Looks like a Zardoz level flustercluck.

In response to someone who couldn't believe I knew of, let alone had seen, Zardoz, I said, "Heck, I'm going as Zardoz for Halloween."

Now there's a group costume in the works, with a friend making a Big Stone Head.

Odds of everyone thinking I'm going as "Vampirella FAIL" are pretty good.

OK, the above is downright hilarious and awesome, but how could you go as Zardoz AND your costume be "Vampirella FAIL" when Zardoz was the big giant head?

Now if you're going as Zed, that would be another story. And I think we'd ALL want pictures.

I finally saw Inglourious Basterds. I like Strega's earlier description of "a series of tense conversations, punctuated by bursts of violence." I liked a lot about the movie, but I'm not sure I like it as a complete movie. It felt like two movies, neither of which reached its full potential, rather than one great movie.

I am a Tarantino fan, and I love that his movies are so unconventional (I haven't seen Jackie Brown ). But I don't think this was his best work.

I haven't seen Jackie Brown

You definitely should. In a lot of ways, its a very sad movie, but it's also hilarious in a lot of places.

DH and I watched Bottle Shock last night and it was cute! Loved Alan Rickman and Eliza Dushku.

We saw it last week too! Not the greatest movie ever, but wonderful for a night in. Sweet story, and yes Rickman is awesome in it.

I'm pretty sure I've fucked with my Queue lately, so I have no idea what we're getting next.

Just checked and it looks like Brothers Bloom, Waltz with Bashir, and Monsoon Wedding.

Also, that reminds me, I will be writing another thing to go up in a place. Worked on it a bit Friday, but I think I get off topic, or at least I'm not sticking to what I start off writing about.

Anyone have any opinions about fashion in movies? The first thing that came to my mind was the LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

There's a Paul Newman/Joanne Woodward movie from the early sixties about a fashion editor in Paris (with the requisite fashion show in the middle of the plot).

Some time in the sixties, largely because of Givenchy's relationship with Audrey Hepburn, there was a movement away from studio costume designs (Edith Head, Gowns by Adrian) and to name designers. The spy movie I just tivoed, Dandy in Aspic, notes that Mia Farrow's clothes are by Pierre Cardin.

Though there's still also the reverse trend where a movie influences fashion, notably the twenties inspired clothes that came in the wake of Bonnie & Clyde, and the anti-fashion, thrift shop chic of Annie Hall.

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking, though where I get off track is talking about me personally (Breakfast at Tiffany's, Pretty in Pink, Reality Bites) and in general (though I personally was not influenced by Annie Hall or Bonnie and Clyde, I know that "people" were).

Eh. Now that I look at some of D's posts, I see that he mixes a bit of the two also. So maybe it's fine, and I'm over thinking.

The Matrix simultaneously borrowed a lot from goth/industrial club fashions AND inspired those same subcultures. You saw a lot more people wearing cassock-style trench coats and a lot more pvc.

Zoolander is one big fashion in-joke, down to Mila last-name-I-can't-spell (she played the evil henchwoman); her entire wardrobe in the movie was reproductions of Thierry Mugler couture designs.
