No production assistant or AD would ever, ever take an extra straight to the director to ask, "Where should this background go?" Maybe she's oversimplifying the story to make it more interview-friendly, but as described, that shit just doesn't happen.

In fairness, everybody looks hot when they're emaciated and covered in vomit.

Damn! Damn! Damn!

J.J. Abrams is non-ferrous.

Don't you remember the boarding school scene where they made Welles look seven years old? That was damn convincing!

The dingo took my baby!

Hanks had a bad habit of swelling up in-between movies during the 90s, but then getting back in shape for his films. When you get to a certain age, you can't get away with that any more because your skin doesn't snap back into place like it once did.

Ironically, the makeup used to make Welles look younger was considerably more effective than his aging makeup. Which Welles grew to rue in the decades to come since it made his real aged, fat self look even worse by comparison.

All of the aging makeup in "The Deadly Years" episode of Star Trek:TOS turned out to be way off. James Doohan, especially.

It's one of those movies that almost stands on its visual effects alone. If I remember correctly, the only computer-generated effect in the entire movie was the shark in the Jaws ad, which was deliberately designed to look computer generated.

Not surprising given the fact that they realized "something's wrong with your kids" wasn't going to hold up the plot of an entire movie and had to figure out a way to move the story elsewhere. And they lost one of their main actors. And evidently Christopher Lloyd didn't want to wear prosthetic makeup anymore.

He was getting warmed up for life as an honorary Kennedy.

No, but I think Bruce Springsteen does.
