then they ruined his amazing performance with shitty CGI
edit: holy fanboy downvotes.. so you all seriously feel the CGI was better than if they had a costume and make-up and let him do his thing? goddamn… CGI is cheap labor that goes to the lowest bidder.. an actual costume/make-up/acting is so much more of an art.. that is sadly going away.
Love the movies! Love Andy Serkis’s performance in them! Should have won an oscar!
BUT the book’s gollum got his name from the sound he made when he swallowed, not coughed.

LOTR extended DVD extras are the gold standard. Just insane amounts of amazing documentaries.
Watch this video from the start. Vigo trap story is the best thing ever.
God this is awesome. “Mine. My own. My precious gob of spit.”
imagine the poops from the smeagol juice
Andy Serkis seems like a very friendly and approachable guy.
That’s awesome! Did he get the part?
That just shows how strong LOTR was, and will be for times to come.
talk about method acting
*boom* new business idea, smeagol juice!
Amazing. This would fit in over at /r/ArtisanVideos

Fine I’ll watch the lord of the rings today.
He even looks like Smeagol.
“*IF* we got Frodo wrong, *IF* we cast the wrong actor as Frodo, imagine the disaster these films would be.”
*cough*
he’s one of the best character actors ever.
Oh man the dedication…

Whenever i see the lord of the rings i always hate all the scenes that include Gollum…
I dont know why. i just feel like (and quite often) skipping those scenes.
It’s not coz its bad acted or anything.. it’s just…
i wish we didn’t see him crumble the bread and such. i’d rather have him be a mystery to the viewer, so that we have to make up our minds.
instead im annoyed that frodo is a blind idiot and that sam sees everything
