I am so pumped!!!!!!! Everything has connections with everything now - just imagine the awesome crossovers there will be.

So happy for Martin ofcourse. He so very much deserves this! Now... I really want BC to play Smaug but I've heard that they've got Bill Nighy for the job? Love BN, ofcourse, and there's a hitchhiker connection there, but I would so have loved BC more, especially since BC has apparently expressed an interest to play Smaug

I was seriously only thinking yesterday: Now they can invite MF to RingCon next year :O OMG!!! :D He should bring his English friend then XD

Haha I tweeted that yesterday immediately after I heard he was going to be Bilbo XD

I vote Benedict Cumberbatch for the voice of Smaug!!! Would be his dream role after all XD

:D

Bill Nighy would be alright I guess... :P (I love him, but BC a wee bit more :D)

That would be so awesome for you guys if he could go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahahaha you were quick of the mark!!!!

Alan Rickman would've been my 2nd choice for Smaug, but BN's still cool, ofcourse. Not points for guessing my first choice.

Just a Wee bit more????????? :D

Definately :D I doubt it though. The main characters never do anything like that. I'm afraid he'd be hoarded :S

haha yes I was XD I had already thought of it, as I'm reading The Hobbit and I wasn't sure anymore if Smaug talked (read it when I was 16 or something), so when I came upon the part and he started talking, I was like: YES BENNY YES!!! And then Martin got announced, and my head ran away with me XD

Ooooh yes, Alan Rickman! But Benny can do Alan Rickman, so I still vote Benny too XD

LOL I was understating, majorly :D

You'll incapacitate him in your excitement before he'll ever get a change to play the role =p

I need to reread the hobbit. I only have very vague memories of the plot. =p

His impersonations of Alan Rickman always make me giggle.

I've just brought The Hobbit from thebookdespository, along with the complete Sherlock Holmes. The next couple of months certainly won't be boring!!!! :D

YESSSS!!! Awesome!! :D I've also bought a few Sherlock Holmes stories a while back, but there are so many :O So I don't have the complete set yet. Have you ever read the stories before? I hadn't, and I'm really liking it :D Slow going though. Want to have something to read till autumn next year LOL

Oh I've read them all but I just don't own all the stories. My thinking is that now I'm well and truly involved in the fandom, I should really just have a hardcopy of the books on hand ;D

There's a lot but I find them really easy to read. Then again, English in my first language so ;D

Oh I know what you mean :D same here :D

I actually find them quite difficult to read as there are often words in them that I'm like: Whah.. But yeah, English isn't my first language, but I studied it though, so I feel like I should have no trouble with it LOL

Yeah but I mean, it's Sherlock Holmes. Of course you would expect weird preposterous words sometimes.

Case in point: I had no idea what Meretricious meant.

Yeah I guess that's true :)

LOL I could deduce it from the context, but had never heard it before XD Happy New Year indeed :D
