Carbon Costume Men
Tyler Durden
Played by Brad Pitt in Fight Club, Tyler Durden is a soap salesman who befriends Edward Norton on a business trip. He’s a complete break from the meek Norton: smoking, having flings, and of course, starting fights.
William “D-Fens” Foster
Sometimes enough is enough and for William “D-Fens” Foster that point was reached in Falling Down. Dressed in his business casual work attire the disgruntled former engineer went on a rampage stealing weapons and confronting anyone that looked at him funny. That’s not really what you would expect from a man with a pocket full of ballpoint pens and a briefcase.
Dwayne Hoover
Dwayne Hoover is an angsty teenager who hates all men except for Friedrich Nietzsche. He takes a vow of silence, communicating only by notepad, until he can fulfill his dream of joining the Air Force.
Jesus Quintana from The Big Lebowski
In The Big Lebowski, Jesus Quintana (played by John Turturro) is a bowler who competes against the Dude, Walter, and Donny. Jesus’ personality is flamboyant and over-the-top, highlighted by his bright purple wardrobe. While Jesus wears a one-piece purple jumpsuit, a similar look can be created using track pants and a polo shirt, while allowing for greater comfort and ease when nature calls. If you have to go against someone in bowling it might as well be “The Jesus”. His choice of jumpsuits and bowling ball shining skills make him, at the very least, an entertaining opponent.
Ernie McCracken
In Kingpin, Bill Murray plays Ernie “Big Ern” McCracken, a professional bowler who’ll backstab anyone to get ahead including bowling prodigy Roy Munson. That rose bowling ball is his gravy train with biscuit wheels.
Pat Jr. from Silver Linings Playbook
In Silver Linings Playbook, Bradley Cooper plays Patrick “Pat Jr.” Solitano, a man suffering from bipolar disorder. After he’s released from the mental health facility, he moves in with his parents and gets back in the groove by rooting for the Eagles, entering dance competitions, and wearing trash bags.
Calvin Candie
Calvin Candie, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, holds Django’s wife Broomhilda captive. As the owner of Candyland Plantation, his cruelty simmers under the mask of good manners, charming personality, and a sweet tooth.
Candyman
Sometime after the Civil War, Candyman is attacked by a lynch mob that cuts off his hand and sets bees to sting him to death. If you chant “candyman” five times while looking in the mirror, he’ll appear in his fabulous fur-trimmed coat and murder you with his hook hand. Fortunately, it’s just an urban legend…
Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter
Steve Irwin, also known as the Crocodile Hunter, was the vivacious Australian host of a wildlife TV series. On the show, he showed his love of animals by pissing off crocodiles, snakes, and other critters.
