Thin people are more "esthetic" and are de rigueur if you're looking for a critic to applaud your cinematography. <br /><br />And speaking of differently looked actors, perhaps one of your dissertations on the disappearance of the "character actor" in film roles wouldn't come amiss either. Watching TCM, you can see scads of amazing characters. Where's today's <br />Monte Wooley? Sterling Holloway? Sidney Greenstreet? Beulah Bondi?<br /> Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289856510554336990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-59355620173777216182014-02-03T00:25:30.609-04:002014-02-03T00:25:30.609-04:00See the once corpulent Mycroft in *both* of the up...See the once corpulent Mycroft in *both* of the updated Sherlock Holmes series. <br /><br />I can't wait to see Matthew McConaughey playing the titular role in a new Nero Wolfe show.

Hair styles are one obvious area, relationships between men and women or races is another.<br /><br />All can be forgiven (unless it is a documentary) if the story comes first. There was a time in Henry's life when he was tall strong and handsome. Then came a fall from a horse. Also period armor is notorious for distorting forms even when properly worn and displayed. <br /><br />The problem is, that unless you have a real actor who remains virile even when he's heavy the romance becomes much harder and you know Hollywood hates to work. <br /><br />Back to my original point, all movies distort the past but unless it's a documentary it's only unforgivable if it negatively impacts the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-47636388179390800292014-01-31T15:07:50.071-04:002014-01-31T15:07:50.071-04:00Rainforest Giant here,

You are more likely to see an overtly disabled person than a fat person in most shows.<br /><br />Seeing that Hollywood and the left use only stereotypes as short hand, no fat character can be virile or sexy. Thus the slimming for characters they want with a love interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
