I'm going to speculate that they're a beautiful couple and I'm very happy for them. It's a shame Michelle has been sidelined but meh, what can a girl do when The Sex comes along?
ps: I i heart this blog, and irony in print is beautiful.
well said, anon—i particularly like that your line reminds me of a maggie quote from a new yorker interview. i love that part of article, where she chides jake a bit after his little joke, by saying, “there’s no irony in print”. it's prolly one of my favorite articles on the gyllenhaal siblings, not because it's particularly flattering, but it seems like such an honest portrayal of their big sis-lil bro relationship and banter. they’re cute and funny and smart and witty, and seem not to take themselves too seriously.
hey, britpop, i was waiting for u to comment on a post about daniel craig (future bond) winning the esquire best dressed list, and jake getting #4! cuz i wanted to discuss that a little. so do we know who decides on these things anyway? i mean, my admiration for jake comes from a lot of things, but certainly not his fashion choices (except when the goofiness endears me to him more, or reminds me that he’s capable of making anything look good). maybe they’re just focusing on awards season/public functions where he’s obviously had a stylist’s help and is always flawless? hmm...
and i have to say, these photoshopped pics are among the best i’ve seen! soo cute, too!
These pics made me drool so much over my keyboard that it ain't workin' right no more!Hell,my mouse is in a lake too!Damn you gorgeous boys and photoshop!Damn you!
Absolutely the very best photoshop!!!! They look so sweet together!!!Now THAT's serious chemistry!!!!!! two such beauties...awwww it makes my heart ache to look at them. Oh well.

Wow, I had never really been that turned on by Jake and Heath... (I mean, not gonna lie, the scenes in BBM were hot and all) but these pics, though photoshopped definitely gave me butterlies. Really hot. =)
Thank you. Now we've returned to our regularly scheduled fun. (I'm so imperceptive about photoshop that I can't tell it's not real unless it's so obvious that a child would see it.)
Sad that some nobody gets best dressed. What has he been in besides the pre-mature campaign to push him as the next Bond. Barf. Pierce had a lotta good years left in 'em too! should have at least been 2 after John Legend at number 1.
Saw these stunning pix over on LJ a couple of days ago and fainted with joy then too ... so what a treat to see them again here on JAKEWATCH, my favourite place in the cyberworld!!
Viewing these pics before going to bed kind of makes you think about the dream you'll have..and I was SO excited! BUT. As usual,something has to go wrong and spoil Jake&Heath paradise,doesn't it!A f***** fly! Don't know where that came from,all I know is that she was buzzing around me the moment I was falling asleep!And just when those beautiful pics were showing in my mind, that fly was showing herself near my ears!!I ran,I tried to hunt her down,but she's soo little and my eyes were too soo little at 3 am that I had to give up. My wet dream was a failure because of a fly! I need gin right now. And a fly killer.
Forget for the moment that this blog is mainly about writing, creativity and community, and not really about Jake at all (acc to BPB's statement of intent ages ago).
Then consider the fact that as self-confessed Jake Watchers, we come here to drool over him, talk about him and claim him as our own (remember the Valley Girl fight on PG's watch last Sunday?)
So how come the sight of him photoshopped with Heath makes us collectively melt into puddles of delight? I've been a bit divided in my loyalties - I take my obsession with Jake/Heath over to the DC thread and LJ RPS ... never dreaming that here on JW there would be so many who seem to share it. I kinda thought that most of us here would prefer to see Jake with (say) one of us gals, not with (say) Heath, as he is pictured here.
And this question is NOT, repeat NOT about Jake's preferences, it about us Jake Watchers preferences, before anyone gets the wrong end of the stick ...
I know exactly why I like seeing Jake with Heath, even though by the force of my own natural impulses, I'm most fond of imagining Jake with women. Well, actually, with one particular woman [*Cough*cough* me]. Because seeing Jake & Heath united & laughing & in love gives me the happy, conventional ending "Brokeback Mountain" did not provide. I would not cheapen the emotional force of that masterpiece of a story by changing the ending in any way. But it's a tragedy. And on some level, I think everyone who loved the movie has to cope with that. And it's heartening to imagine that, in "real life," things turned out differently.
I suspect that also impels a lot of the fantasizing about Jake with other men. And maybe why some seized upon a male love interest for Jake in "real life" so eagerly. We all want things to turn out better for him than they did in the movie.
I think i kind of agree, niceanonymous. BBM really was heartbreaking. I know I've enjoyed some of the well written slash about Jack and Ennis because it sort of changes the outcome. My favorite, right now is Montana Crow's Journal. It's a masterpiece!
Anonymous 7:18, for me, the tragic ending of "Brokeback Mountain" was also, in part, what left me unhappy when the Academy Awards ceremony ended earlier this year. (Aside from the Academy's homophobia & cowardice.) On some level, I believed that, if only the movie won the most important awards, if only Jake & Heath were recognized for their fine work, then the tragedy depicted by the story wouldn't have been in vain. Like, damn it, those characters suffered so much, they deserved ... something ... like a Golden Guy statuette ... to make it up to them. That's not rational, but that's how I felt.
it was like a fantasy came true, some inner wounds healed, some thirst quenched, or some desires satisfied, when i first saw these two pics and thought they were real.
one of the reasons for my undescribable feelings (after my retrospective analysis) is that: I WAS SOOO GLAD THAT JAKE WAS SOOO WELL LOVED AND CHERISHED, as in the pics he's obviously the protected side. and in a way, i believe a man can show his vulneralbility (let's face it, they are vulnerable beings like women, if not more) better with a male lover, as a man is expected to play the strong and protective role in a heterosexual relationship and therefore can less express freely his weaknesses.
my joyous satisfaction came from deeps of my heart.. but then soon it's flattened.. sigh. cheated again by my wishful thinking.
but i PRAY that someday someone would love jake the way it should be, since i can't do it myself.. sigh.

Now that is talent. And I thought our chameleon with Peter's head pasted on it was good.... ;)
I'd love to know how she did it too, it's so flawless. Does anyone have the original pics?

I need gin right now. And a fly killer.
There is a whole thread dedicated to Heath/Jake manips over at IHJ. I didn't want to spend too long in there in case I lost all sense of reality.
And I'm 22, irony is my middle name and my ass is tight.
oh i wonder what jake would say if he saw this!!! omfg!!!
And I'm 22, irony is my middle name and my ass is tight.
As my teens are wont to say .. Waaaay too much information!!
Just kidding, I live and die by knowing the status of your ass, brits :-)
That thread makes you want to watch BBM over and over again,which bad for mental sanity!I love it!:)
By the way,I'm 19.
They are so real they freaked me out! Well... if only, if only. We do have right to fantasize, right?
joycedavenport
well said!
only a heart of gold gets to recognize its kind. jake's got that pretty pretty soul... that echos in all of us..
this caused me to rush home and watch Brokeback again. Oh my.
Also wondering if TeddybearEyes could do some photoshop magic and get me in that pic with Jake...okay, and Heath, too. ;-)
WHOA....
The tears came to my eyes first, then I just kept smiling. Thanks Britpop, I'm not sure what to say.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
OH.MY.FRICKIN.GOD!! I don't give a damn that they're photoshopped. They're the hottest pics I have Ever.Seen. EVER!!
I cannot stop looking at them...
*whimpers and faints*
(I'm 26, btw..)
I'm intellectually fascinated by something.
Forget for the moment that this blog is mainly about writing, creativity and community, and not really about Jake at all (acc to BPB's statement of intent ages ago).
Then consider the fact that as self-confessed Jake Watchers, we come here to drool over him, talk about him and claim him as our own (remember the Valley Girl fight on PG's watch last Sunday?)

Am I just being dense and out of touch?
Just very curious ...

Stupid Academy. The BAFTAs got it right.
I would like to see some photoshopped pics of Jaustin. Pleaze?
it was like a fantasy came true, some inner wounds healed, some thirst quenched, or some desires satisfied, when i first saw these two pics and thought they were real.
