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

Most of the people who became "fans" following the movies won't stick around (well, I am), but the select few of us here will always stay true. LotR will probably be known better for PJ's ideas rather than for Tolkien's original ones because--let's face it--plenty of people don't even understand the movies, let alone the amateur masterpiece of a British perfectionist. At least we'll all have more company.
