Closed Film and TV threads

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.

Because books.

John Turturro or Antonio Banderas. Lea Michelle from Glee.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Huh. Okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is clearly like the blond thing for me, because I see no similarity between the Turturros and and Banderas.

Olive skin isn't just one tone, though. Just like any other kind of skin. It's a range.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

To me it is an undertone- like blue, pink or yellow. Except green. Like plei said, and I learned it from doing stage makeup. But I accept that that isn't the generally accepted definition

Yeah, but it was until really recently, damn it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...I was the third choice.

Who were the other two?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've always thought of olive as an undertone too, and I know jack shit about make-up. Okay, not quite jack shit, but honestly everything I know about make-up I learned from buffistas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

why does his face seesaw in puffiness so?

Generally a sign of alcoholism. You can chart how much Alex Baldwin or Matthew Perry were drinking at any point in their careers by how puffy they looked.

Well, then I don't understand undertones, because Banderas and Turturro look markedly different to me. Banderas is light brown. Turturro is pink. I stand by "I see no similarity".

Maybe my brain is only big enough to distinguish between high yellow and redbone and spot octoroons at 40 paces, but both "olive" and "blond" are oft useless for me.

Okay, I image googled. If this [link] is olive, I get it. Ish. Because I don't get this [link] And that's not undertone, that's a tan or image reproduction differences to me.

Oh, and I take back what I said about "The Turturros": [link] -- I see that as different from "factory white."
