Jake as Harold after festival

Hope Davis as Catherine's estranged sister, Gwyneth Paltrow as Catherine and Jake Gyllenhaal as Harold Dobbs in "Proof".
Catherine: Harold Dobbs exists.
Claire: I'm sure he does.
Catherine: He's a mathematician at the University of Chicago. Call the freaking math department.
Claire: Do you wanna stay in Chicago?
Catherine: I don't know.
Claire: Chicago is dead. New York is so much more fun.

If you scroll down to the bottom of this previous post you can download "Via Chicago" song live by Wilco.

Musically I am not much into John Mayer, but as he recently was in Jake's orbit and "rollingstoned", for the fans here is his last record: "Continuum" (2006) and as dessert, a "Little Miss Sunshine" review by Strange Culture and "Little Miss Sunshine" soundtrack.

Take your Jake's lover test

Winner type: Cuddly type.
There aren't too many jealousy issues in Jake Weird's readers, our Agents base is on shape, a few suspicious and scratchers folks and no bitch here. We are sane enough!

I fell for the drummer

Jake, the hot maths teacher drummer wannabe.

A crazy Muppet drummer and...

Glenn Kotche, the fascinating Wilco's drummer.

"HEAVY METAL DRUMMER"

"I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands
I used to go see on the landing in the summer
She fell in love with the drummer
She fell in love with the drummer
She fell in love

Shiny, shiny pants and bleach-blond hair
A double kick drum by the river in the summer
She fell in love with the drummer
Another and another
She fell in love

I miss the innocence I've known
Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned

Unlock my body and move myself to dance
Moving warm liquid, flowing blowing glass
Classical music blasting masks the ringing in my ears

I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands
I used to go see on the landing in the summer
She fell in love with the drummer
She fell in love with another
She fell in love

I miss the innocence I've known
Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned
Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned
Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned" (by Wilco)

A signed charity bone

"Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, John Travolta and Jake Gyllenhaal are among 40 celebrities who have signed wooden "dog bones" for a charity auction benefiting the Mississippi Animal Rescue League.
The celeb-signed bones will be auctioned off Thursday at the organization's second annual Fur Ball event. Proceeds will go to constructing a new animal shelter, said Allison Nutt, a MARL board member and chairman of the Fur Ball event committee."

The Slacker Test

You Are 44% Slacker

You are a bit of a slacker - though you can pull it together and live a somewhat normal life. If you're young, this is probably phase you'll outgrow. And if you're already grown up, you need to get off the couch a bit more!

Are You a Slacker?

Well, the pictures talk by themselves, but I want to remark that my favourite film of James Dean is "East of Eden" (1955 by Elia Kazan), based on the John Steinbeck's novel. The most shocking scene is no doubt the confrontation of Cal (James Dean) with his father Adam Trask, the way Cal is rejected is a prodigious moment in cinema: “You're bad, through and through, bad,” and Cal replies: "You're right. I am bad. I knew that for a long time... It's true", but my prefered part of the movie is the conversation James Dean has with Abra (Julie Harris) on the "Ferris wheel", when Abra confides to Cal that she thinks she isn't good enough for Aron. Their intimate conversation leads to a kiss, but then she pulls back immediately:
"I love Aron, I do, really I do" hurting Cal deep down.
Their previous conversations are really memorable too. Julie Harris gave me a slight impression to Jena Malone's Gretchen, a frail woman, not buxom at all, who is flawed but is still romantic.
