Jake Gyllenhaal - C or D?

I need to check out Okja if for no other reason than several of the cast were staying at the same hotel I was in for a conference while they were filming in Seoul, and I was unintentionally a dick to Paul Dano.

this was one of the first Dano performances I enjoyed

gyllenhall is hilarious in okja

oh Brad, what're gonna do with you? :)

at 142 minutes it's hard

that's a long wait

Jake will do that.

i'll agree with you on dano morbs. he also had to deliver the clunkiest dialogue in the movie

I liked The Square even though it seriously loses steam after the 100-minute mark or so

I think Matt Seitz got it right in his otherwise-rave of Okja:

"Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as a hypocritical nature TV celeb is the only flat-out casting disaster. Jim Carrey-style clowning is not, to put it mildly, this actor's most comfortable mode, and his fidgety, braying, often mincing performance is so misjudged that it destroys scenes that should have been unsettling or touching."

morbs otm here, jake's terrible in this

thread derail re: The Square and other things - is anyone else getting tired of people saying how amazing Elizabeth Moss is in everything all the time. I mean, she's pretty good. She's always exactly the same.

She's good, solid. I don't care if actors fail to show or won't show range.

Has she ever played anything with energy? She always comes across as flat (even in Mad Men).

lol I was thinking of Elizabeth Olsen

yeah she's always lethargic. I think she can centre things, she's got something, but people are always banging on about her.

i don't need to see range either.

but this thread is about jake. got any cute new paparazzi pics, alf? :)

That's one way of looking at his filmography...

He does career-best work in Wildlife, the sometimes heavy-handed but solid directorial debut of Paul Dano. Carey Mulligan, whom I've never quite believed in any of her pictures, is his match.

Ooft, strong endorsement given his previous work. Look forward to it.

Refuse to believe that Carey M is good in this.

I didn't either, believe me. She nails the insouciance and the bitterness without getting soggy about it.

i will 100% watch this.

will he be nude in it

good morning!

I am glad I already told my jake g walking a dog, wearing a popped collar pink polo and barking at another dog story here.

Andy Garcia's ass crack. Too early in the morning.

He's Mysterio in the new Spider Man farrago. Will he be nude in it?

lol

Does he give anyone else crispin glover vibes these days? Felt it for sure in wildlife

he plays a fastidious oddball english detective in a so so western i watched last night, and yeah I can see a bit of that comparison.

Is that Sisters Brothers or is he in another western I don't know about?

Velvet Buzzsaw looks like it could be anywhere from great fun to total garbage but there is some A+ Gyllenhaal freaking the fuck out in the trailer

Also his character in Okja.

xp

yeah that's the one.

oh also: that Velvet Buzzsaw trailer seems like it spoils *EVERYTHING*. Like, major characters' deaths, at the very least

I can't

fuck sake.

i would c with his d in me amirite fellas?

i'm pretty sure i saw him once in a chinatown bar in 2008

my answer to this thread question is that he is both c (classic) and d (dreamy)

He's extremely good in The Sisters Brothers (the film is decent) and seeing Jake and Riz Ahmed onscreen at the same time had a significant effect on me.

I can't

JAKE CAN I JAB YOU TWICE

Jake Gyllenhaal: "More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times...I do also think that there’s a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves." https://t.co/9zrNFIooey pic.twitter.com/6DxY27DJPw

I can bathe him.

lol you don't get called a scruffy bastard when you're a sex-hunk. It reminds me of when the o.g. Ronaldo swapped shirts with Beckham and joked: his sweat smells like cologne!

I could have sworn this is like the third story I've seen this week about celebrities not bathing.

same.
