> [@Exapno Mapcase](#): > > Does anyone else agree that last night’s good-bye episode was lame and that the new kid they’ve added to the show is worthless? Well I did think it was cute when she dressed like Princess Leia as Eric’s going away present. And the fact that Red _finally_ busted them in the basement “circle.” (especially the look on Hyde’s face.) And what about Ashton Kutcher? I thought he was leaving the show too. (I half expected them to do a “Col. Blake” on him and have Kelso die in a car crash while on his way to visit Jackie.) But it looks as if he’s coming back next year to rehash the same old Hyde - Jackie - Kelso routine. I agree that the new guy though wasn’t funny at all. He’s a lame replacement for Topher Grace. They should have brought in Seth Green as a regular. ---

> [@Faruiza](#): > > Huh! Had no idea. I’m into true crime books, and I have that one. The movie has created quite a bit of controversy up here in Canada. Here’s [one example](http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Law/2005/05/19/1046979.html). It’s been all over the editorial pages since it was in the development stages – and almost universally condemned as exploitive and sensationalist (by people who haven’t even read the script, of course.) Because _everybody_ knows that films based on horrific crimes are always worthless trash created by cynical, amoral bastards who are merely exploiting the public’s desire to be titilated with sex and violence. Maybe if some movie based on a real contemporary female serial murderer ever premiered to great critical acclaim and garnered dozens of awards and accolades for the writers, director, and lead actress, then people would consider a film on its merits rather than doing everything in their power to try to prevent the movie from being made or distributed. _Maybe…_ :dubious: ---

> [@Exapno Mapcase](#): > > But they’ve also been very careful to keep her in jeans and long sleeves all this season. While that’s her normal outfit, about every other episode they found a reason to put her into something sexier. Has there been something physically wrong with her? Extensive body tattooing? Piercings? Has she gone porny? The very thought makes me shudder. I used to find her so attractive. ---

Gillian Anderson’s a natural blonde, but she looked much better with her hair red. ---

> [@Little Nemo](#): > > Gillian Anderson’s a natural blonde, but she looked much better with her hair red. !!! Never would have guessed! Anna Faris is a natural blonde, too. “She dyed her hair black during the production of Scary Movie (2000) and Scary Movie 2 (2001) so she could give her character, Cindy Campbell, a “Neve Campbellish-look”.” [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0267506/bio](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0267506/bio) ---

Red hair does not, in and of itself, make a woman attractive; but when it works, it works very well. ---

Complete hijack… sorry, but I have to ask, whats Seth Green doing now? And back to the topic at hand, I’ve been blonde for the last few years. However last time I got my haircoloured I decided I was fed up of being blonde so I changed completely to red, am getting it done again tomorrow. ---

> [@acsenray](#): > > I imagine that doing voice work for cartoons doesn’t pay as much as actually appearing in a show. No, but I’m sure all that work (esp. on Robot Chicken) keeps him pretty busy. Seth MacFarlane for one has said that Green takes on projects he believes in, whether they pay through the roof or not. ---

> [@Little Nemo](#): > > Gillian Anderson’s a natural blonde, but she looked much better with her hair red. > [@BrainGlutton](#): > > !!! Never would have guessed! She’s a dark blonde. You can see it in the _X-Files_ pilot. She didn’t dye her hair until after that. gotta admit I was a little disappointed when Prepon went blonde. She’s still damn cute, though. ---

> [@acsenray](#): > > I imagine that doing voice work for cartoons doesn’t pay as much as actually appearing in a show. Oh, I dunno…“Robot Chicken” has cracked over a million viewers. That’s pretty damn good, for a late-night show on cable. Besides, I think he’s got producer and director crecits on the show as well (isn’t “Stoopid Monkey” Green’s production company?), so it’s not just voices. ---
