Whether it is successful or a flop matters little to me - although, I might enjoy an irritable "I told ya so" if Tauriel and Legolas surf Smaug. In any case, people will still be reading the books a century from now, while movies will be an extinct pastime, like listening to a wax cylinder on a Victrola. In a hundred years one may well be able to put on some cyber-helmet space-age thingy and actually walk through a Middle-earth hologram. Then again, no one may be able to read in a hundred years. Bah!
