    They look like your local high school theatre club students just coming from their practice

    Imagine beeing in NZ working in a local store in the end of the 90s and some fucking hobbits showing up, buying beer. And the driver is waiting in the car and its Aragorn Arathorns son, king of Gondor and a dwarf sits in the backseats

      It’s always Gimli complaining and asking “Are we there yet?”, “How much farther?”, “No one said this was a road trip”, “the elf is breathing on me!”, “we dwarves weren’t built for this!”, etc. as his kind are known for being “quite rancorous over short distances.”

      Please tell me as the Hobbits are about to buy the beer, Aragorn rushes in, stands before them and says “My friends, you pay for no beer” then everyone in the bar walks over to pay part of the Hobbits beer tab, while the Hobbits stand there humbled and astonished.

    “Back in the day” I used to go to medieval fairs with friends quite often, and all of us were in full costume, from head to toe. It is a lot easier to change into those clothes at home rather than put them on when you arrive at your destination, so we already looked like a LotR troupe when we left home.

    One time on of our knights wanted to quickly get some more cash before we drove off, so he marched into the bank - in full metal plate, only missing the helmet and weapons 'cause they were in the trunk at the time. It took a while before he came back, laughing his ass off because he had to reassure the lone bank teller in there that he was NOT a lunatic trying to rob him.

    The bank got its first ATM a couple weeks later, which might or might not have been a coincidence.

    There was a photo set in some magazine around when Mad Men was filming their last season of the cast in their costumes looking at iPads and MacBooks, it was pretty cool.

    Apparently the girl from “girl next store” straight up went out to dinner with the other actors still in all the make-up effects of what was being done to her towards the end of the movie

    Wow, it’s almost as if actors are people who does modern people things, like having lunch breaks at work.

    Somebody on Lemmy actually seriously told me that I would never eat fast food, as if we’re a different species or something.

        I don’t know about that, I could be a dog on the Internet.

        Also, that’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

    There are literally so many “genres” of photography that are better than yet another flavor of shitty celebrity worship
