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

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.

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.

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.

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). :lulz:
She won a couple tournaments like that.

Bodice also always matched the dress. Always. No support in the dress (probably because Paltrow is too thin for it), inset attached sleeves. Fail. The girl behind her is wearing a dress that's 50 years out of date.

It's impossible to fuck up Revolutionary garb. There's too much of it still existing as well as patterns. Chances are though they cut some corners, not that I would want to run around in layers of wool and linen while filming either, mind you...

Oh yes, I know that... it was her split skirt which showed the undies which made it rather incredulous. Also, I love the courtesan platform shoes ;-)
What bothered me more was the fact that the skirt came OFF. That should be attached to the bodice. And the crinoline underneath it instead of a bum roll or hard cartridge pleats for shape? :roll:
Platform shoes = Chopines. I really want a pair, not just courtesans wore them. They were popular to keep your feet out of the mud, and the practice had been stolen borrowed from the Ottomans and their nalin. And since I tend to wear a good amount of Ottoman garb, a little lift wouldn't hurt.

Very Neo-Victorian/Steampunk. Accurate in appearance but not something I would consider 100% accurate when it comes to materials. You're taking a gothic novel and making a gothic interpretation, fiction to fiction, if you will. Plus, it has Tom Waits as Renfield, you can't really not like it.

NOW WE'RE TALKING.
First of all, my mother hates this movie because she didn't agree with Richard Gere being Lancelot. Second of all, all costumes in that movie is a representation of it trying to look "period" and "fantasy" at the same time resulting in a horrible mish mash of stuff that looks more like it belongs in the Gunne Sax 1972 Spring Collection.
(http://www.erasofelegance.com/entertainment/movies/knight/fk13a.jpg)
I don't know what this is. Connery looks like he's wearing an oversized sweater from 1989 and Julia Ormond is wearing drapery. Nothing, ever, in any historical period up to the 16th century would there have been deliberate pleating and braiding like that. It's a waste of time, and the clothing wouldn't have been able to be altered. Something like that is a very 19th century view of medieval clothing, they wanted everything to be more romantic and yet still similar to what they were wearing as Victorians that this is the shit they came up with.
Bitch all you want that the Arthurian Legends have no precise period and that they are "fantasy" but if Monty Python can pull off historically accurate early medieval garb for The Holy Grail, so can everyone else.
Also, I think I need to start a new blog with this stuff.
Also the swordfighting was terrible in First Knight. Someone should have shot them all.

Yes, back then when you had five guys against one, the best strategy was to attack one at a time, by raising your weapon WAY ABOVE your head, then yelling and running toward the guy.... then your buddies wait and see if you killed him... if not, the process repeats.

The first Conan wasn't that bad. The second Conan was abysmal and guilty of precisely what you describe.
In the first Conan, there aren't that many fight scenes.
As a matter of fact, I think there are only a couple of instances of Conan facing off against multiple people, and in these sequences he has aid. In the first (when they are escaping from Thulsa Dooms Mountain of Power), they dispatch a pair of goons relatively quickly. In the second, Conan deals with his enemies via preparedness and stealth.
Granted, Valeria coming back from the dead, as well as a lot of other things in the movie... are total cheese. But comeon, the movie is based on a series of PULP FANTASY books from the early part of the century, and the plot elements are a pretty faithful amalgamation of the Robert E. Howard stories.
The Destroyer, on the other hand, I think is total garbage.
Anyway, as a pure sword-and-sorcery style fantasy Movie, I dont think its really an applicable addition to a thread about period costumes.

There were a few Roman fuck ups if I remember correctly, but it's hard to screw up the ancient Hebrew sheet and tunic wearing. Problem is, we don't know exactly what Jesus wore anyway and all of our earliest sources are based on Coptic and Byzantine art nearly 500 years after the fact. So they just had him look the usual Dionysus way and went off with it.

I Sell The Dead.
Go on. Have a field day. I know I did.
I'm not entirely sure what time period that's supposed to take it. It's THAT BAD.

What? JCSS was SUPPOSED to be anachronism-ridden. It was half the point.

That's only because you're a communist.
It could be worse you know. It could be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

:vom:
I have been on the technical team for both JCSS and Technicolor Dreamcoat.
JCSS was awesome, mostly because Ted Neely walked up to me and started talking and my brain couldn't deal with seeing Jesus in a tshirt and jeans. Cause, the dude is the perfect stereotypical Jesus in looks and mannerisms... except for that whole Jewish thing.

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"
Awesome movie, but was it supposed to be Denmark in the 1400s or England in the 1600s? I don't think that they ever specify.

I'd accept either or both.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern never get to England. They're dead.
Hamlet is supposed to take place in the 1400s, but a lot of Shakespearean companies will put it on during the 1600s, or Kenneth Branagh get's a hold of it. Since it's not really a period film and rather a fanfic of Shakespeare, I don't think it matters. Theatre as a whole can transpose between periods as they see fit.

Also, never seen Cannibal the Musical.
I was referring to the movie my christian schooling forced upon me in the 7th grade, however you have a valid point about theatre.
How about, CASANOVA???

Not bad, actually! Though the movie itself needed assistance.

Personally, I thought the ending was stupid. However, I always enjoy(or enjoyed :( ) Heath Ledger flicks. :fap: :cry:
I don't think I've ever heard "Rozencrantz and Guildensern are Dead" called a "Shakespear fanfic" before.
Heh.
Also, "Girl with the Pearl Earring".
There was quite a few things wrong with Girl with a Pearl Earring. I remember that much. I think they screwed up the whole 16th/17th century bit like they tend to do.
You never answered me about Orlando. :(
That's because she already answered when I asked the first time.
She hasn't seen it.

Get ready for it...
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Very Neo-Victorian/Steampunk. Accurate in appearance but not something I would consider 100% accurate when it comes to materials. You're taking a gothic novel and making a gothic interpretation, fiction to fiction, if you will. Plus, it has Tom Waits as Renfield, you can't really not like it.

I'll get to it eventually. This is actually giving me quite the long list of movies I need to rip on.
You missed Dangerous Liaisons... unless that was cock and repost on my part as well.
I thought I got it?
Either way, Dangerous Liaisons had stuff that was WAY too shiny.
Shiny isn't period, unless it's silk, that was poly satin. I know these things.
