Jake Gyllenhaal out and about in NYC, 15 November 2010

Jake Gyllenhaal is now back in the USA, specifically New York City, which can mean only one thing: yes, the sun can come out in London again. The TV promotion for Love and Other Drugs kicks off on Wednesday and so there's plenty of time for Jake to practice answering some more of the same questions. Thanks to IHJ for the pictures of Jake arriving at JFK today complete with a very nice coat. And, by the look of it, someone may have dropped something. I hope they picked it up. There are more pictures there.


Later on, Jake, all changed and decidedly hot, was seen leaving his hotel. Nice scarf.


If you're looking for somewhere to go to watch the Oscars this year, then Pittsburgh might not be your first choice. But, The Pitt as we came to know and love it during the filming of Love and Other Drugs, is hosting an Oscars party during which there's a silent auction where you can bid on items including those donated by Jake and Anne Hathaway. Obviously it has to be a silent auction or otherwise you wouldn't hear all of the speeches.


In this video interview Jake and Anne answer a number of questions about being comfortable nude together (no doubt this question will come up again) and about how hard it is for Jake 'even you?!' Gyllenhaal to get a girl's phonenumber. Apparently it's something to do with women being 'an amazing breed' and 'complicated creatures'. Anne puts him right.


For anyone who's interested, I've written a review of Skyline on MovieBrit.

Thanks to IHJ for the lovely pictures.

And indeed, the sun came out here today... for the first time in days. Did Jake attract massive rain clouds this time he was in Europe? It certainly seems like that over here. ;)

About the video: Jake having had experience in the "movie-sex realm"? Where, when?! That split second in Jarhead? Or is there more about Nailed that we may never get to enjoy? :-O

Look at those legs in the second photo. My, my, my, my, my!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Lady Ekster! I read the script for Nailed and there is indeed much more movie-sex in it. I really hope we get to see it :D

I know, Gyllenhaalisgr8, they are indeed distracting...

Darling Bluebell said...

Really?! Darn it! Can I trade Source Code for Nailed, please? *runs and hides before WDW can slap her* *lol*

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Who knows what we'll get in Source Code, Lady Ekster! Although we'd be lucky to get as much movie-sex as there is in Nailed and LAOD.... Maybe we'll get aliens to compensate :D

@LadyEkster, Jake had movie sex with Jennifer Aniston in The Good Girl. And then there was Jena Malone in Donnie Darko, but not so much. And Ellen Pompeo in Moonlight Mile, sort of. Gwynneth Paltrow in Proof (ugh).

I'd love to see Nailed! Maybe it will eventually go straight to DVD if it never goes to theaters.

Jake is looking good on his return to NYC....those legs are definitely a distraction:)

I love the chemistry between Jake and Anne on the promotional train for LAOD. You can really see their friendship coming through on that clip.

I love when Jake says he's had some experience in the "movie sex realm". Made me think of Nailed too when he said that. Will we ever get to see that movie at this stage.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Susan! Agreed with those ladies :D I still hope we'll see Nailed. I would settle for the DVD.

Oh the legs... Hi Carol!

If you're interested, I've written a review of Skyline on MB

Hi!
Jake looks amazingly well in coats. And this set of suit and scarf (similar to London outfit)is something new in fashion for me or maybe I'm not up to date with fashion, but it looks interesting.
So this time Jake stays at the hotel, not at his sisters house? I know she's in London, but last time she was out of the States as well and he lived at her place (probably)

Video is just as sympathetic as the previous ones. It's almost boring to repeat how wonderful they are together, but it's very nice to watch them again :)

@Susan has mentioned sex in Donnie Darko movie. That was always a mystery to me. Did Gretchen and Donnie have sex upstairs during the Halloween party or was it only kissing? Judging by holding hands on the stairs it could be sex. And it would be great for Jake to have such a nice experience before he died. But on the other hand in such a young age, with a bunch of people downstairs, especially older sister, I'm not so sure if they would be brave enough to do it for the first time.
It was really a beautiful scene for me. Together with the holding hands' scene and the music in first theatrical version - The Church - Under The Milky Way

I also count on watching "Nailed".

mermon said...

And it would be great for Donnie (of course) to have such a nice experience before he died.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Mermon! When Jake's anywhere on movie business he'll stay in hotels, even in LA. It'll make it easier and less stressful. I love Jake in scarves :D

Don't forget Jarhead sex scenes, but I just remember Jake's tush.

The guy in the background in the pic is the same guy from the same hotel when Jake did POP promotion in NYC. Except this time the guy has his mouth shut. I guess he must be the doorman. And he's awfully cute too. I should go to NYC hotels more often.

Jake also had a sexual experience of sorts in Bubble Boy with the baseball bat.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Yeah, but the performance was a bit wooden ;)

Only this time he isn't making funny faces. :(

oh no you didn't. Next time you see Jake ask him about his sexual experience in Bubble Boy. I love that movie so much.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

They are such gorgeous pics, Abby!

It's one of my fave roles too, Anon:) I hope Jake looks back on it with good memories.

Darling Bluebell said...

LOL @ Bubble Boy. I'm still in stitches whenever I watch that scene. The whole film is such a gem, I love it. It will probably still be in my Top Ten by the time Jake hits 50. ;)

@Susan: you're right, I hadn't thought of that scene in The Good Girl. Probably because I don't find it sexy in any way. *big grin* He has done quite a couple of love scenes, but a real sex scene? I'm guessing LAOD is going to make up for that. ;)

Alejandra said...

I love those tight-fitting suits Jake wears. No one can rock that look quite like him.

And that doorman needs to stop looking at the camera and follow his dream already. Jeez... ;-)

Well, I guess I'm all set for the American shows. So... bring them on! :-D

I know what you mean - but we don't know what got edited out of any of those movies. What's the definition of "movie sex" anyway? Just bring on LAOD - I'm ready!!

jen said...

I don't know if this was already written, but Jake, Anne, and Ed Zwick will be attending Variety Q & A screening for LAOD.

jen said...

This Q & A started at 7:30 p.m.

gyllenhaalisgr8 said...

Ya know, mermon, I had wondered that for a long time about sex in Donnie Darko (mostly because of how much I would hate Jena Malone). All of your reasons why it would have been difficult are good, but I like mine: Jake was in a one-piece skeleton costume! So I comforted myself by thinking he could not have had sex (though the hand-holding was tough to dismiss). Then I was reminded that it was a parallel universe so anything was possible, like getting into the locked school at night, driving an ax into a 20' statue, etc. Considering that context, I guess they did it, alas.

jen said...

WDW, how was the audience reaction & response for LAOD during & after the press screening ?

mermon said...

@gyllenhaalisgr8 - you're right, I didn't think about skeleton costume. As I remember Donnie was 16 years old, I think at that age kissing and holding are very important. And quite sufficient. So I think they didn't. One great question to ask Jake about :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone! I've been springcleaning my office. I don't recommend it...

Hi Lady Ekster! I certainly never tire of Bubble Boy - especially when I listen to the commentary with it - hysterical!

Morning Alejandra :D I love that look and I do agree that noone does it quite like Jake.

You will not be disappointed with LAOD, Susan!

Thanks for that, Jen! That's good news. I hope it's one they video, unlike the Brothers Q&A. The response was good. It's the kind of movie you watch with a smile on your face or with tears in your eyes and everyone seemed to be doing that. Lots of big grins :)

Morning Mermon!

Have a great day everyone!

Hi there Gyllenhaalisgr8! I've never thought that much happened in that scene. I do like Jena though :D

Cazajuguetes said...

Hi WDW and all!
I'm catching up today. I'm having a bad cold but feeling better and able to read you and have a good time. ;o)
I'm ready for the TV shows too.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning Eureka! I'm very sorry to hear you're unwell. Do wrap up and enjoy the catchup :)

Cazajuguetes said...

Thanks WDW!
Caughing me is sure doing. :o)
