I always thought Gollum was brilliant. Cutting edge CGI with the motion capture and voice of Andy Serkis. The whole dual personality thing.  
And it all could have went so wrong. It could have been Jar-Jar Smeagol.

I love Crystal the monkey. I have met a few domesticated monkeys, and mostly I don’t like monkeys. But Crystal seems uniquely entertaining and interesting. I’d like to have lunch with her, if she wouldn’t throw poo at me.
