Jake Gyllenhaal talks about "Southpaw", loves Miguel Cotto.

boxing themed movie circle jerk will ensue for the next couple of years.

boring overdone story lines ain't my thing...

 

Wow, Jake really is just as deep as the characters he plays. You could tell there is so much more he could say and it would all have it's reasons and meanings. And, he's a true boxing fan...well now he is but, better late than never!!

 

So we have an actor that co-starred in a gay movie ....what was it buttbroke mountain? or something. and we are listening to him now. sure...makes sense.

 

What's even more sensible is that we, or rather you, are dismissing him based upon a previous role he played.

That's a generous slice of logic frosted cake you've just handed us.

 

Thats probaly why he likes cotto. He can relate to him

 

So he likes a fighter known for bending the knee and quiting. Good for him i guess...

 

Movie looks trashy and stupid.... As many have said the trailer reveals the entire plot, ****ing stupid.

 

What's with American tv and movie industry obsessed with cheesey emotional stuff in everything they even have to crowbar emotional back story in to boxing.

An actor who likes the boxer that likes wearing pink, ooohh lovey darling be a super darling and pass the vaseline.

Brokeback mountain II at Big Bear.

 

the intention is, why should we give attention to this actor with no prior boxing experience. acting in a movie about boxing is not boxing. and of course, i put an aside about his stupid buttbroke movie. if that is not good enough for you, screw off.

 

also look at your previous statement....it is either a mis type or it is non logical.

 

You shouldn't give him any attention if you don't want to. You however made it clear that "we" shouldn't give him attention because of a previous character that he played.

If someone finds the story of how he transformed himself into the character of a boxer interesting then what's wrong with finding interest in that? should it matter that he once played a gay guy?

Or that he doesn't have any experience as a boxer?


The latter would be like a consumer of diamonds saying phuck the Movie Blood Diamond because Dicaprio was never a real diamond smuggler.

 

trying to cut through all that. Jake does not ksab. therefore, ok put a lot of emphasis on his opinion if you choose. i do not.

 

He trained in boxing for 5 months, so he probably knows more than most of us.

 

well 5 months is not a very long time. maybe you are just being facetious. not being a smart ass i just couldn't tell. again, 5 months is nothing.
