Bana's Make-up in Star Trek XI

[number6]

The unwarranted, overly confrontational tone of the response is something I'm used to around here.

You have to be pretty sensitive if you thought my initial response was some how "unwarranted and overly confrontational." In fact you're still going on and on about the fact that I suggested anything at all.

actually flares to wider than his nostril width at that point...

See my post above with the photo. Can provide bigger similar angled photos that shows the exact same facial feature. What you think is a prosthetic (a crease in his forehead, must have been grueling in that make-up chair) and a facial feature above his eye (the make-up dept really went over the top didn't they) are all nothing more than natural parts of his head. Simple as that. No conspiracy theories or anything. Shouldn't even be an issue.

He's right, Cary.. You're really the one making a big deal out of it.

First the fabric discussion, then the uniform color incident and now the freakin' ridges on Eric Bana's forehead ... What have we gotten down to?

Well, despite the fact that this exchange is being set up as yet another "let's pick a fight over something" issue, I've made my point, and I think I've made it as fully as is necessary for anyone who's actually approaching things from an open mind.

The unwarranted, overly confrontational tone of the response is something I'm used to around here. Personal attacks are order of the day. But I'm not going to play along.

Guys, if you can't see anything, fine... good for you... and if you can... fine, good for you. I can see it. What I'm finding FASCINATING is the idea that there are people who are, once again, getting so personal over this... and that there are people who are, evidently, so convinced that it "CAN'T POSSIBLY, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE THE TRUE (tm)" that they're unwilling to even consider the opposite perspective.

You guys want to think that Eric Bana's nose bridge, instead of narrowing between his eyes (as is very clearly the case in the un-made-up image I posted), actually flares to wider than his nostril width at that point... fine. I think you're wrong. Guess we'll all know soon enough, huh?

Cary, you are taking things personally.

NCC-1701 didn't mean anything by his post. I'm astonished you think that. There's maybe the odd poster responding specifically to you, but I don't think the majority are. We spend the majority of time in this forum discussing hats, avocados and THE WOMEN! We are not ALL against you.

Can we not disagree on this point?

I don't think the ridges are there. I might be wrong. We'll find out soon enough. If people disagree with you, surely that's allowed? IDIC and all that? Some of us will end up right, some of us will end up being wrong.

Lets face it, we all think we are the absolute authority on Star Trek.

I know I am

I think you'll find they've covered Eric Bana's natural eyebrows with a small prosthetic so he didn't have to shave them off.

Exactly.

Cary, I honestly like you and your posts which are are very thought-out and informative most of the time. I was just joking around. (And I thought the '' would render that obvious.) In actuality I'm just as interested in all those little Trek details as most of the people around here.

But will the handle turn in the turbolift?

Sorry for not being clear... I was kind of agreeing with the point you were making in your original post (the "here we go again" thing).

I should have been clearer to whom I was responding, I guess... sorry for being unclear.

To clarify... I agree with the point I think you were making, which is that it's a BIG when every single comment results in a battle-royale.

Green-vs-Gold. Boots-tucked-vs-boots-cuffed. How-to-spell-Minbari/Mimbari. Is Bana wearing makeup or is he really an alien? Which stooge is the funniest one? And on and on and on...

I just get worn down sometimes, when I can't make a single post without someone (in this thread, it's someone different than it has been in other threads recently, at least) who decides to stop discussing the topic and start getting PERSONAL. It's just very, very, very tiresome.

I enjoy having conversations, and yes, DEBATES, over the stuff we all talk about here. The problem with "talking" on the 'net is that if someone decides to be a butthead, you can't just reach over and punch 'em in the face... and as a result, some people seem to REALLY enjoy being "protected buttheads."

But I'm not sayin' that about everyone... and certainly wasn't saying it about the overwhelming majority of folks in this thread... and absolutely wasn't saying it about 1701 here.

^ Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification, Cary.

But will the handle turn in the turbolift?

I'm definitely boycotting if it won't!

But more importantly, what about the doors? Will they swoosh? Because I'm definitely boycotting if they just swish! I can't stand the 24th century Trek swish!

No.

Actually, I think you'll find they gave Bana the same opportunity Gene once gave Nimoy, being surgically altered so's to save time in the makeup chair, with the promise that another operation would come later to change him back when filming was done for good.

Obviously, that's what they did. I'll be waiting to see if Bana agreed to the second surgery, or if he felt it's a good look for him (torn ear and all), and will be bringing it with him to all future roles.

What I want to know is what type of large animal produces poopies that are coconut sized and green.

This is quite a mystery, and I wish Shatner was in the new movie so we could ask him what was really up inside that storage bin.

Thank you for supplying this restored video. I never liked the aired version.
