It took two different attempts for "The Amazing Race" to get a woman to shave her head, but all it took for Natalie Portman was a good role. The 23-year-old actress rid herself of her lovely brown locks for the part of Evey Hammond in the upcoming V for Vendetta. The film is the first for the Wachowski Brothers since the Matrixtrilogy ended in 2003. It is based on a graphic novel in which Portman plays a suspected terrorist in a totalitarian state. Natalie found having her head shaved on camera "really exciting," but now she's preparing for the aftermath of the experience. "Some people will think I'm a neo-Nazi or that I have cancer or I'm a lesbian," she told Time Magazine. But Nat doesn't care; she's too busy petting her scalp. "I can't stop rubbing my head. It's so soft, I might keep it for a while," she said. (By Kate Lanahan)
wow- that was the one of the questions on an internet quiz I took recently. I answered that I would NOT shave my head for the one I love. But reading that and just thinking about it... I would really think about it deeper again-kinda like starting over in life.
Now Lucas says he is determined to leverage that security to make the kinds of movies that no one expects from him. He claims to have a stack of ideas piling up on his desk for "highly abstract, esoteric" films even more daring than his 1971 debut, THX 1138. An expansion of one of Lucas' student projects at the University of Southern California, THX anticipated the cyberpunk aesthetic of William Gibson's Neuromancer and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, depicting a pharmaceutically numbed society of the future under constant video surveillance. After Lucas spent a year digitally restoring the film for its theatrical rerelease and DVD debut in 2004, a longtime employee observed: "I've never seen George so excited by any other project at the company." Lucas says the restored THX was just a preview of even edgier films to come that he will finance and direct himself.
That's better than the one THX posted yesterday. She had a weird smile in that one. She isn't quite as pretty as a bald Sinead but add a little stubble and waalaa!
I'd like to see Charlize Theron bald to see if she could pull it off. Melissa Ethridge pulls it off nice.
I remember this from a long time ago. These guys have a list of payphones. There are 163 listed for Minnesota but you can see them in all states.  This will give you something to do for a little while:)
It is fun calling the airports to see who answers. Not sure how many people will be able to tell you they saw THX 1138, the odds were better for the line of the star wars movie:)
Sort of related: Years ago I knew some code you could punch in to the payphone to make it ring. I used to do it to all the payphones at my high school.
A peek show??

woooohooooooo!!!!

Runs up and spray paints graffiti on the side of the shed and runs away:

She's gotta be one of the hottest babes on the silver screen IMHO
I did not like her in her first Star Wars role. I like her better now.
Since THX has a thing for bald chicks....
No I don't!

How many licks does it take to get to the center of ahumanlollipop?
Don't ask THX since he always bites on 3 anyway.
;-)
why is it with your current avatar...I don't doubt you knew that...
bald guy
bald AND cute!
I don't think you shoulda told everyone that he bites on 3.
Somethings should be kept between the two of you.
Oh, I'm sure that I'm not alone in this. That's kinda what bugs me too. It should be just between us. Ungrateful bastard!

Well, not literally but you get the picture.
So all those people in California shoulda been camped outside THXs shed to see Natalie Portman!
Is there a payphone near the shed, too so Kitch can call them?

No, but the telephone pole is real close by. Maybe we can set something up.
Kind of like Green Acres.

I totally forgot about that.
I think it would be funny for us to start collecting pictures of phones around town and then mark down the numbers here for us to do random checks at.
I'll have to try it out next time I see a payphone.
Not many of them around anymore.
[Edited by on May 24, 2005 at 03:08pm.]
They don't have their number on them anymore either. Otherwise, good idea! ;)
I do know that payphones show up on caller ID.
yep...thats a fact...
once you get the number you can call them back...
I know...I call payphones all the time...

I remember this from a long time ago. These guys have a list of payphones. There are 163 listed for Minnesota but you can see them in all states.  This will give you something to do for a little while:)

Here is a different one just in case.

WOW! - Don't people in St. Cloud own their own phones?
Cooler links PM
It is fun calling the airports to see who answers. Not sure how many people will be able to tell you they saw THX 1138, the odds were better for the line of the star wars movie:)

Nice, that would get irritating. All the payphones at my school were always broken.....
