By the same developers as Dr.Enuf if I'm not mistaken.

I didn't know that. Dr. Enuf Dr. Enuf, Mountain Dew’s Long-Lost Brother

"You may not have heard of Johnson City, Tennessee’s Dr. Enuf, but chances are you know its long-lost brother, Mountain Dew. Tri-Cities Beverage Company bottled both until the mid-1960s, when it sold the Dew to Pepsi. While Mountain Dew has gone on to worldwide fame and fortune, Dr. Enuf has remained a hometown favorite.

Like many popular soft drinks, Dr. Enuf was first mixed as a medicinal beverage. The formula came from a Chicago chemist named Bill Schwartz, who developed it as an energy drink. Unlike most sodas, though, it’s still sold that way. “The Original Energy Booster,” reads the bottle. “Rich in Vitamins!”

Frodo from the movie is my least favorite character. Dude was so annoying...and his buggy eyes looking sad 80% of the time 🥺.

that's all peter jackson. he pretended to be a low budget, small town director. yet he couldnt be further from that.

King Kong was huge blockbuster.

Honestly i would have liked to have seen a strong no name, like Martin Freeman who played Bilbo in Hobbit to play Frodo. I agree with you.

I'm going to get flamed for saying this, but I actually enjoyed the Hobbit movies. I know how far away it is from the book, but I just really enjoyed the characters and actors/actresses who portrayed them.

As for Frodo, I'm actually reading the book for the first time right now. Weird since I have loved LotR for a looooong time. Just not much of a reader. Anywho, it's really good and I'm enjoying it. Frodo, so far, I have liked.

it's amazing that he created the world first. the entire backstory was written, languages etc. then he wrote the story. i always envision a musical analogy of bonham and JPJ sitting in a dark room stumbling onto Over the Hills and Far Away. Then, JP and Plant come in later on and just shred it.

Gratuitous Zep plug.

Books > movies.

PS, the actor that played Thorin Oakenshield embodied, at least in my mind, what Tolkein envisioned. Seems like dwarves were a punch line in LOTR movies. They played an important part in history of ME. You see that in Hobbit Movies.

Hobbit didnt need to be a trilogy.
