Life hacks. Some stories stay with us forever. Why doesn't this happen? How I feel standing vs sitting. What you claim life is... Words. Choco-kebab. Chinese.

Photo credit Since I write the Geek Chic column here at CF, it should come as no surprise that I obsess over a lot of sci-fi/fantasy series. Of all these, though, it’s The Lord of the Rings that will always be my…precious… and the one tale to rule them all. J.R.R. Tolkien’s story of nine unlikely allies and their epic quest to save Middle-earth is beloved by millions and has been adapted several times.

Peter Jackson’s critically acclaimed film adaptations starred Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Viggo Mortenson, Sean Bean, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, and Sir Ian McKellen as the Fellowship of the Ring and won a total of 17 Academy Awards. (The Return of the King won all of its 11 nominations and was the first and only fantasy movie ever to win Best Picture!) For more sci-fi/fantasy fashion, check out previous Geek Chic posts about looks inspired by Star Trek, looks inspired by Doctor Who, and looks inspired by The Big Bang Theory!

I don’t think I’ve seen dancing this incredible hit the internet since clips of David Elsewhere started circulating about a decade ago. This guy achieves simply inhuman movement. Even after watching this twice, I still can’t convince myself the camera isn’t playing tricks. Who is this guy!? Update: The dancer is 29-year-old Marquese Scott who goes by the moniker NONSTOP.
