True. He got annoying sometimes. I love his bit in The Two Towers where he's talking to himself and when he's telling Sam to keep the taters. So funny!! :D

It was funny when he was arqueing with himself lol :)
 
I just kept thinking, why does this wretched creature bother to keep the remaining few hairs on his head? It's like seeing a bald guy combing the last two hairs over the top of his head in the attempt to be pathetically fashionable or kid himself he's actually got some hair on his head. :eek:

well in that cave he turned into that thingy and so he lost all of his hair and had to remaining :eek:
 
I like it when right before they saw the Oliphants (Or Mumakill) . "Whats taters, my precious, whats taters eh?" "PO - TATE - OES! boil 'em mash 'em stick em in a stew. With a nice lovely bowl of fried chips. " " We wants it raw, and wriggling. Fat hobbit keeps his nasty chips"
 
I don't understand Gollum's hairstyle. What is it about bald guys who attempt to look 'not bald' by leaving the last few strands on their heads?
 
All this hate for Gollum. I always found him amusing and also, pathetic. Not in the roll your eyes sense, but the pity sense.

Gollum was once Smeagol. He was once a Hobbit, a Stoorish Hobbit to be exact, but not very different from Frodo and Sam. And he was the fourth bearer of the ring. The evil power of the ring consumed Smeagol and caused him to kill his good friend. Now think about this...if Frodo let the ring take over him, he would have likely killed Sam and became a Gollum himself.
And the murder haunted him, but the ring haunted him more. The ring's power caused him to have a split personality. He retained Smeagol, the kind hearted hobbit, but Gollum who was as corrupted as the ring would show up as well. And since he lived all alone, he had only himself to talk to.

This makes him more a character to pity, rather then hate. He suffered from schizophrenia, perhaps was bi-polar as well. He was once a good person who was corrupted by evil, and every now and then, that good person tries to come out, but the evil won't let him win. He is a tragic character. I always like those kind.

yeah, and he answered himself as well. He was funny only in TTT, other than that he wasn't funny at all.

[does not think that is funny]
I reply to myself. cough cough cough

and to the post above. yeah
It was more the rings fault. But. He did not have the self control to stop it, that was his down fall
 
Yeah, the ring knows who is the weakest to corrupt. And when Gollum was no longer of use to it, it got away and found Bilbo Baggins, another person prone to weakness. And then later, Frodo, who in the end is a hero, but who himself was prone to weakness
 
In the books, Gollums connection to the ring was much more pronounced. Frodo made him swear by the Precious, and it was the precious that betrayed him to his death in the end.
