brows

Ice Cube’s eyebrows should have won an Oscar and a Grammy by now. They look like someone used the Twirl filter on them. Photoshopped at birth. I have wonky eyebrows on account of having an abscess removed (badly) as a kid. I kind of forget about it but I guess it’s really noticeable, being that it’s right between my eyes. My wonky is not as good as Cube’s wonky.

They took years to honour Scorsese’s eyebrows though. The bit in Anaconda where he shoots the snake in the head and goes “BEETCH!”.

I got this comment spam yesterday:

“Your guestbook is example of middle-class guestbooks. Congratulation! I?ll show your site and guestbook to my friends.”

If Cube read that comment, you know what face he’d make?

My favourite Cube song is either “We Had To Tear This Mothafucka Up” or “A Bird In The Hand”. He actually made at least two good songs this year. Something good to frown about.

What’s the musical leap between “We Had To Tear This Mothafucka Up” and “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It”?
I like the lyrics on both but while the music gets me from the old track, the new one just sounds slow and tired, pedestrian even.
The lyrics are great though, shame he spoils it by doing his little bit of boxing right at the end and looks like a little kid playing. Other than that the videos for both of the newer tracks are great, information overload.

Who would win in a fight between his eyebrows and Jack Nicholson’s?

Ah yeah, well spotted, there is no musical leap there. It IS pedestrian. It’s a purely lyrics track for me (very rare. I like music). Though by his post-94 standards it’s positively exciting. He got bad taste in music.

I think Jack Nicholson’s brow is a lover not a fighter. That said, I own “Are we there yet” on DVD. Cube’s brow is more intimidating, Nicholson’s more maniacal.

I always thought that nicholson’s Batman co-star Michael keaton has an extraordinary set of brows:

but my favourite celebrity eyebrows are definitely David Hemmings:

I don’t think its the eyebrows themselves – its that space between. He can get extraordinary nuance into that little bit of flesh. Obviously what hes usually expressing is rage or irritation or anger or contempt, but he does it soooo well.

If they ever do make that A-team movie, hes gotta play B.A.

My ideal role for Cube would be in some kind of M.A.S.H. remake. Maybe set in Viet Nam, but it’s still a feelgood comedy. That would be the best. Actually “Are We There Yet” is my ideal Cube role. It’s the best.

It is the bit in between, but there’s no word for it. I asked God. There’s no name for it. That’s the bit on my brow that is fucked up. I can’t get so much nuance into it but I can get it really wrinkledy.

Michael Keaton just looks like Jason Donovan. I don’t really believe they aren’t the same person.

David Hemmings is a nonce. I hate him.

Have you seen the special feature on Three Kings that’s about Mr. Cube?

I got a nice scar on that bit in between my brows too. My flatmate used to call it the Thunderbolt, or Thunderbrow, and it earned me the nickname ‘Angriest Man in the World.’ But I used to contest it, saying Eminem and Number 6 in the Prisoner were marginally more pissed off with all of the planet than me.
