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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

I think I have go with Bo Derek if only for the fact that the only thing I've seen Charlotte Rampling in involved her having relations with a chimpanzee.
Hey, hold on, she was in Swimming Pool. Hmm.
Nah, I still go with Bo. Despite the name "Bo." That's a tough obstacle to overcome.
And remember, folks: According to DroogAlexK of the IMDb boards, "Orca is the greatest movie of all time."
Thomash - Nov 19, 2004 4:39:54 pm PST #6046 of 10001
I have a plan.
Well, according to Dudley Moore, Bo is an 11. But Sean and I both agreed that Charlotte was much shinier in this movie. I think it's the accent and the hair.
