Nice article, why the picture of Natalie Portman?

Posted by: Robert Carver at December 12, 2005 03:44 PM

Um...I think you guys have the wrong photo up. That's Natalie Portman, I guess from when she was filming "V for Vendetta".

Posted by: Vincent at December 12, 2005 04:04 PM

umm. That's not Sinead O'Connor, that's Natalie Portman. Wrong baldie.

Once I was at a bar and a rastafarian gentleman offered me a pull from his jazz cigarette.

Natalie Portman is no Sinead O'Connor...

Posted by: Siobhan at December 12, 2005 08:35 PM

Not all bald women are Sinead O'Connor. That is, Natalie Portman is not Sinead O'Connor. Neither is Melissa Etheridge after chemo. Neither is Sigourney Weaver in Aliens. Sinead O'Connor is quite famous -- and quite thirty nine years old and quite Irish. Natalie Portman is a twenty four year old Long Island Jew. Not to nit-pick, but that's a big mistake. Get your shit together Village Voice photo department.

Posted by: Randall Snare at December 12, 2005 10:08 PM

I don't believe you should be so hard on Sinead. Rastafarianism is not a race-based faith system; it based in one's heart. One love, one heart.

As a avid and passionate reggae fan who is well-versed in the history of reggae and its artists, I admire the Sinead's ability to render such moving "remakes" of these classic reggae songs. Furthermore, the fact that Sly and Robbie decided to collaborate with her speaks volumes; who is a better judge of anyone's reggae or rasta merit than these guys? Why not be much harsher in your criticism of these new age raggamuffin dancehall reggae artists who have destroyed the spirit of the music with their obsessive focus of consumption and bling bling. No doubt, Sinead clearly displays and pays homage to the "true" spirit of reggae on this album.

This photo is of Natalie Portman, not Sinead O'Connor...see http://www.sineadoconnormusic.com/

That isn't a picture of Sinead O'Connor !

Posted by: Andre Houle at December 13, 2005 01:04 PM

That ain't Sinead in the picture - that's Natalie Portman.

Posted by: egg at December 13, 2005 01:22 PM

isn't that natalie portman?

Posted by: sEAN at December 13, 2005 01:54 PM

That's not a photo of Sinead.

Posted by: kelly at December 13, 2005 02:02 PM

Hey, that picture isn't Sinead. That's Natalie Portman.

Posted by: Elizabeth at December 13, 2005 02:43 PM

hey, i think you screwed up. you posted a picture of sinead o'connor instead of natalie portman.

Posted by: michael at December 13, 2005 06:11 PM

re-read the caption underneath the picture and someone please tell me they get it.

yes, it is indeed not a picture of Sinead O'Connor

Posted by: at December 13, 2005 10:53 PM

yo morons, start readin - it says it right in the fuckin caption!

Posted by: morons at December 14, 2005 02:30 AM

you guys are being bought out due to lack of readership? how can that be true with such excellent photo research?

by the way, love how review don't use real sentences or proper English. love use of word "ain't."

Posted by: mortimer at December 14, 2005 09:14 AM

That's SUPPOSED to be a picture of Natalie Portman above a Sinead article. That's the point! Get out your dictionaries.

Posted by: at December 14, 2005 09:29 AM

um, yes, how is it SUPPOSED to be a picture of Natalie Portman? I don't think the use of inimitable is ironic.

Posted by: meg at December 14, 2005 10:05 AM

it's not very funny, if it is supposed to be a joke...

Posted by: at December 14, 2005 10:38 AM

it's not a joke. it's just wrong. "inimitable" is a word used to describe someone or something so singular that it or she cannot be copyable. so the caption on any photo is inevitably saying "here is a photograph of sinead o'connor, who is so singular, she cannot be copied."

if the editors were inexplicably trying to ALSO send a wry (and incredibly off-point) message to natalie portman to stop trying to copy sinead o'connor (why on earth???), the caption presumably have to be recast as a declaration, as in, "sinead o'connor is inimitable (even though some try)" or some such.

in any case, this really seems like simple retardation - either on the part of a photo editor, or a lexically challenged word-editor. in either case, two modern words: duh and Gawker.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Posted by: Anna Xenides at December 14, 2005 12:13 PM

Holy crap people. It obviously is a joke. The choice of the word "inimitable" confirms rather than dispells this idea.

And the fact that so many people didn't get it makes it even funnier. Face it, the joke's on you!!!

Like Nick wouldn't realize that was Natalie Portman... he dated her in college, for cryin' out loud!!!

Portman isn't a Long Island Jew - she's a Tel Aviv Jew.

Posted by: Andrea at December 14, 2005 02:04 PM

if the picture mistake is a joke, it's incredibly offensive. has there been a retraction yet?

Posted by: paz at December 14, 2005 04:05 PM

Beautiful pic of Natalie Portman. Lacklustre review of Sinead O'Connor live. I don't think this is a joke at all, it's simply an editorial error of the highest magnitude. Some poor picture sub drank too much last night on a Christmas do, perhaps. Or maybe all white bald women look alike to whoever placed the pic. x

According to NORAD lore, the tradition began in 1955 when Sears-Roebuck placed an ad in The Gazette in Colorado Springs telling kids to dial a number if they wanted to talk to Santa.

But the number was one digit off. When the first call came to NORAD's predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command, Col. Harry Shoup told an eager child he would check the radars for Santa.

he wins points for this. ILM would be funner with more overt SMB references.

anyhow, the only reason why i came on this site and why my intial entry contains signs of anger is because prior to that entry, i just came back from the mall and while i was there, i was in a store (american eagle) and as i was paying for my purchase, i said thank you and merry christmas, and when the girl wanted to say merry christmas back(seeing that she was wearing a cross), she hesitated and said 'merry holidays' confused whether or not her manager that was standing next to her was gonna get mad if she didnt follow company policy and say 'merry christmas'.....thats what got me pissed, and as soon as i got home, i googled 'fucking secularism' and this page was in the search result.....so there you go......thast why i was pissed off and i hope no one quotes me cause quoting me would just prove that you have no argument of ur own, just a reaction to what i say, and if u dont have anything original to say, then dont re-iterate what i did, and no, i wont explain what i write in my comments, i stated above before that i am so-called condescentarianism ...whatever

anyways, merry christmas and i hope you all see the light of christ

and just for the record, to whomever wants to 'kick me in the nut', go ahead........i can practice my football and rugby skills on you considering its the off season and i havent channeled my physically strength on anyone yet for a while ;), besides my girlfriend :)

cheers all and merry christmas.....and like i said, bring on the 'yangs'
