    so, the time rapidly approaches for the film version of hitchhiker's guide to be released. are you
    1) a mushroom? 2)ridiculously excited 3) clueless as to what i'm on about 4) petrified that a babel fish will eat your brain 5) even more petrified that the movie will wreck your happy memories by ruining adams' work? 6) already wearing your bathrobe in antici...pation? 42) eating dirt?

    discuss/shout at each other.
    or, in other words, banter away.

    I'd have to go for option 5 there, though it should be good. I'm not convinced by the casting...

    EDIT: Heh heh.. like it!

    IMO Mos Def as ford is a very stupid decision. He's only put in for the sake of being PC, he doesn't fit the part at all. Arthur Dent is a firmly normal person (to begin with), and considering the period of the Guide, it would have been highly abnormal for him to have been such a good friend with a black man

    Still looking forward to it though. Will probably bus up to Dublin with bath robe to go see it....oh, and 12456

    Oops. Delete that post someone. I was experimenting with "stuff" and I meant to click preview instead of submit. How embarassing.

    You can have a Ford any colour you like as long as it's black...

    I'm just afraid that unexpecting cinema goers may shocked to death ten minutes into the movie by the vileness of the Vogon poetry.

    Film versions inevitably make me want to die so the Vogon poetry will probably be welcome. Although I would like to be there at the end to throw scale model of the restaurant at the end of the universe at the ushers when they try to make us leave.

    Yeah, I feel it's gonna be a lot like LOTR, with sections cut out left, right, center. Though I doubt it could seriously damage my view of the novels.

    It would appear (due to trailer on www.hitchhikermovie.com) that it's just the 1st film

    How and ever, it would also appear (from www.imdb.com) that none of the actors are signed on to do Restaurant, or any of the other books, so nnyarghh!

    On viewing the trailer... no. No to going to see it. Why is Zaphod in possession of only one head? And why are the white robots so short and unthreatening? And just why, in general?

    Give me a 5 and a 6 (yes I know I'm a bit of a walking paradox. And of course, a 42. I'm sure it will be entirely inaccurate, as the trailer has already shown it to be, but still, I'm looking forward to it.
