i think that the potential for jake/maggie to be better than john/joan is there. although i don't think jake has made anywhere near enough good movies to shoot par. i do, however, think that maggie's character in secretary is good enough to top joan and slap her like a bitch, much like maggie's character in that movie asked to be spanked, but joan would be slapped without the erotic undertones or the sexual discovery. but again, i would like to turn attention to the spanking parts of secretary and the kind-of-david-lynch(ish)-but-not-so-fucking-freaky-all-the-time-due-to-an-absence-of-midgets-or-other-people-with-physical-deformities atmosphere that the movie has. as it stands, as long as jake never does a piece of shit like john cusack's america's sweethearts with that talent-less julia roberts then jakey'll be all right. again, though, the spanking.
When I came up with this idea, I was thinking because Jake and Maggie always seem to be in movies together (Donnie Darko, Home Grown and I'm sure there is more that I'm not thinking) ala John and Joan. I love Jake but I'm not sure anyone can compare to John. But also, Maggie seems to linger in the shadows of her brother just like Joan. It seems neither has/have gotten the acknowledgement like each respective brother.
