H2G2 Film Website

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."

  1. I don't know about Adams. by Power+Everywhere · · Score: 0, Troll

    Having characters called things like Slartibartfast and Zloat kind of makes me think he was taking stabs in the dark at writing a having a huge joke over on his readers/consumers.

    BLING BLING. Meet the architecture that's changing everything.

  2. Is it just me? by erick99 · · Score: 0, Troll
    I may well be the only person on the planet (or at least the only one over 40) who never read the orginal book. I did pop over to the website to see if it tells the viewer anything about the movie but it does not. I don't think it does. I do know, from the site, that Douglas Adams died three years ago but I don't know who he is. The author? This appears to be a web site that is very much for insiders.....

    Happy Trails

    Hello friend! You have returned! It is good to see your wit gracing the pages of Slashdot once again. Those biting criticisms and comments are welcome my friend. Are you one with Landru? Are you in the body?

  5. Re:Skip flash by Mmm+coffee · · Score: 2, Troll

    If I install Flash I'll be subjected to obtrusive and noisy ads that slow my system down while they download, load, and render. Moreover, what flash content is out there is not enough to justify having it on my system - 99% of its usage is unnecessary and a general bother.

    Flash is far from harmless, it's a major pain in the ass. I don't care if it gives me HGTTG movie info or the second coming of Jesus, keep that bother off my machine.

    *Misses the days when Javascript and Flash wern't even thoughts yet*

  6. what a joke. by Stumbles · · Score: 0, Troll

    What a POS site that cannot be viewed WITHOUT flash. What a pity.

  7. Typical. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    So typical of slashdot. If it's not a lunix story or Microsoft bashing, then it's some old sci-fi pulp that no one cares about. How about a story about Dick Cheney for once? Cheney has done more for the U.S., more for the world, and certainly more for slashdotters than some dead crackpot author.

    Oh, and propz to Halliburton too

    Although IMDB is usually quite accurate there are some descripencies. Check out peoplesprimary which is a community of H2G2 fans.
