IGNFF: Where are the home movies? Billy talked about all these home movies you guys did that he feels should be released…
MONAGHAN: Oh yeah, there's a bunch. Orlando's probably got 4 or 5 videocassettes, Billy's probably got about the same, I've probably got about 3 or 4, and also in the reshoots that we went to I've probably got about 7 or 8. Elijah had a video camera over there, Sean Astin… All in all, there's probably about 20 or 30 private tapes from us guys. But what will probably happen with that, because we have such a good relationship with Pete, is that at some point in the future – probably 10, 15 years or whatever – we'll probably all sit down and watch some old footage and Pete will say, "Ohhh, can I have that and can I use that?" And then they'll bring out a Commemorative 25 Years Anniversary Collector's Edition of Lord of the Rings that will have those guys, those little cherubs, running around in Wellington having fun.
IGNFF: Or you could just set up a 1-900 number and do Hobbits Gone Wild…
MONAGHAN: (laughing) Yeah!
I was just coming to link to it Kathy.

Kathy (or more properly, Dom) owes my dad a new keyboard and monitor.
That was some friggin' funny shit, yo.
So far, every interview with a Mippin is in the running for funniest ever.
I tried to read the Premiere article the other day, and dipped into the Dom profile and stopped because it was depressing -- thinking of him living in LA with no work while the other hobbits (not to mention that pesky elf) were busy was just so SAD.
But now I want to know what the rest said.
I know! I felt so sad for him.
Well, I'm back.
The matinee crowd was curiously quiet. I think they were actually standees. Or sittees, in this case, although suttee would have been more exciting. The only time anyone reacted at all was at Gimli's "That still counts as one!" line.
Billy Boyd? Still with the face, and the voice, and the eyes. Auugghh. Astin? More auuuggghhh. Wood? Yup.
Oh--someone asked what the round scar was on Frodo's torso. The gash was from Weathertop, I think the round wound was from Shelob's stinger. Which, actually, wrong. Spiders don't have stingers, they (the females, at least) have ovipositors. They bite to paralyse and liquefy their prey. No I have not suddenly turned into billytea.
I want this on dvd now. Right now, in my own little living room so I can replay and slo mo and otherwise obsessively watch it. Now.
I thought it was from the troll - - you know from Moria.
