Jake Gyllenhaal ... who's REALLY buff now?!
Hands up (honestly, guys!) how many people reading this have played Prince of Persia?
Fair enough. Now, hands up (ditto) how many of you pictured Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role of Prince Dastan?! I'm not saying he won't be good. He probably will. But I'll be honest here: he's just about the last all-American lad I'd have pictured in the part!
That said ... the boy's working hard for the role, so what the hey? Give him a chance before you decide that at least twenty other actors would have been better cast as Prince D. -- if for no other reason than that they uh, look like they might be of Arabic descent. (Nice shorts, kid. You might want to think about giving your trackies a yank before they escape.)
Anyway: the movie is still over a year in the future, so there's plenty of time to be forewaned. But right now I still can't get past imaging Oded Fehr (from the first two Mummy movies) in the part of Dastan. Okay, Jake: show me your best stuff, dude -- impress he heck out of me now!

Christian Bale: rude, yes, but -- right or wrong?
Further to the "Bale Out" stories yesterday ... got a good one for you here. Christain Bale must be wondering where it's all going to end!
Now, Steve Martin's gotten hold of it, and -- well, see this for yourself! You're not going to hear the F word at all, but good golly, the guy doing the beep noises must've drawn overtime pay on this one:
Very kewl, that!
Turns out, CB said the F word 35 times in his four minute audio romp. Yep -- somebody with way too much time on ehis hands actually sat down and counted them. CB himself doesn't see to have made a response (yet), but this is interesting: Web goes psycho over Christian Bale going psycho ... it's interesting because not only does it show how everyone in earshot or web-shot has been chewing large chunks out of CB, but there's also at least one pro voice in Hollywood racing to his defence:
"I know the guy who pissed him off"
Butch Kaplan has worked as a Hollywood producer for over twenty years. His most recent films are "Babylon A.D.", "The Assassination of Richard Nixon" and "The Patriot".
This was nothing that we haven't seen before, and in this case, the actor was completely right, and I'm not surprised to hear what happened. He's what we call in the industry a 'tweeker'. It's people who are very insecure about what they're doing that they constantly need to 'tweek' things.
A lot of actors have a hard time getting into the place of the character. You're trying to make it real, you're having a really deep moment, and then there's this guy, tweeking the lights. It's as if he's saying 'what I'm doing is more important than what you're doing - it's all about the lighting'. What Bale said was rude, but what Hurlbut did was so disrespectful. And the funny thing about this, is that Bale was more right than 95% of actors who pull this stuff. Not only actors, but producers, directors. Sometimes they even get into punch-ups, and most of the time they at least storm off set and refuse to come out of their trailer. The people who act up the most actually have the most power; a little tantrum earns you respect here.
However in this case it wasn't a power trip, it was a true explosion of frustration. A case of 'I'm trying to do my job and you're totally screwing me over'."
So there you go -- the jury will now retire to deliberate the evidence!

Undies can be chic. Well, can't they? Ask Armani!
Undies. They lie there in the drawer, limp and kind of forlorn. Then you put them on, look in the mirror and think, "Gee, I should've bought a bigger size." And if you're really vulnerable you think, "Gee, I ought to eat right and exercise."
Unless your name is David Beckham, of course. Then you thing, "Gee, I wonder if Armani would pay me to wear their undies and strut my stuff in front of the camera, so that they can put the pictures on forty-foot-tall posters on the side of sky scrapers...?"
And the answer to this canny question is, "Gee, I guess Armani would! And did." Like so:
Woah. I'll just bet there were some traffic jams and fender benders on that block! The city traffic police were probably the ones responsible for the graffiti that wrecked the whole thing the next day, so they had to take it down ... just kidding, guys. I think.

Wolverine's Day Off ... or, Logan at the beach
All work and no play makes even the Wolverine a dull boy. So every now and then ... and especially when the sun's shining and the weather's fine ... Logan takes the day off and pops down to the beach, there masquerading as an ordinary human being who enjoys a dip and doesn't have retractable claws. Don't believe me? Check this out:
There you are -- you probably believe me now! While we're here -- have you see the Wolverine trailer yet? No? Then stick around:
This is a movie I am definitely going to see in the theaters. Is it just my imagination, or has Hugh Jackman put on a lot more muscles for this prequel? Looking forward to this -- it opens in Australia in about five months, along with the new Star Trek movie and a swag of others.
