    I still have my poster after seeing the first movie opening week. It worked for that movie since it was a new step for fantasy scifi. Once the characters became known and the franchise took off, realistic artwork made more sense.

    Didn’t know about him almost being involved with the animated Lord of the Rings. That would have been a totally different direction than the rotoscoping. Maybe better? Who knows.

    Also, gone too young. Still had potential work to create. Not cancer this time, something we ought to have a better handle on, diabetes.

      Diabetes (Type I) is a bitch, because diet can only manage it somewhat. And there’s 2 subtypes there, with all sorts of biochem happening. Plus hormones are a crazy interwoven system.

      Type II now, yes, there’s near-zero reason to not have control of it, as it’s nearly all diet induced. And something like 90%+ of all diabetes in the US is Type II today. I knew no one as a kid who had diabetes (though it later appeared in my family).
