"Big Head...Big Head...Big Head...Whoa, Big Head"

Recognize the quote??? It doesn't make sense until the end of this blog entry.......



I just finished watching the movie Smart People.

I thought it was amusing, and I quite enjoyed it. Don't take that as an endorsement (necessarily), because I tend to like very strange indie dramedies that most people think are odd. I.E. Be Kind, Rewind.

Anyway, not going to discuss the movie, but I do want to say a little tidbit about one of the actresses....Ellen Page. You might know her better as "Juno".

I read an article about her not too long ago, and one of the things the writer commented on is her affection for red hooded zipup sweatshirts. He was saying that she must really love them because she has worn on in every movie she has ever made, and the author had seen her in public many times in the red item.

I don't know why I even remembered that trivia, but I was thinking about it during Smart People. And I make the realization when the movie was over that there was a lack of red hooded zipup sweatshirts on Ms. Page. So, I thought, the writer was wrong....not in every movie.

Well, being the over analyser I am, I , of course, needed to watch all the bonus material. Low and behold, in one of the featurettes on the making of the movie, there is a shot of the director working with the star, and Ellen Page is shown in a costume from the movie. And over said costume, complete with hood on head, she is wearing a red hooded zipup sweatshirt.

Go Ellen.

Plus, had anyone ever noticed that her noggin is huge? She must have the strongest neck ever. She had this very tiny skinny frame, and his enormous head. I guess we didn't really notice it in Juno because she was prego for most of the movie, and that must have balanced it out. I have heard that there are a lot of actors with over sized heads, because a large melon films very well. I guess I would believe that.

I've been told that Kelly Ripa is big. Also (and I know this one from personal experience) Celine Dion had the most ginormous head ever. I saw here walking through a hotel lobby once, and for a second I thought she was wearing some kind of mask thing. Seriously.

One more....Jay Leno - looks like a bobble doll of himself. I was the green room contact for him during an event once, and we sat and chatted for awhile. I just stared at the huge rock of a face and head on that man during the whole convo. He must have thought I was an idiot!
