"I personally like a moisturizing fuller-coverage concealer, as it can be sheered down or built up depending on your concerns," says Sesnek. Like foundation, concealers offer different finishes, including matte, radiant, natural, and soft, as well as varying levels of coverage (sheer, medium, and full). For instance, if you have olive skin, your foundation might have neutral undertones, while your concealer may have peach undertones to correct for dark circles.

Colorful and alluring, the posters are rife with headless figures, floating cards, crystal balls and big promises.

Posters were key to enticing audiences to his productions they often show the magician conversing with devilish figures, as if in league with them-a promotional ploy that proved irresistible to Victorian audiences. He staged big, lavish shows, during which fans might see him make live canaries disappear, or even decapitate himself. Though his name has been all but forgotten, Kellar was once a pioneering showman and global star. Two rows of little red devils bow at the magician’s feet, as though supplicating a supreme figure of dark and mysterious powers. The illustrated poster depicts Kellar dressed in a stiff tuxedo with his hands held above a floating, raven-haired woman.

Shoup ended his 16:00 hours message to General Smith with the line, "Casualties: many.

On 31 January, the 2d Marines and the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, boarded ship to leave Guadalcanal. The 8th Marines was essentially pinched out of the front lines by a narrowing attack corridor as the inland mountains and hills pressed closer to the coastal trail. In the Marine attack zone, 600 Japanese were dead. On the 15th, the Americans, both Army and Marine, reached the initial corps objective. Naval gunfire support, spotted by naval officers ashore, improved measurably. The 2d Marines was now relieved and the 6th Marines moved into the attack along the coast while the 8th Marines took up the advance inland. In two days of heavy fighting, flamethrowers were employed for the first time and tanks were brought into play. Progress was slow despite massive artillery support and naval gunfire from four destroyers offshore. The Japanese, remnants of the Sendai Division, were dug into the sides of a series of cross compartments and their fire took the Marines in the flank as they advanced. All along the front of the advancing assault companies the going was rough. On 12 January, the Marines began their advance with the 8th Marines along the shore and 2d Marines inland.

At the extreme end of the fuselage were two more twin. ![]() ![]() The ball turret was aft of the radio operating equipment. The radio operator’s station was through this narrow passage. It helped to be small in stature to navigate these tight quarters. Located aft of the cockpit, the bomb bay was a narrow, cramped space for accessing the rear of the aircraft. A passageway under the cockpit floor allowed crew members to reach the flight deck as needed. 50-caliber machine guns in the top, or dorsal, turret. Directly behind the flight deck were two, twin. The pilot typically manned the controls while the co-pilot operated landing gears, engines and firing controls. Twin yokes allowed the pilots to operate and control the aircraft. Inside the B-17 Flight DeckĪbove and behind the nose of the B-17, two officers occupied the flight deck-the pilot on the left and the copilot on the right. The most vulnerable aspect of the B-17 was a head-on attack, and many bombardiers and navigators were lost in missions. 50-caliber machine guns out of the nose, one for each officer, plus a remote device for the machine guns on the chin turret. The navigator sat at a mounted table just behind the bombardier, where he laid out charts and maps to navigate the best course. The bombardier perched at the extreme front end, protected only by a Plexiglas window. Two officers occupied the nose of the B-17. Lack of armor plating on the B-17 meant crews were also at risk from ground explosions which could penetrate the aircraft. Each gun could fire about 700 rounds per minute. 50-caliber machine guns for the waist gunner to defend the aircraft against side attacks. The main cabin was unarmored and outfitted with two, twin. The crew also required oxygen above 15,000 feet and oxygen tanks were located throughout the aircraft. Outlets in the sides of the aircraft allowed the crew to plug in electric suits to stay warm. Flying at altitudes above 27,000 feet meant it got very cold in the aircraft, often below freezing temperatures. The main cabin was barely tall enough for the crew to stand up straight. Crews of 10-a pilot and copilot, bombardier, navigator, radio operator and five gunners-occupied the small cabin for six to eight hours per mission. The first thing you’ll notice when peeking inside a B-17 is that it was built for combat, not comfort. There were two machine guns in the main cabin, operated by the waist gunner, in addition to several more throughout the aircraft. 50-caliper mounted machine guns, and is capable of carrying up to a 6,000-pound bomb load in a single mission. The Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) is also pretty important, though, as it not only shows the route, but it also allows B-2 pilots to keep an eye on friendly and enemy aircraft nearby, as well as relevant radar information.Built for strategic daylight bombing, the four-engine, heavy bomber B-17 is equipped with 13 Browning M-2. It's aircraft orientation (attitude), altitude, airspeed, heading, and angle of attack all on a single screen. The VSD consolidates all the standard flight instruments into a single display. When it comes to priorities in flight, they are aviate, navigate, and communicate - in that order. "The VSD gives the pilot all the info they need to regain situational awareness and fly the jet." "The B-2 is the smoothest ride in the sky with a capable autopilot," the pilot explained, telling BI that younger pilots sometimes forget about flying the aircraft when they have their heads down performing other tasks. We asked a B-2 bomber pilot what the most important display is, and the answer was the Vertical Situation Display (VSD).

We had a moment in time with the biggest star in the world who was onboard, and it was written so beautifully for Arnold. It’s a marathon.ĭC: I wonder what the numbers are of comedy movies written, with people going all out on a script, that become actual movies? 100 to 1? 200 to 1? There’s a lot of reasons to not make it, and maybe only one propelling reason to make it. Then you’ve gotta sell it, and then you’ve gotta get a distributor and cast it. It always amazes me that it’s so hard to write a screenplay, and once you finish it, that’s only half the battle. KN: We wanted to get the script out there. They were hiding behind this curtain, and this was a very flimsy kind of disguise, just like their defensiveness. They weren’t strong, and they were hiding. KN: I didn’t think so, because they couldn’t pick anything up. ![]() That was my internal logic, but it could have gone either way. RS: I was wondering that, because in my mind they always had muscles, and the joke was that it was just a ridiculous costume for SNL.ĭC: I thought they had muscles. Let me ask you a question, fellas: Did we ever, for our own internal logic, decide that they literally had no muscles and they were stuffing the sweatsuits? I started doing the cocky little guy later on because of that. Another thing that we probably didn’t anticipate visually is Kevin is bigger and taller than me, so it was like Batman and Robin. But Kevin and I always want to make ourselves laugh, and Kevin had his own character and a really funny rhythm to it. I was probably showboating a bit, as I do. KN: Your Hans slowly became almost a little effeminate.ĭC: I didn’t want to think of him as effeminate, but the taunting, and the joy of the taunting, got so extreme, and he was so sure he was outwitting some of these people.ĭC: “Yah! How can you stand it when you see our muscles and you don’t have muscles?” Sometimes I get bored and extrapolate things. But after a while, we’d say, “We want to pump,” and the audience would clap with us. We did have a lot going for us, but it didn’t land that hard. I remember that distinctly.ĭC: The gap teeth. Lorne gave it a shot, but he put it on at the very end of the show. It must have done well enough, and they had a lot of confidence in you guys by then to deliver it. Smigel would come in later on and riff with us. We could have done it all night, right, Dana?ĭana Carvey: We would do it for hours. We established an outline, and we were just kind of riffing on it and cracking up. I don’t remember specifically pitching it, but Dana and I went back to our office we were sharing and threw ideas around. Kevin Nealon: It was like any other sketch. Also, they do a lot of voices! Read some excerpts from the interview below, or listen to the full episode of Good One wherever you get your podcasts. On Good One, Carvey, Nealon, and Smigel talk about how the characters were born, how the movie was written, and what it was like revisiting the project. Until now! Carvey, Nealon, Schwarzenegger (voiced by Smigel), and O’Brien have reunited to read scenes from the previously lost-to-time screenplay, and you can listen to “The Lost Hans & Franz Movie” episodes on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend when the series drops on May 17. But once Schwarzenegger backed out, the project fell apart, and the movie became just something the four writers would bring up occasionally in interviews and on each other’s podcasts. The result was Hans & Franz: The Girlyman Dilemma, a road-trip comedy/show-business satire/musical starring the duo and Schwarzenegger himself. The frequency of their appearances and placement in the show - Hans and Franz often showed up during cold opens - is incredible by today’s standards, in which big characters might appear only a few times over the course of a cast member’s entire run on the show and, increasingly, on “Weekend Update.” So, after a few years on the show, Carvey and Nealon decided it was time to take Hans and Franz to Hollywood, and they wrote a movie with the help of Robert Smigel and Conan O’Brien. ![]() In the late ’80s, Hans and Franz, Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon’s muscle-bound cousins of Arnold Schwarzenegger, were an SNL sensation. ![]() ![]() ![]()
