Another day another date... Brothers set for 9 December 2009?

You know what it's like, you can tear your heart out for months on end waiting for a release date for a Jake Gyllenhaal movie and then, just when you think you can hardly bare to stand it for another instant, you get three a week. Yesterday, hot on the heels of the curious possible 23 July Ukranian release date for Nailed, Coming Soon released a date of 4 December for Brothers. This, rather worryingly, mirrored the movie's original date of 4 December 2008 and so did not exactly inspire confidence. Today, we have a slightly readjusted date from Movieweb of 9 December. Is it possible that this date, which happily parallels the 9 December 2005 date of the release of Brokeback Mountain, is the true one?


An aside: In order to try and come to terms with the emotional upset of unsteady movie dates while still reeling from the muscly appeal of Jake's Prince of Persia, Ruby and I consoled ourselves this evening with chocolate fondues and cocktails. As a result, the blame for the indulgence of excessive calories and alcoholic units can be placed squarely at the booted feet of one armour-clad, sword-wielding, princess-kissing Jake. Just look what you made us do!

Hey BBMISwear :D We were both sending you our love tonight - hope you felt it *) Yep Jake, chocolate, cocktails - perfect. Makes all the additional release dates worth having. I'm thinking that this date of 9 December is more realistic than the previous one, which was too coincidentally the same as last year's date.

Can I just say how smug I felt when I saw that my Margarita was so much bigger than Ruby's Cosmo?

Now that looks like a good night. I am quite jealous! Hope you guys are all good. One day I hope to have some free time again.....

Mmm Jake+chocolate = nice thoughts to start the day with.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone! And the head's not too bad :D Just keep the coffee coming...

Just get over here BBMISwear *)

Hey! Thanks so much the Entire McGillicuddy Clan - what a lovely thing to say :)

It was good, Winterbird :D Keep your fingers crossed for London, I certainly am.

LJF! Where have you been?! Good to see you - and I hope you get that free time soon. Hope things are good with you *)

Have a great day everyone!

Ruby said...

Your head must be worse than mine since your cocktail was so much bigger! :D

You didn't mention the pretty view in the restaurant. ;-)

Good to see you LJF.

BBMISwear - plan that trip!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning Rubes :D Mine was a PROPER cocktail - oh yes, very nice view ;D Thanks for a lovely evening and I hope your day is good *)

BBMISwear said...

I should have known if I mentioned a trip to England "out loud" then WDW and Ruby would be after me to start planning...LOL! When I do get there I won't be drinking either of those large, pretty cocktails however. But I'm sure you can find us a place that offers some nice wines!!

xoxo

Ruby said...

We'll take very good care of you and find you lots and lots of lovely wine. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Definitely! You've done it now, BBMISwear :D We're good with wines too....

LOL! Add me to the jealous crowd, that must have been a wonderful evening. Jake, chocolate, cocktails and good company, perfect combination. :) And there was a pretty view? How pretty?

Is there a curse on Jake or something? I can't believe how long we have to wait for his movies to come out and how many times they change the dates! Are they trying to make us crazy? I hope Jake appreciates how patient and devoted we are. You're lucky we love you so much, Jake! :D

If someone has a little extra sunshine could you send it my way please? It's really depressingly grey here.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Ruby said...

The Pretty was in the form of three cute guys at the next table. :D

Oh! Nice! :) A lovely view can really add to an evening. :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Olympia! I know - all this waiting just isn't right!Jake should spend the next few years working none stop just to line 'em up. I never want to go this long without a movie again... I wouldn't mind some sunshine either :) It was a charming view, even distracted me a little from the fondue... :D

Waves to Rubes!

I fear this day may never end....

Carol said...

I want that Magharita too. Although mine is usually a Cosmopolitan in honour of a certain Ms Bradshaw and friends:)

Cocktails and a nice view what more could a girl want....maybe a definite release date for a Jake movie sooner rather than later. I never want to have to wait this long again either.

Flower said...

BBM the tags is just great..
Thank you :)))
I am ready for waiting..
Every news related with Jake brings smile on my face..

I send my chocolate to WDW.. :))
Every day brings joy..

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Carol! I am rather partial to Cosmos myself, lovely. It was a rather dreamy evening and it was very pleasant to talk about Jake and Ruby listened very nicely while I went on and on about how I fancy this Prince of Persia!

Oh thanks so much Flower :D I'm so glad you have a smile on your face. Any Jake news is good news, that is so true. I hope we get more very soon.

Flower said...

We will get more.. :)))
Thanks to you WDW..
C'mon Jake do some shopping, take out your workaholic girlfriend.. do something..
Summer is coming, sun is shining... time to show yourself :))

I doubt that "Brothers" will debut on December 9, because that is a Wednesday. The vast majority of films debut on Fridays. Take your pick, the 4th or the 11th, but probably not the 9th.

Rob said...

I rather like the view from the table that you so kindly illustrated. but then I am biased...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Paul - I think I'll take any date I can get!

A lovely view, Rob, and the strawberries weren't bad either... Good to see you, mate!

paulh said...

People can see a movie on any day of the week they choose. And, there are a *few* movies that debut on Wednesdays or MOndays or whatever. But mostly they start on fridays, which is a big date night, and start of the all-important weekend.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Paul! That's a very good point and most films open here on a Friday too - but the premieres are on Wednesdays or Thursdays often and that makes me wonder if that's what this date might refer to.

paulh said...

Chocolate fondues and cocktails?

(Quietly heads for a place with those things, while humming "You made me love you")
