His hair was fantastic in this film. The olive oil came into play because Hana brought him some to put in his hair. It signaled to him that she was interested in the sexy times.<br /><br />When it came out last fall, I tried to watch Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (the spin-off of the TV show Once Upon a Time), but the hair they gave Naveen Andrews was so bad that it might have killed my lady boner for him for all time. I honestly felt embarrassed for him.<br /><br />And I agree, let's blame everything on the Baby Boomers! :)balyienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785839636620293326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074838946965393539.post-10766076864576415752014-03-04T18:38:17.161-08:002014-03-04T18:38:17.161-08:00Things I remember about this film: the guy who we...Things I remember about this film: the guy who wears a turban (which probably has an actual name, and for which I feel guilty not knowing, but not guilty enough to do some research) combing out his incredibly long gorgeous hair and somehow olive oil was involved.<br /><br />Also, I think there is a Seinfeld episode with Elaine not liking this film and a big deal was made.<br /><br />And that's it. I remember liking it, I remember feeling very much a cinephile for seeing it and I remember nothing else.<br /><br />Perhaps we couldn't bother noting what was going on in the 90s because the Baby Boomer directors were still doing a lot of navel gazing and the Gen-X kids hadn't really gotten a firm toehold.
