Pin Up Influences in Movies: Watchmen

[Chris P]

Clearly the costume department had fun dipping into the past and present of pin up to create the look for Silk Spectre l &ll. I just love the secret identity of the first version: Sally Jupiter.

The early reviews here in the UK have been mixed because of the attempt by the director to stay close to the spirit of the graphic novel which makes it difficult for non-fans to follow. The visuals have got to be worth the price of admission alone.

That is simply wonderful! Love it. Thank you for adding it.

Coming soon: the Sally Jupiter doll! Aint she a beaut?

Very cute! I might actually buy this..and usually it's my brothers who are the big nerds collecting figurines. I can't wait to watch this movie!! Using pin up imagery for this character is brilliant, it automatically gives her a history she wouldn't have otherwise. Ok I'm gonna stop my geeky drooling now.

Dont stop your geeky drooling! It's a healthy reaction to such a delicious character. I expect a Rubies costume and wig would give Elvira a run for her money come Halloween!

I decided to add this video here instead of adding another Watchmen discussion. Enjoy!

Well, you're not the only one...They're gonna show a special preview of Watchmen this Tuesday at the Bloor Cinema. Obviously there's a limited number of rush tickets. So I'm gonna try to be one of the first in line...ah...the advantages of being jobless!! : P Oh and after Watchmen they're gonna show Tim Burton's Batman for FREE!!! I'll be in geek heaven!
Watch this video, it's very lols because of the excited Aussie geek at the end. I'm not an accent expert though so don't quote me on that..voila! Enjoy some more!

My little Sally Jupiter figure is standing on my table and is such a cutie. I suspect Batman is going to swoop down and offer to show her his utility belt when I leave the room!

[Anita Fixx]

That Batman is such a pervert!! Not a gentleman like Mr.J..."Well, hello beautiful!". Haha!
