» ARCHIVES LA Press Roundtable     |     04 December 2003 Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd came into our room next, accompanied by an aide who held a tray full of food. Dominic must not be a morning person. He looked positively huddled in his seat, and rarely looked up at us, even when answering questions. He mostly looked at his food. One of the reporters in our room was a Japanese woman, and she stared at Dominic's tray with amusement. “You eat Japanese food?” she asked. “Hai,” said Dominic. “Arigato.” At a certain point during the interview, Dominic tried to separate two pieces of seaweed. The Japanese reporter offered to separate it for him, and he handed it to her. She handed it back in several pieces, and Dominic bowed a little and said “Arigato!” again. At another point during the interview, Billy Boyd lifted the cover of Dominic's rice bowl and snitched several grains. This garnered the first fully awake reaction from Dominic. Dominic glared at Billy. Billy opened his eyes widely and innocently. “That's nice,” muttered Dominic. I asked Dominic which of his many cut scenes he most wanted to see in the Extended DVD. “Any of them, really,” said Dominic, chewing seaweed. “Twelve of my scenes were cut.” I also asked about the inspiration behind the song Half-fling from the album Pandemoniumfromamerica . “We've started to get questions about that? Amazing,” Dominic said to Billy. “The song is based on an invented language that Elijah and I have. We speak it when we're tired.” Dominic gave an example, a falsetto squeek that sounded like Chipmunks gibberish. Dominic denied that the song was an ironic send up of Hobbit life, despite the name. “Viggo named it,” Dominic said. Dominic also wore a Carbon Neutral t-shirt, and asked that we all check it out. Billy talked about the difference between Peter Jackson & Peter Weir, and said that with both of them, they were visionary and experimental, etc. etc. Basically, he took the opportunity to praise them both. Billy also talked about the maturation of Pippin , and the changes he goes through in Return of the King – changes that are spoilers, really, so I won't go into them here. Dominic ended by grabbing Billy into a huge cuddle. “I get to spend Christmas and New Year with Billy!” “Scotland?” I asked. “The Lake District,” said Billy. “Will you be hunting again?” “Perhaps we'll try fishing this time!” [ source: TORn ] [ main | media | archives ] CURRENT PROJECTS • I Sell The Dead (2008) Official Site Character: Arthur Blake • X-Men Origins: Wolverine (05/01/2009) Character: Barnell Bohusk/Beak • Pet (2009) Character: Seth GALLERY UPDATES        FEATURED MEDIA  Mad TV  Date: 26 April 2008  Credit: Lisa  Size: 160.0 mb  [ download ] HOT TOPICS Favourite Piece From Dom's Collection? 5 Questions for Dom Dear Dom...
