Yes, I can see what you mean, and even though I would (probably) have never discovered Tolkien if it weren't for the films...I'm beginning to think his works have become too popular for their own good. I also post on a few other forums, and in recent months I've become annoyed by the trend of new members posting again and again about how awesome the films are, and how boring the books look in comparison (books they refuse to pick up because they assume the film cuts out all the boring bits and adds much needed action and toilet humour...)
Look on the bright side, there is no way The Tolkien Estate will sell the rights to The Silmarillion-that's one car crash we are spared from seeing.
