Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trailer
Rakkis writes "A new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trailer is available on the frontpage of Amazon.com. From IMDb: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy follows the travels of Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman), who is saved from the demolition of the Earth by his pal Ford Prefect (Mos Def). Ford is really an alien doing research for an updated edition of the universe's ultimate travel companion, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy opens April 29th.""
Is that where white-trash aliens live?
It looks much like the "old" trailer. Nothing to see here, move along...
you had me at #!
Golly. Wonder why so many people still use that bug-ridden, security nightmare called IE.
Glad to see that "moving to Canada" cliche is working for Michael. Is there NO ENVIRONMENT in which he can be safe to continue his holy mission of spreading his unique brand of enlightenment?
All things are possible with everything.
Bite me, Eisner.
Given how insanely wealthy he is from 10^24 stock options over 2 decades, and his penchant for diabolical schemes that Machiavelli would be proud of, I'd suggest not publishing a direct challenge to him in an open forum...
Should he ever be inclined, he could buy your house, your neighbours' houses, the company you work for, plus the companies of all your friends/family, and ensure you never have shelter nor employment ever again. To add insult to injury he'd bury you in legal paperwork for specious reasons from now until the end of eternity. And it would cost him the equivalent of a rounding-error on a weekly paycheque (for him).

I don't really mind the exclusivity clause.
What I have a problem with is the fact that, instead of providing it in a decent format and proper frame size so that anyone could view it, snag it to their desktop, they deliberately tried to make it un-downloadable (at least until somebody posts the file name, at which point I'm sure Slashdot will get another cease-and-desist letter for linking it that way).
Putting the file out in crappy resolution, in a shitty encoding format, and deliberately making it hard to enjoy the trailer don't help their cause. Disney should know this by now. Hell, even Apple have finally fixed the problems quicktime used to have.
The only way Disney could have done anything worse would have been to release it as a Realplayer file.
Some of us have other sources, and saw a high-quality version long before it appeared here. :o)

wouldn't that be the iRobot, and wasn't there a film with that title, which wasn't related to a book with the same title, released last year?
Music is everybody's possession.
It's only publishers who think that people own it.

I like how you consistently pretend that you weren't the troll. Especially after:
Unwavering denial and systematic attack of the the other side... you've been to the Karl Rove School Of Communication, haven't you?
You can't take the sky from me...
