In light of the Klingo-dwarf revelation, I think its obvious that Leonard Nimoy must play the Elvenking and William Shatner should play Bard.

The resulting scene in which Thranduil and Bard negotiate with Bilbo for the Arkenstone would go rather like this.

While Bard's defeat of Smaug will probably end up resembling this.

Attempting to change the subject from sexual confusion between Elves and Maiar - thank you, davem, for posting the fan trailer, in my opinion it's much better than the original.
Especially Gandalf's pretty much pointless recital of the Dwarves' names bothered me.

The Dwarves still make me think of this.

John Travolta ought to get an eagle costume in this and be CGI'd carrying Bilbo in his talons.

So, I was thinking (as I often do), the movie Bifur has a bit of an axe embedded in his head -- were you aware that the word "bifurcate" means the splitting of a main body into two parts? I wonder if the splitting of Bifur's skull is a subtle allusion to the like word?

Taken one step further, can PJ even be that subtle?

Subtle? at least often enough I think Jackson rather prefers to hit his viewers on the head...

... waitamminit! that might explain things afterall
