Jim Carrey Offered to Return $20 Million ‘Grinch’ Payday and Quit the Movie Amid ‘Panic Attacks’ Over Makeup; A Man ‘Who Trained the Military on Enduring Torture’ Was Hired to Help

Not only will this now accelerate, any fresh IP will get the dreaded production interference with MAGA themes
The name "Enterprise" was from the start a right wing capitulation to avoid a moral panic over space communism and a diverse crew.

It takes hours and hours to put it on, and take it off. And then theres 10 hours of acting in between.
I would have panic attacks too
As an aside. The guy who played Pinhead was in so many things as Pinhead he learned how to do the makeup himself.

This was a very interesting read. This was my favorite tidbit.
“There was a popular movie website at the time, Ain’t It Cool News, and the guy who ran it was a fan of my work, and I contacted him,” Baker continued. “I said, ‘Listen, Universal wants to paint Jim Carrey green. I feel it’s a major mistake. I did a test on myself of what I think it should look like. Can you somehow say that you saw this test and that Universal is making a major mistake and they don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about?’ And he did. And it was outrageous responses from everybody. ‘What the hell is wrong with these people at Universal? I don’t want to see green Jim Carrey. I want to see a Grinch!’ Blah, blah, blah. So they finally caved in.”
Wow, I had completely forgotten about Ain't It Cool News. It's still running.

Honestly yeah. Like SkyHigh, ClockStoppers, Futureman
Ah, so you only like movies and shows with penis fight scenes

Acting in makeup does not seem as easy as one’s ability to act without makeup. There have been stories of people on Star Trek for example, whom had terrible experiences. Some wanted to quit, others had bad skin reactions.
There's makeup, and then there's having carpet laid on your face.

Jennifer Lawrence gets a lot of shit for not being blue much after the first movie she was in but she also had a really bad reaction to the makeup
That's why they killed off Z'an on Farscape, the blue makeup was apparently harming Virginia Hey's kidneys so she had to quit the role.

What about her house and car?
It was all yellow

The dude who created SEAL Team 6 helped Carrey endure the Grinch make-up is a wild tidbit to bury way so deep in an article like this

Even in 2000, I feel like they should have been able to compromise, e.g. by doing his sclera and covering up breathing holes on the computer, but still having the rest be makeup, prosthetics and a costume.
The article says they offered to color Carrey's eyes green with CGI but he opted for the painful contact lenses anyway.

Oh neat. I never knew. Not super into superhero movies.
I did not know who we were talking about until he said mystique
Okay so the blonde actress is Jennifer Lawrence that’s cool I like her role in the movies for the X-men at least other movies I’m sure too I’m sure acting with Professor x and magneto has taught her a lot

Fun fact: How the Grinch stole Christmas is one of three Christmas movies in history to win an Academy Award, and did so for Best makeup.

Rebecca Romijn played mystique first, before the role she currently has, of Una, in star trek strange new worlds. She did it best.
