Also, his sideburns in the scene at the house at the end, and the diner, show a distinct dark line where they are glued on. I thought that was sloppy and not needed - it was a cheap trick with brush on makeup to hide a glue line. If they had used a lighter color and feathered it on with a secondary darker color it would have been invisible. Sorry, I got stellar grades in makeup class when I was an acting student in college.
Haha. I didn't notice any of that. Now that's all I'm going to see the next time I see it. The only thing that really bothered me was the padding they gave Jake's gut for him when he was in thirties. Oh, it bugged the **** out of me. Especially the way they had him stand with his jacket open, hands on hips, to show it off. It just looked like he had a parlor pillow stuffed down his shirt.

Also, I have to say something about Linda Cardellini. I thought she was pretty great in it. She didn't have much to do, but she did a fantastic job with what she had to work with. I particularly liked the scene between her and Ennis' daughter, Junior. That look on her face when she's told she's "good enough" was brilliant. You could tell that comment pierced through her like a knife at first.
