| | Alas, I've seen all but "The New Doctor" in the latest Doctor Who incarnation. I'm sad, and forlornly working my way through whatever Watch Instantly videos they have until they start cranking out new ones. Just now, I started watching "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" with iconic Tom Baker at the helm. Imagine my angst when the prominent villain of the peice is played via yellow face. I haven't yet come to peace with the accepted convention of utilizing yellow face on film, and I'm not sure if I ever will. Weng-Chiang's heavy makeup, monotoned voice, sexualized criminality (missing young women--WHITE women), and creepy theater show are textbook yellow face staples of that time period, I suppose. Ick. |
