[Updated] Despite (or because of) the End of the World threat, Jake Gyllenhaal karates and flies out of LAX

I wasn't going to do a post tonight due to being out late in London but I've since learned that the world is predicted to end tomorrow - by one person anyway - and so I thought I'd better get one out while I can. I wouldn't want the world to end when I'm not up to date with WDW.


Jake Gyllenhaal may have some concerns about this imminent catastrophe because he's taking to the skies. Today, Jake was seen at LAX.



Earlier in the day, Jake was back engaging in karate with the barefooted one. This karate is obviously good for Jake, just look at that smile on his face. The world's about to end and Jake can still find something to smile about! I've always found optimism in the face of annihilation a very attractive quality.





See you tomorrow.... I hope.

And finally...

I saw X-Men: First Class on Friday and I'm very lucky that I was one of the very few who was asked to publish their opinion ahead of 25 May when the embargo for reviews lifts. You can read my initial view here at Blogomatic3000.

Many thanks to IHJ for the pics!

Jake Gyllenhaal karates in LA, Donnie Darko's 10th birthday and Peter Sarsgaard's Hector Hammond

As everyone will tell you, Tuesday night is Karate Night and it's no different for Jake Gyllenhaal. Just because he's a star that's no reason for him to get out of it. And so yesterday Jake was seen arriving for and leaving from his lesson, which appears to have taken place within a cage. I'm assuming that some photos are from Jake's arrival judging by the fact that Jake is carrying a big box (which, as all regulars of WDW will know is not that common for Jake*). I'm afraid that this post features feet - multiple feet.





*Jake and Box Lady:


Never one to let karate take over his entire day, Jake was also about in LA yesterday looking - how do I put this? - perfect.




2001

One thing I did in 2001 was sing along to Destiny's Child 'Survivor'. The other thing I did was to go and see Donnie Darko. Yes, Donnie Darko - or DD or 'The film with the rabbit' or 'What on earth was going on in that film with the rabbit?' or 'What sort of a name is Frank for a rabbit?' as it is sometimes known - is a decade old this year. To mark the event there is an all singing all dancing Blu-ray/DVD edition coming out to give you another excuse to have yet another version of this classic movie. At the last count I had three versions. Therefore, I may as well have four. Especially if it helps me understand what on earth is going on. Some details here.


Peter's Hector

To mark the release of Green Lantern next month, another poster has been released. And this one's a goodie because it features Peter Sarsgaard as baddie Hector Hammond. I am really looking forward to seeing Peter on the big screen again. This poster is via Flicks and Bits.


And finally...

Tomorrow may well turn out to be a day that I will never forget. A real adventure. I'll be at the Pirates of the Caribbean press conference and then attending the premiere at Westfield in London as press. It seems serendipitous indeed that this should occur almost a year to the day that I was at Westfield for the Prince of Persia premiere. I am really looking forward to seeing Jerry Bruckheimer again. There is a good chance that I'll be able to ask the stars of Pirates a question or two. If you have a suggestion for a question do add it to the comments. Many thanks to Blogomatic3000 and Disney. Excited? Me?
