Probably OT but

In cinema theory, Laura Mulvey identifies the male gaze, in sympathy with the Lacanian statement that "Woman is a symptom of man." This means that femininity is a social construct, and that the feminine object, or the object of desire, is what constitutes the male lack, and thus his positive identity.

,,,

From the male perspective, man possesses a gaze because he is a man, whereas, a woman has a gaze only when she assumes the male gazer role, when she objectifies others by gazing at them like a man.

Where do the young women that viciously attack their sisters for their loser attributes get these attitudes from, besides media is at home.  They learn their prejudices on the knees of their parents.  We ARE NOT BORN WITH PREJUDICES, we are taught them.

Sorry, but I too am very upset about those kinds of attitudes.

ETA for grammer.

@Jerron–they shoot scenes out of sequence all the time, but that's what those little clapperboards are for. They snap them in front of the camera at the beginning of filming each scene, and it tells them which scene it is, the date, camera op, etc etc. They have several fail-safe methods to insure continuity, including script supervisors, PA's, on and on. They, including the make-up people, know what they're supposed to be doing for each and every sequence that is shot, no matter how far apart the filming may occur.

 

I'm sure AP has control of certain things about her character, particularly having to do with what she considers her good health, but eyebrow inconsistency wouldn't be one of them. Them wobbling back and forth between pale and dark is too frequent and extreme to have anything to do with her personal preferences, and too much of a pattern for it to be regarded as a problem with continuity.

*nods*

All film is shot out of sequence, but you don't usually notice the frequent jarring differences in make-up/sets as you do in TB (there are, naturally, always going to be whoopsies, but they are occasional things, outliers, not something that happens every other episode). If you start half-assing stuff in Hollywood, its noticed and not exactly tolerated.

I wouldn't lick an egg everyone else licked. That's gross. And also some people can't wear contacts, or find them irritating. She bleached her hair blonde and got a fake tan (neither of which I think she likes), so she's obviously willing to alter her looks for a role.

More lash shenanigans:

In Hitting the Ground opening sequence (where she stakes Lorena), Sookie has the doll lashes. But when we return to the action after the title sequence, her doll-lashes are gone (and stay gone until she comes home from the hospital).

Interestingly, there is a new tchotchke waiting for her when she gets home, a glass-and-brass vase that looks vaguely like a hookah on the little corner table by that lamp/chair combo that's always bothered me (it's voyeuristic in a way I can't explain, it's like somebody is watching the room). The screencap is from Everything is Broken, but the vase is there when Sookie is huddled up on the couch with Alcide in ANOTS. A plain small silver vase was there previously.

On one of the bluray's commentaries the filming sequence was discussed.  Sorry, I can't remember who was doing the commentary.  The conversation was about how each episode has a different director, but the director of the next episode may drop in to film a future scene for his episode.  The conversation implied that this method is used for the beginning and ending scenes because they overlap.

That makes sense. There's no reason why the director for episode 6 wouldn't want to stay consistent with the end of episode 5/opening sequence of episode 6. In fact, I think it would make them more conscious about consistency. And even still, the director is not responsible for the application of Sookie's eyelashes. That would still fall under the purview of the make-up artist.

And I read online TB loses its regular makeup artists halfway through shooting to Mad Men? Is that right? Not that I can blame all the inconsistencies on that, since the replacement artists would still have photographs to work with.
