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
NOTE: I’m pretty sure Sean Astin is actually a
really nice guy. Ditto the other dudes




From the Journals of Sean Astin:

Friday the sixteenth
Number of days we’ve gotten into Hobbit feet w/o filming them: 40!

2:30 pm – I only just now got a chance to update this diary for the day. Someone stole it from my bag this morning and left it atop Bernard’s script with a note that read ‘spare toilet paper’. Needless to say, am certain this was not a casual mistake. Anyhow, we’re in the Stone St. studio again today. Wonder if this building has been tested for lead poison?

2:42 – B.K. came over just a moment ago with his chessboard. I will not be tempted. Have more important things to do.

3:21 – B.K. beat me in seventeen moves. New record for him, the sneaky little prick.

3:39 – actually commence filming. We do four takes before Elijah cuts a humongous fart and Billy and Dom crack up, killing the scene. Peter is amused rather than angry. Figures.

3:40 – I briefly lecture Elijah on the usefulness of fiber and Vitamin B. Dom is now making Very Loud fart noises at every opportunity. Crew are oddly amused. Perhaps it is the Monty Python mentality. No use explaining Brit humor.

3:52 – filming re-commences. Note to me: need to investigate if there is a link between curry consumption and IQ. Google?

4:08 – think I’ll stop and get curry take-out on way home tonight.

5:15 – Need to find out how often the costumes are being laundered. Viggo is definitely beginning to smell.

5:27 – filming interrupted with Very Loud Fart. Culprit turns out to be Fran Walsh.

5:27 & ½ - need to call my agent. Is it too late to quit this gig?

My muse seemd firmly in place at the moment, so yes -- there'll be more from Mister Astin Thank you for asking!

For my part, I'm not quite sure whether Sean Astin is actually a really nice guy, but I'm pretty sure that this fic's hilarious!

Thank you for sharing this diary is too funny!

I actually had the pleasure of spending a day with Sean Astin when he was a guest at the Sci Fi media con I work with, and they knew that I didn't care enough about him to do a poor job (ie: they will NEVER let me watch Orlando Bloom, and I nearly made a scene over tending Karl Urban) I can honestly say that he's one of the nicest guests we've ever had in 30 yrs of doing conventions and he was the only one I have ever known to appreciate and TAKE HOME every single thing that was given to him by his fans -- even the slash stuff!

So, yeah, I actually like Sean. However, he is easy to make fun of. I think that if he were reading this he'd be the first one to laugh.

I had missed these because I hadn't friended you ... silly silly me.
Men Without Hats :)
Safety!Sean is excellent, I can see him checking up OSH (Occupational Health & Safety) standards whilst in NZ, and clucking at how incomplete they are (or how easily ignored).
Thank you!

I myself was a little surprised at the lax safety rules about helicopters. Quite a change from the uber-litigious Americans. We were treated like it was the family car.

Yup - apart from a "Keep you head down" and "Unplug the headset before you jump out", the rest of it was "Look to the left, remember this scene?!", and "I flew them into here"!
We pride ourselves on being non-bureaucratic (which, of course, is a joke - we are as bad as any nation, we just ignore it all as much as possible).

I'd love to be able to write one for you every day, but doubt that time will permit. Thank you for commenting!

Poor Sean -- he really doesn't seem to be getting any respect, does he?

[starlingthefool.livejournal.com]

I've been really enjoying these.

[pecos.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sister! How're things up your way?

need to investigate if there is a link between curry consumption and IQ. Google?
think I’ll stop and get curry take-out on way home tonight

I'm know this is an exaggeration, but why can I hear Astin thinking this.
