ITT, Suu shits her hate about Hollywood costuming.

Please list a period movie, and Suu will void her bowels upon it.


Ready?  Go!

It's really hard to screw up decent Regency garb. I haven't seen it in a while so it's hard to judge.

The Lion in Winter

Clothing in the 1100s was relatively shapeless. But they failed even more by giving it shape and no shape at the same time. Plus, that white scarf thing scares me.

Orlando

Dangerous Beauty

Accurate (even down to the partlets for Veronica and Paola) for almost anyone but the courtesans. I have no idea where they pulled that shit from. The women's clothing was heavily based on Eleanor of Toledo's gowns, and sometimes the overuse of leather on the men bother me. But I get over it. The movie is awesome.

Orlando

I actually have yet to see this one. I really want to because I've heard good things.

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

[Suu]

Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Better than the first one! But still a lot of WTFs.



WTF IS THIS?! HOLY FUCKING SHIT. GOOD GOD NOT ONLY WAS THAT COLOR BLUE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DIE, EVEN FOR THE LATE 1500S SHE WOULD HAVE HAD SLEEVES. THIS IS ENGLAND! NOT FUCKING VENICE. VENICE GOT AWAY WITH COSTUME MURDER!!! ENGLAND WAS FUCKING COLD! SLEEVES! NOT ORGANZA!

Look at the lack of rigidity in that bodice? Where is her corset? How is her dress buckling like that? It shouldn't be happening. She should have a piece of wood shoved down the front of her body to keep it flat and straight. Gah. That's gross.

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

ERROR: Fantasy situation. Does not compute.



It looks like the 80s threw up on Tina Turner though. Oh wait...

I concur. I particularly thought the one dress worn by the protagonist that showed her mens breeches underneath was probably on the far side of unlikely... sure they wore boys underwear, but they didn't walk around with them hanging out.

On the upside, that costume inspired Sjaantze's first fencing garb. She walked into the lists, paused, untied the bow on her skirt which became a soft parry and she was in her "undies" (codpiece and all).  

She won a couple tournaments like that.
