Sci-Fi/Fantasy movie or TV costumes - which would you like to wear
 
I was thinking about some of the sic-fi movies (and TV series) and I thought about the costumes. Some of them are just slightly stylized versions of what we wear or wore (medieval). Some films (Fifth Element) really push the edge on costumes.

So what costume have you seen onscreen that you would like to own and wear, and not just for Halloween.

I read a story about a kid who wore a Battlestar Galactica jacket. That sounded good.

I thought the hat from Wing Commander would be nice for winter. Alright, it looks slightly dorky, but so does any watch cap.

I never wanted the typical Princess Leia's slave girl costume - wouldn't suit my figure even when honed and toned. But I loved Padme Amidala's formal robes in Episode 1. There was something of the geisha about them despite the fact they were modest and inflexible. I would like to have something that outre, which still acts as a kind of armour between me and the rest of the world.

But if we're talking "What would you like to own" it would have to be a Wonder Woman costume. I'd tie men up with my lasso of truth and take advantage of them. What? I'm not a goodie, I'm just dressed like one.

WTF is that from?

Flint 12-25-2007 10:07 PM

Zardoz! And yeah, that's Sean Connery.

Clodfobble 12-25-2007 10:09 PM

Zardoz.

What's really amazing is he did this movie in the middle of his Bond career, it's not like he was hurting for acting jobs by that point.

Flint 12-25-2007 10:12 PM

WTF are you trying to imply? This was the highlight of his, or any other, career. The best movie ever made.

if i was thin and dark haired, I'd totally go for the Neo look from the Matrix.......he's bad ass.

For practicability as sci-fi uniform wear, it's a tossup between the red jacket suits of the second Star Trek movie and the gritty-macho look of the new Battlestar Galactica.

Sci-fi paperback cover art used to have an endless reiteration of doublets-and-jackboots-and-hose, oh my. I got bored with looking at it, but as garb it may actually be practical and comfortable.

Nobody knows why Zardoz happened, but might one suspect pervy studio suits?

For something forgiving for many figure types, how about the outfits in this thing? -- Girl Genius -- for outfits, read through some from the "Start" button. (Where do you go for bright green tweed?)
