It’s an agonizingly slow news afternoon, so here’s a little clip of Jerry Bruckheimer talking about his upcoming movie, Prince of Persia, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and half a tube of mascara There’s even some footage here of Jake shirtless and glistening, which might help the ladies forget that Jerry Bruckheimer is speaking. For a guy behind some of the loudest action movies of the last 20 years, Bruckheimer sure is … zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I loathe Jerry Bruckheimer, but my love for Prince of Persia and Jake Gyllenghal (oh god that photo made me happy in the pants) will probably drive me to watch this movie. As long as he never puts a shirt on, I think I'll be happy with the mindfuck this movie will be.

I hate when they know the best ways to get my money. Fuckers.

Errr, no I think I'll pass. Jerry has RUINED TV for me, the bf consistently watches CSI so I can't even fathom watching Jerry talk without wanting to shoot him between the eyes.

I dunno if I could watch this. I really don't know. Gynllenhall never called to me so shirtless or not I have no incentive. Sad really, 'cause I love the game, but since JakeG still hasn't made me think "I'm a tough and sexy prince who'll kill you right after I finish taking care of these sand monsters," I'm leaving this one out.

I hope i don't have to take back those words. I like being right.

Yeah… I'll be there.

Didn't say I was proud of it, but I like the Gyllenhaal and at least this looks more stupidly fun than Jarhead, which tried to serve me a lesson with my beefcake.

Well, at least there aren't any mechanical robots in it.

They subjected us to TWO previews replete with mechanical "actors" before Star Trek -- not that the "real" actors were any goddamned better, mind you -- Transformers and GI Joe.

"Angels and ministers of grace, defend us."

I was so deflated after that, I found myself happy -- motherfucking THRILLED -- to watch the preview for the sequel to that fucking Ben Stiller museum movie. DRIPPING with antici....PA...tion... to SEE the fucking thing.

Diminished expectations. That's the game, people. Christ on a shredded popsicle stick.

Prince of Darko? I'm sorry Jake, Sweetie, but I can't. I'll put you in my Netflix queue.

But that's just it! Gyllenhaal shouldn't be doing the beefcake look! Just like Johansson shouldn't be doing the femme fatale style. I think of them both being really sexy when they were younger, in a sort of uncomfortable-in-their-body sort of way; a little bit goofy, a little bit gawky and shy and moody and interesting. I give you The Good Girl and Donnie Darko; Ghost World and Lost In Translation. Neither of them should have tipped into full-blown knowingness.

I'm excited about Jakey being shirtless. But I wanna see what kind of pants they have on him.

Are they...puffy harem pants? And do they show his lil' belly button?

Excuse me, I gotta go rub...some lamps. Yes. Lamps, in the hope that Genie Pants Jake will appear.

I'm gonna be this asshole. Cough(whitewashing)cough. Don't care enough about the movie or the actor to go further, but I'll bring my A-game once Avatar:The Last Whitebender comes out.

Caspar, I see where you're coming from. I like him because well, he's just ridiculously cute and sweet looking, and seeing him all beefed out seems kind of...weird and he looks sort of awkward sometimes. But then the muscles distract me and I go to a happy place again.

If this is a success...or, fuck it, even if it isnt, i'm proposing a sequel or possibly prequel(the Prince's time changing abilities throw this into contention) wherein Jake goesup against Leonidas while covered entirely in baby oil.
Jake could even bring Leonidas and the rest of them back from....SPOILER that shit that happens at the end of 300 and make it one massive, hot, toned, rock hard ab'dsausage fest.

Who's in?

So let me get this straight: it's based on a motherfucking computer game (can someone please point out the last enjoyable film that sprung from the same origins? No?) and it's produced by Bruckheimer. Is anyone expecting this to be worth watching?

he is so tall and sexy. I know a place you can date with such tough guys.

I'm with you, Nadine...I'll even bring the nachos! Mmmmm...baby oil and abs of steel...

Listening to Bruckheimer speak, it can be discerned he has a checklist in his head and he's ticking off all the "right bases" to pitch this.

I see two men conversing but at the same time metastasizing into these blobs of corporate representation.

I feel like Roddy Piper in "They Live".

Babara just introduced me to Linda Shake's mom. Not surprisingly, she is a tall man.
I'm so bored.

In that picture Jake Gyllenhal looks like Kevin Sorbo's way younger, less tanned cousin--Kevin Sorbet.

And yes, he's nice and lemon flavored.

Y'know, when I first heard about the casting of Jake Gyllen-whatsit in this movie, I was a little leery... okay, I thought, 'that's not The Prince.' Cute as he is.

Now I've kinda changed my mind. Yum.
