There's this story that Mark Hammil tells about being on the set of Star Wars and he mentions to Harrison Ford that their hair should be wet, since it was just wet in the previous scene.

And Ford says something like, "This ain't that kind of movie, kid. If the audience is talking about our hair, something has already gone wrong."

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 98 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I actually really like that line. I remember watching the latest Star Wars trilogy and just nitpicking. I'm not a super fan, I don't even own anything Star Wars. But, the movies kept pulling out stupid takes that my suspension of disbelief was gone and I kept focusing on hyper details.

I also like that Harrison Ford calls everyone kid.

Mark Hammil does an excellent Harrison Ford impression, so there's a possibility that the "kid" is part of the impression, rather than a direct quote. Also, I was doing the quote from memory, so I might have remembered it wrong.

But I also like the thought that Harrison Ford calls everyone kid.

Please remember that Star Wars was released in 1977. It absolutely blew people's minds because they were doing something that nobody had ever seen before, to an audience that was just perfectly ripe for receiving it. It would have been impossible for them to cover every single base, when they were doing such ground breaking things, you kind of have to see it in the light of that, like you would watch Metropolis by Fritz Lang, or Nosferatu.

You can't nitpick it the same way you can Marvel slop in 2026, there was so many ground breaking things, most of all it was a genuinely alien experience because we hadn't really seen such a well designed intergalactic society and world building before, that all the minor stuff is just afterthoughts to what the greater story was.

It's like finding flaws in a renaissance painting, or the Iliad, or classical opera- which is a fitting comparison considering SW is the definition of space opera, down to containing one of the most genuinely masterful, memorable, and well crafted scores of all time.

how i feel watching an apocalyptic movie where all the men are clean shaven

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 80 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Always bugged me how the grass wasn't overgrown in The Walking Dead. Who the hell is going around mowing lawns in the zombie apocalypse?!

The same thing that is lighting the candles in caves and hideouts in Doom and Skyrim. It’s their summer job

My biggest gripe is when they're not cleanly shaven, visibly dirty and rugged, and then their teeth are blinding white. Motherfucker even my own teeth don't fucking blind me and I wash my teeth.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

They're always "styled dirty", so they look filthy but somehow perfect. 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. It takes me out of the suspension of disbelief, because I can't get lost in the acting if the acting is done by these perfect creatures that look NOTHING like they haven't slept, are underfed, paranoid, depressed, and on the brink.

Sure, that is harder to achieve, because good art is hard to achieve, and I just don't dig cheap art, what can I say.

Maybe they forced her to get laser hair removal when they were messing with her. Super underrated show! I love Dirk Gently, whatever character has screen time at a given moment is my favorite character.

100% guarantee that if she did have armpit hair some other sad bastard would be making a post commenting on it

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not sure that's a good enough reason to avoid showing women with body hair in media.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 11 points 1 week ago (7 children)

I'm not saying it is. Just that you can't please anybody it seems

I loved this series. Was amazing.

[–] gedfromgont@piefed.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

First season was over the top great.

Second season dropped off a bit but still a good watch.

Wild to call out a character that suffers from neck-down alopecia. Waow.

Haven't seen the movie but I bet there are another million things that doesn't make any sense for a skinny woman to be able to do.

Physics leave the room when women starts swinging...

[–] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 25 points 1 week ago

It's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, physics was never invited in this story.

I think the joke was more that she doesn't know what fruit shampoo is. She was excited to shower, she knows that bathing is even if she doesn't do it often.

Does that mean she's removing body hair? No, I get why it seems inconsistent. I do think humans have a very diverse expression of body hair and some people have barely any visible body hair even if they don't remove it.

If I want to appear hairless I need to shave daily (or more, dark hair on pale skin RIP) whereas I have friends who appear hairless on their legs and armpits unless you get really close. No, it's not from waxing or laser, it's just the texture and colour of their body hair.

I'm not trying to suggest this is definitely what is going on here and it would be nice to see a wider expression of appearances in media. Maybe then we'd get over the narrow view of "acceptable" body hair.
