Woody Rather?

before there was Jeff Daniels as Tom Baxter / Gil Shepherd in Woody’s brilliant but sad Purple Rose of Cairo

there was Michael Keaton as Tom Baxter / Gil Shepherd!!!!

The dual role of Tom Baxter/Gil Shepherd was originally cast with Michael Keaton, whose work Allen admired and who took a significant cut in salary for the privilege of working with Allen. But Allen eventually felt that, despite a strong performance, Keaton was too contemporary and hard to accept as a character living in the 1930s. After 10 days on the set, Keaton and Allen amicably parted company and Daniels was cast in the dual part of Shepherd /Baxter [text via TCM | Keaton pic via]

not exactly Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly, but still!!!

What About Bobbed?

Vidal Sassoon: The Movie
Hairing Is Caring
Official Website | Trailers & Mo

Dude, Doogtooth!! you’d think a documentary about a straight Jewish Englishman who cuts chicks’ hair wouldn’t be worth watching, and in most cases you’d probably be right, but we’ve only seen one documentary about a straight Jewish Englishman who cuts chicks’ hair, and if this thighly entertaining lil lap round his revolutionary saloon and haircare product line is any indication, maybe there’s a giant future in documentaries about straight Jewish Englishmen who cut chicks’ hair!!!  Plus any movie that talks about the bob’s comeback is a friend of What About Bobbed‘s, and a friend of What About Bobbed’s is a friend of ours, and is of Garfy‘s and all the hot chicks from other countries that aren’t America!!! Remember, if you don’t look good, he doesn’t look good, and then his bank statement doesn’t look good

Sassooner or Later: look, you may still think this doc or he is a joke, but the pixie cut he gave Mia Farrow for Rosemary’s Baby was and is no joke!!!

Verdictgo: Jeepers Mos Def Worth A Peepers

Vidal is currently a cut above all the other hair designer docs in NY & LA only, and Chicago soon, and elsewhere elsewhen???

and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
