These are great, and the last one is my favorite! "The incident with the taxicab driver..."
Re: Smaug

Re: Smaug
I think the au sounds like the au in Sauron, despite that Sauron is Elvish and Smaug isn't even Smaug's real name.

I was actually thinking of another interview where he first says smawg and then corrects himself, but yes, that's the way to pronounce Smaug
Re: Smaug
I like BC even better in person than in character. He's ridiculously charming. One can forgive the Norcs in the world for going ape-shit.

Re: Smaug
I should maybe edit my last remark to read "One can almost forgive..."

Re: Smaug
I see this in my mind but in these colours
And this I like for no particular reason than it looks so tactile, &, I like it, &, it gives a good idea of size ratio between Bilbo & Smaug

Re: Smaug
I kind of wish they had given Smaug some better lines now. And a bit less voice effects.
