Astin's Diary 2
TITLE: Safety Dance – Men Without Hobbit Feet
AUTHOR: Pecos – PecosPhil@sprintmail.com
RATING: PG for silliness and naughty language
FEEDBACK: remember the golden rule, (please!)
DISCLAIMER: I don’t make the toys, I’m
only playing with them. No money made,
nor disrespect intended
WHO’S IN IT?: People whom I’ve never met
and hold no actual grudge against
ARCHIVE: I’d be honored, just tell me where
NOTE: I’m pretty sure Sean Astin is actually a
really nice guy. Ditto the other dudes
From the Journals of Sean Astin:
Thursday the fifteenth
Number of days we’ve gotten into Hobbit feet w/o filming them: 40!
10:58 am – found a bit of glass in the grass not twenty feet from potential filming site. Insisted that entire hillside be combed by grounds crew before lunch break. Peter will probably never get around to thanking me.
12:11 – break for lunch. I opt for the fish, despite dubious origin. Flying Trestles crew assures me that it’s fresher than Ian in a sauna. Put extra vegetables on Elijah’s plate. Hide his cigarettes while I’m at it. Mention to Dominic that potato chips do not actually qualify as a veg. (His education appears to have been appallingly lacking.)
12:23 – fish disagrees with me. Am in such a rush for the porta-potty that I don’t even get time to disinfect it before use! Hear much laughter while I’m indisposed. Hobbits are clearly making plans for the evening. Billy Boyd is heard singing something in Scottish. Probably obscene.
12:31 – emerge from death trap (aka honey wagon) to find that Bean is throwing beer bottles in the air and having Orlando shoot them with prop bow and arrows. This turns out to be the source of broken glass, which is now EVERYWHERE on the hillside.
12:32 – Start to lecture Orlando at length about the value of the props.
12:33 – Viggo apparently needs to run lines with Orlando, asks if he can borrow him. Then go to their trailer. (I refuse to call it the same name that THOSE guys do, the c*n*y-Wagon) Take the opportunity to phone Christine.
12:35 – Christine says I woke our daughter up from nap. I am chagrined. I decide to go ahead and have some of the cookies on the Craft Service table – just in interest of keeping Sam’s physique.
1:02 – filming recommences. Legolas and Aragorn are missing. Not very professional.
1:07 – shot finished. I find a badly worn wire going to one of the lights.
