Are period dramas being RUINED by cosmetic surgery? Viewers of 10 Pound Poms and Bridgerton say they're 'struggling to enjoy the series' and are 'distracted' by obvious modern day beauty - like fillers and microblading

Nope, DVD is lowly SD.

SD = 480p

HD = 720p

FHD = 1280p

UHD = 2160p

Yup,a few months ago I picked up an excellent LG OLED. Watching those BBC nature videos discs (yo which I’m addicted) the giraffes are actually in the living room with you.

Thinking you are neglecting the possability of narcisistic, woke actor AI s becoming vapid yet hyper effective and near omnicient celebrity activists - ie Hell on Earth

[Gay State Conservative]

BTW...”viable” should have been “visible”.

[Tax-chick]

That could explain it ... there’s a definite Area 51 or Roswell vibe.

It’s almost impossible to recreate a truly authentic period piece. Comparing old movies and videos with recent ones demonstrates this. One value of old movies is seeing how things actually were.

Back in the sixties when they did ww2 movies they made no effort AT ALL in the matter of hair and clothes, in most movies.

[Persevero]

They should mostly have bad teeth, no makeup, and hairy legs and underarms.

Nope, they are all quite 21st century groomed!!

[mewzilla]

It’s not just the hair and makeup.

The writing is far worse.

Thank God for books and/or DVDs.

[mewzilla]

Outlander does a good job at authentic.

Unfortunately they stopped caring about what book fans wanted.

The writing is why I gave up on the series.

The books are fantastic.

Pretty sure she is a human-alien hybrid.

Not quite, but close.

I like old westerns like 'The Big Trail' with 23-year-old John Wayne in his first leading man role, the wagon train really has the look of authenticity.

"Breck Coleman leads hundreds of settlers in covered wagons from the Mississippi River to their destiny out West."

I thought this article was about menstruation. The question was it in men or women.

I felt the same way about Vivien Leigh's 1940s hairstyle in Gone with the Wind:

Her hair was puffed back at the upper temples, like all the WW2 calendar girls. And it was shampooed. Most of the daguerrotype photos of the actual Civil War era show the women's hair slicked down from the center part to cover the ears, either by natural oils because shampooing was seldom (and did not use modern softeners or emollients), or by pomades to disguise the rank smell of hair unwashed throughout the winter months.

Viv has had her eyebrows plucked, and is wearing foundation, blusher, eye shadow, brow liner, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick.

[alternatives?]

Think of old films with 60 year old sheriffs with 20 year old beautiful wives.

[Tea Drinker]

She was wonderful in Emma and The Queen’s Gambit.

[dfwgator]

For a lot of actresses, period pieces are all they can do, because the clothing from that era will cover up all the Tats they have.

[doorgunner69]

“microblading”??

I am so out of touch with culture some things are just gibberish.

[Kartographer]

It’s getting worse now that ‘male’ actors are allowed to have ‘period pieces’.
