I think Gollum sometimes looks like a lizard.

I think they made Gollum way too cute. In that one scene where he's on all fours, he looks up at Frodo in that same adoring way a dog looks at its master.

Well, he did act like a little puppy sometimes to get what he wanted. I think they made him look like that because Jackson wanted people to feel sorry for him a little bit. It might have worked a little too well.

Hmm, I never really saw a bus in Gollum. I saw a sports car on occasion, sometimes a stretch limo but never really a bus.

Otherwise one might also truly believe him when he said that "Buckleberry Ferry!" was the best line in the entire movie

And that he really did have his foot pierced by a 'splinter made of titanium' while filming the dock scene in the Shire.

I would avoid taking anthing that Dominic Monaghan says about Gollum seriously. He's an actor, and not a Tolkien scholar. He's just trying to say that Gollum is a character with different personalities.

I agree that Gollum was waaaaaay too cute. He made me angrier as a cute little grovelling lizard (with the same fingernails as Elijah Wood) than in the book, where I imagined him to be a little creepier.

And tho Dom might just be an actor... he was right about the cat/frog/dog part. If not the bus.
