Cosmo rates Jake's Hollywood Hotness and rave Zodiac reviews

Cosmopolitan, a publication that has always appreciated a Hot Jake Gyllenhaal when it sees one, has today proposed for debate the question of whether Jake is now superceding Johnny Depp in the Hollywood Hottie stakes. Obviously, this is a serious matter and one must give it some serious thought. With no disrespect to a much-loved Johnny Depp, it's good to see Jake's Hotness is again a matter of debate, and it looks like Jake is winning the Cosmo polls (except when he has facial scruff - but, on the other hand, the readers don't mind the hats - just as well).


Emphasising Jake's hotness is the revelation today that one of America's top ten hottest professors would choose Jake Gyllenhaal to play him in a movie - suggesting that even hot profs aspire to Jake levels of hotness. I'd be interested to know if the UK has a top ten of hot profs...


I had to include this review of the Blu-Ray release of Zodiac, which hails the film as being amongst the top Blu-Ray releases yet. 'It’s a must-own for not only fans of David Fincher’s excellent movie but anyone with a Blu-Ray player. Not only does “Zodiac” include one of the best video transfers that have ever produced for any format, but the special features are nearly as mesmerizing as this five-star movie. Fincher will get a lot of press this month for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” but history is likely to be even kinder to “Zodiac,” an already-great film made even better with one of the best Blu-Ray releases to date.'


This excellent review and tribute to the film that is Zodiac, is certainly in keeping with our recent David Fincher Lovefest. But back to degrees of walking hotness...

Johnny Depp... mmm... I am always a bit ambivalent about him. I think he looks good and he's probably a cool guy and he has the acting chops - but somehow I never fall for his charm - maybe because he never played Jack Twist, that must be it :)

In any case, Jake is hotter!

YAY for Zodiac's rave review. I agree, history will be kinder to Zodiac.

oh.. and LOL about the professor! I have to blog about it. And I don't blame him... I mean, if I was voted as a hot professor, why not have the "hottest" to play me in a movie?

hope you're having a relaxing evening!

Hey Winterbird! I hope you're relaxing too after London's war on snow today! I feel like that about Johnny Depp too. I like him but yeah Jake is hotter.

Oh the prof thing was so funny. I love that there is a scale of professorial hotness. Have a good evening!

My word is emema?

I hate it when they do this!!!

I adore Johnny Depp.

Johnny Depp is...sacred.

WHY DO THEY MAKE US CHOOSE????

I will always love Johnny Depp...like I will always love my mother...but Jake is the hottest man who ever lived.

There.

I've said it.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

OMG Anon! Johnny Depp is very special but... you are so right about Jake! I feel your pain, Anon :D

Monica said...

Good night, wet dark!

Johnny Depp is part of my adolescence ...

Sorry Johnny, but Jake is very hot!
:):):)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Night Monica :D I think 'Sorry Johnny, but Jake is very hot!' should have been the title of this post - perfect! Have a good day over there :D

Anonymous said...

LOL! "Sorry Johnny..." would have sufficed.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Love it, Deoloxic! Thanks for that :D

Anonymous said...

I'm suffering...Anon is so right! It's not fair..not fair at all!

*hitting head against the wall*

How can one ask me to choose? Johnny is part of my dreams. The number one on every and each one of my lists until....until...oh gosh...until I've found HIM!

It hurts to say that but Jake is Jake!
And Cosmo is mean!

WDW the prof cracks me up! He's not hot at all! Look at his eyes: they are from different fathers! Not even relatives! Hahaha!
Jake would need a plastic surgery to play him on a film. :)

Good morning Monica! I'm a lucky one as although I've enjoyed many of Johnny's films he's never caught my imagination, but I know how loved he is :D It's just Jake is hotter! OMG love what you say about the Not Hot Prof!

Have a good day everyone :D

Ooh my word is ficep - Jake has such lovely ficeps...

sheba said...

LOL WDW, you're words have not been kind to you as late.

Mmmn....... Jake and Johnny..... throw in some chocolate and you've got a cornocopia of melting, delicious hotness. Johny has about nearly 20 years on Jake and still exudes this 'jenesaisque' so it's not a fair comparison.

Now if we were to take this seriously we'd have to break it down into categories such as films, genres, actors worked with, lifestyle, muscle-mass, extra-curricular activities, number of moles, cutest butt (which BTW I have to agree 100% with Brad Pitt that David Fincher does indeed have a nice butt - I checked that sucker out back in 2006 - hotness!!)

Whew... I need to go do snow angels in the back garden to cool myself down :DD

Xenia said...

Johnny Depp is one of my favourite actors and one good-looking man for sure but nothing and noone compares to Jake for me. Plain at simple.
Sorry Johnny...;)

Have you seen this video from SBFF(originally posted by UV on Gyllenbabble)?
It has some interviews on the red carpet before the Ficher celebration and there's some handsome fedora-man-Jake in the end. :)

My word is hotties, could it be more appropriate? :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning Sheba! Johnny's certainly doing well on his years - in his prime I'd say. Jake will be lovely at that age too :D I totally agree with the Brad Pitt butt comment!

Have a good day! The snow is about gone here - flippin cold though...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Xenia! Posting at the same time :D Thanks for the link! - I'll look forward to seeing that when I get home and add it. Poor, poor Johnny.... I'm being reminded of an old Spitting Image sketch (sorry, that will probably only mean something to 5 people!) Ooh you got a good word - I've got another bit of Klingon...

morning WDW,
I saw London in the news last night...how amazing it is that I'm melting while you freeze? I hope the snow gives a break.
Have a good day

Xoxo

sheba said...

Snow gone already?! It's about 3-4 inches here and the sun's out. It's gorgeous like Jake, Johnny and David.

I must apologise for not being around here much lately .. *shameface* I feel a little bit like 'cheating' on Jake as another has also captured my heart over the last 6 months. Namely, President Barack Obama - my gosh, that sound great to say!! I've been planning an Inauguration Ball (dinner and dance) that has taken up so much of my time and it was truly magical. Over 100 people attended our black-tie affair (some Americans too) and as long as I live, I will never forget that feeling of oneness and common people from different races, genders, orientation etc coming to celebrate this historic moment with us.

Now that all the planning, preparation and celebrations are over I can recommit to Jake again and revist the altar of his gorgeousness and revel in his happiness. Feels great to be back and feeling 'girly' again. Feeling hot, hot, hot :DD

I remember when they were rolling out that last POTC, and Newsweek had Johnny (Be Still My Heart) Depp
on its COVER. Simple white t-shirt and jeans, and I about had a heart attack. (Sigh.) Point being, I have VERY HIGH STANDARDS...

"Sorry Johnny...no, really."


P.S.

Now there's an exercise. WDW D'ye think it's possible to find that pic and put them side by side? Can this blogsite stand it ??? Don't want to crash anything.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Monica O! Wouldn't mind some of your lovely melting sun :D London looked gorgeous yesterday but the chaos! Unbelievable... The snow's moved a little north now, to Sheba's neck of the woods! Have a good day in the sunshine :D

Hi Sheba! Well, I'm glad you're back - although I think Barrack was worthy competition for your time. That ball sounds amazing! Now you have that done I'm glad you're back to focus on The Hot One again :D

Hey Anon!I think I know that pic. I'll have a hunt for it :D I still say no competition - sorry, Johnny ;)

Ooh the sun is out :DD

Anonymous said...

Sorry. Black T-shirt. Johnny had another pic with a white T-shirt, but the Newsweek cover has him in a black t-shirt and jeans. I just happened to have a back issue I was saving for an article I wanted to read...

OTOH, I have several copies of a particular Interview magazine, and a GQ Magazine that have nothing whatever to do with Johnny Depp...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi 12:10! Oh yes, I think I have some of those very same Interviews and GQs too - in fact I have one of those framed on my wall - sigh...

Seems like we have a new mantra around here: "Sorry, Johnny"

So now, repeat both our mantras after me: Sorry, Johnny...Jake is hot!"

Sounds delicious!
;)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

'Sorry, Johnny... Jake is hot!'

Sounds right to me - hi there Monica O!

Carol said...

I have to agree with 'Sorry Johnny... Jake is hot'

I really like Johnny as an actor and admire the interesting choices he has made but he doesn't send my temperature rising like Jake.

Johnny does look really good for his age though. I think he's got a timeless quality about him. I'd like to invite him to a dinner party as I think he would be a good conversationalist.

Anonymous said...

Carol,

Even Johnny being NO Jake, a half of this Planet wants a lot more from him than a good conversation. LOL! You must be that one exception that asserts the rule.
You talk to him...then send him South, please.

Oops! Sorry Jake. Just a minor relapse...

Carol said...

Think I must be Monica O:). It's because I have a cousin who used to kinda look like him when he was younger and all my friends used to fancy him.

I'll definitely send him South once we're all talked out!!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Carol and Monica O! I would never turn Johnny down for some dinner conversation but somehow with Jake I think my mind would not be on the words! It's a weakness in me! Good to see you noth :D
