Some Jake

.

The above picture of the men of Brothers is from the New York Times annual Great Performances portfolio, see the rest here. They've also got a video with some actors talking about what they consider the best performances of the previous decade and I find myself with a new-found appreciation for Woody Harrelson since his answer was Ulrich Muhe in The Lives of Others (he can be forgiven not remembering the man's name).

Anyway Jake gives a totally silly answer
but he's cute doing it so he's forgiven. See?


And then comes this news, via Stereogum:

Vampire Weekend Cast Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, RZA, and Lil Jon In Next Video

Think Ghostface turned RZA on to Vampire Weekend? Probably. According to Anthem Magazine (via P4K), who talked to co-director Emmett Malloy (younger brother Brendan also directs), Ezra Koening came up with the "Giving Up The Gun" video's tennis match concept on his own. RZA plays ref, Lil Jon is a tennis coach, and Gyllenhaal and Jonas are competitors.

Alright I'm not gonna lie - the idea of Jake and Joe Jonas in short tennis shorts duking it out has got me a bit hot and bothered. I'm only human.

Human... and incredibly, phenomenally easy.
