For those of you who haven't seen "Time Bandits", here is my inspiration for Rich's costume that I'm making. I LOVED this design. I thought it was so well thought out. It's as if they were saying the Minotaur wasn't a REAL beast, but a symbolic one. It was just a persona of a great warrior, and he wore the head of a sacrificial bull on his own head.
I noticed though....that somewhere in the film-making, it seems someone changed their mind....and they made the flesh hanging from the bull's head fresh with blood. Then, after Agamemnon, (Sean Connery), slays the Minotaur, he takes the head/mask which is accompanied by a ripping sound ....and the remaining shots of the warrior on the ground are angled so that we see no trace of his head.
Anyway, if I had a digital camera I could post my progress immediately.......but I'll get my film developed soon and show off what I've finished so far!

I always took it for a warrior in a mask..they did the same thing in Felini's Satyricon
..anyway, cool costume idea, just dont make the poor guy sweat too much
Ahhhhh, I see. Well, I've never seen Satyricon, but Rich has. He said he saw it at the Bloor ages ago!
Sounds like Mythology is often re-enacted in costume......maybe that's why I love costumes so much. They let you become someone else.
hell, if I fretted over all the movies/books I HAVENT seen/read yet, I'd be the fret king in the land of fretting people.
...I also like Eyes Wide Shut with the eerie costume scene, but I seem to be in a minority for liking this film...ah well
..so little time, so much to know

I thought the quote was "So Little Time....So Much To Do!"
But I could be wrong. He sure was a freaky little character!
"Ad hoc ad hoc
and quid pro quo,
so little time
so much to know"
I stand corrected!
