One of the best things about Halloween is getting to Costume Watch. People can come up with some genuinely clever costumes on their own, and many are quite well-crafted. Every year, however, we are shocked and saddened by how many people just go into a costume store and buy a shitty, ready-made costume – requiring no thought or creativity of their own. And for their part, the makers of these costumes make a killing, selling what really amounts to scraps of thin fabric for fifty thousand times what they are worth, and doing so in such volume as we cannot even begin to properly grasp.
Well, faithful readers, it is time to carry on with our tradition of angrily reviewing a few of the costumes we have stumbled across at the costume sites. There’s no shortage of Retarded Slut Costumes, and Desperate, Dick-Fixated Man Costumes – although we tried to ignore most of them, leaving only the most annoying for your viewing pleasure. A few Straight Up Stupid costumes are on hand, but we didn’t bother showcasing any children’s costumes, because to hell with children!
It never fails to amaze me how many people have missed out on this film. Usually written off as a shitty sci-fi flick, this film is actually a (good) horror film set in space. Though to be quite honest, just being in space itself is scary enough for me.
Okay, so Brawl Brothers. No, it’s not some Super Smash Bros spinoff, or really anything like that. Brawl Brothers is actually an old as nails Super NES beat-em-up that no one would ever give a shit about except that one kid that rented it at the video store when nothing else better was available. Yes, that kid was me. And today, I’m going to pay respects to the game that gave me more than a few weekends of “well, it’s better than nothing” fun.
