Carbon Costume Men
Michael Cera in This Is the End
In This Is the End, Michael Cera shows his true colors, and by that we mean his one-of-a-kind windbreaker. If the ground starts shaking behind him, step back. And if he asks you how his coke smells, watch out.
Tom from (500) Days of Summer
In (500) Days of Summer, Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the classic underachiever, trained as an architect but working as a writer for a greeting card company. He falls hard for a co-worker named Summer and they eventually date, but something tells me that their days are numbered.
Barry Egan
In Punch-Drunk Love, Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is a lonely businessman with anger issues. His family, made up of seven obnoxious, overbearing sisters, doesn’t help. But things look up when he meets Lena and hatches a scheme to collect a million frequent flyer miles by buying pudding. That’s a lot of pudding.
Joe from Looper
In Looper, young Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a time-traveling assassin paid to kill victims sent back in time by a crime syndicate. Things are going just peachy until they send back old Joe (Bruce Willis), his 30-year-older self.
Léon: The Professional
Leone “Léon” Montana (Jean Reno) is a professional hitman living a quiet life in New York City, sipping milk, raising houseplants, and taking jobs from the mafia. That is, until his 12-year-old neighbor Mathilda’s family is killed, leaving him to take her under his wing.
Sawyer in The Dharma Initiative
In Lost, James Ford, alias Sawyer, alias Josh Holloway, is a handsome and charming con artist whose sarcastic personality belies a more tender side. Following a chain of events too convoluted to describe in mere words, he ends up as the head of the DHARMA Initiative, alias Jim LaFleur. Or something like that.
Pip
Pool boy by day and drummer by night, Pip embraces ’90s fashion in Airheads. Combining sleeveless flannel shirts with oversized shorts, this wanna be rock star isn’t the brightest member of the Lone Rangers but at least he’s fun to recreate. When else are you going to get to wear a shell necklace without someone making fun of you?
Leatherface
In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Leatherface is a chainsaw-wielding, psychopathic murder who has a taste for human flesh. He and his inbred family hunt down victims and turn them into practical items like housebuilding materials and meat for BBQ and chili. Probably the scariest thing about Leatherface is that the fact that he was inspired by real life killer Ed Gein, who wore a mask of human skin.
Harry Potter in The Prisoner of Azkaban
At the end of his third year at Hogwarts, Harry learns the truth behind his parents’ deaths and who he can and can not trust while trying to save the beloved hippogriff, Buckbeak. While on this adventure, Harry is out of uniform and in a simple sweatshirt and tee that get a bit roughed up from all of the escaped-prisoner-chasing, dementor-fighting, and time-traveling.
Ron Weasley in The Prisoner of Azkaban
Though Ron misses out on a chunk of the adventure due to an injury from the Whomping Willow and a mysterious dog, we do not miss out on seeing his maroon and orange getup that is impeccably ‘Weasley’.
