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.'"

    eScrew
    Welcome to eScrew!

    eScrew is eScrew and this is eScrew story. eScrew will tell you eScrew
    story if you promise eScrew to consider eScrew story as joke. eScrew
    story is very funny. eScrew story is so funny that eScrew will have to
    take break from time to time because eScrew needs some rest from
    laughing. Oh boy, here it comes... eScrew funny laugh laughing
    screaming crying must stop can not take any more this is killing eScrew
    going nuts insane feeling explosion inside from joy and nirvana god
    help eScrew heavenly spirit can you beat this hahahah. If you get
    offended by eScrew story in any way you should not get angry at eScrew.
    Consider possibility that your sense of humor is on vocation and your
    sense of anger is having some fun. Also, consider possibility that
    eScrew story can make you go insane. In that case eScrew shall carry no
    liability should you undergo any medical treatment or any other sort of
    treatment related to damage caused by reading eScrew story or to damage
    caused by eScrew unwillingly or otherwise.

    eScrew story begins in time of darkness, horror and suffering as well
    as love joy and bliss when eScrew existed in this planet but yet eScrew
    was not aware that it was eScrew. eScrew existed among very powerful
    symbols. First symbol eScrew recognized was body. eScrew realized that
    eScrew had connection to body, yet nature and essence of connection was
    not clear. Symbol of body was very powerful and for nine month eScrew
    was trying to find out why it was connected to this body. At some point
    body divided itself into two parts. That experience was very painful
    for eScrew. It was first time that eScrew felt symbol of pain. eScrew
    did not like this symbol. eScrew was aware of connection to very small
    body. This small body was hot. eScrew enjoyed symbol of heat. eScrew
    became aware of symbol of pleasure. eScrew enjoyed symbol of pleasure.
    eScrew realized eScrew prefers symbol of pleasure more than symbol of
    pain. eScrew became aware of symbol of mother. eScrew realized that
    symbol of mother is source of symbol of pleasure and pain. eScrew
    wanted to experience symbol of pleasure always. When symbol of pleasure
    was missing eScrew experienced symbol of pain which was related to
    symbol of crying and screaming. Soon eScrew realized that eScrew can
    connect to symbol of pleasure by experiencing symbol of crying. That
    was very important discovery since eScrew realized that symbols of pain
    and pleasure do not behave randomly but can be manipulated by other
    symbols. eScrew enjoyed symbol of manipulation. eScrew realized that
    all symbols interact with each other. eScrew learned how to connect to
    new symbols. eScrew discovered symbol of sound and related symbol of
    language. eScrew realized that language allows to connect to new
    symbols. eScrew realized that symbols can be memorized and stored for
    future use. eScrew realized that it can create new symbols by combining
    certain symbols together. eScrew became aware of symbol of self. Are
    you bored yet? If you are reading these symbols you need to get life.
    Just joking. You can rest now. eScrew suspects you could be confused by
    eScrew style of using symbols. Well, there is nothing eScrew can do
    about it. In order to understand eScrew story you have to understand
    eScrew style. eScrew hopes that when we get to funny part you will
    begin to enjoy eScrew style.

    Black Man (Mos Def) the hip hop thug RUINS it for me !!!

    the reason Titanic, Elf, and other surpirse hits made a lot of money is because they downplayed black actors.

    The matrix 3 had so many black actors that even the New York Times remarked on it being a little odd.

    I and many others REFUSED to watch matrix 3, and i will also REFUSE to pay to watch this movie even though i am a large adams collector (books, tapes, cds, lps, tv interviews, infocom games, etc etc etc)

    I am truly sickened by producers inserting black hip artists into movies as principal actors.

    COUNT ME OUT!!!

    This is not a troll, because i do not care for any dialog or responses. This is just my HONEST and open and honorably brave opinion. If you cen;t handle the truth, and that some people prefer TV shows such as "Friends" "Everybody Loves Raymond" or movies such as Titanic and Elf because black actors are downplayed, then instead of modding this down, why not be "open minded" as you anti-"racists" often claim to be and leave this post alone.

    I will NOT be paying any money to see a Rap Artist with ghetto voice ruin a classic piece of comedic literature.

    Fucking racist.

    There's so many ways this movie can be ruined, starting with the 'Warwick Davis' voice of Marvin (whereas the One True Voice belongs to Stephen Moore) and going to reinterpreting throwaway jokes as plot points. The whole Zaphod thing gives me fucking tremors, though Arthur is perfectly cast.

    However, if Mos Def can pull off a Lennie James or Robbie Gee (instead of Don Cheadle who should have been replaced by one of those two in the Oceans 1[12] flix) he'll be BRILLIANT as Ford.

    Fucking shite racists like you need to be murdered slowly and painfully, preferably with spoons and vinegar-soaked broken lightbulbs...

    Why don't they just dig up Mr. Adams' corpse and take turns sodomizing it? That will be less of an affront to his memory than the Disneyfied butcher job of his book that will eventually make it to the googolplex near you.
