'He's dreaming now,' said Tweedledee: 'and what do you think he's dreaming about?'
Sinister said 'Nobody can guess that.'
'Why, about you!' Tweedledee exclaimed, clapping his hands triumphantly. 'And if PJ left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?'
'Where I am now, of course,' said Sinister.
'Not you!' Tweedledee retorted contemptuously. 'You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream!'
'If that there PJ was to wake,' added Tweedledum, 'you'd go out — bang! — just like a candle!'
'I shouldn't!' Sinister exclaimed indignantly. 'Besides, if I'm only a sort of thing in his dream, what are you, I should like to know?'
'Ditto' said Tweedledum.
'Ditto, ditto!' cried Tweedledee
He shouted this so loud that Sinister couldn't help saying, 'Hush! You'll be waking him, I'm afraid, if you make so much noise.'
'Well, it no use your talking about waking him,' said Tweedledum, 'when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real.'
'I am real!' said Sinister and began to cry.
'You won't make yourself a bit realler by crying,' Tweedledee remarked: 'there's nothing to cry about.'
'If I wasn't real,' Sinister said — half-laughing through his tears, it all seemed so ridiculous — 'I shouldn't be able to cry.'
'I hope you don't suppose those are real tears?' Tweedledum interrupted in a tone of great contempt.
'I know they're talking nonsense,' Sinister thought to himself: 'and it's foolish to cry about it.' So he brushed away his tears, and went on as cheerfully as he could.

I did spot two other spoilers in the Sibley guide - well, one definite one regarding the troll scene, the other in the interview with Barry Humphries which just could have been Humphries' joking around. If not, it's yet another example of PJ's toilet humour and is going to have many throwing up ther hands in disgust...
Which is why I haven't revealed it as yet. I'd like to see what you reckon on it first, DLB!

Have convinced me that there will be lots of toilet and gross-out humor in the films, and that they will ultimately be a lot worse than I was expecting. My enthusiasm for the films is at an all-time low.

My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit"
5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck
4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot
3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan
2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate
1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!

Why these spoilers are being cryptically referred to, yet not revealed?
The book is not available on this side of the pond yet. So please, do tell what you've read about Bifur and the Great Goblin!

I'll let you do the honours and reveal the spoilers!
(Mind you, surely it has significant impact on how the scene plays out in the book? As in, how can Gandalf start the argument over the best way to cook the Dwarves?)

The spoilers are:
The Goblin kings throne is also a toilet - there is a hole in it so he can do his business
The 3 Trolls tie up a number of the Dwarves and spit roast them.

I wanted a second opinion on the Great Goblin because it's hard to be sure it's not a wind-up...
Here's the quote from the interview with Barry Humphries in the Sibley Official Movie Guide:
Of the throne itself, Barry notes: "Theres a hole in the seat, so it is both a throne and a toilet. The Goblin King is, among other things, grossly incontinent so if he hears the call of nature it doesn't need to interrupt his conversation and, from time to time, a beautifully crafted urn beneath the throne receives a compliment of matter from the Goblin King, generally speaking of ill-digested Dwarf."
Bonus spoiler: Barry also goes on to say that he was particularly gratified to discover that the Great Goblin has a song to sing:
"I'm convinced that it will be a huge hit," he says. "It will top the charts, as the young folk would express it. It could even go platinum. It is a song of extreme aggression: a hate-filled number, which the children will enjoy and senior citizens will appreciate. It's entirely about destruction, death and torture. But I try to do it in a sympathetic way. I've tried, as a matter of fact, to bring out the loveable side of my character - although this attempt has been a total failure."
Since the whole tone of the interview is conducted in this vein, I leave it up to our esteemed members to decide whether Mr Humphries is pulling anyone's leg here...

LOL... Besides I think it takes away from the menacing appearance of the orcs/Goblins IMO. So that's a change I can live with non singing orcs/goblins

And then throw crap all over it!
Here, we have what is to my mind some wonderful news that the goblins will, in fact, sing. Followed by some truly atrocious news that the Great Goblin will (poop) and talk at the same time.
To be perfectly honest, I am not surprised in the least! With Peter Jackson, you usually get both music and feces!

But probably exaggerating them slightly. I think it will be interesting to hear the Great Goblin sing, especially if it is "Snap! Clap! The black crack" song.
