Go visit the South Island and virtually every local has stories about the filming of LotR. A huge number of them were hired by the production in one way or another, from being extras to providing horses to helping dress all those extras & horses to catering all those people etc.

I love this totally sincere reply to a completely insincere joke. I would love to visit New Zealand for a lot of reasons.

It was definitely a bucket list sort of thing for me. The trip from the northeast US absolutely sucks (20+ hours in the air) but for 3 weeks there it was worth it.
