• More Bad Halloween Costumes for Kids

  Shine has a list of some of the worst kiddie costumes. Mike covered a lot of these in his brilliant post The Return of the Halloween Baby Slut Costumes.  (Sample: "Would anyone ever sell a Chippendale outfit for young boys? Would a parent ever buy one?") But there are a few more in the Shine list that are worthy of attention, and I found a couple of others I wanted to share. Read More...

• Would You Dress Your Kid as Ledger's Joker for Halloween?

  Given the immense popularity of "The Dark Knight," it's no surprise that one of the most popular costumes this Halloween will be Heath Ledger's version of the Joker. Demand for the costume is already high, as this piece on Defamer points out. One online costume vendor told the Kansas City Star -- a bit crassly, in my opinion -- that, "It’s going to be big. And the reason it’s going to be big is because Ledger is dead, not because Ledger is terrific. Which raises a question: If your kid wants to smear red lipstick across his mouth and go trick-or-treating in full-on "Why so serious?" mode, should you let him? Read More...

• The Dark Knight -- parents strongly cautioned (to go see it)

  Let's get one thing out of the way right now – you shouldn't bring your children. They might want to go, but unless they have a very high tolerance for a long movie (2 and half hours) and an abnormally high tolerance for what might be the most frightening performance ever (Heath Ledger's Joker), I'd get a sitter.
