Jake Gyllenhaal twists a tentacle (on Sesame Street) - Update: Brothers UK trailer

We've had quite a wait for Jake Gyllenhaal to pull that octopus off his head, but finally today Jake's Sesame Street aired and, with so many thanks to IHJ, we can all now see that little purple sucker get its comeuppance. I think we'd all agree that a twisted tentacle is a small price to pay for such an attachment. It's a spooky coincidence but whenever I've thought of the word 'separate' the image of an octopus stuck on someone's head is always the first thing that comes to my mind. Representatives for both Jake Gyllenhaal and octopus have yet to confirm if the separation is pemanent.



And here is Maggie with her word. Surprise!



This of course means the end to some people's dedicated daily Sesame Street vigilance - for those people the word on the street is 'Hooray!' Thanks Stephanie!

Updated to add the UK trailer for Brothers which is very different from the US version, right down to the music. Lionsgate has now added it to YouTube.

[Updated] Jake Gyllenhaal with an octopus on his head... And a Brothers puzzle. New PoP stills

[Update: Just saw this tweet: 'i will meet Jake Gyllenhaal and Toby Mcguire on Sunday at special Brothers movie premiere, that are my wknd plans ;)' By the sound of it this event (a media screening of sorts?) will be in LA. It would be good to know more - well, there's an understatement. Jim's spoken about premieres in NYC and Ireland - let's hope we hear soon.]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear - this is a very naughty octopus indeed. I would like to hope that no Jake Gyllenhaal was harmed during the making of this video. No wonder that octopus has a smile on its face....



It may be worth noting that Jake's word in the video is 'separate' and, according to the Sesame Street episode guide, that word features on December 4. Hmmmm.... And doesn't a certain film come out on December 4? Many thanks to Stephanie at IHJ for finding this gem. And it taught me to spell a word - bonus!





Maggie was also given a surprise...


Time to Play a Game

Thanks to the new Brothers trailer that was released yesterday we have a Spot the Difference game!





Many thanks to IHJ for the screen caps and for Stephanie's eagle eyes!

Carey Mulligan, star of An Education and as good as Oscared according to many critics, spoke a little about Brothers to the Independent today: 'In the UK, however, she will next be seen alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman in Jim Sheridan's Brothers. A US remake of the Danish film by Susanne Bier, it's been in post-production for some time. Mulligan notes "it feels like a million years ago" since she made it. She plays the wife of a soldier accidentally killed by Maguire's character. "It's a small part but Jim's very playful, and he slotted me into lots of the rest of the movie. We improvised that scene more than it was written. He's such an amazing film-maker. I want to work with him and play a bigger part, if I'm lucky enough, because he's so amazing. In America is one of my favourite movies."'
