Pink Elephant in the Room? What Pink Elephant(s) in the Room?




When pink elephants in the room are everywhere you turn with one paragraph quote.  Jake Gyllenhaal's gift basket for 2019.


On spoiler culture: “There’s a big speech I give in the movie and as I give this speech, crew members were asking for ear plugs because they didn’t want to know what was happening. So there’s a kind of devotion to the MCU and to the world of Marvel that’s kind of unprecedented. When my friends tell me things about their lives or they ask for my secrecy, I consider it to be one of the highest honours you could ever have. As long as it’s not hurting someone, to hold somebody’s secrecy or privacy is a beautiful thing. I like the idea that, at least for now, I know things that other people would be so deeply entertained by – and more entertained when they don’t. So I love it. And I love playing with people who want to know.”  -  Jake G. in GQ UK edition
 
Whoaaaa, what's Jake really talking about here?   Somehow, Narnia thinks he veered off of that "spoiler culture" road real quick and took the other fork in the road aka real life.

We aren't going to elaborate in the post on this one (although I couldn't restrain from some highlighting and bold'ing).  We want you, the reader, to read what he said slowly and digest it.  

This is all kinds of volatile.  Baked potatoes don't come any more loaded than this.  A bombshell that's going to be missed by many.  Some of it may be entrancing.  Mysterious.  It can also be very annoying in parts, depending on how you look at it.  It's also possible...it could also be cautiously optimistic.

Notice this was from an interview with the UK edition of GQ.

Good night and enjoy your Thursday.  :-)

Wow! What a quote, huh? He started off talking about movie spoilers, but all of that was not about movie spoilers.

That article published June 27, 2019 in the UK edition of GQ. Not America's. I think that's significant. It also wasn't one of his usual "robot'ing" interviews.

That quote is worthy of a roundabout. It's too bad we can't do that here. Again, very brazen and provocative of Jake.

And I used the word "bombshell" as a kind of nostalgic nod to the ol' OMG troll, who went southward somewhere along the way. If he's still around, he'll get it. ;-)

We will be “adjusting” our previous post. It would appear that Mgmnt has put their bratty foot down and changed Austin’s post. That Instagram was embedded and that’s why it shows the change. But we’ve got the original so......we’ll be “adjusting “ their tyrannical footstomping nonsense.
