More on H2G2, Including an Early Review

mwilli writes "Ain't It Cool has an early review of the upcoming Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. Along with the review is a short video showing Arthur, Ford, Zaphod, and Trillian and some pictures. Also, 'I understand that in the movie, Zaphod's second head is inside his nostril. And this all ties in with the increased prominence of the Church Of Arkleseizure in the movie (a race with fifty noses, and the first to develop the aerosol deodorant before the wheel) and their leader John Malkovich, who also has a second head, and Zaphod's unwillingness to sneeze.'"

42nd post

(Sorry, couldn't resist, gotta read that book though)

I would be disappointed.

I personally would be very disappointed if it WERE completely like the book. If there is anything that is consistant about the evolution of the Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy, it is its inconsistancy from one version to the next.

I would be very disappointed if the movie failed to achieve the level of inconsistancy that we have all come to expect.

;)

There's a problem. Expect a call from CamTim

I have noticed a severe problem in the timing of your post. You say that it is the 42nd post while in fact it is among to first 10 posts to this story. There is only one explanation, and we are not amused.

It is quite clearly this kind of senseless mucking about in the space time continuim that has caused so many problems in the universe today (and yesterday and tomorrow). We at the Campaign for Real Time will not stand for this blatant disregard for historical preservation, by which we mean actually preserving history itself and not only its relics.

You sir may expect a call for our lawyers. I certainly hope you had the foresight during your forrays into the past to deposit a few cents in a high interest bank account because you will need that money.

Have a nice diurnal anomoly.

And don't panic.

Just a quick story. Several years ago I had the misfortune to work for a rather a large but crap european company. A fellow contractor reached his limit and decided to quit. Just before leaving the building, he mailed the _entire_ and I mean entire company mailing lists, staff, clients, suppliers, everyone with the message "So long and thanks for all the fish".

Shortly afterwards the mailservers melted under all the "Fish? what fish?" responses. Nice.

But he does look depressed! See the sad little triangles he has on the lower half of his droopy head!

There aren't a whole lot of stories where a post like this could get modded informative, but it works here.

Any story that begins with the destruction of the Earth, almost has to be good.

I think you'll find that all of the material in that book has been published...

I always imagined that the inside of his head was a dimensional pocket similar to the Tardis in Dr Who.
