Today, I met both old and new Brokeback friends in London. We retrod our footsteps from the BAFTAs in February this year and remembered Jake Gyllenhaal's success at those awards the year before. So, let's revisit the BAFTAs in 2006, where, not only Jake, but also Brokeback Mountain, found reward. It's also fun to look back and watch Jake presenting his first award at the event.
Great new pics of Jake and Reese.

Morning all :) Hope everyone had a good night. Thanks for the link Anon - I like the one with the dog :) I could certainly deal with one of those cups of coffee right now...
ReplyDeleteImportantly, WDW, will that be the only time we'll see Matt Dillon and 'Ron Weasley' in the same frame?
ReplyDeleteYesterday was great and funny (thanks Ruby and Tammy too!). Also some poignant moments remembering the extreme bonding experience that was BAFTA 2007.
Hey Anouska! One of the downsides of BAFTAs 2006 was that flippin Matt Dillon ket popping up and I cannot stand him - so there you go. Said it now - no doubt he's a fave of your's!
ReplyDeleteIt was just great yesterday - I can never thank Jake enough for attending the BAFTAs in 2007 - life-changing in more ways than one *)
I like Matt Dillon. :) fwiw
ReplyDeleteThought you might, fwiw ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't call him a fave exactly, though I thought he was excellent in that movie C***h.
ReplyDeleteYou know my faves :D Austin, Wentworth and Matt (Damon). And I quite like that Jake too :)
Hey Ruby* Is this our play-thread now, d'you think?
We could talk about Steve Coogan now! Or Rob Brydon? Or Aguirre?
ReplyDelete:D:D
Hey Anouska - Matt (Damon)'s grown on me lately. Steve Coogan's all right. I never saw Prison Break so my Wentworth knowledge is zilch. Not doing very well am I? I do like Jake though... ;) Oh, you noticed.
ReplyDeleteYou might have mentioned it in passing :)
ReplyDeleteAnd my numero uno guy Austin? ;)
Rob, Steve and Aguirre weren't serious questions, though I do think Steve's a genius; possibly not a nice one if we are to believe rumour.
Hey Ruby* Is this our play-thread now, d'you think?
ReplyDeletelooks that way, although we should maybe bump it up a post or two before we get left behind.
I like Wentworth. He's cute. Don't like Steve Coogan. He annoys me.
hmm Austin......*strokes chin thoughtfully*
I have my answer, Ruby - I just saw the cutie-pie pic you posted on DC ***
ReplyDeleteWill WDW come back and find us/scold us or can we just keep playing? Can we get Pia and Tammy over here?
Hmmmm Austin? Not bad, I suppose. But what about the other kid in TDAT, RJ - whatever happened to him?
ReplyDeleteSteve Coogan could be bad. Is this a good time to say I like Richard Hammond on Top Gear (and his birthday is the same day as Jake's)
I can see you!
ReplyDeleteWDW knows all and sees all.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened to the other kid. I only have eyes for mine :D
Hammy's too tiny to interest me ;) Did you know he's a gay icon?
The pic was special for you Nousk. *
ReplyDeleteok I admit I have quite a collection now. He's cute. And tall. I like cute and tall.
wdw - that was creepy - you have a webcam in my house or something? :D
Don't you get at the Hamster Anouska! I like cute and tall too but hairy and dark!!
ReplyDeleteRuby - put that cat down this instant!
Now I have to hanlde the cat that way. The spoilt little hobbit has to have her paws bathed twice a day at the moment - vets orders. :D
ReplyDeleteSorry that was off topic. errrr, jake is great, what was this post about again?
Oh yeah Bafta. Actually Bafta 2006 was an important moment for me - made me go back to the cinema the following day and watch BBM again. Alone. Felt wretched afterwards, worse than the first time. It was at Leicester Square and they were clearing up from Bafta. I remember it well.
OMG Ruby that's so sad :( If only we'd got together then and not waited another year. It was a special moment for me too as I swore I would be there at the next Baftas.
ReplyDeletePoor cat... Jake is great! That would be such a good name for a cat...
Ruby, that's extreme masochism :(
ReplyDeleteI just remember the feeling exactly a week later, oh dear.
WDW, I'd never get at dear Hammy, just couldn't go for a guy I could carry under one arm :D
I remember that the week after the Oscars, my cinema brought back all the candidate films, which meant I had a week to get in as many viewings as possible.
ReplyDeleteCan't help chuckling at that one, Anouska! Which reminds me, he's on TV in 5 minutes. Might watch that before another Zodiac viewing - can't get enough of that at the moment.
I need to dash for punctuation class. We're doing question marks tonight ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm one Vernaccia in. How are you all doing?
With hindsight, yes it was masochism. But at the time I'd only seen it the once and it wouldn't get out of my head and leave me alone. I thought another viewing would set me right and I could forget about it. Huh. That worked well. : /
ReplyDelete:D I'm trying a Californian Sirah tonight (I take it, you're talking vino here?!) I am thinking about having a Blue Margarita though to practice for tomorrow - did I mention it's my birthday tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but it was a good thought Ruby - we all had to try and deal with this thing and it wasn't easy
ReplyDeleteAre you still intent on the blue birthday drinks, WDW, 'cos I can't think of one I could drink. May I have a yellow one instead?
ReplyDeleteOh, BBM, I was mixing up my BAFTA years. I was destroyed for five months after BBM.
A yellow drink? Sounds yucky...
ReplyDeleteI remember after our Baftas though that the week afterwards was so hard, and then the month anniversary. I felt much better after we all met up again and talked it through! The thing about TIFF and Rome is that I don't feel like I've talked them through. Today's post has helped though.
The TIFF post is lovely - I hope you get all the TIFFers calling in later to reminisce.
ReplyDeleteI just changed channels and a random holiday advert came on for California. It's a sign! A sign, I tell you!
Beginning second glass. I love being off work :)
Thanks *) I hope so too but I think a lot of people are away at the moment. I hope they catch it when they get back.
ReplyDeleteIt is great not working, I'm just finishing off my first glass and getting ready for no 2!
I love that California ad - you know what it's telling you ;)
Maybe I'll have a G&T
all the leaves are brown
ReplyDeleteand the sky is grey
I went for a walk
on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A..........
don't mind me, just singing to myself.
I appear to have no drink :/ oh mistuh Rooooby........
Dang I missed that post Ruby, I'd've harmonised ;D.
ReplyDeleteYou're getting all harmonised and harmonical and here I am watching a programme about two men driving across the Arctic Sea while drinking G&Ts. Sorry to lower the tone.
ReplyDeleteI've finished my glass of sirah, so do I have more of the same or a Bloody Mary or something with Tequila?
More of the same; don't mix.
ReplyDeleteAll right then, I'll have a second of the same and then I'll switch :D
ReplyDeleteOn a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
ReplyDeleteWarm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night...
sorry, singing again, just can't help myself..
isn't it dangerous drinking and driving in the Arctic? :D
Stoppit Ruby, I'm in pain - I used to love the Eagles :)
ReplyDeleteThat spam on your TIFF post, K - is it Spanish, Portuguese or Esperanto? I know it's not rude anyway. Feel free to delete me there.
Ruby - you're so lyrical tonight - did you get a drink off Mistah Rubee? Apparently there are no drink driving rules in the middle of the Arctic Sea and there are no roads. But they also fell asleep at the wheel for a while and that didn't look good either.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's a colita anyway?
I've left you and got rid of them as you were funny and they were Tweeble ;)
Top Gear is over, I need Jake stuff...
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
ReplyDeleteTook a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel...city of night
ok, I'm done with the singing, I'm getting a sore throat and the neighbours might complain.
a colita is...I dunno what a colita is, momma never explained it to me. Neither did the Eagles.
Well, that's a shame, 'cos I was enjoying it. Also I couldn't really hear it as I'm playing The Who full blast.
ReplyDeleteWhat with the Who and Jurassic Park 3 (who got that far?) and guys driving through the Arctic I worry about WDW at times. Have a great near and real birthday, WDW!
ReplyDeleteDon't sing that one Ruby, you'll get hoarse :)
Nite **
I'm listening to the Tommy soundtrack - don't ask me why, I just felt like it. It must be this Sirah - I've not drunk this wine before and its effects are unpredictable. I have eclectic tastes! I also like dinosaurs - I am an archaeologist after all, with a palaeontological bent. And I like cars, OK? And I like ice... (but not in drinks).
ReplyDelete'Nite *)
Don't get defensive :D I love dinosaurs too and enjoyed Jurassic Park. I just don't know anyone else who got as far as 3 :D
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to 4 next year! Mr WDW just tuts and raises his bushy eyebrows.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading that Jake's worst subject at college was dinosaurs - strange that. I wish I'd been taught about them, rather than about rocks and crops.
I need a Jake movie to watch. As I don't have a film of Jake as Indiana Jones I'll settle for Zodiac :D
Don't sing that one Ruby, you'll get hoarse :)
ReplyDeletebut I do a great Jim Morrison impression. :D
Night A, :D
Don't talk about Jim Morrison, Mr WDW has just loaded all these Jim Morrison tunes on his phone as his ring tones and makes me keep ringing him just so he can dance to his phone... Are you going to bed too Ruby? Surely no...
ReplyDeleteno, I was just saying night to A. I'll be around for a bit yet.
ReplyDeleteDon't you like Jim? I do.
Oh goodie - No, I like Jim, especially 'People are Strange' and 'Riders on the Storm'. I've gone off 'LA Woman' as that's the ringtone of the day.
ReplyDeleteHey, y'all! Reminds me of my salad days when there was a party the word got around. maybe everybody's gone to bed by now. drinkin' with you guys at four in the afternoon is gonna make a lush outta me. and then you all go to bed.
ReplyDeleteRuby: "I went for a walk
on a winter's day I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.........."
Smog! There's no "there" there - ! Of course I had my heart broken in Santa Monica, and sat in a movie theatre for about three days crying non stop. but I never could find "L.A." and left for San Francisco on the morning train.
No heart break with Jake! No need to put on the brakes!
In the meantime, Ive got a dozen wee paper umbrellas on toothpicks (they're awful cute the way you open them and fasten them open with a little plastic ring) which Ive put all over my house, and I guess I'll stick one in a slice of lime tomorrow in my tequila and blue curaco. what is this thing called love, anyway?
Hey Pia! You heard us :D I fear Anouska's sleeping it off, but Ruby could be around still. I'm watching the end of Zodiac :D I'm up to the bit where Graysmith has ruffled hair and stubble - :P
ReplyDeleteThat's bad about Santa Monica. I had an experience there too. I lost a car and it took me a long time to find it and when I did it was outside the Urth cafe. You would have thought I'd've remembered that. I had a good walk though and had lunch on the pier.
Your umbrellas sound great - I have blue caracao and tequila ready to go too. :D
Hi PIA, you just caught me before I head bedwards. :D
ReplyDeletehave a nice evening. I'll be singing of California over the next few days.
sitting on the dock of the bay....watching the tide roll away...
Pia - you've set Ruby off again. I think this is Ruby's way of saying that she wants to go to sunny California :D
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was in California spending a few hours by an elephant seal beach - do you know any songs about that, Ruby?
It's the scarey bit of Zodiac now...
