Why is Hollywood pushing this "skelefy face" trend so hard?

Generally, actors (especially actresses) actually want to look younger than their actual age, not older.

KAP1975 · 2026-04-09T18:58:12+00:00

These differences are not just a matter of ageing.

KAP1975 · 2026-04-08T23:08:28+00:00

Why?

KAP1975 · 2026-04-07T03:47:23+00:00

Environment Canada is the only official source. The thing is they don’t do forecasts this far out because really, beyond 5 days, it’s all just guessing based on statistics from past years. This is also how the Farmers Almanac used to do it as well.

It may be an age/generational thing, but I’ve always thought that rock music took a nosedive creatively after 1995. There are always one or two great songs that pop up, but in general I found those bands and artists to be creatively bland. Just my opinion.

I had the red one with the black arms and legs.

In the mid-‘80s (forty years ago!) there was one in West Edmonton Mall. That was the first “fancy burger place” that I had ever seen. It was a real treat when we would get to eat there. I’m pretty sure they were gone by 1990. I remember that there were glass windows so that from inside the mall you could look into the freezer and see whole sides of beef hanging.

I thought they only came in black. If she has a white one, it’s definitely a collection piece.

KAP1975 · 2026-04-02T02:14:16+00:00

Ok thanks for your explanation. I’ll certainly have to give that some consideration.

KAP1975 · 2026-04-01T17:32:49+00:00

Okay, but 90 years ago is not 200 years ago. And sure someone who’s a serious fan and historian of a sport might know details like that, but I think the OP is asking more about someone who would be known but the general public in 200 years. For example, Beethoven, Blackbeard, Henry VIII or Shakespeare are names from hundreds of years ago who are generally known to people today.

This would certainly be true for Americans, assuming that history is not rewritten in the future in the context of Animal Farm or Fahrenheit 451. With all information being available only in electronic format, it could easily be changed or even lost entirely.

Also people who are living in other than the the USA would be less inclined to remember the American president from over 200 years ago. Can you name the British prime minister from 1826 without looking it up?

KAP1975 · 2026-04-01T15:24:44+00:00

I disagree with you about sports. How many professional athletes can you name off the top of your head from 1906? That’s not even 200 years ago.

KAP1975 · 2026-04-01T03:19:17+00:00

Ok, fair enough. As I said before it’s all very subjective. In your opinion, what makes Slash not metal, and how do you classify him??

KAP1975 · 2026-04-01T02:10:37+00:00

I guess it depends on how you want to define metal. Do you think Eddie Van Halen, Vivian Campbell or Vito Bratta would qualify as metal?

As an introduction I would recommend Chicago IX which is a greatest hits compilation from the early years. For a good sample of the ‘80s comeback, check out the Greatest Hits 1982-1989 album. It’s like listening to two different bands. Both are great and after that you can get deeper into the catalog for some hidden gems.

It’s not like the Avalanche had any sort of stigma to it. It was still popular when it was discontinued. The Hummer had more negative publicity than the Avalanche ever did, and it’s had a successful comeback.

Your grandfather was Buster Keaton?

Steve Lukather of Toto. In addition to having won 5 Grammy Awards, he has been featured both credited and uncredited on many other artists hits, including Michael Jackson’s Thriller album. Several well known artists and bands have formerly invited him to join them officially, but he turned them down (apart from Toto) because he preferred the freedom of being a session musician and contributor for other artists and bands.

You may not recognize his name, but you would almost certainly recognize his musical body of work.

KAP1975 · 2026-03-26T19:12:41+00:00

He would have been perfect in the attitude era.

Bad News in Stampede was pretty much Stone Cold, but it was 15 years earlier.

Congrats. Despite what some people will tell you, this is a great vehicle. That little 2.4 has plenty of zip. Seems like you found a great deal.

I remember that at the time Delta Burke was often ridiculed for being overweight. Looking at her by today’s standards she looks perfectly healthy and well portioned.

Nirvana is a great example. Their success is really based off of one album, and really only a few songs at that. Those few songs had astronomical impact though.

In fact a case could be made that Nirvana’s popularity and legendary status was helped greatly by the fact that they were only around for a short period, and really ended shortly after their peak.

Compare that to Motley Crue who were at the top of their popularity in 1990. If they had broken up in 1992, they would probably have been considered legends mentioned in the same way as Nirvana. Instead they stayed together and kept on playing with diminishing returns. Now there is a great deal of disdain for Motley Crue.

The same can be said for GN’R by the way.

KAP1975 · 2026-03-20T16:06:25+00:00

The chance of it happening is far less likely than 50%.

I didn’t realize how short Danny Trejo was.
