Type Something Up


When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. Filled with mind-boggling twists and heart-pounding suspense.

It's not his first time travel movie. He starred in one of the greatest the greatest love stories in modern cinema. He's done comedy, drama, western, blockbusters, disaster movies and rom-coms.

But is Source Code? His first Sci-fi? His first thriller? His first action film?

What do you classify Donnie Darko? Is it sci -fi or something else? Does it defy definition?

Was Zodiac a thriller, or a just drama?

PoP an action movie? Or adventure?

Jake's tried his hand at all kinds of genres? Which is his best? And what one would you like to see him do more of?

This is from Fit Sugar a chat with fit instructor Tracy Anderson and her Metamorphosis method. Sounds like Jake is has been a client for a while and wonder what kind of dancer he is.

FS: The whole Twilight thing would be a good tie-in! Rumor has it you work with Jake Gyllenhaal as well?
TA: Jake has for a while, yeah.

For more on how men find their inner dancer and Tracy's feelings about vino, keep on reading.

FS: Is it different training your male vs. female clients?
TA: The guys, it's interesting because the women scale up a lot faster than men when they do it — they die in the beginning because it's waking up all of their accessory muscles. For example, too, it's also funny to see Matthew McConaughey or someone actually get in touch with their dancer.

Here's the whole interview: FitSugar

Where is B1, B2, and B3 as Jake wonders around the country? A good Dad would not leave his kids for long periods of time unless another parent was with them.

I really want to see Jake do more comedy. He definitely has the bones to do comedy.

Too bad about Nailed because want to see what he could do with a satire. I have my doubts that if it comes out that will be toned down even more now that O'Russell is out of it.

Would like to see him in a black comedy but not sure if it would go over with broad audience but think he might attract new fan base.

It would also be fun to see him in something completely goofy again, it's been a long time since Bubble Boy.

What I am wondering is how long it will be before he voices an animated movie that the kids (he knows - of course) can watch.

That sure is not great parenthood. How can any woman think that.

Fashion week is next week in NYC. We will have to see if Jake sticks around or heads out before Sophin is spotted. The hook up could be on for tonight. Have fun guys.

Jake the breadwinner said...

If you got kids you have to make a living. In Jake's and Austin's profession you can't be gay and you certainly can't have children with your gay partner. The G's are are broke. Jake needs to be the breadwinner for the kids and his mother.

If Sophin shows up in NYC I'm sure we'll see Jake somewhere else. Just like I'm sure we'll see Sophin out somewhere else when Jake hits Texas.
