David Bowie in Labyrinth.
Yeah, but if you're looking at his hair, you're watching the wrong movie.
Good thing the pants were so tight.
IJS.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Quite often, someone who has no idea about hair and makeup, has a "vision," and there's nothing the hair and makeup people can do about it, but try and tone down the hideousness/inappropriateness.
If that's the case here, the makeup and hair people should get medals for having to see what the original conception was. 'Cause Alexander's hair as it appears in the film? FUGLY.

Yes, blond definitely doesn't do CF justice. He reminds me of the guys in Point Break.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I'm a little slow. AJ plays Alexander's mom? D'you think we'll find among the deleted scenes something to the effect, "Your mom is really hot, Alex..." "Don't go there...." "Are you sure she's not a stepmom, dude? She's totally do-able." It would explain a lot.
And speaking of hair, has anybody seen Friday Night Lights and Christian Kane's world-class mullet? That's a great mullet.

It's not just that he's blonde, it's that his roots are still dark, and it's that shape, and it's just a whole bad bad ugly bad hair package that there's no excuse for from anyone in the chain of production.
(Though it does amuse the hell out of me that every conversation I've had about this movie inevitably ends up at the hair. So maybe they did it on purpose, figuring that as long as we were all mesmerized by how bad the hair was, nobody would notice whether or not the plot/characterization/pacing/historicity were any good.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
there's no excuse for from anyone in the chain of production.
Have you seen the posters? There seem to be a lot of blind people involved with the look of this movie. The posters are awful. They're floating heads with faded edges, and convey absolutely no information that would pull you to the movie that a cast list wouldn't. Pretty people look awful on it.

I have a plan.
Okay, so Sean and I were watching some of 'Orca' this afternoon and got in to a little debate.
Who's hotter? Charlotte Rampling or Bo Derek?

Yes. There's no excuse for those either.
