Posted by michael on from the disused-lavatory dept.

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?

    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.

    People who buy a book only after it has become a major motion picture are tag-alongers not true-believers. Tag-alongers deserve noting but our ultimate scorn. True-believers have been there since the beginning and are worthy of our undying affection and respect. It is only the power of the true-believer that has allowed this book to become a major motion picture. Everybody else is a free-loader who can bring no insight or value to this proposition.

    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.

    > 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...
