Because of the downtime the site experienced over the weekend, I’m extending the entries for the Major Spoilers Costume Contest until Wednesday 11:30PM. We have between 14 and 20 entries, and would like to get more. On Thursday, we’ll post all the entries and the top three for you to vote on. The winner will now be announced on November 1.
If this trailer doesn’t make you want to see this film, then perhaps it will get you to at least dress up in a costume and enter a certain contest on this site (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPceD3CrQeg[/youtube] Seriously, I met these guys at San Diego a couple of years ago, and as weird as they may be, I still have to give them credit for trying their damnedest to make something of their lives.

You know those guys that hang out on Hollywood Boulevard in superhero costumes so you can take pictures? Turns out there is a documentary about them, directed by Matt Ogens. Pic chronicles the alternately poignant and amusing paths of the struggling actors who pay the bills by playing superheroes on Hollywood Boulevard. Central characters are Batman, Superman, the Hulk and Wonder Woman. Now there’s a crossover you probably didn’t expect to see… The film will screen at AFI in October. via Variety

Project: Rooftop is now accepting entries for the second annual costume contest: Fights, Flights & Tights 2. Pretty easy to enter, make your costume, take several pics, get them to the company before October 21st. The best entries get featured on the site, and the winner will receive an original sketch of their design by Dean Trippe. Sounds cool to me, and gives me an idea or two for something here at Major Spoilers. More info can be found at the Project: Rooftop site.
You have until Oct. 22 to submit your photos. More information can be found at www.marvel.com/costumecontest/.
I don’t cosplay for a reason – I don’t got the build for spandex,, although if you’ve seen me lately, I could probably pull of that late 50s, early 60s Lex Luthor look. That doesn’t stop all sorts of people from joining in the fun. I never knew sneakers, berks and shorts were part of the official Starfleet uniform. Do you cosplay? Send us pics of yourself all dolled up – I may have a contest forming. via My Extra Life
Here’s something to ponder – Storm Trooper in a Bikini. You can see the rest of the set at the Flickr site. Speaking of pictures, did you go to Wizard World Chicago? We’re looking for readers to share their photo diary of the convention. Drop me an email at schleicher.at.mindspring.com, and I’ll get them on the site.
Looks like we are just about to wrap up the photo parade coverage of the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con. Today’s installment comes from Major Spoilers reader Shane, who made his first ever trip to the west coast, and his first trip to a comic book convention – ever! Having been to many cons, we at Major Spoilers salute you for being that daring to make SDCC your first.
Top Cow VP of Marketing and Sales Filip Sablik sent Major Spoilers a whole bunch of pictures of the Top Cow booth and attendees from the San Diego Comic-Con. Take the jump for celebrity shots, booth babes, new merch and more.
The photos from the comic-con are trickling in. After the last installment, Jim Mourgos contacted me and let me know he had a access to the press area of the Masquerade and took a whole lot of pictures. If you want to see some close-ups of the costumes, and a different take on Masquerade, take the jump. If you have any pictures from the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con and want to share them with the world – put them in an e-mail and send them my way!
