I can't explain how much this LOTR promo picture makes me laugh

You have the absolutely gorgeous, flawless Shire in the background, a cozy green paradise with the blue sky, shining sun and rainbow - like something out of a storybook.

Then there's Bilbo, dressed like a fancy chad in the middle of his hobbit paradise, smiling gleefully at this fucking evil ring: ya know he's going to keep that thing at all costs, even if it means something like biting Gandalf's hand.

And leaning into the foreground is our boy Frodo and he's not even giving us a scenery-appropriate happy expression. There's just this neutral seriousness with a barely recognizable hint of disgust. He's staring at the viewer like "Aw no you know what that means. Pls get me outta here". He's already dressed for travelling. He just KNOWS he's going to have to volunteer to get his ass kicked by a bunch of monsters because his uncle just wouldn't throw that damn jewellry away.

And then someone snapped a picture of that.

I love it.

Quite possibly my favourite behind the scenes is the interviews of the actors just saying how Sir Ian McKellen kept reminding them all to be physically affectionate on camera so the queer subtext could shine through because

Peter Jackson may have worked hard

but Ian McKellen worked harder

RETURN OF THE KING (2003) dir. Peter Jackson

[yeesandhaws]

i freaking love the lotr movies because you see a plethora of photos that look like they'd be those "lotr actor au" type things except IT'S NOT AN AU. THEY LITERALLY HAVE THE SWEETEST AND MOST TENDER THINGS CAPTURED ON CAMERA.

THOSE MOVIES WERE FILMED AND FORGED STRONG BONDS BETWEEN THE ACTORS AND CREW AND HORSES ON SET.

AND WE CAN SEE THE CAST BEING SILLY AND GOOFY IN AND OUT OF COSTUME

and yeah anyways i think about that a lot whenever i feel sad because then i get a lil serotonin boost from the bts-of-lotr photos

(this really was our fellowship of the ring ahh trilogy)
