If this is to end in fire, then we all burn together.

A couple of days ago was the special worldwide fan event for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which is available to watch, starting at around twelve minutes.

The event was hosted by Anderson Cooper, and it featured Peter Jackson and the cast from various locations where fans all gathered at to ask questions regarding the upcoming film, along with getting an exclusive 20 minute look at the film itself after the event was done recording (someone who attended gave their non-spoilery recap of it, basically a reassurance of how awesome it will be for the rest of us come December.) Plus, the rest of us were treated with not only a new production video, but also a brand new trailer with new footage. And, personally speaking, out of all the trailers I think this is probably the best one, without a doubt.

( The Lord of Silver Fountains, the King of Carven Stone; the King beneath the mountain shall come into his own, and the bells shall ring in gladness at the mountain king's return. But all will fail in sadness, and the lake will shine and burn. )

All the fangirl enthusiasm for this movie, I have it. I have just fallen head-over-heels with this trilogy, this story, and this fandom, and it's not stopping anytime soon. ♥
