You know I can't help but think that, whilst suffering the slings and arrows of the Tolkien fanatics (not my word, it was used here), PJ will be somewhat comforted by the fact that his trilogy is very likely to be the highest grossing trilogy in movie history, with tons of critical acclaim, the universal acclaim of his team of actors, a hatful of awards, and has resulted in his being paid $20 million plus 20% of the gross for doing King Kong (which has always been his dream project anyway and which no-one would finance him for before LOTR).<BR>Not to mention all the money he has made out of these films of course.<P>Yep, I think he will feel that the positives outweigh the negatives.<P>Let's not forget that for most of the movie going public, 4 years ago it was "Peter who?"
