Brokeback Mountain's superb Blu-ray

"Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal play two cowboys who, despite their traditional backgrounds, find that their close quarters and isolation in the wilderness leads them to a much more non-traditional relationship. They struggle mightily with their desires for a normal, traditional existence, and their desire for each other. The movie also featured breakout performances by Michelle Williams (as Heath Ledger’s wife Alma) and Anne Hathaway; each tries to cope with their increasing awareness of their respective spouses’ situations that run counter to their own moral beliefs.It was really great to see the late Heath Ledger onscreen again. I also watched The Dark Knight this weekend, and it along with Brokeback Mountain really brought home what a staggeringly good actor Heath Ledger was. His work will be missed – very few actors could inhabit a character with such ultimate believability. You’ll have a difficult time bettering the presentation of this excellent movie than with this superb Blu-ray from Universal. Very highly recommended". Source: www.audaud.com

Jet engines

Seeing these pics of Jake at the Bourget Airport, you can notice the spirals in the private jet engines. It caught my eye, because it's a kind of dejà vu of the jet engine that mysteriously fell over the bedroom of Donnie Darko in the beggining and the end of the film."Point B is the point at which an airplane engine lands on Donnie Darko's house. It is also the point at which the tangent universe begins. It is unclear as to why or how the tangent universe begins, but in the main timeline Donnie is killed, while in the tangent universe, Donnie is sort of called out of his room by a mysterious force and thus is not killed by the engine. As the movie goes, shortly after point C, the entire universe (I assume this includes the main timeline as well) is destroyed". Source: kaedrin.com/weblog

Gyllanhaal-esque Eggold in United States of Tara

"Tara and Kate set up camp in a roadside motel that also happens to be the setting for a pharmaceutical-sales convention. Slipping into a bikini, hotel robe, and invented identity, Kate proceeds to flirt up one of the pharma reps, the Jake Gyllenhaal–esque Ryan Eggold. United States Of Tara - 1x09 Possibility (2009)

(In true U.S. of T. fashion, we digress into arcane pop-culture referencedom. While we’re at it, though: In a coincidence of Sunday-night-TV pop-culture tangents, this week’s episode of Family Guy makes reference to 
United States of Tara creator Diablo Cody, and Nate Corddry’s U.S. of T. character loans a Family Guy DVD to Kate.)

Anyway, Eggold's legal-drug dealer is entranced by Kate’s world-traveling French-Canadian starfucker persona. She regales him with tales of overcoming a move from Quebec to Monte Carlo, a “fucked-up thing” with Lance Armstrong, and learning to love her strange name (“Nordic”). They repair to a hot tub to soak and suck face. When Tara tries to break things up, Kate throws a fit and tells her mom she was crazy to think their road trip would be “one of those, 'let’s get French manicures mother-daughter getaways'. The confrontation precipitates an identity transition for Tara, into T, the self-proclaimed slutty teenage alter.
T is unceremoniously banished from the jacuzzi, so she takes refuge in a nearby tattoo parlor".

Jake & Reese exploring Paris




Jake and Reese spent the afternoon in the historical “Le Marais” district and they did some shopping in Saint Germain des Pres in Paris, France, 14th March. Didn't I say before Paris was the sister city of Rome? Madrid, Rome, Paris, what a super-romantic tour, is Paris their last stop? If so, these pics have made relive my honeymoon times.
