wrapping up hbo max
already canceled hbo max (15th is the last day) and spent the week watching the extended LotR movies. we've never seen them before & figured "why not?" since we had the streaming service & wanted stuff to fill out the time after the last of us series.
the extended movies were OK. the theatrical releases loose nothing by not having the extra material, in our humble opinions. now that we've seen them, we can go bake to watching the theatrical releases whenever the paramount network show them on a random weekend.
watching the movies kind of make me want to go around in early middle ages or viking garb, or a nice cloak. for a day anyway.
i always kind of wanted to go to a ren fair, maybe not dress up though. but a ren fair would be the place to do it. because they seem more relaxed about accuracy. supposedly there are people dressed like stargate teams that go to some because the last two seasons they went to planets that looked like medieval villages.
an SCA event does not seem like the kind of place to do it. i hear they get a lot of "garb police" who will hassle you if your shoes are not the exact ones someone of your social rank & location would have.
i mean they have 14th century french royals, mixing with 10th century farmers from brittan & renaissance merchants, with a few romans in togas sprinkled in for good measure. but people get hung up on if someone's hairstyle is not 100% accurate.
i suppose they ignore eyeglasses & visible body piercings. although, depending on the culture, piercings are common.
