Javier Bardem's haircut
Posted by Steerpike on 6 January 2010 - 9:28pm.
You know ... the one he sports in 'No Country For Old Men' ... well I'm getting the barnet done on Friday. I've been growing it 'cos I'm 48 and entitled to a mid-life crisis. I was thinking of going for a Javier.
Now I know that every single film critic has commented on the tonsorial elegance of Javier's character ... and not in a good way ... but let's put it to the massive ... Is a Javier haircut cool - in a post ironic way ... or simply too ridiculous for words?

*cough*
ok, ok
but this hasn't put me off - he still looks cool. (Javier's on the right ... right?)
are you...
A) Javier Bardem or B) a cute puppy in a wig
if the answer to either of these is yes, then I'd say go for it. Actually, I'd just say go for it anyway, you can always get it cut again.
Javier at work
but a cute puppy at home.
I'm ashamed of myself but ...
I still haven't seen "No Country for Old Men" - simply because of *that* haircut.
Having said that, my own hair's now pretty much the same as it used to be back in the 70's (though it's taken the occasional permed/coloured/spiked diversion during the last 40 years) so I'm definitely not someone to dish out tonsorial advice.
- but a "Javier" is still wrong, so wrong.
Well then -
- you clearly MUST see it ... and when you do, you will be a changed person, forever smitten by Javier and his haircut. It's a seriously good film ... and ... well ... you know you want to really .... don't you.
I will, I promise
My little sis also told me it was brilliant, and I trust her judgement on all things entertainment-related.
Maybe then I'll want a Javier-top myself (looks in mirror, realises that a quick change of parting would get me there already, aaargh)
High Maintenance ?
I bow to the wisdom of those of the Massive who have tried long long hair, but my guess is that you will need to use some tongs (or something) to get it to sit right. Every day.
I certainly wouldn't have the patience to do it, but if you do follow it through, hats in the off position!!
ah yes
Now where did I put those tongs? I think I last had them when we had that BBQ in the Summer.
Low maintenance
Peter Gabriel's Hairdressing Academy
gets off to a flying start, as The Monks call by for a makeover.
No.
I'm so tempted to say "Stupid boy, (Steer)Pike", but that would be rude, wouldn't it?
I wouldn't do it, but it's not my hair.
Hey, c'mon
As we all know, the difference between a good and a bad haircut is two weeks - what's to worry about?
That's true
Plus, the style is so long that if you hated it I'm sure your barber could sort it out pretty quickly.
Each to his own
firstly hope you don't work with teenagers they can be cruel in the these things.
Also in all the pictures on the web where he's wrestling with Penelope Cruz (who in turn is wrestling with tiny bikini) she's not running her long fingers through Joey Ramone's reject syrup! http://images.google.co.uk/images?sourceid=navclient&hl=en-GB&rlz=1T4DKU...
lastly Clint Boon.
Yes, but ...
one has to question, what turned the lovely Penelope on to big Jav in the first place?
not sure it
was because he had hair like Mick Dolenz sociopathic cousin.. but there seems no stopping you.
Round our way, we worship Javier
Go for the Jav, Steerpike.
If you pull someone who looks like Penny Cruz, let us know. If, however, people start avoiding you in the street and telling their children not to go near the strange man, you might want to reconsider. Unless they do that already, in which case...
in which case
... leave the gas cylinder at home?
That was the punchline I was trying to find.
Thank you, Steerpike. I can sleep happy.
In which case...
can you come and sort out my locks please?
Go for it
Consider yourself lucky at 48 to have a choice to make.
I did think considering
the age and gender of a significant number of the Massive this whole post was a tad gloating ;)
Isn't Javier Bardem's Haircut the name of a band?
No?
Yes
It is considered the Everest of haircuts.
Relax everyone
The hairdresser refused to undertake the Jav.
I now sport a Dylan Moran.
