Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits

  They’re always “styled dirty”. It’s like when the hero gets a cut, it’s always this cool looking little streak across the cheekbone, or if it’s on the body it’s a perfect 10cm scar on the shoulder, or close by the pelvis so they can show off their abs.

    Part of that (the cut placement) is making the prosthetics though. Yeah, you can make good looking cuts elsewhere, but the more the site moves, the more hassle it is. Facial prosthetics in particular run into trouble when they’re near the mouth or brows. So you end up with cheeks being preferred overall.

    With the body, you run into issues with making something visible, movable, and believable. Gashes across the abs fail at all three, whereas shoulder and pecs are solid choices. Legs would be too, but they’re not in frame as much, and shouldn’t be without a good reason.

    Everything on screen is a compromise of some sort.

      Sure, all that, but they do it because it looks cool.

      Of course, compromise. I mean… To a degree. Some auteurs as, sigh, Kubrick let’s say, refuse to compromise, I believe the same thing went for Alfred Hitchcock and, fuck it, John Carpenter. There is something to be said for realism. Sometimes less is more. Most of the time that’s true at least half of the time I feel like.

  Motherfucker even my own teeth don’t fucking blind me and I wash my teeth.

  Maybe you should try brushing instead.

    …So you get volume and lushness to your teeth.

      Remind me of “what if your teeth were flaccid but got naturally hard when you were hungry” (not my joke)

  The Ghost and the Darkness, Val Kilmer. I enjoyed that movie a lot. But every time that handsome devil smiled it took me right out of 18th century Kenya and straight to 1996 LA TMZ.

  I also wash my teeth. Im just using regular dawn right now and my teeth are still yellow too. Maybe I need to try that citrus stuff with the grit in it.
