[an amused spectator]

Gyllenhaal is in Dutch now...

What a dweeb! (albeit a wealthy dweeb, for selling himself to Whorellywood)

[359Henrie]

That and bruising your mommas tonsils, jake.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Brokeback puke couldn't tie our Marines' shoes.

[xcamel]

I hope he never comes across a real jarhead in his near future.

[finnman69]

Mr. Brokeback Mountain.

[socal_parrot]

Jake should stick to gigs where he can swap spit with other sheepherders.

[kimosabe31]

I never heard of the a$$hole but I guess it's a reflection of what he'd be doing in their place.

[School of Rational Thought]

There is the perception out there that there was nothing but an air war.

A vet was complaining to me last week just about that.

[Clintonfatigued]

He comes from a left wing family (his mother was the screenwriter of "Running On Empty"), so you can't really blame him for his outlook.

But that remark was really tasteless. Hopefully, he'll have the good sense to apologize.

>>"The US soldiers were sent to the desert for 122 days and they sat in the same tent and did nothing, except a little too much masturbating."<<

I wonder if there is any chance he was talking about the boredom of waiting for the war to start... I know I was impatient for it to start and I wasn't in a tent in the desert....

But maybe he really is stupid enough to mean this is a bad way when he could use pro-military people to see his new movie.

[ConorMacNessa]

Iraq War vets are not the only vets he's offending. I'd like to see him hace off with a real Marine myself.

On another note, I will not see that movie "Brokeback Mountain" because I regard the practices that it condones as abominations.

[wrathof59]

Hollywood dropped their original facade of "We suppoert the troops but not the war".

Their true colors are showing, they really loathe America and all she stands for.

[BallyBill]

Cheeky? Is that a gay thing?

[marron]

He's an expert on war because he was in a movie about one.

Albeit, one of the stupidest movies ever made.

Since then, I understand he's also become an expert on agriculture.

[Millicent_Hornswaggle]

My husband was a Marine grunt on the frontlines during the Gulf War. He was with 3/7, Lima Co., Weapons Plt. They saw a lot of action. They went in and cleared some mine fields before taking Al Jabar airport. He had nightmares for years because of it. He absolutely refused to see the "Jarhead" movie. He read part of the book and got so mad, I thought he was going to have a stroke. He said the guy that wrote it is full of crap. Most of the book is garbage and didn't happen.

Jake Gyllenhaal isn't man enough to walk in a real Marines shoes. And from his vantage point, has absolutely no idea what went on. His OPINION isn't worth the air it was spoken with.

[Fitzcarraldo]

His film "jarhead" was an insult to every American Soldier, Sailor and Marine. This guy is a walking latrine.

[bboop]

Classy guy. Shut up and .. shut up.

[L.N. Smithee]

The entire Gyllenhaal family is overrated. I made the mistake of wasting two hours on Donnie Darko, curious after reading time and time again that it was a masterpiece that was overlooked because it involves a plane crash and was released after 9/11. It was not "overlooked" -- it was ignored because it's an incomprehensible mess disguised as artsy-fartsy intellectualism.

By the way, as an actor, he sucks. He's not Hayden Christiansen bad, but he's Tobey Maguire bad.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I knew I held off watching Jarhead for a reason. I didn't see it in the theaters and I have not ordered it on pay per view. I would rather sit and listen to real veterans talk about their experiences than watch some candy-assed actor try to portray them in movies where they cannot possibly do justice to the sacrifice that our veterans have given.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

His sister is liberal "artisan" garbage as well.

The guy has worked not terribly hard for under a decade and made enough money to kick back forever in relatively comfortable style. Given his good fortune, he should not miss an opportunity to keep his mouth closed.
