What's going on with his eye here? Looks wonky. Or like he has a twitch.

Probably after the Pee Incident.
Still reeling from having to man-handle another man (that's not Heath Ledger).

Probably after the Pee Incident. Still reeling from having to man-handle another man (that's not Heath Ledger). & omigod, KD, I about spewed water on my monitor! Sorry it took me so long to comment on here, it has been another horrendous few days with work.
I have seen SO many alerts for SC & tons of videos, interviews, reviews, etc, I am almost tired of it already. However, that's a crock, because I truly can't wait to see this movie & I saw today that Rotten Tomatoes already shows 79%, (although not all results are in yet, of course, but still), & Richard Roeper gave it an A. WTF? I was shocked. So, here goes, my next post will be some links to some more SC stuff in case you guys haven't seen them & still want to.
Below is the review from RR, & he has a spoiler warning, so I won't watch it.

OK, stalkers, more video interviews & such from SC. First up, io9 has a 7minute + video here:
with a written article & interview here, (which is really cool & interesting): Jake Gyllenhaal explains how G-force training influenced the science in Source Code Meredith Woerner — We sat down with Source Code star Jake Gyllenhaal, and quizzed him about the science behind the movie. Does he believe that memories could be stored on computers? What's based on actual science in this film? Watch our interview.
Do you think that one day we will be able to access memories on a hard drive?
Gyllenhaal: When I read the script, that's why I loved the movie. It was because essentially the center of the movie is about this computer program that allows you to enter someone's body for the last 8 minutes of their life. I think maybe it's a long time coming, but with so many other possibilities, I wouldn't necessarily rule it out, the ability to access memory. Or not even memory really but experience.
Did you study the science behind the film?
Gyllenhaal: Particularly my job is more about, what would be the emotional effects of something like this? What would it be like if I found myself there. If I had a background in the army and in flying helicopters. If I was put in this situation, how would I respond? To me it was the human behavior aspect of it that I was fascinated with.
Duncan sent me lots of different videos. And one of them was pilots in pilot training school, when they do G-force training. And their responses to the first time they go into G-force, because they have a simulator that they go into. It's actually relatively funny, because a lot of them lose consciousness, and then come to and don't know what happened. That's what I was into. This is a similar experience. When he wakes up at first (and I don't know if this is in the final version of the movie) but we did say, the first time, "Did I A-lock?" which is a common response when you lose consciousness when you go into G-force. He comes to and he's like "whoa am I just tripping out am I hallucinating did my helicopter go down?" Nope, you're on a train sitting next to a woman saying she knows you and you have no idea who she is. And you're in somebody else's body.
Next up is a cool Q&A from Popular Mechanics of all things with Duncan, Jake, & the writer, Ben Ripley, check it out: Jake Gyllenhaal, Duncan Jones Talk Source Code at SXSW 2011
This video is from E-News with Ben Lyons:
There is a 3 part video interview with Jake & Duncan at SXSW with Thompson On Hollywood:
Here is a rather long video interview from IFC News with Matt Singer at SXSW over the weekend with Duncan & Vera, (I haven't watched it all yet, but I don't think Jake is even in it).
& finally for tonight, the first 4 & a half minutes of the movie, (spoiler alert here):

Well, dammit, I forgot to post a link in the above post to E! Online which has a lot of stuff on it with Ben Lyons again as well, interviewing Jake about things other than SC:Even Jake Gyllenhaal Is Confused by the Source CodeBeing a good actor requires that an individual be able to express a gamut of emotions with just a look. Sadness, anger, surprise—it takes a mastery of expression for these emotions to be conveyed in a glance.
In today's lesson, we're taking a look at the first five minutes of Source Code, where star and internationally recognized good actor and Hollywood sex symbol Jake Gyllenhaal shows us how to communicate "confusion" using only one's brow, jaw and eyes.
Check it out...
First a refresher. Jake plays Captain Colter Stevens, and with the help of a military supercomputer called the Source Code, he's able to go back in time and inhabit another person's body for the last eight minutes of life. Naturally, this is all in the name of national security as Stevens is sent to investigate a bombing on a Chicago commuter train in order to gather clues to stop a future attack.
Confused yet? It's OK, because as we can see in this new clip, so is Jake! He wakes up on the train and clearly has no idea what's going on. It even seems like his ability to process the English language has been hijacked.
At first it may seem a little over-the-top, but quickly, thanks to those acting skills Jake is known for, we start to feel his confusion, his anxiety. All of a sudden we find ourselves right there with him, right on the cusp of yelling, "What's going on!?" Even costar Michelle Monaghan is feeling it. And the man gets us there in fewer than five lines of dialog. Impressive.
Check out the clip above and tell us what you think. Does this clip have you using only the edge of your seat? Source Code hits theaters April 1.
WATCH NOW! Would Jake ever be up for hosting the Oscars? He tells Ben Lyons!& Jake talks to him about his love of bike riding:
& finally he tells him about his favorite new bands & gets some wild looking donuts served to him as well:

Jesus, Jake is looking real good lately with that haircut and perfect ratio of facial hair.
And I came to say I give Richard Roeper's review an A as well.
I already knew this movie would be good, so I'm not surprised.
Not getting too hopeful though for a strong turnout. Enthusiasm for this movie is pretty limited 'round my parts.

I know, KD, it's hard to say if this movie will be a huge hit even if it is excellent, just because of the genre. I am hoping it does really well at the box office, not just because of Jake, but also because of Duncan, he is an excellent director & this is only his 2nd movie to direct. So, it could really make a difference in his career. I will be seeing it on April 1st for the first showing here in Houston at the closest theater to me. I will let you guys know what I think of it after that. I just really hope it's as good as it looks from the trailers.

Well, so far, the talk show schedule for Jake for promoting SC is this: March 23rd - Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC at 11:05 pm Central Time March 28th - Conan on TBS at 10 pm Central Time March 31st - Live With Regis & Kelly on ABC at 9 am Central Time
I have also seen it reported that there will be a Hollywood premiere for SC on March 28th, but no news for the venue as of yet. I could not find it scheduled at Grauman's Chinese website. This may be incorrect info, but I will keep checking on it & post it here if it's accurate.

^^^^ Hey KD, not sure what city you live in, but it's supposed to open everywhere in the US on Friday, April 1st.
Here are a couple of videos I found today, they did the press junket interviews in LA this weekend, so we should be getting a lot more this coming week. This first one is from Jake the Movie Guy:
Someone posted their own video of the Q&A at the Paramount Theater where it premiered last Friday, they have a spoiler warning up, BTW:
