Kind of an insult to Gollum when you think about it.

The real insult is a political leader who thinks he should be immune to mockery.

Way more than a stretch saying that they look alike.

True. But in that one pic old Eddie sure does look like an idiot!

What's also sad is that there are Gollum experts.

Gollum was not inherently a bad guy. The Ring turned him into the equivalent of a drug addict. All the possessors of the Rings, even the Nazgul and the Dwarf-kings, are tragic figures because whatever they were before as individuals was destroyed by the malice inside the Rings. The real thing about the story is that Frodo, in the last moments at Mount Doom, because the Ring claimed him as much as it did Gollum. Paradoxically, despite his status as an addict, if Gollum hadn't been there to stop Frodo and steal the Ring back then Sauron would have won.

Looking for a nice gov't contract check there Thanos? Maybe get paid in Turkish Delight?

Maybe I could get a nice big $200K grant from the new government for a study of the effects of depression on geeks who have to sell off all their stuff to survive. They'll bury me with my Tolkien books though. I'd sooner die first than give those up.

I LOVE Turkish delight! One of my friends taught me how to make it and I use crabapples to make candies for Christmas gifts! My trick is I mix powdered sugar with corn starch for the powder and it tastes a little better!

You can definitely see the family resemblance to bad the tree only had one branch.

There is a bit of a resemblance to Mr Ed,but what a touchy guy no sense of humor. It could have been worse they could have compared to Jabba the Hutt or Count Vladimir Horkonnen from Dune.
