...seat and the driver bent slightly with the exertion of pedaling the rutted tarmac, he could whisper into my ear without anyone noticing, let alone hearing. He told me that eight charred bodies from Kyaukse had arrived at the city morgue. "The government killed them!" he said in a Gollum-like hiss. "The government killed them...
...what mind-blowing shaking it was. At one point, Gollum-like male dancers crawled across the floor to their female dance partners, laying spread eagle on the floor.

Cringing and crafty, Gollum is the rebellious servant, subverting Sam's selfless impulses, trying to twist allegiance of the pallid, ailing Frodo away from his friend. (So poignant are Gollum's turbid emotions, and so persuasively is this computer critter integrated with the live performers, that he deserves a special acting Oscar...
