..............................
We’re at the school quiz. Jake proves he is the smartest one, despite Son of Howard wearing specs, as he answers some random question and looks suitably smug. Emmy is distracted from Jake’s cleverness by some much less attractive git across the room. Maybe she should borrow Son of Howard’s specs. Jake is terrified by ugly git scamming on his chick.
Quiz is over, now we’re getting down. Emmy brought a sexy dress, just in case Jake was distracted by all the other nerds in their school uniforms. Jake says she looks beautiful. And I agree. Man, if I wasn’t waiting for Jake, I’d give you my heart Emmy. However, she is not very impressed with Jake’s compliment as she decides to go off with Ugly Git who has the world’s ‘coolest’ name – JD – leaving Jake behind to pretend he’s a cup-holder. If you want my advice Jake, if she should get herself in some kind of predicament, say she’s helping some French people out of taxi while a giant wave is coming towards her, LEAVE HER BEHIND!!! Son of Howard says Jake seems to have competition in the form of Ugly Git. Maybe SOH needs to borrow SOH’s glasses. Wait…
At DQ’s place, it’s thundery and the phone is ringing. It’s Bilbo calling from Scotland. He explains about the cold buoys and DQ panics that a new ice age is coming within the next half an hour. Hope Jake remembered to take his skis. Hope that’s how you spell skis.
Two peeps in LA are getting it on instead of monitoring the weather. In a disaster movie about killer weather. If they die, Darwin wrote the script. The Non-weather-monitoring-guy leaves to answer the phone and talks to a man observing Tokyo-style falling ice on the beach. As we watch, a tornado forms over LA. Man, when it’s not tornados in that town its volcanoes.
Back in Washington, DQ, his boss, New Guy and a pretty Asian lady are talking about doing computer models on Bilbo’s buoys in order to do a forecast. All you need for that, guys is a green screen and a button to change the pictures.
LA, always a city for going over the top, now has about eight tornadoes, one of which takes out the Hollywood sign. Where are all the tourists going to have their picture taken now? Oh that’s right, at the fake Hollywood sign at Universal Pictures. Some dick on the news asks if anyone in the midst of these eight tornadoes is hurt. Where did you go to journalism school? Cars rain down on a news van, a guy in a Porsche is crushed by a bus. Do YOU think people got hurt?
Cut to Jake and the Super-Nerds watching Porsche-crushing on the news. Jake’s wearing a sexy grey t-shirt despite the disaster surrounding him. Gotta look good when they dig you out of that rubble. Back to tornado central where the room is a rocking, and not because the non-weather monitoring people have gone back to woohoo. Non-weather-monitoring-guy opens the blinds. Oh, now you wanna see what the weather is doing? There’s a crash and when the floor-buffer-er goes to see the fate of our canoodling couple, the entire room has been blown away. Darwin, please collect your Oscar™ for Best Screenplay.
Cut to Vice Prez filling in Real Prez. Note: not an innuendo, they are not having sex. Real Prez is obviously modelled after Real World Leaders as he immediately asks someone else what he should do.
Cut to Super-Nerds and Jake. SOH has been on the phone to his Mum, probably crying that the other nerds are picking on him. That’s what I used to do anyway. He changes the TV channel, much to everyone’s disappointment until they realise CSI is on. Just kidding, but is it me, or is it always on? It’s news about planes being grounded so they have to stay put. That’ll give Jake more time to do the deed with Emmy. Or SOH. No, we decided it was girls.
Back to DQ’s office where his boss says there’s lots of work to do. No shit Sherlock, half of LA just got hoovered up, along with your two best weather monitors there. All the clever weather peeps at DQ’s place are bitching about how the weird weather couldn’t possibly be connected. Man, I need to get me a job there – OF COURSE IT IS! Before I can get me an interview, DQ explains his theory about there being too much water in the sea. The rest of the movie documents how DQ got into rehab for glue-sniffing. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF SENTENCE IS THAT!?! Hang on – “We’ve just hit a critical desalinisation point.” Holy shit! Isn’t that one of the signs of the apocalypse, along with the Ron from Harry Potter making films with the word ‘pants’ in the title?
DQ and the gang adopt Pretty Asian Lady to help make weather forecasts with help from Bilbo. New Guy Who Destroys Antarctic Shelves tries to chat up Pretty Asian Lady with a handshake. Old Guy Who Croaks Before The End smacks him upside the head. Man, if I weren’t waiting for Jake, and you weren’t going to die before the end, I’d give you my heart Old Guy Who Croaks Before The End.
Cut to Movie Mom who is predictably a doctor. She’s looking after a small bald child called Peter who cannot read. But he won’t be able to enjoy the Da Vinci Code! Not that many people did. (Note: I have recently been informed that Peter cannot read because he has a tumour on his brain. Whoops, my bad!)
Back to DQ and Friends who are fiddling with computers - www.jakewatch.com, ladies and gents. Old Guy Who Croaks Before The End tells us DQ is the only one who hasn’t taken a break. None of you lazy bastards should be taking a break. The world’s coming to an end, Jake’s in mortal peril and you lot are round the bloody water cooler chatting about Brangelina? DQ ignores my rant and goes for a nap. Don’t be surprised if you wake up under water then. Pretty Asian Lady asks if he’s always this obsessive. What, about napping? She asks how long the gang have been together and New Guy explains in a way that is supposed to be funny that he is New Guy and the Old Guy Who Croaks Before The End is the Old Guy Who Croaks Before The End. However, not funny.
A second later, though we’re meant to believe it’s hours later – secrets of the business people – they go down to wake up DQ. He is obviously upset by the results. Turns out he’s not Jake’s Dad. Oh sorry, wrong results. DQ says 6-8 months can’t be right. There is a flash of lightening as Pretty Asian Lady says “No Dumbass, that’s in weeks. Learn to read.”
It’s raining like crazy in New York. Jake’s on the phone to DQ telling him the school is full of sewage. There’s a pleasant image. Hands up who still would if Jake was covered in sewage? DQ asks Jake where he’s staying tonight. Little perspective DQ, world ending and all that jazz. Jake’s staying with the New York branch of the Super-Nerds. Oooh, they can stay up, discussing which Nobel Prize they want to win when they grow up – it’ll be just like Chemistry camp except less poison ivy. Jake watches Ugly Git chatting with Emmy as he complains about the stench of the sewage. Little perspective Jake, world ending and all that jazz. Jake says he’ll take the train. Jake, if the trains don’t run ’cos there are leaves on the track, I don’t think they’ll be running in a flood. But what do I know, try your luck. Jake goes to meet his gang to discover that Ugly Git – momentarily promoted to Ugly Sneering Git will be providing their accommodation. Jake looks less than pleased. He was probably hoping to get in a sleeping bag with Emmy. I know I was. Hoping he would that is, not me. Phew, think I got away with that.

Tune in quite damn soon for Part 3 of this most epic review.
124 comments:
yes! was eagerly awaiting this! [off to read]
I love you Anneka......well I like you a lot anyways! Ugly Sneering Git..priceless!!
LOL Anneka. Its like i'm watching the film right in front of me!
Jake’s wearing a sexy grey t-shirt despite the disaster surrounding him.
thanks for mentioning that—i’ve ALWAYS thought jake looks hottest in that scene
He changes the TV channel, much to everyone’s disappointment until they realise CSI is on. Just kidding, but is it me, or is it always on?
so it’s not a u.s. only thing, huh?
that Ugly Git – momentarily promoted to Ugly Sneering Git
haha, i have to say, austin looks pretty good sometimes (e.g. at the famous laker game), but mostly i think he just looks like a sneering not-that-pretty-pretty-boy-jerk… (ducks)
speaking of pseudonyms, why is emmy rossum the only cast member besides jake to get the honor of escaping your wrath? hmm, you’re not hiding your girl-crush very well!
LOL!
He changes the TV channel, much to everyone’s disappointment until they realise CSI is on. Just kidding, but is it me, or is it always on? Yes it always on!
This was even funnier than the first and that's saying a lot becaue the first part was funny as hell! Heee. I'm not offended about Austin's name in the film. I know that he and Sam share a love that will never grow old. Heee *nooch!*
Yes Smurfette, I likes me a bit of Emmy Rossum. She's so cute. If I was to turn, it would probably be with her. Because Britpop made her totally platonic feelings for me very clear.
yeah, she's cute in this movie. it doesn't hurt that she looks a little like a young angelina sometimes. wait-- i forget, but isn't that britpop's celebrity crush too? do i see a girl-crush trend here?
Anneka, Emmy is mine ok?, you should work in "Jake Watch" the movie, what a witty review!
^^^ I've been telling her that for months. But she never listens to me. I'm on the edge of my seat, Anneka! What will happen next?! OK, I know what will happen next, but it's more fun when you tell me. Also, I have no complaints about Austin's alias. Actually, I thought that was his real name. It's not? My bad.
I don't know if "Ugly Git" was done on purpose or not but I do find it unfortunate. Everyone's free to their opinions but I think Austin gets too much shit from people who direct their anger at him for the Jake/Austin rumors. I've seen so many people call him ugly, untalented, accusing him of only hanging out with Jake for the attention, etc. I just feel really bad for the guy.
I actually really liked Austin's character in this one. Do we ever find out if his brother is okay? Maybe I'll just pretend he is even if it's more likely the kid didn't make it. But anyway, I was impressed with how they handled Austin's character because they could've just made him the asshole guy who starts competing with Jake's character for the girl. But instead, they had Austin's character helping them all as best as he could and even telling Jake's character to go for it with the girl.
Jake’s on the phone to DQ telling him the school is full of sewage.
Have you guys noticed a certain Kirsten Dunst behind Jake in that scene...? She was visiting Jake on the set that day and ended up in an uncredited cameo role.
Witty as always Anneka! *Impatiently waiting for part 3.*
I don't know if "Ugly Git" was done on purpose or not but I do find it unfortunate.
Ah, I knew this would happen! Look what you did, Anneka! You got the anons speaking out. Trust me anon, Anneka just thinks Austin is unattractive in this role. Nothing deeper. I don't think she is even that aware of Jake/Austin because she lives in Wales. She has no anger. She has problems but not anger. So chill.
Have you guys noticed a certain Kirsten Dunst behind Jake in that scene...?
The funny part was my Dunst sense picked it up before I even think I acutally knew that was her in that scene.
If only I could put that talent to good use.
anon, i‘m sorry if austin gets crap sometimes for the jake rumors, but honestly, that’s not my reason for not feelin any love for him. i’ve always thought he was meh, even before i was aware of the rumors. in the same way, i’ve bashing kirsten way before i even knew who jake gyllenhaal was. so it’d be unfair to say i’m reacting like a fangirl. of course, i only speak for myself.
anyway, like you said, it’s just a matter of personal preference. i know there's a lot of austin love out there, and i admit both austin and kirsten have their moments, but i just don’t like them that much. and like britpop says, anneka was just giving us some anneka humor. i hope everyone can tell from her tone, and the general tone of this blog that there's no hate here-- just jake-love and general joking around.
cina, i didn't notice kiki until i listened to the dvd commentary either, but now i always see her!
I am entitled to my own opinions, no? I find the name "ugly git" for Austin very unfair and inaccurate.
Nonetheless, it's still very funny to read.
Trust me anon, Anneka just thinks Austin is unattractive in this role. Nothing deeper. I don't think she is even that aware of Jake/Austin because she lives in Wales.
I'm just saying, given all that happened in just the last couple of weeks, that I find it unfortunate. (Though I don't know what living in Wales has to do with anything, if she has the internet, that means she has access to the information.)
of COURSE everyone's entitled to their opinions! the review is just anneka's, and anyway, we're not supposed to take it seriously! i'm pretty sure son of howard is pretty unfair and inaccurate too!
Though I don't know what living in Wales has to do with anything, if she has the internet, that means she has access to the information.)
britpop's comment was a joke, an attempt to lighten the situation by redirecting attention to anneka and "her problems". get it?
given all that happened in just the last couple of weeks
wait a sec, what are you talking about?
Pray what is this banner everyone's raving about?
I fear I see nothing on my screen, not even future sex prince aka yellow frog.
Haha lovin' the review,and the inevitable fallout from 'ugly git'.
Guaranteed to bring out the anonymous lurking out.
kokodee, how were you able to acquire such a kickass new avatar if you can not see the banner? think TBL's pussy would approve of your kitty?
The banner is of big boobied cartoon girlies. Looks like Danger Girls I think. Umm Austin is cute in profile and really as long as your cute in profile it's all good! Anon 10:46 I totally agree with you. In fact I was so surprised that people dis this movie so. They did defy that convention and they took some risks and it was interesting for a big budget CGI fest. Plus it had The Sex in his first big role.
Christ almighty, why do folks think that any mention of Austin Nichols is immeadiately a vicious attack. Get some perspective - the whole world does not revolve around Jaustin rumors. Lighten up. That was one funny ass synopsis.
Looks like Danger Girls I think.
Sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You'll give our alter egos away!
And yeah, I was enlightened to see Austin's character turn out the way it did. I thought he'd be on Jake's ass the whole time.
Guaranteed to bring out the anonymous lurking out.
FYI, I may be anonymous but I've hardly been lurking. I've gotten involved with many conversations and usually comment a few times under nearly every subject so don't assume things just because someone is anonymous and doesn't care for picking on Austin, even if it's done in jokes. Personally I don't like picking on anyone who is seemingly friends with Jake because I feel that if he DOES happen to ever stop by these boards, it's not fun to read mean things said about friends and family. (Not saying I think Jake reads these boards, but there's always the chance and while freedom of speech and expressing your opinions are fine, I don't see any real reason to insult people.)
Ah, thanks squallcloud for that vision.
Thanks smurfette, but the combo of villan and pussy was made during the 'bond' era, and maybe its time for me to embrace something entirely wholesome: I'm thinking a cherub with an afro to rival squall's, we need an antithesis to big-boobies, no?
Anneka, you're bleadin' hilarious!! LMAO through the whole thing! Can't wait for part 3!!
FYI, I may be anonymous but I've hardly been lurking. I've gotten involved with many conversations and usually comment a few times under nearly every subject so don't assume things just because someone is anonymous and doesn't care for picking on Austin, even if it's done in jokes.
My bad!
Since you do comment a lot, may I suggest a face to your comments?
How about joining me as the in-house villan?

Perhaps you should head over to WFT, where the Austin love is abundant. WFT has really upped the ante.
I thought the JW/WFT-issue was over and done by now.... *sigh*
The banner is of big boobied cartoon girlies. Looks like Danger Girls I think
That's all good but where do the boys fit into all this?
I love your blog brit, but I wish you would make us feel more welcome here. The screaming girls thing gets a bit too much at times.
I don't think she is even that aware of Jake/Austin because she lives in Wales.
I don't know what living in Wales has to do with anything, if she has the internet, that means she has access to the information.
Have you ever been to Wales, Anon?
The screaming girls thing gets a bit too much at times.
I'm sorry??
I love your blog brit, but I wish you would make us feel more welcome here. The screaming girls thing gets a bit too much at times.
well in true Bond tradition aren't the only vacancies for anonymous henchmen or mad (and doomed) villians? Unless you want to jump into drag.....
Cina I'm not trying to start anything, I'm just directing the poster to a blog more Austin friendly. I was just expressing how I like the direction it's going in. We are free to speak as we please right? As long as it's not offensive.
well in true Bond tradition aren't the only vacancies for anonymous henchmen or mad (and doomed) villians? Unless you want to jump into drag
Lol! That would be a sight for sore eyes, indeed.
That's all good but where do the boys fit into all this?
Here, in Jake Watch, the boys are mere sex toys ours, lol.
If Anneka's " ugly sneering git" is what you are referring to when you say "the direction it's going in" I have to say you're overreacting imo. We are not Austin unfriendly here at all. It is a JOKE. And I didn't realize you were talking about that when you were wondering where the boys fit in here among the cartoon girlies. Where does Austin come in all of the sudden?
boy anon, i see you point. it'd be nice to see more than a few girls on the banner. i think others have asked that other ethnicities be represented as well. and there's nothing wrong with adding a few villains if that's the only way to keep the theme and have males in the mix, kokodee's avatar is a villain and it's great!
that said, i don't appreciate the "screaming girls" indictment. we're witty, philosphical, at-times intellectual too! much like jake :)
cina, i think you are confusing me with anon 1.02 and 1.13.
I have no problem whatsoever with austin or the blog in general. Just that as a guy, I feel a little left out with the themes of bond girls and big cartoon boobs.
In reference to kokodee's earlier post about lurking anonymous posters I think one of the reason's is we feel out of place.
I honestly don't mean to cause offense but I was just staing my very humble opinion.
Please forgive me anon 1:36! It does get confusing with all anon posters. Once again I'm sorry!
And I do get your point. :-)
I hear ya boy anon. Even though im female (i think) I have a certain aversion to overt femininity (lets just say I ain't girly girly). Hence my rather ambigious avatar, complete with fierce pussy.
Do try and hook-up with a villan or at least just a name like smurfette/muffin do. Its always nice to be able to put a name to a comment you know.
That's all good but where do the boys fit into all this?
I love your blog brit, but I wish you would make us feel more welcome here. The screaming girls thing gets a bit too much at times.
The girls on the banner represent me, prophecygirl and anneka. Sorry, but we all happen to be female and white.
If you want to be represented here than get yourself a name and an avator. You obv that ain't that bothered if you're happy posting as 'anonymous'.
I honestly don't think this comment is genuine so I won't go on and on.
boy anon (hope you don't mind this alias), i agree with the others--the estrogen overload you're sensing prolly comes from the fact that the 3 authors are girls (britpop, prophecy girl, now anneka). also the bond theme. i don't think they mean to exclude anyone-- it's just the tone of the blog.
it is a personal blog, but that said, all jake fans are welcome in to comment here. i'm sure there are other males out here? holla back! man, where's eugene when you need him!
It's not a general jake fan site...it's Britpop's personal blog....
Thanks, muffin! I've tried to make myself more accessable by being less British, etc but at the end of the day I just want to write what I want and now PG and Anneka write what they want to write too, without politics getting involved!
To address a couple of people's points in one post:
Since you do comment a lot, may I suggest a face to your comments?
You mean like an icon or just a name? I admit the reason I stay anonymous is more just because it's the easiest button below to push when posting and I'm all for easy when it comes to online. (I'll throw a name on if that's better.)
Perhaps you should head over to WFT, where the Austin love is abundant. WFT has really upped the ante.
Actually I like to go to both of these sites. I don't know what I believe when it comes to Jake as I don't personally know the guy so I enjoy hitting up various places for different aspects of the fandom.
Have you ever been to Wales, Anon?
Yes, I have. I went to Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and England just last year for the summer (I have some family out there). I'm not sure what the point of your question was though...
I think one of the reason's is we feel out of place.
I'll have to agree with that since there are seemingly more women than men here. I don't think people do it on purpose but it does feel like that.
why don't you think i'm genuine?
I respect its your personal blog and i do usually lurk more than i post, but i can see i've upset some people. sorry.
man, i just noticed muffin's also converted to blogger! fine... i guess i've resisted long enough and i love this blog too much to stay on the fringe. britpop, you should get a commission from blogger!
and yes, you gals please keep writing what you want.
I'll have to agree with that since there are seemingly more women than men here. I don't think people do it on purpose but it does feel like that.
What can be done? Honestly, any ideas? And I don't mean that in a threatening way - I'm genuinely asking. This place is supposed to be humourous - that is it's one and only aim. Yes there appears to be more woman than men but that's surely because there are more straight/bi women that fancy Jake then gay/bi men?
I've tried to make myself more accessable by being less British
Lol! I've noticed that i use y'all and dude a little too much online.
You mean like an icon or just a name? I admit the reason I stay anonymous is more just because it's the easiest button below to push when posting and I'm all for easy when it comes to online. (I'll throw a name on if that's better.)
Nice to know you Michael. Its real easy to hook up with an avatar. Makes you memorable.
boy_anon, its also nice to meet you so to speak.
why don't you think i'm genuine?
I respect its your personal blog and i do usually lurk more than i post, but i can see i've upset some people. sorry.
No worries. I apologise. It just stresses me out because I don't mean to offend or exclude anyone. I wanted JW to be the one happy place that ALL Jakes could visit and just have a good laugh.
Lol! I've noticed that i use y'all and dude a little too much online.
Oh I use 'dude' all the time in real life! Ironically of course ;)
And the britpopbaby above was me, Blogger signed me out for some reason.
I love your British acid touch, British humor is a little like Aragonese and catalan irony : Seny and Rauxa, seny signifies "common sense"; it means what Samuel Johnson meant by "bottom," an instinctive sense of order, in traditional Catalan terms it comes close to "natural wisdom" and Rauxa is a relief from seny that means "uncontrollable emotion, outburst" It applies to any kind of irrational or Dionysaic or (sometimes) just plain dumb activity- getting drunk, screwing around, burning churches, or disrupting the social concensusm, haha joking, the same Jake Watch.
Brits don't change a thing! It's your blog do what you like! I'm happy with my Pussy! You always come up with great idea and don't stop being british.
Why do people alwasy moan?
Seriously. What happened with this post. I thought we were talking about The Day After Tomorrow.
I take it you are not British then Michael? If you were then the reference to Wales would not have missed the mark with you - call it the British sense of humour....
Nope, I'm American. I guess it did miss my mark which wouldn't be the first time. Not just the sense the humor which I didn't always get when I spent time out there but I also sometimes forget about the slang. I remember the first time I went to London when I was 16 and a guy asked me if I "had a fag" and I said yes because I thought that was just a different way of asking if you were gay and had a boyfriend. The guy got pissed when it turned out I didn't have a cigarette for him.
I loved The Day After Tomorrow. PG was it you who really liked it as well??
I'm sure lots of people did not really like this movie much! Or am i making that up!
What can be done? Honestly, any ideas? And I don't mean that in a threatening way - I'm genuinely asking. This place is supposed to be humourous - that is it's one and only aim.
Honestly I don't think there is anything you can really do. Not that comes to mind at the moment. I didn't say that to make you feel an obligation to help make it more inviting for the guys or anything. It's not even always the way it feels just once in awhile. At least for me anyway. No worries, you're doing a good job, it just happens sometimes.
Yes there appears to be more woman than men but that's surely because there are more straight/bi women that fancy Jake then gay/bi men?
There are a lot of us gay/bi fans out there, I just think a lot of them are more scattered than the straight/bi women may be. By that I mean, we have a lot of our own forums where Jake or other actors might be discussed. So many of his gay/bi fans might not think to come here or IHJ. I do know quite a few that lurk though (meaning they'll bring up something from here on a different board or else it's someone from my life offline who will bring it up).
Please don't stress out. I wouldn't have my fix of witty posts if you did.
I think my meaning may have been lost in translation. smurfette explanation of the trio of female writers, and why one may feel a little overwhelmed as a result puts it in perspective.
Of course it dosen't mean that you are delibrately shutting out anyone and my sincere apologies if it sounded that way.
No worries. I apologise. It just stresses me out because I don't mean to offend or exclude anyone. I wanted JW to be the one happy place that ALL Jakes could visit and just have a good laugh.
I think your nasty attitude makes a lot of people feel excluded. Calling it British humor is just a coput. You're very rude and inflexible, and I don't care if you like to hear it or not.
Aww! you guys are such a sweet bunch.
*wipes tear* I'm touched,
brits/anneka/pg should be proud of their endaevours.
I think your nasty attitude makes a lot of people feel excluded. Calling it British humor is just a coput. You're very rude and inflexible, and I don't care if you like to hear it or not.
See now boys? The need to standout? you never want to be caught up with the demented amongst us.
NRM, I LOVE TDAT. I'm one of the few. I always enjoy a good disaster flick and God knows I'm interested in global warming! Plus, the peanut scene and an eerily accurate representation of our current inept administration...box office gold in my book! ;)
You know, "the people who comment" contribute to the popularity of this site, too.Lots of us lurk bcz of Jake and bcz it's often hilarious. But it is often rather puerile and high schoolish, too. And some of you are rather clique-ish, probably like you were in high school. Interesting premise: to control growth by being snobs.
If I could weigh in on the whole screaming girl thing...that accusation has been directed at this blog from several arenas and in response, it's we overplay that aspect. We're bitchy like that. ;)
There should have been a "possible" between "it's" and "we." Sorry!
I was a nerd in high school. Just for the record.

Were you now? Would never have guessed.

i'm confused, what are you saying? are we the "people who comment"? and so do we contribute to the popularity of this site because we're screaming girls/hilarious/witty? but then popularity is bad because it's clique-ish?
and man, how is anyone controlling growth by being snobs? brits has stressed herself out time and again trying to please as many people as possible when it's her blog. it's really unfair to criticize her if you don't get her humor. those who do, stay. that's not exclusion, that's just preference. i for one don't want this blog to lose its snarkiness/edge. and there is nothing wrong with lurking if you prefer that.
Ok can I just weigh in as one of the anonymous men that enjoys this site as well as other gay/bi blogs like towleroad and pink is the new blog. I think a lot of us are being overtly critical of britpopbaby. writing a blog you can only write in your own perspective and that has nothing to do with being inflexible, rude or snobbish.
You wouldn't accuse andrew towle of being heterophobic for chosing to write from his perspective as a gay man? why would you begrudge britpopbaby, for writing as she choses?
With specific reference to anon 2:36 I think you are the one who needs to have a reality check. Your comment sadly says more about you than any indictment on the blog mistress.
Nice to know you Michael.
You too, Kokodee. While I have commented here awhile, I see how much easier it is to have a name down. ;)
Sorry that this seems to have opened up a huge thing. I honestly didn't mean for that to happen. I was just feeling bad for Austin lately (even though I don't personally know the guy).
On topic, I actually only first saw TDAT this summer when my boyfriend made me watch it. I like action movies but not usually disaster flicks. This one wasn't bad. I did like that J.D. and Sam didn't get into some lame fight over Laura (I didn't think that sounded right but IMDB says that was her name). And even though it wasn't in this part of the review, I really liked the hug between Sam and his dad at the end. It was very sweet and Jake made the perfect facial expression during the hug. (Not really a fan of Dennis Quaid though but Jake made it a cute scene.)
nice guy, and michael, welcome! and yeah, back on topic, though jake does (in my opinion) the least "acting" in TDAT, i will always have a place in my heart for it, since it introduced me to him, and man, didn't he just charm his way into your heart doing promos for his first big movie?
OT: speaking of edge, my avatar sux... where are those sexy smurfette pics when u need them?
Lol, I can't wait to see anneka's description of the 'wolves' chasing the boys on screen.
Not jake's best movie by a long stretch, but when you are 'watching' it through the eyes of anneka suddenly there is this compulsion to see the entire damn thing again.
OT
kendra, wtf happened?????????
Anneka, your reviews are true genuis! What a total hoot!!!!
Terrible news, I'm afraid I've deleted all my blog by mistake and it's impossible to recover it, since it was gratuite. Now I feel like shit.
I thought the JW/WFT-issue was over and done by now.... *sigh*
I couldn't agree more, cina! I'm fed up with that whole thing.
Seriously. What happened with this post. I thought we were talking about The Day After Tomorrow.
Exactly my sentiments. Discussions are always good, but they sometimes tend to get wee bit hostile. And OT. With that being said, it's time for me to get back on topic:
Oh how I wish the actual movie was as great as this review (which it was so not, imho!). Brilliant Anneka! Frickin hysterical! Bring on part 3 real soon, will ya? :-D
Oh my God, Kendra, that's awful!! I'm so sorry!
Terrible news, I'm afraid I've deleted all my blog by mistake and it's impossible to recover it, since it was gratuite. Now I feel like shit.
WTF? Your entire blog?!?! That's horrible!! I'm really sorry to hear that!
*hugs*
aww! you poor schmock. don't worry. I'm sure all that experience of blogging means that the new jakeweird is gonna kick serious ass!
I'm stupid and deserve to die, I suppose. Thanks, girls, I clicked the button to supress thinking it was another button. I am depressed.
muffin, it really is! That was seriously the expression on my face when I read kendra's post!
You're not stupid, kendra, and you most definitely NOT deserve to die! It could've happened to anyone! Again, I'm so sorry!
Thanks, Kokodee, Pg, Phoebe, Muffin... I like all of you, I loved receiving you in my little weirdland *crying while writting*
I'm sorry to hear that Kendra, I loved Jake Weird. I hope everything works out for you and that you rebuild bigger and better than ever.
As for TDAT, I felt like the real star of this film was in fact the snow. Why they don't have Oscars for inanimate objects created by nature - I don't know. Someone should get to work on that.
This is US Weekly so of course take it with a HUGE grain of salt. But did you see the bit about Jake in his mom in this coming week's issue? They have a copy of it at IHJ:
http://iheartjake.suddenlaunch.com/index.cgi?board=gyllenhaalics&action=display&num=1156367049
er, of course I meant Jake AND his mom not Jake in his mom (ew).
I go away for a week -- just seven days, mind you -- and Jake goes to NY while I am out of town & gets a tattoo & is possibly nagged at by his mom.
Moral of the story: One must ask to borrow one's host's computer in order to keep up with all the antics occurring on JakeWatch.
Okay, I haven't been able to follow all of this discussion, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't tone down the britishness of this blog!! I'm from freakin' Kentucky, I'm sure a lot of it goes straight over my head (Wales? What??), but it's the comments about things that "sound shit" that make me laugh the loudest!
On a different note, I've only posted like twice before, and both times I've posted as anonymous, but only 'cause I'm shy...sorry...
Oh, I always thought a couple of the girls here are actually boys, no? Own up, boys.
I feel bad about that gossip rag talking about Jake being nagged by his mom. That's far more personal than even who he might be shtuping. Having said that, "Awwwww!".
Also I'm very pleased that gossip about Jake is like him being nagged about his knees and his happiness by his mom and not ... ya know, doing lines of coke off some starletts ass.
Thank You anneka, I had nothing good to read and crap on TV. No Jake Movie. So reading your story has made my night. Britpop Your site is so cool. Thank You for allowing me to be part of the fun.. Hugs
Because I always double post here's another thing. I'm kind of a psudo-Toothy and Brit and the gang have only been nice and kind to me and indulged me in my wild flights of fancy. It's all just unfounded rumors anyway. Have fun with it. Not that serious. I promise. Even when some jerk tries to hurt my tender feelings someone always stands up for me so there! Anyone who thinks this blog is Austin or even Jaustin phobic can put that in their pipe and smoke it. *growls*
BUBBLEGIRL,
I totally agree with what you said.
Jake’s wearing a sexy grey t-shirt despite the disaster surrounding him.
This is My favorite look for Jake. In this scene he seems to know how great he looks looking like he doesn't know how great he looks.
Does that make sense?
I love this blog. Interesting personalities.
Also I neglected to say how great Anneka's Review is. Wonderful commentary, a fresh slant on a flick we all saw and can now enjoy again. Can't wait for the next installment
bubblegirl - WFT (Waiting For Toothy) is another blog that is about the possibility of Jake and Austin being a couple. Austin is a friend of Jake's, he's an actor and was in The Day After Tomorrow.
Forgot to say that his full name is Austin Nichols.
I guess we've created a little communtiy here and we know each other in that delgihtful 'internet-you-could-be-a-murdering-psychopath-but-you're-just-lovely-on-here' sort of way. We know that squall loves her slash, pg likes her politics, etc, etc. I know who the more mature women are, who the men are, who the Brits are, who the lawyers are. Sorry if that comes out as clique mentality but as Michael said, as soon as you give yourself something to for us to identitfy you by it makes it a lot easy.
And as to the person who called me rude, inflexible and nasty - FUCK YOU. K? Tnxbye.
KENDRA!!! How did you manage to delete Jake Weird?? Please set it back up - do you need any help?
Sorry, my grammar and spelling is more screwed than usual today - I hope you can decipher the above message.
Please set it back up - do you need any help?
I contacted to www.blogger.com assistance team, and they explained me I couldn't do anything to recover it through the dashboard, accidentally I pressed the button "delete blog" an I feel very upset. It was a creation out of work, patience and vanished in a second. Maybe you know any trick/alternative/advice to rescue it from the internet vacuum, I'd be very grateful, brits.
Hahaha!Hilarios review, Anneka!!You should totally start a blog!I'd be curios what it would be about.Reviewing movies would be a hit!
I'm not quite sure where to start.
Thanks for the love those who send love. Love is always appreciated. As is sticking up for me (thank you!). And Muffin, thanks for trying to explain about Wales. It's hard to put living in the Dark Ages into words I know.
People, the review is simply something to entertain you and to fill up the emptiness of my dull grey life. It is not to be taken too seriously or dissected for it's PC-ness. If you find Austin more attractive than Jake, even after borrowing SOH's glasses - see? I'm plugging my own review! - then you are entitled to your opinion. Bask in it, bathe in it, shove it down the throats of others and be joyful.
I'm sorry if Austin's term of endearment has appalled any of you. But I am merely voicing my opinion. BTW, I do not call him Ugly because people have questioned his sexuality. I call him Ugly because he is unnattractive to my eyes. And I wear glasses so do not need to borrow them.
And to the twerp who called Britpop nasty names, don't pick on people who haven't done anything wrong - that's how wars start. And she is very flexible. She does yoga.
And to get back to the subject matter, I like TDAT very much. True, it is fairly awful but I enjoy watching it and that's all that really matters.
And sorry about your techno problems Kendra.
Thanks, Anneka... As you I don't find Austin specially attractive.
Anneka is slightly blind when it comes to men and their sexual attraction. When I had a crush on Jack White she told me I was crazy for loving that pasty ball of grease.
TBL, I was wondering where you were! I missed your wonderful comments! :-)
When I had a crush on Jack White she told me I was crazy for loving that pasty ball of grease.
I disagree with her over the charm of Austin, but I have to say, Anneka has a point there about Jack White... :-P
Squall said: Also I'm very pleased that gossip about Jake is like him being nagged about his knees and his happiness by his mom and not ... ya know, doing lines of coke off some starletts ass.
Me too. I don't like the thought of people listening in on Jake's private conversations, but it's comforting to know that even The Sex gets nagged by his mom... ;D
Hello Cina,
Stop tattooing ,piercing whatever your doing to your beautiful body this minute!
(I do miss the blonde)
My dearest TBL: No tattooing or piercing going on here, I promise! I already have one tattoo and that is enough for me, don't worry dear!
Now, I was afraid you wouldn't agree with my new style, but I promise - for your sake - to use my Hollywood Fashion tape (at least occasionally...) to secure my boobs when I'm out physically defending Jake. Is that ok? I'm sorry you miss the blond, I quite prefer being a brunette myself. :-)

PS, Smurfette! I've found a very cute Smurf!It's not the girl,it's the boy..but he's very cheerful!If you want it,email me!;)
I think your nasty attitude makes a lot of people feel excluded. Calling it British humor is just a coput. You're very rude and inflexible, and I don't care if you like to hear it or not.
I see the person who said this went over and made a comment on WFT. Will some people never learn?
you know it is amazing what avatars can do and i am suprised to see the gender biases on this blog. i thought kokodee was a dude and nothing really matters was a girl until now, lol!
Btw, i love your unique and witty blog. My name is lisa and i am originally from canada now living in brighton. I rarely make any comments only because I feel so out classed by a lot of the smart ones here. But please keep doing what you do, I really enjoy your sense of humor.
And as to the person who called me rude, inflexible and nasty - FUCK YOU. K? Tnxbye.
I would say fuck you too, but you're already fucked. K? Thnxbye.
Yep, that's great.
12:12, the comment at WFT was mine; the one you mention here was made by an American.
