Smeagol And Stuff

I just had an IDEA.

I waiting to get sleepy so I can sleep, so I put in The Hobbit 1, and I've just got to the Riddles in the Dark part. Gollum just guessed the egg riddle and said, "Grandma taught us to suck them," and now I'm wondering if Tolkien wrote anything else about Smeagol's childhood/adulthood up to the Ring, because that would be a gold mine. And it would be a spec-freaking-tacular movie. There is LITERALLY nothing Andy Serkis can't do.

Actually, he probably can't make mashed potatoes come out of his belly button, so never mind. But then, I wouldn't be surprised if he could.

But that would make an awesome book/movie. Not Andy Serkis shooting mashed potatoes out of his belly button (although that would also be cool), I mean Gollum/Smeagol's history. Normally, I don't care for villains with tragic backstories that make you feel sorry for them; I like classic villains who are just plain evil and you hate their very innards and you're the happiest person on the planet when they die. But with Smeagol, it'd be interesting to know more, 'cause he's such a complicated character.

While I'm on the subject, I think it'd be cool if in the last Hobbit movie, it showed Bilbo back at Bag End teaching baby Sam Gamgee how to read, because in the Fellowship book, Sam (or it might've been the Gaffer, I forget) says Bilbo taught Sam how to read. If they show a teeny bit of that in the last Hobbit movie, it'd be the most brilliant thing ever and my life would be complete.

I just found a thing on Pinterest that said "Being a geek is all about your own personal level of enthusiasm...if you like something so much that a casual mention of it makes your whole being light up like a halogen lamp...you are a geek." Haha! I'm not crazy! I'm not the only one! A lot of times, I've had to say in my head "Elizabeth...it's NOT REAL." But then I automatically instantly think "BAHA, screw you, it is real!"

I'm a bit rude. Especially in my head. And I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight!
