Jake in Stripes - Beverly Hills medical centre, 21 January

After a day of strong emotion, all mixed up with the bittersweet flavour of the Oscar nominations, it's good today to take a moment and enjoy the sight of Jake Gyllenhaal in stripes. With thanks to IHJ, here are pictures of Jake leaving that very familiar medical centre in Beverly Hills on Wednesday 21 January. Yet again, Jake continues to pretend he is still in chilly London with The Beanie but, to compensate, he grants us a glimpse of The Chesthair, for which I am truly grateful.







Thanks to IHJ for the pictures, where you can find many more.

I know I missed many of you on the last post but I wanted to say a thank you for that beautiful tribute to Heath, WDW. A big ((())) to everyone here and to Heath's family and friends. It is a tribute to him that he received the Oscar Nom today. Can't believe it has been a year...heartbreaking.

Seeing these pics of Jake really helps though. He seems to be thinking of Heath with the striped shirt and beanie. (((Jake)))

Btw, also wanted to say how overjoyed I am about Obama's inauguration. What an incredible couple of days. Feels like the world has changed for the better.

I missed this place!
It has been a tough January for me, WDW. My Dad passed away last Sunday, my daughter have had a surgery last Friday, my husband went to the hospital last night...
but I'm a strong gal, you know? Seems like I just can't be weak when everyone around needs me, right? So I will survive.

It's so wonderful to get here after all that and see (call me crazy) Jake's hands. I can't say why, truly, his hands calm me down. Actually I'm here for Jake's hands tonight. Thank you for having them in this post.

Atti, tell daddy Monica O needs a big picture of his hands in order to survive 2009, will you? Just send it over. I'll pay the FedEx. ;)

xoxo

He looks so tall and lean in these pictures. I just wish he could lose the glasses and beanie. But I too am grateful for the chest hair. Prayers for Monica Other.

Love the shirt :) I like Jake in Red :)

All these medical check, maybe he's on a special fitness regime and has to check it's progress?

Miserable day outside...

Carol said...

Good morning.

I hope everyone is ok after the emotion of yesterday:) Even my drama teacher mentioned Heath last night which was nice.

We are having a miserable day here so these pictures of Jake have brightened things up. I really like the shirt:)

Have a great day:)

Xenia said...

Hi WDW and everyone. :)

Jake is so sexy in those pics, you can almost see the brisk pace along with that straight serious don't bother me expression on his face.

(((MonicaO))) I know exactly what you mean about Jake's hands: they look soft and strong at the same time, you can imagine them like hands of a man who knows how to use them...:)
Please take care, my heart is with you.*)

I feel an incredible joy about Heath Oscar nomination. I really hope he'll win most of all because he deserves it.

A good day to all of you.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thank you, Atti! I appreciate that :D

Hey Winterbird :D I hope they fix that soon - they should give you the day off to make up for it... I like the shirt too :)

Hi Carol! Jake has done his job of brightening me up too. And it's stopped raining and the sun's come out :D

Hey Xenia - you're so right about the hands... sigh :) I have everything crossed for the Oscars.

Carol said...

"Paramount has decided to let the rights to graphic novel Torso – which David Fincher has been developing since 2006 – lapse due to worries about the eventual film’s budget"

Just saw this news about Ness/Torso. Let's hope that it still gets made.

Hello everybody!

I'm sorry for your loss (((Monica Other))) and I really hope that you daughter and husband get well very soon.

Sexy Jake always make me feel better although I must admit that his outfit in those photos is not my favorite. And the Beanie... well, I have already given my opinion about it.

Anyway, Jake is always a pleasant and happy vision so thanks a lot for the posting them WDW!!!!

I was fandom confused the other night. I was re-watching the bonus disc for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and not paying that much attention when some well know jumping prince caught my eye. It turned out that Emma Watson (Hermione) was telling she had got addicted to play Prince of Persia. It was one of the twilight zone moments for me... Jake references popping up during my Harry Potter time.

Not that I need much encouragement to think of Jake, of course, but it was weird nevertheless. Weird but nice. It got me thinking of the Prince of Persia DVD extras. I hope they have a seven-disc Special Edition preferably all about Jake (Jake training, Jake rehearsing, Jake being applied make-up, Jake trying his costumes, Jake taking a nap between takes....). I would buy it. Wouldn't you?

See you around =O)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Carol :) I saw that - hmmmm.

Hey there Sara! That made me chuckle about Emma Watson - I wonder what she thinks about the movie Prince :P I like the idea of the seven-disc special edition DVD - i think we should insist on it and prepare a list of demands for Bruckheimer, Newell and Disney!

It's not really a stripey shirt, it's more like the plaid you find on a tablecloth! Jake is redefinig "casual." And Heath would definitely approve. Altho, he needs a more colorful beanie.

On the front page of my local newspaper this morning, there was an article about the changes that Barack Obama is making by executive order. The bit about banning waterboarding caught my eye.

Jake made a very important contribution to this action by raising public confidence about waterboarding in "Rendition." People for whom waterboarding was just a word (or just an ancient method of torture form the days of the Spanish Inquisition) could borrow a DVD of Rendition and see how it is being used today in a number of countries. Oh, and Reese and Peter and Omar Metwally and Meryl Streep and J.K. Simmons also helped. ;-)

paulh said...

Sorry, I meant "public consciousness," not "public confidence".

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there Anon! I do think Heath would approve - Jake looks great!

Hey Paul - I've been reading today about the laws that Barack is bringing in against torture and foreign prisons and it reminded me of Rendition. It's very encouraging.

Obama has started well, IMO.

Umm WDW they are checks, no? Gingham? Or do I need to take my Comstan (today's word)?

(((MonicaO)))

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone! I need whispering this morning... a little teeny weeny hangover this morning :D

Hey Nouskie! well, it is kind of checky and I do like it :D I like Jake in that colour too, we don't see him that much in a red. Have a good day!

Monica said...

Good morning, wet dark!

I did not like the shirt. But, Jake is always sexy, with or without beanie, with or without the shirt of "picnic"!:D

From IMDB:
Untitled Moon Project (2010) (in production)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) (post-production) .... Prince Dastan
... aka Prince of Persia (USA: short title)
Brothers (2009/II) (post-production) .... Tommy Cahill
Nailed (2009) (post-production) .... Howard Birdwell


Monica, sorry for what happened to you. But I hope that everything will be solved.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning Monica! Unfortunately, ProIMDb still lists UMP as being in development, while the Namath project is still at the treatment/outline stage. But I do hope UMP is next! Hope you're having a good weekend :D

Monica said...

I do not have access to PROIMDB.
Thanks for the information!

Have a great day!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks Monica! I'm having a very quiet day :D
