I don't remember seeing an answer--are extended Hobbits predicted?
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think so, yes. I dimly recall reading somewhere that extended editions are planned.
Also, they'd be stupid not to.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
OMG. What could possibly have been left on the cutting room floor?

OK, having seen it again, unless there's actually Cumbervoice mixed in with the dragon's roar, I'm going to have to say that he was credited because he's CUMBERBATCH.
I mean, the Necromancer's outline could've been Stephen Colbert.

It's also possible he was credited for part 1 back when it was part 1 of 2, and so blah blah contractcakes, his name's in the list whether he's in the movie or not.

In the credits, which I have open in another window, he's credited as Necromancer. It's in between Goblin Scribe and Dwarf Miner in the bottom right hand side of the credits screen. You can see it at 2:42:21 on the DVD.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm on the fence about getting the theatrical release versus waiting for the extended edition. I did the latter for LotR, but with The Hobbit I already felt like the theatrical release was a little too long, so I'm not sure that more of it is really the best idea.

We watched Les Miserables last night. Admittedly it wasn't the best viewing experience ever, as Mal whined pretty much throughout the whole thing (hey, no one forced him to watch it), but I was decidedly meh.
It was neat to hear different actors' interpretations of the music, and there was some fun casting (although not Russell Crowe, dude, horribly miscast), but ultimately I think I agree with The Hulk - Get the camera out of their noses!
I also watched Room 237 Friday night. It's a pretty good documentary, which subtly slides its own thesis in while purporting to report other people's interpretations of The Shining. It also changed my mind a little bit about the whole cinematic kabbalah exercise of Shining interpretation, and confirmed my belief that Kubrick was a mad genius.
