   Source: I was born a nerd and raised by a nerdy father. I had 3 computers in my house in 95, all built by him, with me being a little helper, and I learned to play on the internet early. Of course I was searching nerdy shit like that before the 2000's for sure. The dial up tones sure bring back nostalgic memories.

   
   ahahahhaah, there you go then.
   I wasn't completely sure, but it makes sense. Tolkien already had a huge fanbase way before the movies. Well, since LOTR were published really.

   I was a huge sci-fi fan as a child and the hobbit and LOTR were some of my favorites

   The movies kind of spoiled the books a little for me.

   Why is that? I mean the movies could never be the same as the books, but I think they did a really good job though.
   With LOTR at least cause The Hobbit trilogy sucked big time.

   They cheapened the books in my mind.
   
   Obviously you create images in your head from the books...the over exposure to the movies since has now replaced my images with the movie ones.

    Ah, gotcha. I understand that.
    I hate Elijah Wood as Frodo and I don't care about Orlando Bloom as Legolas either. Fortunately for me, when I read the books, I can still remove their faces from my imagination. They bother me much more when I watch the movie, rather then when I read the books.
