I watched the first half of Noah's Ark last night. It was great to see a film with so many longhairs in it, but they were portraying most of them as really gross. Then they had God destroying all the longhairs, mostly by setting fire to their clothing. Yuck. At least they weren't burning their hair. Tonight they're probably going to drown lots of longhairs.... This cheery event will be flooding the coasts tonight on NBC at nine. In living color.
Noah is a nice clean longhair, though, and he's a delight to watch. His three sons have yuppie haircuts, though, the only ones on the whole antediluvian planet. Wonder how they'd do that without scissors? No doubt it's because they want to convey the message that his sons are clean and virtuous. Makes you wanna puke.
What wrong with having short hair convey the message that people are clean and virtuous? After all, that's the truth!

Not necessarily, James. Many apparently virtuous short-hairs are
sneaky enough to do their sinning behind the scenes. They just
haven't been caught yet.

This brings to midn the popular notion in Malaysia (and perhaps anywhere else in the world, that longhairs are drug addicts, gangsters and so on.
However, pictures of drug (mainly heroin) addicts in back lanes and those whom I have had the misfortune to meet, all and mean ALL have short hair and they are also "respectively" dressed in (often unwashed) office clothes.

WHOSE truth? Names and addresses. Also, define TRUTH.
The story of Noah's Ark is about the price paid by people who were convinced of their own virtue.
Well, I don't know really what to think of longhaired portrayals in this movie; in the beginning, Lot was a decent guy and had long hair; then, he went insane, acted evil, and was shown with a shaved head. And I guess one of Noah's sons had long-ish hair, so as far as the whole good/bad image thing, who knows. Incidentally, the thing that bothered me the most about this mini-series was the fact all these "middle eastern" people spoke with thick English (sometimes Cockney) accents. Why not Middle Eastern?
