The Best Costume Guy Strikes Again, Arrested Development Style

thumbnail: The Best Costume Guy Strikes Again, Arrested Development Style

(Yes, Halloween was over a week ago, but a lot of things happened in the world.) So, on the day before H'ween, I posted what I think is the best movie-based costume ever -- a papier mache re-creation of Lloyd Dobler's classic Say Anything scene, by a guy named Jon from Toronto, and suggested that if somehow he saw this he should send in this year's costume. Well he did, and he did, and it's another work of pop-culture-costuming art:

The Best Movie-Based Costume I've Ever Seen

thumbnail: The Best Movie-Based Costume I've Ever Seen

All this "tomorrow is Halloween" stuff keeps reminding me of the best movie (or pop culture) costume I've ever seen, the creator of which sent it in last year to my personal blog before Videogum existed. So I have to share it. I love this guy's dedication. It's something many of us have probably thought of doing, but this guy went all the way. This guy wins:

Spock Lifted Ennis Del Mar's Shirt Over His Head. "Beam Me Down, Scotty," He Said.

There's a small news item on IMDB today about the trouble Annie Proulx has gotten from Brokeback Mountain fans over the years. Good to see someone finally followed up on that one:

[Annie Proulx] says, "There are countless people out there who think the story is open range to explore their fantasies and to correct what they see as an unbearably disappointing story. They constantly send ghastly manuscripts and pornish rewrites of the story to me, expecting me to reply with praise and applause for 'fixing' the story. They certainly don't get the message that if you can't fix it, you've got to stand it.

Haha. Sending Annie Proulx erotic Brokeback Mountain fan fiction is great. "Dear Ms. Proulx, I know you've been having a lot of trouble finishing that short story that's already appeared in the New Yorker, a best-selling book, and adapted into a movie, but I've got it all worked out in this 45 page, single spaced, double sided document. Let's just say that the ending might fistprise you." But also WHOOPS on Annie Proulx for using a line from her own story as some smirky lesson about how you're not supposed to send authors alternate erotic endings. "They certainly didn't get the message that I wish I knew how to quit them." Also, "they didn't get the message that you guys wasn't gettin' paid to leave the dogs babysittin' the sheep while you stem the rose."

Before sending Annie Proulx your own alternate erotic ending to Brokeback Mountain please first consider Fan Fiction Pro Tips for the Professional Fan.

Fan Art: Movie Family Portraits

This artist Kirk Demarais paints family portraits of movie families. I applaud his decision not to say the names of the movies, it's more fun that way. This is the only one that took me a while to figure out:

(Via Neatorama, whose commenters, uh, don't really get it.)
