Well, right now the mentioning of "Lord of the Rings" will open nearly any door. It will feel strange when the tide changes again and people concentrate on the next thing.<P>Many fans have been there before 1995 (Jackson´s first planning) and many will stay after 2005 (ultimate DVD edition).<P>But it will feel strange to see the books turning up in masses at bookstores again, and to have all the action figures at garage sales, and the posters and pictures torn down, etc.<P>And what would Tolkien say? Besides: "Get a life for yourself", he would probably add smiling: "Have faith, little one."
