Slashdot Mirror
H2G2 Film Website
tplayford writes "On the third anniversary of Douglas Adams death, the makers of the 'Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy' film have released their website, with a photo of the whole crew and a blog. I'm trying not to panic, but I just can't wait for the film to come out."
The new movie starts with "Click here to download the Flash Plug-In". I've seen that a lot, is that a new film studio?
I like playing spot the black guy in the photo. It keeps me occupied for hours.
Deep Thought.
Not a very interesting site...
Just a button you can't push!?!?!
That's never a good sign.
I wonder what the three guys in the front of the photo do that allow them to wear blue fuzzy slippers?!
What you saw a few years ago was a BBC TV miniseries. It had a budget of approximately 3 dollars (US).
The new film is a hollywood production.
5,233,001 to 1 against... and falling!
mostly.
NO! You must always Duck and Cover(TM) when you see the flash!
HAND.
You gotta give credit where credit is due! That lifelike prosthetic head and third arm Zaphod wore around certainly constituted all three of those dollars by themselves!
Mostly Harmless
"what is the probability of hollywood trashing this?"

Hate to break it to you all, but there isn't anyone in that staff pic with 2 heads. There's no way they can make this flick w/out the coolest guy in the universe!
-- In Soviet Russia, radio listens to YOU!
The name "Slartibartfast" was chosen because the person who typed out the copies of the script for the recording of the radio show objected to having to type out long silly names. So he deliberately chose a very long and very silly name for a fairly major character.
Other examples of this phenomenon are:
- LOTR (obviously)
- Harry Potter (When did you read Sorcerer's Stone)
- My Slashdot ID is lower than yours (Sub-groups here are 3-digit, 4-5 digit, low 6 digit IDs)
- People who had to watch Soprano's Season 1 after Season 2.
- People who first watched the Matrix on DVD.
- Anyone born after Carter left office.
Apparently, the comic book scene (which I know nothing about), is chock-full of this ninniness too. The list could go on. My lunch break, alas, can not.sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
Is that the one where Harry and Hermione invite Ron to join them for... No, nope, that's just wrong, must get image out of my head.
When did you read Sorcerer's Stone
When it was Philosopher's Stone.
If a square is really a rhombus, why aren't all triangles purple?
Hang on - I'm supposed to be designing the fjords...
Who visualizes like this? And how obvious is it, once stated, that that's exactly the right visual simile? Douglas Adams had a command of the English language both forwards and backwards. It's a shame we won't be getting any new material in this lifetime.

The UCC was amended in 1993.
4398274 UCC 12.432432 (West 1995) now reads in relevant part:
"(b) In the event that the aforementioned red button bears a notice requesting the public not to press it, the observer, required to push said button under subsection (a) of this section, is hereby required to press it repeatedly until the result of said presses is known; but
(c) the presser may for a reasonable period delay pressing said button as required under subsection (a) of this section, if said delay would effect a comedic purpose, including, but not limited to, chattering teeth, protruding eyes, bulging veins, or shaking limbs, caused by the stress of resisting temptation or the anticipation resulting from such delay."

> One bad sign, this is the design for Marvin. Ick.
No, no, NOOOOOO!! They got it all *wrong*! Marvin's tall, dammit! I've been listening to the album-length BBC production of Hitch-Hiker's for over *twenty* years now, I *know* what Marvin sounds like, and *HE SOUNDS TALL!*
Oh man, this is just going to mess with my head...
...to play Zaphod.
Maybe Alec Baldwin?
No, wait. Sorry. He's two-faced.

And don't forget your towel !! Ducking and covering is all fine and well, but if you can't then drape your towel over your head, you will still be eaten by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. Lots of good ducking 'n' covering will have done you then!
