When the movies are over, Will the craze for Tolkien still be around? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Chill out man! Some people can't answer right now because they are busy standing in line for the midnight showing while wearing some possibly uncomfortable costumes. Well in my opinion LOTR will go down in history like Star Wars. Yes I know some of you don't like Star Wars but face it everyone knows what it is. I also think that the movies made Tolkien's works more known. Before the movie only people who liked to read knew what LOTR was but now everyone knows. When it comes to PJ getting all the credit I say not a chance. True some people may start calling it PJ's LOTR but I doubt this will make Tolkien lost forever.
