We’re learning more about the Batman the Dark Knight costume… Christian Bale seemed pretty angry about the tight structure of his costume:

“You couldn’t move your head, you were bolted in. It was a vice on my skull, so I had a headache the whole damn time.”

“I used it; Batman’s supposed to be full of anger and rage and I didn’t have to act that.”

Maybe he built up too much muscle mass and no one else was expecting that… Poor costume designers, I can’t imagine how much crap they got for that one!

Hancock came out this week end, already sparked $18.8 on Friday alone. The movie is expected to make over $100M in movie theater sales within the first 5 and half days, not bad at all, that would be the 12th movie for Will Smith to growth over $100M…wow.

Since this is a super hero and a really big blockbuster movie, the next thing we care about is getting the costume for Halloween! It pretty much happens for any BIG movie, like Indiana Jones for instance: the Indiana Jones costumes and accessories were finally launch several weeks back, on the other hand, we’re still very much awaiting for the Sweeney Todd costume to be available at the stores…

I have read some really weird news last week I wanted to circle back on, looks like costumes are become a lot more mainstream in the legal system

First, “Locals Dressed in Costumes Show Up To Court” (read more)

“It was an uncommon sight outside of Lackawana City Court Tuesday morning as some locals showed up dressed in animal costumes. They held signs and said they support Fred Grasso, the animal control officer being charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty, and that they believe he didn’t do it. “Fred is a good, kind gentleman,” one supporter said. “He looks out for everyone in the neighborhood here, we all love him, so we’re helping him out here.”…”

Ok boys, this was a nice creative way to show your support in a Winnie the Pooh and Tiger costumes, not sure if it had an impact inside the court room though.

Sad news, sad news.

I just learnt that Larry Harmon, alias Bozo the clown has passed away at the age of 83.

Bozo was originally created in 1946, Harmon wasn’t the original Bozo the Clown, but played the character in TV shows and in dozens of popular appearances.

Let’s celebrate the memory of these celebrities who have made an impact on our lives this upcoming Halloween 2008. Dress up as Bozo the Clown or The Joker in memory of Heath ledger.

Wearing a costume at any party can already require a lot of self control, they can be scratchy or uncomfortable, but it’s so fun that we pass that and enjoy it… until the 4th or 5th drink when you start removing parts of it

What about running a marathon in a costume? What about simply running a marathon? Is that not already incredibly difficult?

Well, some people like adding difficulty to challenges and they need to get credit for that! Check out the photo gallery here, it has a collection of marathon runners in costumes, such as the indiana jones costume, storm trooper or Borat…

Through an incredible and extremely smart partnership, AND viral (yeah I am blogging about it, so it works!) concept, Domino’s pizza launched a “Dark Knight’ Vault”, which showcases film clips, wallpapers, cast interviews and a brand-new trailer i grabbed just for your own eyes:

Ok, this has to end up on your Halloween party table, one way of the other! What if you would give your friends body parts to eat this Halloween? Well, not real ones, but made of bread.

Originally created by a Thailand Artist Kittiwat Unarrom, come on, this idea could easily become a business of its own here in the US! This is an extraordinary idea and I cannot believe we haven’t see this at the local Stop n Shop or Costco yet during Halloween… any takers?

Watch this video, it’s freaky, but really amazing:

I cam across a “Back to the Future” unofficial blog yesterday and found this post which is a review of homemade Marty McFly costumes and Doc Brown Costumes.

Although all the pictures received a lot of criticism, i have to say those 2 guys here did a pretty good job:

So of course, i then started to search around for Marty McFly and Doc Brown Costumes online and on CostumZee (duh!) and to my stupefaction, I could not find one!
