Let the hideous 1980s hair and glasses die already!


There's a reason we dumped those ugly coifs after the early 90s! I never thought it was possible to ugly up Jessica Biel or make that other lady look like she's wearing a helmet instead of hair. And those glasses, ugh! We dumped the ugly, bug-eyed, bubble glasses after the 90s for a reason! I can't stand those things!

haha totally agree, after 4 episodes i think the show is quite ok but damn making Jessica Biel so ugly makes it hard for me to stare at her while she's on screen lol , they could have made her 70's style but not that excessive

HAHA...YOU ONLY LIKE PRETTY LADIES...GOOD JOKE.

The sad part is, the characters are modeled on what their real-life counterparts looked like! Yuck!

reply

So now you're telling us that the reason they are wearing clothes, glasses and hairstyles that had been ditched in the nineties.... is because it's accurate to those characters and the way they looked in the 1980s,.... when the thing is set.....

Wow!

Your OP now sounds even more moronic than it already is.

I presume that some '80s styles are just a retro theme of the '50s/'60s, and so on.

Even "MOM JEANS" is just [beech] pants styled from the '50s.

The hair styles of the 1980s were probably the worst of the entire twentieth century.

Don't forget the clothes. That weird light blue romper that Pat was wearing at the BBQ looked god awful.

That aside, does anyone think "Candy" is worth watching?

reply

I watched about an hour of "Candy" today. That was enough as it didn't grab me. I have to say though, calling it hideous 80s hair and glasses isn't accurate. Everything I saw reeked of the 1970s. I was a little boy in the 70s - that's exactly how women looked. It's exactly how houses looked. I didn't see anything that reminded me of the 1980s.

It's mostly set in the 70s. The murder took place in 1980 and they go back 2 years to the start of the affair.

It's only a matter of time before it comes back.

I'm already seeing the poofy sleeves and ruffled collars.

It's hilarious.
