This episode was straight fyre
First episode I saw of the series too. Was almost a let down realizing few would be able to live up to that episode.
Still my favourite honestly. I saw OP's picture and was like "could this photo have inspired Zima blue?!"
The Very Pulse of the Machine is one of my favorites. Zima Blue is excellent as well.
Oh yeah, definitely, that one too!
Zima blue?
What series is this?
Love Death Robots
Ep. Zima Blue
That was the closest LDR got to Animatrix’s level.
First thing I thought of when I saw the meme.
She and Dolph were quite a striking pair.
If they ever had a kid he could have cracked the Brooklyn Bridge in two with his jaw
And the child's body could have naturally produced cocaine.
Grace is one of a kind, such a fantastic artist. Her cover to "Island Life" is one of the greatest album covers ever, has been on my wall for years.
Awesome, a pre Photoshop edit iirc
the album cover
she's so badass
She was cool as hell in that one 007 film
Yes! A View To A Kill! Christopher Walken also makes for an excellent Bond villain. Probably one of the most underrated Bond films imo. Lots of great scenes in that one. Also the least “Bond Girl” of them all.
I never noticed she had such severe exotropia.
Had to look that one up. Strabismus (lazy eye) where one eye points out.
So it's pretty well known by this point that Star Trek is my major hyperfixation but James Bond is dangerously close behind it. A View To a Kill? My favorite movie. Funnily enough, Roger Moore's least favorite. Dude wasn't a big fan of guns or violence, especially after a gun exploded in his face when he was a kid. Because of all the added violence in A View to a Kill it put him off a bit.
Also he was 57 and Tanya Roberts was in her 20s - an age difference so stark it made even Roger Moore feel gross.
Just fyi, when you type "even Roger Moore" you make it sound like he was normally into younger women. In reality he found it disgusting to be cast against girls who were "young enough to be his grand daughters".
He was older than she dad iirc
Smoking looks like shit no matter what. But she looks cool otherwise.
Looks like they added the sigaret after, to me...
Cpelling
Comeone needs a spell?
Grace Jones has serious screen presence. I knew her first as Zula from Conan the Destroyer.
I sadly only know her from Hell A Cyberpunk Thriller
How much of that is in-camera?
Early photographic treatments had terrible response for longer wavelengths, which is why wrinkles looked fucking awful. It lost all the subsurface scattering that makes skin soft. Basically you got the blue channel from any modern color photograph. I suspect that effect could work in color, in 1981, with some goofy color balance and incorrect lighting... but I'm not certain. I know color photos made black subjects look dark as hell until wooden furniture catalogs forced Kodak to develop a better formulation. I don't think the typical effect was quite so... onyx.
The effect could also be thrown by the color of the jacket and the wall. They look black and beige, respectively, but the jacket could be burgundy and get lost in a blue gel filter. Maybe only the red of her lips is touched-up.
It’s a black and white photo colourised by hand.
Well that's fucking boring.
Good job on the color grading in what are technically the midtones, but come on, I wanted this to somehow be real light hitting this badass bitch.
1981
Yeah, those shoulder pads track. And the cigarette, too.
Just missing enough hairspray to punch a hole through the ozone layer.
That flattop tho
Here's Grace Jones utterly unable to control herself while comedian Micky Flanagan talks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwkRoGhe-RI
What a ride, thanks for sharing
I am playing DnD right now (during an insanely tense boss fight, thus the distraction so I don't cry because I am effectively out of it anyway due to overpowered spells that I can't complain about because they exist) but I am itching to watch this and saving it immediately...
Also I made a meme earlier about ADHD people using brackets all the time. Shoot me.
let me be square with you ....
Does it count as black face if you're already black?
When you get fuck by a Salamander Astartes and it rubs on.
Just needs the imbedded lenses and she'd would've been an amazing Molly Millions.
Saw her play a few years back and she can hula hoop through the entirety of Slave To The Rhythm like a champ.
Not to mention she was in her sixties at the time. if your talking about the royal command performance. Also performed a whole set naked around that time.
