Conversations with Smaug--or, rather, with Benedict Cumberbatch! =)

You're welcome! I thought you'd all get a kick out of that video. =)

And speaking of videos, here's another one!

I haven't seen that one about recording the speech backwards. It reminds me of times when I have goofed around with my computer and my microphone to see if I could say things backwards well enough that it sounded right when I reversed it to play forwards.

Clever though Benedict is...
Not as impressive as Chris Martin having to sing backwards the entire lyrics of whichever Coldplay song it is, where they recorded the video backwards.

What are you referring to? Is that a scene in a movie or a TV show?

It's impressive enough, I'd say. It's difficult enough to speak or sing backwards in English--forget trying to do it backwards in a foreign language!

It's for a Coldplay dvd!

**Posted by kgreen20** May 22, 2016 5:57 pm

I've never seen it. Is it a British TV show?

**Posted by besleybean** May 22, 2016 5:58 pm

No, they are a rock band and it was for one of their dvds!

**Posted by kgreen20** May 29, 2016 4:54 pm

Oh, I see. I've never heard of them. A British rock band, I take it?

**Posted by besleybean** May 29, 2016 4:55 pm

Oh yes and extremely famous...I thought internationally.
But obviously not!

**Posted by kgreen20** May 29, 2016 4:57 pm

Well, there's a lot of singers and bands I've never heard of. Especially the ones from other countries.

With that said, Benedict did a remarkable job of portraying the dragon, Smaug.

Isn't it, though?! =)
