Find a way to lie 'bout a home I'll never see
So Andrew and I saw Man of Steel the other night, and in lieu of doing a review (because I'm terrible at keeping my thoughts cohesive during movie reviews) I'm going to talk about something in the movie that I found really impressive.
Amy Adams is an attractive woman in a super hero movie. And yet, here is an example of one of her costumes:
Look at that! She was at work at The Daily Planet in this scene, and she's wearing a professional blazer and collared shirt that look like something a woman would wear to her reporter job. (Please also notice that the African-American man standing next to her is Perry White).
Here's what Lois Lane wears to visit the Arctic:
Hat, scarf, big puffy coat, gloves, turtleneck. You know why? Because it's cold in the Arctic, and she's not stupid.
For comparison, here's what Lara Croft wore to the Arctic (or the Antarctic, I can't remember):
I mean, I love the Tomb Raider movie, and I get it, sort of, but really? It's COLD, BUTTON YOUR COAT UP. We don't need to see your breasts in the snow. I promise, we will survive without them for this scene.
Here's what Lois Lane wears when she's preparing for an action sequence involving airplanes:
A flight suit, exactly the same as Stabler's (except without the badges etc. because she's a civilian), with a shirt underneath. Notice how this is completely appropriate for the situation, doesn't show her cleavage, and is even slightly baggy.
Now here's Sue Storm from The Fantastic Four in her flight suit (which I could not find a full body version of for some reason):
Again, I like this movie (even though it is TERRIBLE much of the time) but this is just ridiculous. Is that how you would wear your space suit right before launching into orbit? NO.
Also, this:
Those suits zip up! You can even kind of see her zipper! There is no reason for this nonsense.
Anyway, this is another thing Lois Lane wears to work:
It's cute, it's a little sexy, but it's still office appropriate. And do you see her cleavage? No you do not, because she is a motherfucking professional.
Even in the promo shots Lois looks cute, but like a reporter and not a hooker.
Look at that knee length skirt!
What is the point of this post? Man of Steel is almost two and a half hours long, and I did not see Lois Lane's breasts once. This is progress, people.
P.S. This is General Zod's second in command, Faora Ul:
Is she hot? Yes. Is she a warrior wearing armor that actually covers her vital organs (assuming they're in the same place for Kryptonians)? Yes. Can you see her breasts? NO.
Go see Man of Steel for this alone. Costuming that values the function of women's clothing over showing off their chests.
Answer to last Thursday's song: Going Away to College, by Blink-182.
Answer to last Friday's song: Sailing for Adventure, from Muppet Treasure Island. No one guessed either of these.
