May 1 2009New 'Scott Pilgrim' Blog Reveals Stars Live Nothing Like Us
On the official Scott Pilgrim vs. The World blog, a third video blog has been posted, this one focusing on director Edgar Wright and his cast and crew doing their first week on location in Toronto. Honestly, it isn't particularly interesting save for one fact the costume designer let slip: to help deal with the psychosomatic chill that results from working around fake snow, the actors were offered silk long underwear. SILK! The most luxurious fabric ever made! So I hope that keeps you warm, your majesties, because the entire long underwear budget probably went to making sure your legs were comfortable, and now the rest of the crew has to wear long johns made of loosely woven human hair. Does that make you feel like a big man, Michael Cera?

Silk long underwear is actually pretty common with skiers and other winter sports enthusiasts.
That being said, this would be a much better disclosure if it was about them all getting silk panties and wearing them around. Do you feel like a big man now, Michael Cera?

How about peeing in the pants? That keeps you warm as well.

Just a quick FYI: silk long underwear are not that expensive, nor are they the most deluxe long underwear you can buy. The best long underwear are made from man-made materials specially designed to retain heat and wick moisture, by like patagonia or gortex, and they cost 2-3 times as much as a nice set of silk long underwear. No, you won't find silk long underwear at Target, but they're available at most outdoor sports stores (REI, EMS) and pretty affordable.

Also, as someone who works behind the camera in the film industry, I would just like to say in defense of the actors, that the crew wears layers upon layers of clothing to keep warm, whereas the actors usually are dressed in light clothing, too light to realistically wear in cold conditions.
