The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Trailer #2

  Earlier this morning Warner Bros. released The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug  second movie trailer and this time we get to see more of Thorin and HEAR  Benedict Cumberbatch's computer enhanced voice as Smaug the Worm (Dragon).                                                                                           

 After having watched the movie trailer about a half dozen times or so, it has left me with a couple of thoughts at the moment.
1) Desolation of Smaug does not need to be shown in 3D because in normal 2D I want to jump out of my skin.

2) I can not believe I am going to make this admission, but for the first time since Gremilins, Smaug makes me want to go to the movie theater and watch it. Whether I will or not is another matter.

  My feeling is that The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is going to be so much better than The Hobbit that it leaves me with this question : If The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is this good, On what scale of good is There and Back Again going to be?

                                               

Vote in the Anglo Fan Tournament, Men of 2013 : Round 1 Richard Armitage vs Benedict Cumberbatch

BBC America is running its annual tournament on the sexiest or most preferred Englishman, with a few Irishmen thrown in because of London cred. Last year's winner was Tom Hiddleston and he is defending his title against 31 other men starting with Benedict Cumberbatch and Richard Armitage. For my personal taste, with this pairing to choose from right off the bat, BBC America is being a total bastard because I love both men beyond comprehension & is making me go eeny, meemy, miny, moe. I did pick Richard first but Benedict is in the lead with 57.26%  and Richard has 42.74%. So go and make your choice and I hope you have an easier time of it than me.
