AHHH.
My Precious...yes..little hobbits have my precious...
I loved the DVD on the Two Towers. I thought Serkis
was fantastic.
This makes me think of the mannerisms of Professor Mad
Eye Moody. I think of him as a mutant combination of
John Wayne (from True Grit) meets Gollum. I would
love to be on the set of the Goblet of Fire!
I practice with my own magical eye at home to keep the
three boys in line, ya know. He quickly turns and
shouts "exspelliarmus" and a cookie goes flying out of
Matthew's hands from across the room. BWAHAHAHAHA!
