Pure, pure sex! Never has a dragon been so sexy before!! He could have just talked to the dwarves at the start. With that voice I'd give up a mountain full of gold!!!

And a small clip of Martin promoting " The Desolation of Smaug".
So he will be checking on all of us??
Can I add that he looks really, really good there...

Jesus, so I have always proniounced it incorrectly...I always say Smorg, but it is in fact Smowg!

Wow, I'm speechless!! It's so wonderful to see, how much Martin becomes to Bilbo.

For once easy for us Germans. It is how we would pronounce it.

My German speaking son always laughs at my dyslexic daughter, who always writes her nouns the German way!

I did swoon mightily when we finally hear the Dragon of sex speak. But can we also take amoment to appreciate Martin's voice at the start of the trailer...........pretty sexy little Hobbit.

Hehe, this is just how I pronounced it when I was little, until someone told me it was "Smowg", but you are right "Smorg" makes more sense.
But I guess there is a reason for how it is pronounced, since Tolkien wasn't one to leave anything to chance. An older family member of mine studied in Oxford while he was still professor there. He used to sit in a pub and read out of his works sometimes. Otherwise he wasn't really approachable.
Yes, I love hearing Martin's voice at the beginning of the trailer!

He is just so hilarious! His humour is hilarious, his jacket is hilarious, the whole man is hilarious! I love him more and more...!
And can I just say that I'm quite curious to hear more of Smaug's voice... in this trailer it sounded a bit too much on the computer processed side and a bit too little like Benedict... which is probably unavoidable. Just saying. At this point it does not really blow me away.
...okay, then again, his "don't be shy" is indeed pretty sexy.

If you didn't know about the pronunciation, I'm very surprised. The name is said at least twice in the first movie, by older Bilbo and Thorin, possibly again. And the Comic Con video greeting, Ben says the name too. Please tell me you saw at least one of these!

Ooooh! He'll be checking on all of us hm? *giggles* I've got to keep an eye out then and try not to make a total fool of myself by jumping up and down and squealing!

Details about new scenes in the Extended Edition of AUJ, sounds really great!

Hey…. apparently there's another neat Hobbit feature for Empire Magazine's December issue! Here's the cover, and a blurb from the inside I found on tumblr:
(is it just me, or Martin look a little more photoshopped there?)
(some of the cast, speaking on Smaug - some great comments!)
Offline
He definitely looks photoshopped (to me), but I guess that's not really unusual these days.
And thanks for the link to those comments... "I smell you, thief"... oh yes!

I can't wait to see Fili and Kili again
