Reply to comment by Laileena in Buster Keaton, Roscoe Arbuckle, and Al St. John, 1918. Once his deadpan persona became established, Keaton avoided smiling in front of a camera. by L0st_in_the_Stars
Film stock in 1918 wasn’t the most high-quality stuff, compared to the hyperfine grain stuff you get today, and shot selection at the time was still very limited, in that … it wasn’t exactly “Set the camera for a shot and let it roll for a couple of minutes,” like it was a decade and a half before, but we’re still three decades from the first movie that looks and is edited like a modern movie (that’s why Citizen Kane is so important), so most of the movie is done in medium shots, with close-ups used only sparingly.
As a result, you have to use a lot of makeup to make sure an actor’s facial feature don’t disappear into a blur on the film. It’s very similar to why stage actors wear similar makeup, because the person in the nosebleed seats doesn’t need to be able to see what color your eyes are, but he has to be able to see you have eyes.

Yeah but back then with about $300 in parts and a weekend, you could easily rip 300 horsepower tonnes of torque out of a 350. With $300 parts on a BMW would get you 192 horsepower and the same torque.

Every time I see old photos of Barbra like this, I can't help but wonder if Hayley Williams has any acting chops because there is no one I can see playing Babs in a biopic more than I can picture Hayley doing it.

First time I saw her, she transformed into a 500ft lizard robot after inhaling the Triangles of Zinthar, and Robert Smith from The Cure had to fight to stop her from destroying the city

I wouldn't worry about it. If anyone else mentions it, claim it's a sobriety test.
Also, your gran was much too hot for that guy.
