence the dullish and rewarded Carol

to Broadway w/ Sondheim

He needs it after giving the worst movie performance of his career.

why don't you come up and go with me?

and has anyone heard him sing?

IF it runs thru spring, maybe! I'm planning a trip to Gotham then.

He sang a Dreamgirls tune on SNL a decade ago. He's more in tune with nudity.

i didnt see the movie but it dawned on me that its kinda audacious to portray a titular southpaw boxer as i presume a righty?

it runs Feb 11-Apr 23; don't give me 'a decade ago', i'm sure he's had some training since.

watched southpaw, jake is convincing mostly, fight scenes and otherwise although its so quickly cut that its a bit hard to tell @ times; his inward mumbling even in press conferences is good, betrays his lack of confidence & orphan background; the music is v bad and of course his role was orig written for eminem ~o_o~

I didn't understand why that movie needed to be made
other than for me to learn about the "philly shell" I guess

directed by antoine fuqua, written by kurt sutter, i took a hard pass

I saw Nocturnal Animals recently. Loved it immensely. But he holds no sexual appeal to me. :-( Well, he does but not in a movie stqr way.

Ben Brantley, NYT:

“Mr. Gyllenhaal translates the intensity that has characterized his most memorable screen appearances (including Brokeback Mountain and Nightcrawler) into a searing theatrical presence, in which his eyes are his center of gravity. He embodies one of Seurat’s favorite artistic dictums, ‘concentrate,’ with an unwavering focus that seems to consume and illuminate the dark.

“Mr. Gyllenhaal invests every note he sings with the rapt determination of someone trying to capture and pin down the elusive. Watch Seurat at work, dabbing specks of color on his canvas, and listen to the vigor (and rigor) with which he invests the repetition of those colors’ names.”

I'd love for him to pin me with rapt determination.

I can't

he's not nude in it

Seurat does get down on all fours and bark at one point, though.

he's kinda terrible in Okja, in a prom king tries to be class clown way

http://static.celebuzz.com/uploads/2016/07/gyllenhaal-okja-july18-01-lead-620x413.jpg

is he worse than in Nocturnal Animals?

(I have the screener sitting on my table and can't muster the enthusiasm, not with The Square also beckoning)

I wouldn't get too excited abt The Square

at 142 minutes it's hard

I haven't seen Nocturnal Animals, cuz i read the reviews, and refuse to watch any more of the fashion-designer's oeuvre.

Okja is worth seeing though, I never thought there'd be a film where a 'dual Tilda Swinton performance' would please and not terrify me.

also here's a pillow design for Alfred:

I need to check out Okja if for no other reason than several of the cast were staying at the same hotel I was in for a conference while they were filming in Seoul, and I was unintentionally a dick to Paul Dano.

this was one of the first Dano performances I enjoyed

gyllenhall is hilarious in okja

oh Brad, what're gonna do with you? :)

that's a long wait

Jake will do that.

i'll agree with you on dano morbs. he also had to deliver the clunkiest dialogue in the movie

I liked The Square even though it seriously loses steam after the 100-minute mark or so

I think Matt Seitz got it right in his otherwise-rave of Okja:

"Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as a hypocritical nature TV celeb is the only flat-out casting disaster. Jim Carrey-style clowning is not, to put it mildly, this actor's most comfortable mode, and his fidgety, braying, often mincing performance is so misjudged that it destroys scenes that should have been unsettling or touching."
