When the movies are over, Will the craze for Tolkien still be around?

Well, I think the TRUE Tolkien fans will still be into it, much like the TRUE Star Wars fans are stil into Star Wars.<P>I just think after the movies die down a bit, then people won't buy so much LOTR merchendise because some people will follow whatever is popular for the time, and stop buying because it's not "cool" anymore.<BR>Which is sad, but I'll be happy knowing that some of us follow what we truely like instead of going with the crowd about it.<P>You can tell the people are just going to the movies because it's a new movie, or because a cute actor or something like that.
