Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

The Franchise that Doesn’t Quit
Due to the epic music and the unforgetable costumes, Pirates of the Caribbean has become one of the most famous movie franchises around the world. The entire series, consisting of four movies, has made over $3 billion US dollars as of 2011. The most recent film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, has earned $1 billion wordwide, making it the eighth overall film in history to do so.

The Popular Captain Jack Costume
Since the first moment Captain Jack Sparrow wobbled his way onto screens in 2003, costumers have been attempting to portray the drunken amorous pirate, and all for gold, glory and women. It’s also no surprise that with this much success Pirates has its own licensed costumes for the franchise enthusiasts.

Captain Jack Sparrow Costume at a Party

Pirates of the Caribbean costumes continue to be popular as both Halloween costumes and convention costumes. Go to any pirate party, and you’re sure to see at least two Jack Sparrows–excuse me, Captain Jack Sparrows. Every year at the Renaissance Festival, I play “Count the Jacks.” The more I drink, the more the game turns into “Hug the Jacks.”

Other Popular Pirates’ Character Costumes
Even when Disney doesn’t touch the franchise for a few years like they did between the third and fourth movies, Captain Jack Sparrow and his costumed friends remain popular. It was actually during these years that I saw the most Captain Barbossa costumes. From Elizabeth Swann to Jack’s new love interest, Angelica, the Disney licensed costumes come ready to impress.

And for the really bold, there is the villainous Davy Jones costume completely with drooping, wiggling tentacles. Finding a Davy Jones is more like playing “Where’s Waldo?,” but like the game with striped shirt man, finding a Jones becomes just as rewarding.

Become One of the Mateys
If you want a great, popular costume that will be the life (and rum) of the party, try a Pirates of the Caribbean costume. Pirates are popular at Halloween as well as conventions, marathons and Renaissance Fairs. When is the last time you’ve seen a pirate and not smiled?

We’ve seen a lot of good and downright terrible Superman movies over the years. I admit, I’m a bit worried about the Superman: Man of Steel reboot, but every small piece of news that comes to light about the upcoming movie is boosting my confidence.

Zack Snyder of 300 fame (also of the critically questioned Suckerpunch and fan-loved-and-hated Watchmen) will be directing the movie, and I, for one, think this is right up his alley. Of course, I’m ready for the CG and boosted lighting and for Superman to fly really, really slow at some points. But hey, he’s faster than a speeding bullet, so maybe he won’t be going that slow, just the world around him.

Recently it’s been announced that Amy Adams will be playing against lead man Henry Cavill. For those fans of the comics, this is a return to the classic Clark and Lois dynamic. Lois is older than Clark (in Adams case, almost a decade older than Cavill), and she is more professional than him. She takes on a mature, boss-like mentality that Clark needs to flourish as well as being his flirty love interest.

Costumes have not yet officially been announced for the movie, but with the recent DC reboot and costume reveal, fans are wondering what the Man of Steel will look like.

Classic vs. New Design

See? No red undies. And yet I can’t decide if I like this look or not (even if I complain about superheroes wearing their underwear on the outside of their pants). It looks somehow… less Superman.

Now that is a classic Superman Costume. So while we know Lois is going to be perfect (I can’t wait to see Adams in that role), we’ll have to wait awhile to see what Superman will be wearing when he’s not farm boy reporter Clark Kent.

Besides, Superman costumes are adorable… on everyone.
