We have Renn Faires...

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>

No general interest?

Actually, now I think of it, our local Ren Faire always has a few dudes who dress up as 18th European dandies with makeup act as French Ambassadors to the King's court.

@Vilageidiotx

I'm sure in this world of AntiFa vs Whoever we can revive interest in the San-Culottes and Muscadins.

We have Renn Faires...

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>

Because in the 16th century European-American history was pretty bleak. By the 18th century we have stuff to do, so we don't need to borrow from Europe anymore.

@Vilageidiotx

But we're America

A country of appropriate

We got pizzer

We have Renn Faires...

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>

Living history exhibits in the United States. We gots them. Also, the camps that spring up around Civil War reenactments. I think the East coast does more 18th century stuff for obvious reasons.

Now, that is shit relevant to the US, obviously we don't get too many coffeehouses or Prussians or wars of succession. It's Europe's job to do the European stuff.

@Vilageidiotx

tfw we have Renn Faires en masse and rip off European history for the purpose of commercially enriching the American experience that is flat bread.

Yet you're proposing we can't continue to appropriate European history and pretend it's not American. :c

We have Renn Faires...

Where are our 18th century Enlightenment Faires?

Including such activities as:
Picking between San-Culottes and Muscadins and initiating in team-based mob warfare with foam clubs.
Going to the coffeehouse and sipping coffee while debating the latest and greatest in scientific achievement.
Constitution drafting
Slavery
Initiating fifty wars at once over succession
Fancy dress parties
Bicorns and tricorns
Prussians

I saw Atlantis: Lost Empire for the first time the other day

I met the linguist they consulted for the movie, and he had a funny story. Apparently at one point the main character makes a comment about being able to translate the atlantean language almost instantly as it was the common ancestor language or w.e. So the linguist read the script and told them "in language doesn't really work like that so you might want to change it."

And they liked it how it was. Lol

Oh also that linguist basically invented Klingon for the star trek films.

@Doivid

As I've heard it said whenever producers invite specialists to be a part of the film it's not expected the directors or anyone will actually take them seriously at all or even ask. They being there is just so they can say they had a specialist present, whether or not they gave meaningful advice.

Lindybeige told a story in one of his videos about historical accuracy in films and people invited to the set to help film makers makes things accurate, and in the story he was telling from one such person his experience amounted to telling the film crew that a banner they were using was not an infantry standard but was a cavalry standard.

He was only there to be officially entered into the credits as an adviser to give the film some authority.
