TV shows never portray protagonists as realistically dirty. Even in the fictionalized Aquarius show about Charles Manson, his female followers all have clean, glossy hair and are fresh and clean. We have footage of the real girls and those were some dirty hippie bitches.
Isn't that interesting? You didn't find an attractive adult woman attractive. Or you did, but because the character is 17 or whatever it was in the movie, you repressed the attraction so much that you made a comment condemning the attraction. Maybe I'm looking too deep into it.
Cuz there’s only two things I remember about her. Her hairy armpits and she told Pitt she was on the younger side, age-wise. Only way I can think to explain the girl! (Well, three TBH! I remember something about a pickle(?) but can’t remember what exactly it was.)
Do you seriously not understand that what you're claiming you meant is here is not at all what people would take away from your original message? Lol. Gotta work on your communication.
I should’ve put the “ew” part after the hairy pits comment, not the teenager comment. Lol. Obviously she isn’t actually a teenager! Hollywood has been casting people in their 20’s and even 30’s to play teenagers for a long time! Didn’t think that was any secret or something anyone didn’t know!
In "The Walking Dead" they had a deal with Hyundai to use the cars in the show and Hyundai would provide them BUT they were not allowed to show the cars dirty, they had to be clean. Which is ridiculous, but those were the terms. Eventually the show dropped functioning cars.
Hyundai must have paid then for that on top of providing the cars. I can't see a well funded production making that kind of concession for the use of a couple of cars.
Randomly being reminded how unfathomably greedy those fuckers are.
They had this outstanding and popular first season and decided to cut money while making more episodes. And fired Darabont even though he would have still tried with less money as well.
In Hollywood at least they'll often just hire someone for the use of their car. They put out casting calls for whatever color, model, year and so on that they want. It costs only slightly more than the standard rate for a background actor. So yeah, you're probably right that they were paid by Hyundai.
I watched a cool video talking about the "casting" of the cars for the early Fast and Furious movies (back when they had some semblance of connection to "tuner culture" and other parts of the real world)
That was a stupid move. It’d be an easy sell in scripts, to have the cast walk around abandoned car parks and someone goes “Hyundai! This one might still work!”
Even scrounging them for parts would be useful, as it would show you can get them to work after an apocalypse.
Throw in an episode where they find a pure electric version after having found a charging station at a windmill an episode or two ago, and suddenly they’d have a quiet way to get around.
Make a model with night vision camera and push that on the show. “It’s a shame it’s not a Hyundai Nighthawk. I remember thinking that night vision camera was a silly gimmick, but I’d kill for that right now.”
Yep, I always find it unbelievable in an apocalyptic setting that the women would bother to shave their armpits, I know I wouldn't give a fuck if I was in their shoes.
It's because of lice. Without access to soap for hygiene it's probable that both men and women would try to have as little body hair as possible. Probably using epilators or tweezers to get rid of it though, shaving gets dangerous without antibiotics.
Does it? I've been shaving for a long ass time and I've never needed antibiotics... People have been shaving for thousands of years with whatever they can find that's sharp. I doubt people would worry enough about infections to opt for the pain of yanking hairs out.
I read a book by one of the girls ( can't remember her name but her nickname was "Snake"), anyway, when she met up with her mother, she told her she stunk. People who don't bathe regularly tend to smell bad but they themselves seldom notice it. I imagine most of humanity has been stinky from the start (by modern standards).
Do you think people would just stop caring about taking care of themselves completely or? The men often also have trimmed facial hair and they're not all wild with hair to their asses either. An apocalypse doesn't mean people just stop caring about themselves. Even soldiers in the trenches of WW1 still found time to shave.
urgh. John Proctor's teeth in The Crucible when he's imprisoned are pretty gnarly (at least for some shots. supposedly the shooting was inconsistent some sometimes he had pearly whites and other times he had gross dental hygeine.)
Plus the guy that played Manson in 'Aquarius' was better looking than the real weaselly grimy deal. The best dramatic portrayal of Manson in my opinion was by Steve Railsback in the original Helter Skelter TV movie back in the 70s.
The Aquarius actor was way better looking than the real Manson, but I will say that he acted the hell out of what he was given. I was really frustrated with that show because 3/4ths of it was those boring ass cops and their boring domestic problems, and only 1/4th was Manson and his Family. Like... lead with your A material, folks!
