Remember the unforgettable Aqua Velva scene in Zodiac, when Jake's Robert Graysmith proudly announces to Robert's Paul Avery that the killer may be using a code named the Zodiac Alphabet? In his commentary to the film, David Fincher had this to say about that smile on Jake's face: 'I love that goofy smile that Jake has... sort of proud of himself but it doesn't look like he has a lot of control over his presentation of that - it seems very real!' Goofy smile - that's definitely one of the smiles Jake can draw on, and here are just a very few of the many others.
The Lop-sided smile.
The Hesitant smile.
The 'Pinch me' smile.
The 'What do I know? smile.
The Charm smile.
The cheeky grin.
The 'Did he really just say that' smile.
The sexy, ' Come get me' smile.
The 'I swear to God, it's a true anecdote!' smile
The embarrassed smile.
The smug 'I no longer get confused for a tube of toothpaste' smile.
The 'I'm at work' smile.
The Interested smile.
The party smile.
The cheesy grin.
And so many more... like summer rays, endless.
Includes pictures from IHJ.
Lovely, lovely post! I can never get enough of that Bafta "Pinch me smile", Jake was so adorable that night. :) And what can I say about the "Come and get me smile" ? It is quite deadly!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the "I swear to God, it's a true anecdote!" smile again, I miss it. And the "Cheesy grin " never fails to make me laugh. If I was Jake, I would of had this picture destroyed! :D
Olympia
Oh how beautiful the sunny days! Even in a 'heatwave'. lol.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Jake was no. 44 in the SFX 'power poll' this month - apparently due to move up next year after PoP. Did you see it? They printed the 'startled' pic from the PoP set (still lovely) and said he was 'Donnie Darko's head on a bodybuilder's bod' or something.
That was I think only the second time they'd mentioned PoP. I'm not sure if they've decided how to 'deal' with Jake yet. They are such a stupid fanboy magazine nowadays.
Anyway, not sure if you'd seen that, soo...
Nooooooooooo! The "cheesy grin" pic cannot be destroyed!!! Never!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor that you get an evil grin from me!!! ;D ;D ;D
But otherwise I agree with Olympia! What a lovely post!!
I love the goofy Aqua Velva smile! And the embarrassed smile from Zodiac is from one of my favourite scenes from the movie!!!
And the lop-sided smile you chose makes me swoooooooon!
And that pinch me Bafta smile has got to be one of the most adorable smiles ever!!!
Oooooh, and the come get me smile... He is sooooo beautiful in that pic...
I better stop now because almost every smile deserves a special mention!!
Thanks for the post yesterday. A really wonderful interview - just a pity that it isn't an actual one... I sure hope that the Jake of today still feels the same about some things he said...
And I loved the YouTube link you posted in the Peter post (Ugh, that movie sure looks scary... Reminded me a bit of The Omen). Such sweet and funny interviews from a younger Jake... I hope we will get to see that again...
LOL, yeah, "the good old days..." mutters the old lady... :D :D I sure hope they aren't over yet!!
Hm, my word: exidop
Have a good evening everyone!!!
PS: I think we will be getting a heatwave during the next days, too... I am off to Bratislava again - I guess it will be even hotter there, especially in the room withouth the a/c... Argh!
LOL, Uli! I knew that would get a rise out of you! :DDD
ReplyDeleteOlympia
P.S.: Ew! My word is "pusness". That's just gross!
:D :D :D :D And because it is so wrong to even call it the "cheesy grin" pic, I will punish you all by keeping The Pic as my avatar!!! >:D
ReplyDelete(for a while at least... ;))
LOL at pusness... My word this time: sastsl! My tongue just broke and the screen of my laptop got kind of wet... :D :D
Thanks Olympia! So glad you enjoyed the summer sun of Jake's smile :D The BAFTA smile is absolutely perfect - wonderful. I'm waiting to see that other smile too. And yes the cheesy smile should be incinerated!
ReplyDeleteHey TD! I didn't see that SFX Power Poll! I'll look that up. 44 sounds good. Bodybuilder?? Thanks for letting me know. I'll try and find a link or a mag.
Uli! Should've known you'd spring to the defence of the defenceless pic! OMG your avatar... I feel faint...
I'm glad you enjoyed the interview yesterday - it was an actual one, just one from 7 years ago. I'm ready for an update :D Ugh - sorry to hear you're off to Bratty again :((( I'll be glad when that finishes for you. Fancy popping over here for a weekend??
That word is disgusting, Olympia! I think all words to do with pus get a refresh hit. I have another Russian swearword...
Uli! How I love your avatar :P And yet in a strange kind of way I love that pic as it makes me smile and think of you! You're so connected with that grin:D
ReplyDeletePS I'm ignoring your dribbly and splattered keyboard...
ReplyDeleteCute post. But what happened at the end there? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rubes! Souds like the end wasn't clear, so I added a word :)

Have a nice day everyone!!!!
Good morning everyone! Another hot one - worn out after all that tennis last night...
ReplyDeleteWaves to Rubes!
OMG Silver, that sent a shiver down my spine. I don't undertsand why anyone would make such a thing up about anyone. Glad you liked the post :)
Hi Sweetpea :D
Hey there Gretchen :D I like your glomper - wouldn't mind doing that to Jake, myself. Both commentaries are wonderful, I hope you get the chance to listen to them.
Hi Acquaalta! A hot smile for a hot day :D
Habe a good one, everyone :D
You left out my favorite one, the aw-shucks smile when he was at some auction and opened a package from a fan. Sorry, I don't have any more details than that.
ReplyDeleteThere was also an I'm-struggling-to-keep-my-eyes-open smile in late 2005, when he was wearing a blueberry-colored blazer and doing publicity interviews for "Brokeback Mountain."
Am I obsessed with his various different kinds of smiles? Not really, though a smile can be a powerful pick-me-up when aimed at someone who is exhausted and discouraged.
Sigh....Jake smiles make me :D :D and squee and swoon! Thanks for the lovely post.
ReplyDeleteAlso, there have been more sightings of Jake in DC and at another baseball game! :D
Hi Paul! Ooh, I don't know the pic you mean, I'll have to have a hunt :D I like what you say about the power of the smile - it says so much.
ReplyDeleteHey Get Real! It's always a pleasure to look at Jake smile. I love keeping track of Jake - I'm missing new pics though... I didn't know he'd been to another game :)
I hope everyone's having a good day :D
