Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

[Othello Harrington]

What in the name of "42" is going on here?

No discussion on this?


Anyone else interested?

i'm hoping to see it once it comes out - but i might be too busy to catch it first weekend. Looking forward to it.

I'm 99.9% certain there was a thread about it earlier, that could have found with the search function. Either that or I have very boring dreams.

I love the books but am usually disappointed by movie translations.. (Obvious exception - LotR) I'm worried about Mos Def, the trailer looks mediocre, but I have high hopes.

The humour in the books isn't really that visual. A lot of the laughs come from his manipulation of language. Without decent delivery, the jokes could fall flat.

[Othello Harrington]

I to am looking forward to it, however I am TRYING not to get my hopes up.

I just can't see Mos Def as Ford, it just does not feel right...

I'll stick to reading the books.

Im 100% sure there was a thread:

I bought the big compendium last year to rearead them all before the movie came out, but sadly I havent gotten around to it

[EvilMog]

I know NOTHING about this book or movie. I'm willing to bet lots of other people don't either.

[Othello Harrington]

That is probably true, however, you should.

Good, Good, stuff.

**If you are able to understand the humor

"Are you hear to save me"
"No, you're a no good dumbo nothing"

it's been a while since I read the book (hence the paraphrase) but I need to do so soon.

Anybody know where I can purchase disc's of the original radio show?

[Dolemite]

The first book was amazing, but I got less and less into the series with each sequel. I didn't even read Mostly Harmless. I thought Adam's humor was getting more and more forced with each book.

Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to the movie.

[Othello Harrington]

Yeah, i agree the series dried off towards the end.

From what I hear, the radio program was awesome.

Also, have a good trip, you must try Latanka's (sp?) on the big island, incredible food.
