Senior Member follically challenged Posted October 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 23, 2021 If you've read the book, and / or you enjoy sci-fi, go see it. It's great. But you know you have an obsession with hair, when in spite of witnessing a true epic with superb special effects on IMAX, I still couldn't help but admire the hairline of Oscar Isaac Lower hairline than the character playing his son, half his age. Has to make you wonder if he ever thanked the hair gods for his genetics, or merely takes it for granted day in, day out. If i had to guess, I'd say the latter 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mark Wolfer Posted October 23, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2021 Oscar Isaac surely is blessed. On the subject of Dune, I think Sting managed to keep his hair nicely over the 30 year time span from the 1984 movie to his appearance at the 2013 Grammy awards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I have read a few times that Sting has had HTs, though I have never done the deep dive on this. He rarely makes public appearances anymore so I don't know..

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted October 24, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted October 24, 2021 When I was 18/19 it was people like Sting (and even Jack Nicholson) who gave me hope of hanging onto my receding hair. This was back in 1985! How they have still not gone the full Norwood 7 is beyond me. Yes they may have resorted to 5ARI's or minoxidil but back then this wasn't even an option.

Back then to shave your head mean’t that you were a skin head. Today shaving your head means you wear a suit or your a Hollywood star like Vin Diesal, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, etc. There were no positive shaved head positive role models. It was far worse and less accepted being bald back then and their was no hope. No 5ari’s, minoxidil. No Single follicle grafts (just plugs with up to a dozen hairs in each one). Cosmetic surgery in general was perceived as vain. And that’s just if you were a female! You suffered in silence and if it hit you young like it did me in the era of head banging long hair it was a depressing time. 3 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man, I have to remind myself that Hollywood actors probably use a fair amount of Toppik or other concealers to appear better, but this man looks great in everything. I'm big fan of Villeneuve ever since Enemy, but I thought Dune was too lifeless. It often feels like there's proper transition scenes missing in the film and, beyond that, some fairly bad dialogue. Main actor is too unemotive as well and as perhaps poor casting. Otherwise, was disappointing that the more Islamic/Middle Eastern influences had been cut out. I think the saving grace is that it's very pretty to look at. Oddly, one of the few instances that I think it would have succeeded on an artistic level more as a TV show than a film.

I too am a huge Villeneuve fan. My main criticisms of the film were: audio not clear enough, not enough scenes with the Baron, and perhaps a little boring towards the end. But that is my preference of the book also: the fremen stuff i don't enjoy as much. The power struggle and battles I thought were great, personally. Would also be cool to see more of the spice in the next film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I’m still taking 0.5mg Monday and Tuesday and 1mg on Friday. Still no side effects. Yes I am still going ahead with surgery with Dr Arika at Eugenix. I’m just waiting for confirmation from Qantas and the Australian government on when flights to India commence. I would say at this stage it could be January as many destinations that were aimed for March next year are slowly being brought forward. This Friday Australia reaches 80% vaccinated so international travel to many countries will finally begin in a week!!!! 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 27, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 27, 2021 Oscar Isaac is of Latin descent, he has thick, coarse, and curly hair, pretty much like those from Spain. My sister has the same exact hair type. It really isn't his hairline that is ridiculously low, it's that his hair is so thick when it's grown out it completely covers his corners. If you look at him with short hair, he's a Norwood 2. I wish I had that hair type, man 1,000 grafts of his hair is like 4,000 grafts of fine thin hair. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Sting is one of those Jack Nicholson cases where he had significant balding at a young age, but didn't really progress much farther. That is why you can't always say someone who's a Norwood 3 at 30 will become a Norwood 6 by 60. It can happen, but not always. 3 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
