Well, what are the odds that anyone inclined to do so will look like Billy Crudup?
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ah. The essential ComicCon flaw.

Yeah. I'd have been more ethused about the popularity of 300 a couple years ago if more of its convention-going fans had the abs for the costumes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Steph posted this in COMM already, but I think Matt's comment needs to be added.
I barked laughter out loud after reading it.

I've been trying to get a group to go as the Watchmen for Halloween for years, but no one will consent to being Dr. Manhattan. At least not while sober, and Dr. Manhatten passed out drunk on the sofa and only blue on the visible parts just isn't right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or as Funeral-Going-To!Dr. Manhattan, with a wet suit!
Plus he did have a costume, back in the day. He just decided to stop wearing it at some point.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
just make sure it is a good costume, because bad ones make you look like you are in the Blue Man Group.

I was sort of thinking about the black wrestling singlet.
Actually the amount of clothing was a recent fight at work - the guy who introduced me to Watchmen lo these many years ago is preparing for the movie to suck, and one of his complaints is that in a teaser, Dr. M is wearing small pants.
So we had to go to the book and determine that he loses his clothes as he loses his humanity.

I wonder if that could be a pickup line: "Hey baby, wanna come back to my place... and lose your humanity?"
It's safe to say I've never invented a good pickup line....
