Flowers, chocolates, Jake

Valentine's Day is almost upon us and, while this is not necessarily a good thing, it has this going for it: the date is fixed. So while we STILL tap our feet and wait for Jamie Foxx's Blame It On the Booze video, we have time to plan our speculative Valentine date with Jake, just to make sure it goes without a hiccup. As certain as Valentine's Day is 14 February, this is the time for Romance polls and yet again Brokeback Mountain features.


Fandango has given us the Top 10 Sexiest (and unsexiest) couples in contemporary cinema and there at number 8 is Jake and Heath. You can see the full list here - but the link comes with a warning - the Twilight duo are number 7, for reasons known only to creatures of the moonlight.


LAist decides to cut to the chase and give us the best sex scenes. The article, which is not entirely worksafe (although this obviously depends on where you work and what your job is), declares 'Of course we can't write about best sex in films and not include Brokeback Mountain, with a lover's tent serenade that's so shockingly believable it easily deserves the title of Best Gay Sex Scene. The late Heath Ledger plays the quiet, introspective Ennis Del Mar who is the object of affection for outspoken Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal). Tension builds as these two handsome leading men are forced to work together over one summer in the wilderness, and it all culminates into a unexpected sexual explosion that's not often seen on the silver screen. Two thumbs up for the cinematography and superb acting in this one as well.'


Meanwhile, the Daily Aztec, has given us its top ten Valentine movies. Brokeback Mountain is No 3, dispelling the belief that a happy romcom is what a girl wants with her chocolates, flowers and fish and chips. Curiosly, Princess Bride is number 2 and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith is number 6. I will here leave a pause for reflection.


With all these internet polls, I thought it only fair that WDW should have its own Valentine poll. The votes have been verified and counted and here are the results.


1. Actor you would most like to be your Valentine - Jake Gyllenhaal
2. Actor you would most like to cook your Valentine supper - Jake Gyllenhaal (pasta, chocolate fondant pudding)
3. Actor you would most like to cook you breakfast - Jake Gyllenhaal (poached eggs)
4. Most romantic movie moment - Tie: Jimmy building himself a bubble suit to follow his girl to Niagra Falls and Wet Sam pulling Laura out of the path of a tsunami
5. Most romantic line in a movie - 'You have wine already, good' (Zodiac)


Formal Apology: I would like to apologise for any offence caused today when I inadvertently suggested that Jake Gyllenhaal should button up his clothing. I can only say how sorry I am for the distress that would inevitably follow such a comment.
