Absolutely! I just got through watching the extended version of the Two Towers and can't wait for the next installment.
The way I look at these Hollywood idiots is that when they make such a spectacle of themselves that I can't see past their politics to their acting to the extent that the net effect is a movie eclipsed by the persona of the performers, then I'll stay home, but this movie (trilogy) is an artistic masterpiece such as has never before graced the big screen and the whiney musings off screen of an incredibly good actor, who is but one of thouseands who worked diligently at the creation of a brilliant production, is not going to dampen my enthusiasm in the least.
