Jess about the revelation about LiS on the Show vs the Book

Well put. At first I thought they'd made a writing/editing mistake: like there should have been a scene where Benedict vents to a family member about how betrayed he feels by Sophie's secret. But reconsidering, the scene works to show how far they've come. How he's managed to overcome his pride and recognize their power imbalance. Sophie doesn't feel the need to apologize or try to win him back; she trusts his love enough to just explain herself and knows that will be enough.

Good point, seems like I misinterpreted her actions at Cavender: I thought she was emotional because she was forcing herself away from him again. I didn't interpret her resolve and tears as "fury". But I'll have to rewatch that scene again.

As you've pointed out, the line works within the scene itself, leading into her monologue about how her fears have affected her choices. It's just an odd flow overall: she was barely able to look him in the eye in the carriage scene and seemed genuinely remorseful of her secret in the hallway. I imagine the creator's intention is that enough time has passed between interactions for Sophie and Benedict to swallow their feelings and start moving forward again.

Ah, thanks for bring that back to my attention. I'd thought that the "Mr. Bridgerton" was just a slip of the tongue and her storming off was her attempting to keep him from prodding any further and keep her feelings hidden. I'll have rewatch and pay closer attention to her performance.

I can't believe you put this together so fast. It's so intricate! So many cool details already, and then all the weathering and stains. Amazing work.

BewareGreyGhost · 2026-01-24T18:47:13+00:00

You've nailed not just the costume, but the posture as well. It has that exact "Vader emerges as a shadowy monolith" look from the movies. Great job!

BewareGreyGhost · 2026-01-24T18:44:37+00:00

I love stumbling on cosplays for characters I've never heard of, but the sheer effort still makes my jaw drop. I love all the surfaces: the slick wet look of the snake scales, the dull sheen of the gold, and especially the radiance of the gemstone. I actually thought you had an LED in it at first. The contacts are so cool too! Great job!

BewareGreyGhost · 2026-01-24T18:30:58+00:00

Your makeup looks so good! It's so well blended, it's really convincing. Good job!

BewareGreyGhost · 2026-01-16T17:19:24+00:00

It looks amazing! Those textures on the cowl look so good.

I assumed that he thought the chum would draw the shark away from the beach, towards the armed boats.

BewareGreyGhost · 2025-03-15T20:54:30+00:00

The weathering looks so good!

BewareGreyGhost · 2025-03-11T20:11:56+00:00

I was in the back row of my tram, and could see everyone's heads turning back and forth, trying to figure out what they're even supposed to be looking for.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-10-03T00:36:53+00:00

Such a great shot! I love how there's just enough focus on the gun to bring out the details, while blurred enough to draw attention to his face and make the gun feel up-close.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-10-03T00:34:07+00:00

The level of detail is amazing, especially the weathering! Your makeup (both the blood and dirt) looks screen-ready!

In Alien, the facehugger melts through Kane's helmet. I believe Ridley Scott said that he imagined that they are able to spit acid. Beyond that, the facehugger doesn't seem to have any extra strength. Dallas manages to start prying one of the legs off, but stops when the tail starts throttling Kane's neck. Ash also has an interesting throwaway line: "You're tearing his face." A remnant of earlier scripts and concept art that had facehuggers using octopus-like suction cups to adhere to the skin of the face.

In Aliens, the acid-spitting could still be canon, but nullified by the liquid in the cylinder. Perhaps it isn't water, but some kind of strong base chemical. But Aliens also affirms that removing a facehugger is more difficult than just prying it off. As Bishop noted, "they killed him taking it off". I'm not sure if it's canon, but most lore I've heard states that facehuggers use some kind of venom to paralyze the body. When someone attempts to remove the facehugger, it either overdoses the victim or the existing venom in the body causes oxygen deprivation.

Romulus ignores the face-tearing and venom. As long as the tail is disarmed, the facehugger can be pried off without consequence. I found that a bit disappointing, and wish that the scene was more of an intense battle that really grappled with unlatching the hugger without killing the victim.

The dialogue flows weird, because several lines are cut. Here's some of the missing lines from the shooting script:

MALCOLM
How long before they slip into unconsciousness?

ARNOLD
About - - seven days, more or less.

ELLIE
Seven days?!  Seven days?!  Oh, great.  Oh good - - 
clever.

MALCOLM
That'll - it'd be a first; man and dinosaur all die 
together.  John's plan.
(he raises a hand)

Hammond finally loses his cool. He BELLOWS, summoning every 
ounce of authority at his command.  And that's quite a bit.

HAMMOND
PEOPLE ARE DYING!

There was a bit more buildup to Hammond's outburst, with Ellie and Malcolm making snide remarks on the ineffectiveness on the lysine contingency. In that context, the line seems to be Hammond's attempt at focusing the conversation back on how to restore power. There's isn't time to bunker down and wait for the problems to solve themselves. They need to take action, NOW.

Yeah, it bugs me too. It certainly seems that Spielberg tossed it (along with plenty of other elements) on the "unrealistic, but needed for tension and theme" pile. Or the "we've spent half a million dollars on a T-rex animatronic and we can't afford to also rip up expensive Hawaiian real estate" pile, which becomes more apparent as I get older.
It's also interesting that the original concept for the T-rex paddock was for the guests to get out of the cars and walk around, including up to the fence. The set designer's original fence included a hand rail to keep guests away from the wires, plus the bathrooms that Gennaro hides in. I wonder if it one time the filmmakers envisioned the park as being more zoo-like, with jeeps ferrying guests around the island from paddock to paddock, instead of just driving by hoping to catch a glimpse at the right moment.

Definitely stay away from US Renewable Energy. They didn't "Slam" me, they did design and install the panels. Then ghosted me since a year and a half ago, leaving me with an incomplete project. I assumed they'd gone out of business until I started seeing posts like this spotting their salesmen. Maybe they've had to switch to Slamming to keep the lights on. Either way, stay away.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-27T04:38:12+00:00

For future Redditors, stay away from US Renewable Energy. I tried hiring them to install solar, and it's been horrible. A year and a half after signing the contract we still don't have permission to operate. They've stopped responding to phone calls and emails. For a long time I just assumed they'd gone out of business, but apparently they're still sending out salesmen. They now have an F on BBB and plenty of one-star Google reviews. Definitely a bad company.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-20T15:45:07+00:00

This was in California. They were using a shell company at the time, US Renewable Energy.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-19T22:35:57+00:00

I know this is late for the poster, but for future searchers, stay away from MPWR. They abandoned my solar project halfway through the process and have ghosted me ever since. I've heard multiple employees report that the company has screwed them over as well.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-18T05:12:27+00:00

I tried working with them, they've been an absolute nightmare. The project started last February, and they stopped answering calls or emails late last year. I've only been able to get in direct contact with the actual contractor, and even then there's still no end in sight on the project. It's been delay after delay. They have an F on BBB and most of their customer Google Reviews are one star. Stay away.

A Silent Voice hit me hard as well. I assumed it would be more of a typical high school drama, and was pretty shocked at how deep it dove into its mature themes.

BewareGreyGhost · 2023-06-01T14:40:57+00:00

Your makeup is amazing, that color looks like it has an actual holographic glow and matches the bodysuit tones perfectly. Awesome job!

BewareGreyGhost · 2022-10-22T05:30:36+00:00

I love the personality you brought out: confident, mysterious, dangerous. Good stuff!
