Law Breaker Style Maker

Jake was named to GQ's The 25 Most Stylish Law-Breakers in Movie History for Jack Twist.

Now why Jack is why a law-breaker? Well GQ put it this way:

It's Montana in 1963. Shacking up with another cowboy won't be legal for another 34 years. It takes guts, to say the least. In shearling jackets, properly-matched denim, and, of course, a Western hat, Jack Twist dresses the part of a rugged fella willing to break all sorts of social and literal laws. The real style is in the way Twist pulls his clothes on though—consciously. Even self-consciously. His insecurities come out in the way he bundles his hands in pockets and lowers his hat's brim. He makes those tics look covetable though, even if his situation isn't.—A.R.

Speaking of styling, looks like someone is borrowing some shoes.

Check out those legs, it's uncanny.

Then again he did do crutches first.

How do you know the crutches in the Balthazar picture from 2004 belong to Austin?

Special K said...

Wow that took 22 minutes. And sorry that picture was from 2007.

Special K said...

And how do you know I am talking about Austin?

Are you saying he's Grey Goose? Then that would mean Jake is Toothy. And that would mean you think JIG.

I'm looking at that photo right now on webshots and it says it was uploaded Oct 19, 2004.

Heart of My Heart said...

Ohhhh, swoon. This is one of my favorite Jack Twist pics. GQ got it so right - there were so many details about their clothing and hats in Brokeback, and small gestures, that said so much, communicating without saying a word. Of course, I've watched Brokeback countless times now, so I must know every little detail by heart. The way he looks up from under his cowboy hat, nothing sexier. No wonder Ennis couldn't resist. :)

Special K said...

Going to ignore the fact that you just admitted that Goose is Austin.

And that picture was on the original WFT in the summer of 2007. If you have a link for webshots that shows it was 2004 then give it so everyone can check it out.

There's your link. 2004.

Special K said...

Ok thanks for the link. It does look like it was 2004. That picture was posted on WFT in 2007.

Special K said...

But that also doesn't mean it's not Austin with the crutches either.

?? said...

Duh. Did you really think someone from WFT took the pic and posted it on WFT in 2007? You really are gullible aren't you. A couple months back someone else also pointed out this pic came from 2004 but the bullies came out to say they were wrong. I guess your attack dogs were the wrong ones eh?

destiny said...

Love that goose Special, great find!

Hadn't looked at Soapy's twitter in ages, very interesting about the lack of support for her "boyfriend".


I'm planning on seeing The Beginners later this week. I will probably wait for Beautiful Boy to come out on DVD as I'm just not that interested in it.

rude said...

?? Quit being a jerk. Special admitted that you were right about the picture and said when and where she got it. There's no reason to go after her.

prairiegirl said...

That's quite all right. I don't need no stinkin' crutches to tell me Jake & Austin have been together since they met at auditions for TDAT.

There's plenty of other evidence in the sea.

Particularly one circa August 2010. It was called Leadville.

prairiegirl said...

Well, mostly together. I guess you have a coupla break ups in there, right? lol


Destiny, I don't normally go to her Twitter anymore. Her twitter is one big ol' Nag Powerpoint Presentation. I can't take it. But I did check it out yesterday and today. We're under 24 hours now and the best she can do is nag about styrofoam containers.

Here's a fact: Don't go to her Twitter if you need cheering up or want to feel good.

prairiegirl said...

Conserving, banning, eliminating, boycotting - yeah, it is "great" if you can do it. How about just cutting back?

Because you know what?


Every time you're jumping up & down about going on about banning and eliminating, you're cutting into somebody's production line job and paycheck. So unless you want a nation of nothing but self-sufficient, caveman existent, nudist colony, organic farmers, you better also be coming up with alternative jobs for all these people who you're cutting back on and eliminating their products and their livelihoods.


grrrr, don't get me started.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, no more looking over there. See what happened?


LOL!!! Dang. Got me all stirred up with looking at just one dumb tweet.

Can somebody else take the baton and keep an eye out? lol

Something from the Red Sox about anti-bullying and inclusion.

The Red Sox organization takes the issue of bullying seriously. It is something that has touched many of us and those we love, and it is a growing problem in our community. We are proud of dedicated Red Sox fans like 12-year-old Sam Maden who have taken the courageous step of publicly standing up against bullying of LGBT youth.

The Red Sox have frequently done PSA videos, or public service announcement videos, on important social issues. We are currently producing an “It Gets Better” video to support the It Gets Better campaign to stop bullying of LGBT youth and teen suicides.

We hope that when it is released it will both reflect our continued commitment to be active participants in the community and help advance the efforts of Sam and others to stop bullying. Our team stands for respect and inclusion – there is no place for discrimination or acts of hatred in Red Sox Nation.


Go Sox!

destiny said...

That's great about the Sox, I'd read there was a campaign to get them to do a video for It Gets Better after the Giants did one.

Yeah, Sophia is all about the "do this" isn't she. Wonder if she observes them just the way she pushes for gay rights by bearding.

Special K said...

And the crutches thing, we know that Jake was in NYC in 2006 late summer with a guy on crutches, and that he and Austin were also seen that Aug at a concert in LA and Austin was on crutches. And they were also out shopping for DVD that month with Austin on crutches.

We did find out in 2007 that Austin was on crutches when he finally revealed he broke his ankle the summer of 2006 skateboard, and was trying to keep the producers and Milch from knowing he broke it.

So in fact he did do crutches before Jake's "basketball" accident that had him hobbling on them 2008.

Special K said...

s when he finally revealed he broke his ankle the summer of 2006 skateboard,

That should be "summer of 2006 skateboarding."

Special K said...

And when I saw that goose in those shoes I knew I had to use it.

Florida Tom said...

Awesome thing for the Red Sox organization to be doing. The Phils actually used to have Gay a LGBT night at the ballpark. Not sure what happened with that?

Special K said...

Completely OT:

Mob Getting Footloose at Jefferson Memorial

Last week, five men got cuffed at the Jefferson Memorial for doing a silent dance at the Jefferson Memorial.

The men said they were exercising their rights as citizens to free speech. The Park Police said they were breaking a law recently reaffirmed in court.

This weekend, the dancers are back. And they've brought a posse.

The five original arrestees, whose dance moves earned them arrests and a few body checks, have put out a national call for dancers to come to a "Party at TJ's." Backed by civil liberty group CODEPINK, they've worked to get the word out for more people to join in another session of expressive dancing.

NBC Washington's Tom Sherwood said protesters have been arriving at the Memorial from across the country. One person told NBC he had traveled all the way from California to attend the event.

Austin on Crutches, August 2006

prairiegirl said...

Hey, that's great of the Red Sox, Special. And the Giants. Hopefully, that'll start a trend for the rest of the league..

So Soapy can't even come up with her own words? She does a lame re-tweet?

How long did that take? Like pullin' nails.

I have to repost this comment from last March as well. Just because...


Jake and Austin In Love, Summer 2006 said...

Let me help you M&M. I know the photo you're talking about and it's from August, 2006. It was posted along with these remarks:

Jake and Austin sightings from Death Cab for Cutie Concert,

August 14, 2006:

-yep, we saw him there. he was like 3 rows behind us. in all black, hat, shirt, and jeans. with a guy in crutches. so hot, dancing up a storm. yummmm!.
-Saw him there backstage with his date, some guy in crutches.
-he was there. actually was dancing to the beat! he's quite good and much cuter in person. the guy on crunches was austin nichols... when the slow songs were playing, jake was holding up his blackberry for someone on the other line to hear...
- Saw Austin and Jake at the concert and they were mighty fine lookin. They were most certainly on a date and Jake was swaying to the music and kept looking at Austin. Wish I had had my camera becuz I wanted a photograph of the two hot men on a date.

destiny said...

Wonder if someone told Soapy she better say something.

Movies are now $13 a pop here, so I don't go to as many in the theaters as I used to, especially films that I know it won't matter to see on the small screen, like Beautiful Boy. Some theaters you can go for $6 before noon, but none of the art houses offer that option.

Methodical Muser said...

Soapy is such a famewhore I can see her elbowing her way to the front of the line tomorrow and geting a twitpic standing beside the Grand Marshal. Then for a rousing encore, she'll wear four inch heels while performing a wheelie off a compost pile.

Special K said...

Thanks for posting that details of the sighting of the guys that summer M&M. (And it is always too cute how they were at the concert) I thought I would give it a rest for a bit. ;)

Methodical Muser said...

I am very proud of the San Francisco Giants who, as an organization, have consistently provided leadership in areas often considered off limits (too controversial) by the sports community. In 1994, for instance, the Giants became the first Major League Baseball team to dedicate a game every year to the Until There's a Cure Foundation -- raising money for HIV and AIDS research at a time when victims were still being stigmatized.

LOLLLL!!!

I fully expect it. Does Getty Images do charity bike rides? If so, I would expect 60 pics minimum.

prairiegirl said...

Boy, Orlando Bloom's little baby boy Flynn sure is cute. He looks just like his daddy. He's at that little cuddly stage where they are so much fun to hold.

Poor little baby, though. You just don't see the 3 of them all together very much. And when Orlando & Miranda are together, they have about a yardstick's width between them.

At least the BTs have two real parents, although neither of BTs' parents will be seen together.

Come to think of it, not sure how much better that is than Orlando's situation. HW is just screwed up, you know that?

prairiegirl said...

JustJared posted that French interview of Bradley Cooper's.

WOW.

lol. Man oh man, I sat and watched & listened and I didn't know what in the heck he was saying, but he was saying it great. And he looked HOT.

I was scampering around on DataLounge and found a thread that was discussing some hanky panky suspected between ol' Bradley and Liam Neesom (sp?) during the filming of the A-Team. Does Brad go for the older types, I wonder?

Bradley looked totally hot in that French interview. Yowsa, yowsa.

**sigh**. I remember back when Jake used to have "that look".

prairiegirl said...

And you all know what "look" I'm talking about, don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, lol.

datalounge said...

Bradley Cooper Liam Neeson on Graham Norton

prairiegirl said...

WOW, Bradley looks like he wants to snuggle up to ol' Liam, doesn't he?!
Bradley certainly Mr. Touchy Feely, isn't he? Awwww, how cute.

I'm kinda likin' this hook up. Wonder who Bradley is seeing now???

Thanks for the video!! I'll be watching that again!

the real m said...

Wow is right. Bradley can barely restrain himself. That hug was more that just two buddies saying hello. Liam looks pretty sexy there. Must say I had not given Bradley much thought before but between the French interview and that clip, I will be paying more attention to him in future. Of course we just watched Liam with Peter in the Kinney film the other day.

I watched Blue Valentine this evening. Good acting, but painful to watch and not a feel good movie at all. Ryan's performance was damn good but I'm glad I waited for netflix to see it. Too much of a downer for my taste.

prairiegirl said...

I should've put an hourglass on that hug of Bradley's, m. LOL! Dang. That hug went on forever, didn't it?

There was another video link on that DL thread from YouTube of what I think was the premiere of A-Team and Liam's arm sure went around Bradley's shoulders with some familiarity. Very nice.

prairiegirl said...

I'm getting a verbal complaint on my Papa Smurf.

:D

destiny said...

It's so funny how Bradley seems so hot in that interview speaking french, I've seen lots of discussion about that on Towleroad and DL. Never thought that of him. I've liked him in smaller supporting roles in comedies, but just can't quite think of him as a leading man, and yet his career is on fire because he seems to bring them in.

There's been chatter that Liam Neeson took to hooking up with young rentboy types after his wife died, and now the gossip about Bradley. His marriage seemed genuine, so maybe he is bi????

I loved Blue Valentine, I thought Ryan and Michelle were both incredible in it, but yeah, it is a real downer.

Music To My Ears said...

That French interview did it for me too - I haven't seen Bradley in much, I don't think. He's very good looking, but this sets him above and beyond. :) It's that he's so fluent and has such command of the language in that interview. I'd like to see him in a serious film, for sure. He has eyes that remind me of a fox too.

Me Again said...

^^I have always, always loved Liam too. I wonder if he will be in TDKR as Ra's al Ghul again? I like when there's continuity, makes it more real, and Nolan's Batman films have a realism to them anyway. There will never be another Batman like his.

prairiegirl said...

I didn't know Liam was in The Dark Knight - I don't remember. LOL - all I remember is Heath practically. Fancy that. I'll have to take another look. I liked Liam in Love Actually and come to think of it, I saw him in that film with Jodie Foster and Natasha Richardson, although I don't remember much about that film; see, I can't even remember the name of it now.

I haven't always been a huge fan of Bradley's but once in awhile. I did like him in Hangover but that's all I've seen him in, frankly. But wow, that interview. LOL - I think that interview did it for a lot of people!

And now having watched two vids of him & Liam - pretty hot. And intriguing.

He seemed like a natural to me speaking French. If I was just seeing that for the first time, I would have thought he was a native. I liked his hair and he wasn't saturated in beard.

I also find it interesting how he's called "Bradley" instead of Brad. I don't know of any 'Bradley's. All I know are Brad's. I kind of liken that to a lot of people & bloggists still referring to Jake as Jakey.

No one calls Brad Pitt "Bradley" Pitt. As in ever. lol

Ol' Austie is up & at 'em early! Why couldn't they do a live stream from the River Ride?

lol

prairiegirl said...

Mmm mm mmm.

Jared Leto has a commercial out for Hugo Boss on Just Jared. Very, very nice. He still looks great.

He was kind of lost in all that multi-colored hair, punk look but man, he cleaned up very, very well for that commercial. Jared Leto still very cute.

Very.

Cute.

Very.

I'm surprised I can remember what the commercial was for, lol. Great weekend for internet eye candy watching! Although I'm afraid Austin's twitpic of tight fitting clothing did not seem to best exemplify his words, lol. He did just say 'tight' without any descriptive adjectives, I guess. He didn't twist the truth!

prairiegirl said...

You know, I really don't know why Jake could not be seen at the LA River Ride.

1. He's a "friend" of Austin Nichols.

2. He is a bicycle enthusiast.

3. He lives in L.A.

4. It would be good PR to participate in this event of the LACBC - looks like they do a lot for the biking community.

5. What else was he going to be doing on a Sunday morning as far as the "general public" knows? Drinking coffee? Go for a ride, see a buddy, and get great exercise, have fun.

It was a win-win. But oh no. Austin has yellow Caution tape all around him. C'mon Jake, be out & daring for once in your doggone life. Be seen with your guy. He's the Grand Marshal, for cryin' out loud.

**sigh**

Special K said...

Not the greatest twitpic. It's from the Mayor of LA, it's of them kicking off the River Ride.

http://twitpic.com/57ey2g

destiny said...

Well said PG about Jake and the LA River Ride.

I don't always like romcoms, so many of them are bad, but one I find really funny is Failure to Launch, with McBongo, SJP, and in a small but very funny role, Bradley Cooper. Kathy Bates and Terry Bradshaw are also good in it.

prairiegirl said...

Is that Austin in the middle, Special?

destiny said...

You know, I think one of the reasons Cooper speaking french is so hot is that it is so unexpected and also the naturalness to it.

Jake never ever does anything unexpected anymore. Everything is planned and never has a natural feel to it.

Special K said...

Yes that is Austin in the middle, and not sure if you can see it, he had his handy dandy backpack on too.

prairiegirl said...

I didn't know Brad Cooper was in Failure to Launch.

A lot of tweets going on about the River Ride. What does one carry in their backpack!backpack! on a bike ride, anyway?

prairiegirl said...

Boy, what kind of phone camera is that the ol' Mayor is using? That isn't the best of pictures. Even zooming that twitpic out, I can hardly tell that's Austin. Gee whiz.

And ol' Soapy must be waiting for everyone at the finish line since she can't seem to get the twitter fingers moving for the Start.

That's pathetic. She couldn't even put in a word for the River Ride. Sorry but there is something up with that.

And not only that, but there has not been one single word on the Forum about it either. Talk about a Pink Elephant in the Room. Not one single mention and they normally would have been hoping for "pictures" of the GF there with her man by now. Everyone must be on standby.

Music Lover said...

I'm not big on romcoms either - I like one that is a bit different, like 500 Days of Summer. JGL was so sweet and heartbreaking in that. Summer didn't know what she was missing.

The name Bradley suits Bradley Cooper, I think. Liam Neeson's name I love. Liam.

Good luck to Austin today - it did seem like he gave a less than enthusiastic response about his romance on the television news clip, didn't it.

Liam Neeson was in Batman Begins, they say he isn't going to be in TDKR but we can hope! I loved him in Schindlers List among other films, and there was not a dry eye in the house after that film. :(

Florida Tom said...

Wow Bradley was very yummy in that video. I love when masculine men are not afraid of expressing effection for each other physically whether Str8 or gay.

Don't expect anything from Jake or Austin PG. You will feel better. I am afraid the charade will go on forever.
